    Pats FA Day 5: Cherry on Top?

    We've seen enough over the years to know that the Patriots certainly aren't the team for everyone. But if you love football, and never want to have to worry about not knowing where you stand, it seems like there's NE and everywhere else. No tricks, no tricks as Raekwon said at the top of...

    Patrick Chung to retire

    So I work in television, and do some of the shoots with the teams leading into the Super Bowl. You know-- look into the camera, tell us why you're like family; cross your arms and look bad-ass, etc. That kind of stuff. Seeing some of my other NFL work Atta Boy'ed on here is one of the reasons I...

    2020 Pats: Roster & Beyond (non-QB edition)

    The team never should've been punished for the Bengals/Doc shoot, and if you ever want to believe that the league has it out for the Pats, this is all the evidence you need. It was a NOTHING story, and a non-event, and should NEVER in a million years gotten that far. It also had NOTHING at all...

    2020 NFL: Wk.5 Game Thread

    Same trajectory here. Was tough to watch the 2nd half of that Chargers game and not feel the same thrill of, "he's not going to lose this damn game!" 5 TDs, in total command of the game-- we don't get to see that all the time in football, no matter who you root for. It's football played at the...

    2020 Pats: Gilmore Tests Positive for C-19 but Asymptomatic

    Forfeits are a mess-- beyond just the issues with player's getting paid and TV networks losing games, think of this from the Pats standpoint. They want Buffalo to lose to Tennessee. All of a sudden, Buffalo moves to 5-0 and doesn't have to play a game-- meanwhile, you're traveling day of game...

    2020 NFL: Wk.5 Game Thread

    I think it's insane seeing these hand shakes at the end of the game. Granted, you've just played an entire game-- but the optics are so bizarre and brutal. Zero problem with him running off as we gear up for Tuesday Night Football.

    2020 Pats: QB Situation Beyond Cam

    Given that, it makes sense to go with a 12 year veteran. I also don't get the, "if Stidham can't beat Hoyer, why keep him?" logic, especially in a year where you're brining a new QB into the system for the first time in 20 years, and it's the most uncertain year in league history, with...

    2020 Jets

    Especially with the "poise" Gregg Williams showed last night, they have even less to gain by firing Gase. You want HIM in as your interim? A Gase led team does seem to run the real risk of the ignominy of going 0-16. But hell, with their talent, they run the same risk with Williams, plus...

    2020 NFL: Wk.3 Game Thread

    What a gorgeous play design. Mahomes is great-- but what that team is doing with space this year is just amazing. Seriously, get Bienemy a damn job.

    Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman suspended for on-air homophobic epithet

    Ha, thanks man. Spelled his damn name wrong the whole post- clearly, it's good I'm no longer fonting games for a living, or I'd be looking for work. Can still spell Krzyzewski without looking it up, though... Will carry that with me to my death bed. And you-- and many others-- weren't racing...

    Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman suspended for on-air homophobic epithet

    Hi everyone. First post! I've read and loved SOSH since my years in Boston (2002-2010). While living there, I worked for one of the local sports teams, and then left town to work in network sports. I worked a lot of sports (never baseball, though), both live and then in the edited/doc world, and...
