    Red Sox acquire right-hander Naoyuki Uwasawa from TB for cash considerations

    Get Koji on the phone. Tell him to teach this guy the joys of throwing the splitter three ways.

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    And this is where the comps to the 86 team fall apart. That team had a raft of . . . shall we say . . . quirky looks: Bird, DJ, McHale, Walton.

    And the thing about the opening cash comment is that it was just missing a qualifier about "we can spend as much cash as we feel will make our team better." There's still plenty of time left in this offseason for possible trades that turn into big cash signings.

    Mayo: Season 1

    I posted this in the free agency thread, but it makes more sense here. I wonder if Mayo/Covington will bring any schematic changes to the D that would impact the types of players we are used to seeing in a Pats uni. More zone? More one-gapping? We've pretty much had the same basic scheme for 23...

    Non-Patriots Free Agency News 2024

    I wonder if Mayo/Covington will bring any schematic changes to the D that would impact the types of players we are used to seeing in a Pats uni. More zone? More one-gapping? We've pretty much had the same basic scheme for 23 years, which has clearly impacted the sorts of players that BB targeted.

    USMNT Fall 2023 - Spring 2024: Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss

    How does the EPL manage to do that? Reduce the number and location of seats available to fans of El Tri for any games on US soil (or any other countries where Mexican fans do this). Or go the other way, and eliminate any cluster of seats available to fans of El Tri -- divide and conquer, as I...

    Jrue the Damaja

    I would also think that moving down the offensive load chain from 2nd (after Giannis, esp when Middleton was out) to 3rd, 4th or 5th with the C's has to change the defensive calculus against him. For instance, against Miami last year, he was likely covered frequently by Butler (with Bam on the...

    Potential new NFL rules

    Thank you. I was doubting my memory.

    Potential new NFL rules

    Didn't there used to be a rule on the books -- and I'm talking many, many years ago, -- that prevented offensive players from pushing the ball-carrier forward. Sure, the Brotherly Shove is a big deal now, but the rugby scrum plays, especially ones where an offensive lineman comes blasting into...

    Exactly my point. Sow improved a lot over the course of the season, and I expect a big improvement going into Year 2 with the knowledge that that is where they will have him slotted.

    I would expect that Sow’s continued growth as RG will help Onwenu as an RT as he can focus more attention on the outside rushes.

    Doogie does defense, the Sam Hauser thread

    Do the weird machinations of the NBA CBA limit what Hauser can make in an extension vs open market?

    Pritchard Extended

    This playoff run will be fascinating to watch in terms of how effectively Hauser and PP can hold up in the relentless hunts that are sure to come (what else will teams do!).

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I wonder if the Vikes can't get the QB they want in any Day One maneuvering, that Jefferson suddenly becomes available that next morning.

    USMNT Fall 2023 - Spring 2024: Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss

    I feel like there was a friendly this winter where McKennie was the lone "star" in the lineup. His long distance services into the area were a treat to behold. Makes me think he would be excellent on set pieces from the 36 in.

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    Does this feel about right to those who follow the college QBs more than I? Maye: Ceiling = Josh Allen; Floor = Josh Rosen. Daniels: Ceiling = Lamar Jackson; Floor = RG3
