    Still a, what, 30% chance? Higher than the 5% (?) Hail Mary right?

    Roki Sasaki to sign with Dodgers

    I don’t know. I hear you, but: 1) They aren’t the Yankees. 2) This is the league’s own fault for not setting rules and harder caps. Everything the Dodgers are doing was predictable and warned about years ago. 3) Individually it’s hard for me to find much animosity for these Dodgers. Dave...

    Tom Brady is retired

    Also a lot of fans are saying Brady was calling out in real time that the Lions had 12 men on the field on the penalty that helped seal the game. Others are saying Brady was calling for the Commanders to call timeout to avoid a delay of game. Either way, he finally has a viral “Romo moment”...

    The Conductor: who should Breslow haul to Boston this winter?

    I don’t mean to take this thread off into a tangent, but I don’t understand this. Are you suggesting no other free agent last year would have changed the Sox fortunes? I’m not sure what “over the top” mean, but the Sox missed the playoffs by 5 games. Reynaldo Lopez was a 5 WAR pitcher for the...

    Full scale coaching changes underway

    Unclear situation there. He was hired to be “Mayo’s right hand man” per Reiss in April, no idea how that went this year. Even when he was a player he was apparently the spiritual leader and mentor of the locker room and has lived in the region for many years, so I wonder if he’d be open to...

    Uche traded to Kansas City

    Uche inactive today for KC. Despite my serious concerns with this front office getting a 6th for him was a good job. View: https://twitter.com/mikereiss/status/1880714378489860129?s=46&t=6DB7f-vL8rs72lyXNmMD-A

    Full scale coaching changes underway

    Eh, the coaching world is relatively insular. I'm sure someone is doing Wilkins a solid. Also, did he have a lousy rep coming in? He lasted a decade on the Ravens staff (considered one of the classes of the league, right?) getting promoted so he must have been doing something right, I imagine...

    Next Coordinators - who do you want?

    Yeah it’s just… weird. McCown has been an NFL positional coach for about 30 games after working as a part time assistant HS coach? 30 games into his coaching career Belichick was a special teams coach with the 1977 Lions. Andy Reid was an OL coach with San Francisco State in the mid 80s. 30...

    Next Coordinators - who do you want?

    I'm genuinely curious: what am I missing? McCown's entire body of coaching experience -- as far as I can tell from Wikipedia -- is as a part-time QB coach on a HS team (while playing in the NFL), 11 games as a QB coach on a 1-10 Panthers team before getting fired, and one season as Vikings QB...

    Roki Sasaki to sign with Dodgers

    Same here, I have no problem watching Mookie and Dave Roberts thriving and winning World Series, and they're safely in the NL. If the League and fans want to end the era of deferred contracts and superteam juggernauts, I believe the current CBA expires in December 2026? Could be well timed as...

    Full scale coaching changes underway

    I realize now the list of coaches has been taken down from Patriots.com understandably. So here's what archive.org captured in December: https://web.archive.org/web/20241202205124/https://www.patriots.com/team/coaches-roster/ Names and titles below: Offensive Coordinator Alex Van Pelt Tight...

    Full scale coaching changes underway

    It's sad to see people lose their jobs, no question. So I'm not celebrating this news, but I certainly understand it. We shouldn't be surprised to bid farewell to anyone who was a part of the coaching and front office staff the past two seasons. Two quick notes: 1) A notable name not on that...

    2025 Patriot WR Discussion

    Right, Baker is a total unknown, on top of being a 4th rounder. Given that he was in the worst WR room in the NFL and still couldn't get on the field for more than ~80 snaps, that's not a great sign. There was that one game when he had an impressive 45-yard kickoff return and then muffed the...

    The Conductor: who should Breslow haul to Boston this winter?

    This is a good an interesting conversation to follow. This is pretty much exactly where I am on the offense, for the record: Ultimately, I think the 2024 Red Sox should have been a very good hitting team that was dragged down to just a solid hitting team by: 1) nearly season-long injuries to...

    2025 Mock Drafts

    That's an interesting point. I wonder whether the truly "high floor" guys are only available at the top half of the 1st round, where for the most part you can draft guys who have all the physical tools and game tape to make you feel confident they will at least be an average starter in the NFL...

    2025 Mock Drafts

    Ain't that the truth. I guess it makes sense, in that you're a) making predictions about the future (ask meteorologists and stock traders how easy that is), and b) unlike evaluating the NASDAQ or the atmosphere, you're making those predictions about individual human beings. Anyway, I've decided...

    2025 Patriots RB Discussion

    This is an interesting discussion to follow from afar, glad it's split out into a new thread. Ultimately though I think many of you have made the point persuasively elsewhere that the team can't force it in the draft. Just because the Patriots need OL, it's risky to draft for need and pick an...
