    I’m all in for the Browns and Lions - let someone’s drought end.

    Week 18: Last Ride Against the Gang(G)rene

    I’m never going to blame him for drafting Mac Jones - it was seen as a steal at the time and for most of his rookie year. You know whose fault Mac Jones’ failure to develop as a pro QB was? Mac Jones. He went backwards from about the three quarter mark of that first year. He threw his coaching...

    Week 18: Last Ride Against the Gang(G)rene

    Completely agree - his legacy is secure - but the end of this era is awful to see. In any event - ‘’twas a great ride. Glad to have you all along.

    This is sad. Really - in the true sense of that word.

    Week 18: Last Ride Against the Gang(G)rene

    4th quarter and we’re within one score. Believe the record this year in that situation is 1-11

    Someone has to take the hit. Opie Steps up vs Giants

    I understand what you’re saying but the honest reply on my end is that I trust him as much as I trust any of the alternatives. I thought Gonzalez was an excellent choice this year - and he gets injured. Get him an assistant GM with a personnel background or some equivalent help but I value...

    Someone has to take the hit. Opie Steps up vs Giants

    Just sad. One thing I think that may be worth keeping in mind - BB has always said that players win games and coaches only put them in positions where they can do that. This team (indeed - all the teams since a certain No. 12 left) have consistently been in one score/one play games - they just...

    2023 WC Round Game/Discussion Thread

    Less than 20,000 fans in Tampa - disgraceful.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    Sad beyond words. Certainly one of the true good guys - who really got this town and team. Also (while this will be known to most on this site) one of the most important and transformational players in Red Sox history. Bridging the gap from the Clemens to the Pedro years, epitomising the type of...

    2022-23 Bruins Season

    You're not wrong - and there were other games in that series that hurt even worse than Game 6 (Game 2 - up 5-2 going into the 3rd period). But Dryden was the difference - the Bruins that year thought they could score their way out of any hole (and they were, until Dryden came along - absolutely...

    2022-23 Bruins Season

    Following this team has been an incredible experience. The records they have set, the front office moves to get better, the camaraderie that is obvious to any observer, the depth at every level - all point to a deep run in the playoffs. But for a group of Bruins fans of a certain age this...

    RIP Bill Campbell

    1977. I just remember listening to the radio at family cookouts in the Berkshires. That team would fall behind by three early, hit five homeruns to take the lead and then turn the ball over to Campbell in the seventh to close things out. Along with 2003 probably my favorite Sox team that didn't...

    Worst play in NFL history POLL

    I understand the Pisarcik love/hate being given here since it turned a win into a loss, whereas Jakobi just turned a chance at overtime into a loss. But I'm going to take the situation into account and bring up John Kasay kicking off out of bounds in the friggin' Super Bowl here. These are...

    What is the greatest need right now?

    I probably fall more in the "other" camp but that is a bit of a cop out since you could pretty much go through every aspect of both on-field and off-field operations to find flaws right now - so I went with "Moar Bullpen" mainly because I think the team will struggle to score runs at the clip...

    Brady is back….back again

    One of the leads in the Globe today (and getting big play all across NFL coverage) is the roughing the passer call that went in favor of the Bucs. Definitely not a good call but Brady is being singled out unfairly IMHO. The heightened level of protection is visible everywhere after the Tua...
