    NCAA Tournament First Four and Thursday Game Thread

    Let's remember that the committee said the seeding for Mountain West teams were hurt because their big wins came in conference. But if you look at the teams that made the tournament, the average NET ranking of their best non-conference wins, Big 12: 55.125 Mountain West: 38. So basically the...

    NCAA Tournament East Region

    They definitely did it was ranked in the 320s. Most of the Big 12 played cupcake non-con knowing the league would boost their numbers

    Macksonville: Mac Traded to Jaguars

    As a Jags fan I am taking up a collection for a season's worth of bubble wrap for Trevor...smh

    Eliot Wolf will be in charge of the personnel department,

    I'm not a Pats fan but I did watch that and this is the stuff that has me most curious when it comes to roster building. How different are the types of players this regime will draft compared to the last considering how much the game has evolved since 2000. All the things DJ mentions is what I...

    Mayo: Season 1

    To be fair though people get all "run through a wall" impressed after introductory press conferences. But honestly shouldn't that be the way they all sound? Say the right things get people excited. If you don't sound impressive you've hired the wrong person. These letters and PCs for new hires...

    What is next for BB?

    Looking at this and the post Toe quoted, I genuinely wonder if the BB and his operation of the last few years just doesn't have the reputation around the league that those in Patriot fandom think he has (or think he should have).

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    You don't accept mediocrity? But you're thriving on it with the asset that started your whole FSG venture...GTFOH with that crap!

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    You're right, my bad, in my brain we were talking more boycott (as a financial statement), not necessarily quitting. As a kid who threw a toy in the fireplace during game 6 of '86, I don't think I could ever fully quit either.

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    As to the bolded I'd say yes in some form. I'm sure even if we don't watch as much we will still check boxscores and watch highlights, but with more and more people cutting the cord (like myself) I could see NESN360 subs going down (I won't be renewing) and that is something even if we aren't...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    I was a Bloom guy and thought he should've been given the offseason to spend based on what ownership was shoveling to us at the time. I then began to laugh as they had so much trouble getting people to interview for the position. Then it was let's see what Breslow can do with the young pitching...

    More like SG...There is no Fenway anymore. Really interested to see the numbers on Imanaga.

    Black Monday watch

    They need new blood on the defensive side, the secondary in particularly has been weak, not very physical. I'm ok with this change

    Also, "likely to finalize his contract before his posting window closes" really? You don't say, thanks Morosi

    Week 18

    Not to speak for Mauf but I would for one more season (at least) bc of the injuries. They need some help on the offensive line and a serious revamp of the secondary IMO. Press Taylor had a bad game, went away from Etienne and got far too cute with calls at critical times imo.

    Week 18

    I'm with ya Mauf so disappointing. can we please get a more physical secondary please?

    Week 18

    As a Jags fan I am furious. What are you doing? Hand it to Etienne twice if you don't get it so be it. But JFC, what are those 2 calls in that situation?

    Offseason rumors

    I agree with all of this, beginning with the Thursday deadline for Imanaga. Another reason that has me thinking this is that (at least to me) why do the local guys have this narrative but it seems like the national guys still have the Sox in (to some extent) on the guys people want them in on...
