    The Ringer

    I am not done yet, needed to take a break for less mentally taxing fare. I was listening on my commute and found myself wanting to stop to Google 8 times a minute. Just chock full of unexplained, tossed-off references to 40 years of pop culture, politics, and history. I really think an...

    The Ringer

    Not a must listen for me, but it definitely fills a void when I am want to hear someone talk about a big win by the Celtics, Sox or Pats (theoretically for the last 2). Handy that the show description tells me when I can safely skip talk about Mac Jones trade rumors. I expect I will enjoy...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I have YTTV and my brother has Fubo. We are allowed to share with people outside of the household, but there are some limits on the total number of screens you can use, so I have been trying to use the NESN360 app with his Fubo credentials to limit the number of people logged in to Fubo. That...

    2023 Angels: A Sho-wan song?

    So am I correct in calculating that if Shohei goes every fifth game, he would be starting the Patriot's Day game at Fenway? Obviously a lot can happen to change the rotation, but it seems like that is the only date he could even possibly pitch during the Sox series.

    Pearl Jammin' with Grandpa, the Bill Simmons Thread

    I missed that Klosterman was on last week because the stupid episode title leads with Jon Jones and Ariel Helwani, which is a no for me, dawg. Will have to circle back now.

    The Ringer

    As a huge golf dork, it is awesome to see CR on this week's No Laying Up mega-pod about the Full Swing Netflix show, plus recent No Laying Up hire Kevin Van Valkenburg on The Press Box with Bryan Curtis was a very fun listen.

    120 Songs - gotta get Matt Pinfield on at some point, right?

    The Ringer

    Harvilla on Vanilla Ice is gold, of course. I think the hardest I have laughed out loud listening to a podcast in 2022 was when:

    The Ringer

    I was pleased that 60 Songs now shows up in my podcast app of choice (Pocket Casts), which means I don't need to remember to go to Spotify separately just for that show. The Pearl Jam episode was definitely ripped from my parallel existence, down to reflexively responding "4:30!" when asked what...

    Pearl Jammin' with Grandpa, the Bill Simmons Thread

    Is it driving anyone else insane that Simmons has been using the same pre-recorded ad copy for Simplii Safe where he messes up ever/even in the first line for about a month now?

    2022-2023 General Celtics thread

    So is there a trade to be made to get F/C depth in return for PP? Would also be open to a bigger upgrade in return for White, but I think he ends up being important depth for potential injuries to Smart and Brogdon. Also, am I correct that there is no way to bring back Theis if he were to be...

    The Ringer

    What do people think of Barrett? I have only heard him a few times on Sox postgame (don't listen to WEEI for the most part), and I was really impressed with his preparation and use of stats, but have also heard him come across as fairly condescending/mean. He will have some really strong...

    The Ringer

    These last two weeks were both fantastic episodes, and Coaston was the rare guest I stayed around to listen to.

    Best Celtics never to win a ring in Boston

    Is Reggie the only retired number without a ring? Never mind, answered my own question - Macaulay's 22 also hangs in the rafters.

    2022 US Open (Golf) - The Country Club in South Brookline, MA

    There is a USGA-sponsored "19th Hole" at High Street Place Foodhall tomorrow afternoon (4-9), featuring a live Shotgun Start podcast (Brendan!), but not sure they will have any merch.

    2022 US Open (Golf) - The Country Club in South Brookline, MA

    With plenty of daylight and TV coverage on NBC scheduled to go until 8, I would expect final 2-some to go off around 3:30. Sunday will go a bit earlier to leave time for a playoff (no more 18 hole Monday).

    2022 US Open (Golf) - The Country Club in South Brookline, MA

    Caleb was out yesterday with Wellesley lad Michael Thorbjornsen, who has some interesting parallels to Francis Ouimet. Francis did not attend IMG Academy, to my knowledge, though.

    2022 US Open (Golf) - The Country Club in South Brookline, MA

    I was there yesterday. Here are a few fairly practical takeaways: I took the parking shuttle from Lot X (parking garage by Trip Advisor in Needham) and it dropped us off next to a small farm across the street from the 5th hole by Gate 7. I believe all of the parking lots will go to different...

    Edit: Jose is kind of dumb about DVRing games

    What service do you use? There is often a setting you can opt into to only record the first showing of a game/show, which would avoid this issue that must have been caused by ESPN replaying the game over night. Youtube TV also allows you to "Choose Recording" if it has multiple versions of the...

    5 vs 8: Where we discuss the quality (or lack thereof) of NBA Playoff Officiating

    This was the call I found most egregious while watching in real time. It should have been Giannis's 4th foul in the 3rd quarter, instead it was Grant's 3rd, followed quickly by his 4th, followed by some unfortunate Daniel Theis time and suddenly Jaylen is guarding Giannis one on one after the...
