    SOSH has a new author

    Game 5 was also Pedro Martinez last start at Fenway Park in a Red Sox uniform. I always thought that was another interesting nugget about Game 5. Much like Game 5 itself, this fact is lost over time. It's understandable, as Pedro's last start for the Sox was World Series Game 3 in St. Louis...

    Patriots sign Montee Ball and DeAndre Carter to PS, Cut WR Austin Hill and DT Kelcy Quarles.

    I was pretty down on Blount these last couple of weeks, but when I looked at his numbers this year, they're actually decent. 4.3 YPA puts him at 17th in the NFL amongst qualified running backs. Nothing elite, but better than a lot of other guys. Only 1 fumble this year, so he's been steady...

    Vlade and The Trainwrecks - Live in Concert!

    If that implication (that the league won't grow due to biased refereeing) was how my message came across, then I apologize for not being clear. I don't think that is the case. The league is growing just fine. I do think it would be beneficial for fans if the NBA had (or at least publicized) a...

    Vlade and The Trainwrecks - Live in Concert!

    As we all knew, Rondo is an asshole. Let there be no doubt, you can't go up to a ref and say those shitty things regardless of the refs sexual preference. Rondo is rightfully getting punished. But the NBA has to be really careful here. I already see the social justice warrior / PC principal...

    The Game Ball Thread: Wk 14 at Texans

    - The whole defense won this game tonight. The sequence in the 3rd quarter after the Keshawn Martin muffed punt was where the game was won IMO (20-6 at that point with Texans in the red zone). They got screwed by the refs on the DeAndre Hopkins fumble (really puzzling call). Then Butler saved a...

    NFL Week 14 Game Thread

    I get that you can only play whatever teams the league schedules you into. But man have the Pats had a lucky out of division schedule this year. You can argue the AFC South and NFC East are the two worst divisions in the NFL. Contrast that to next year, when the Pats have the NFC West and AFC...

    The Game Goat Thread: Wk 13 vs Eagles

    I thought the offensive line was quite poor. 4 sacks allowed. It seemed like Brady was under siege all day. I don't see the "hurries" count anywhere, but I recall it being at least 12 drop backs (out of 39 or so?) where Brady was facing intense pressure. Philadelphia is a middle of the road...

    The Gronk Injury Thread: Crisis Avoided (Bone Bruise - Week to Week)

    Yeah, definitely agree. This has agent / family written all over it. It's different, but at the end of the day though, we receive hall of fame level production from this guy. I imagine Belichick gladly puts up with some goofy branding/public relations bullshit for the performance on the field...

    Brockos Week(aka Denver Week)

    Who knows if Collins has enough strength to go on Sunday, but this is a positive sign. If the Broncos defense is the best in the league, the Pats defense isn't far behind. Expect a real low scoring game this Sunday.

    2015 Jets: Back on Track

    Thankfully, the Jets are paying for Revis' declining years while he takes up 10% of the salary cap for the next 2-3 years.

    NFL Week 11 game thread

    Talib getting burned deep for a big gain. Broncos defense looks stout in the red zone so far, but plenty of holes in the middle of the field. Broncos seem to be blitzing Ward a lot on 3rd downs with some success. I can't understand why the Bears keep ignoring him.

    2015 Patriots 53-man Roster & Practice Squad Watch

    This probably means we're seeing 1 of Vollmer, Jackson, or Cannon back for Buffalo on Monday night.

    David Ortiz will retire at end of 2016 season.

    Wow. We all knew this day would arrive, but it's nonetheless jarring to think of this franchise without Ortiz. There is plenty of time in the next year for hagiographies, tears, and all the schmaltz. Yankee fans will probably get a taste our thoughts during Jeter's last year. I just think it's...

    Edelman has a Jones fracture in his foot; could be back this season; many fans rendered humorless

    It's better to have Edelman for the playoffs than no Edelman, but my main concern is how effective he will truly be after 2 months of not playing in meaningful games. Look at Gronk at the start of 2014. It took him until the 4th game back to become productive again. Granted, that was an...

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Great interview. Without degenerating this into V&N territory, I'm not a fan of Obama, but I enjoyed reading this because of Simmons. Loved the right cross to ESPN and John Skipper to open up the article: Then I loved the interaction on Goodell: Pretty entertaining stuff there. Reading...

    Saints fire Rob Ryan

    Damn, they might as well can the guy. I don't see much sense in leaving his status up in the air. Just rip it off like a band-aid. It appears that whole Saints operation is a bit of a mess. Goodell really put the screws to that franchise with his bounty dick swinging.

    The Game Ball Thread: Wk 10 at Giants

    I though it was a solid job from the defense today. They were really stout against the run. Yeah, they got carved up in the passing game, but this Giants team has a legitimately powerful offense. They get paid to perform as well, so it wasn't like this Pats secondary was going to shut them down...

    Edelman has a Jones fracture in his foot; could be back this season; many fans rendered humorless

    It would have been great if Wes Welker waited 1 more week for a job. Fucking A. With all the other injuries, how can they stash Edelman on the 53 man roster and also put the right number of guys in uniform each week? I would think one of Marcus Cannon, Sebastian Vollmer, or Tre Jackson would...

    Doomed to Repeat It: The Greg Hardy Story

    Maybe Goodell or Pash put a muzzle on her before the "hearing": though. There's always 2 sides to the story. It's certainly possible that she's another bozo within the clown car. I'm not sure we have information to say. Although if she is really employed by the NFL for just optics, why would...

    Giants-Patriots: We're on to New York.

    I just want them to win so Belichick doesn't have a losing record against any team.
