    Tatum or Ant?

    Until Boston sent out the reserves to play the last four games, they were 62-16, which would be the same winning percentage. And the Celtics did that without cherry-picking games.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Maye, maybe. Daniels? Well, he’d be QB1 next year. But I’d also make the remark that being QB1 in a class doesn’t make a QB elite. Daniels’s only elite trait is his running/speed. But he runs very recklessly as a very skinny QB who, due to age and frame, is unlikely to ever get big enough to...

    4/16/24 - Sandman v. The Lover of Epstein?

    Signed, Epstein’s Mom.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Except that unless they’re lucky the Pats really don’t. Being the third best in QB in a class doesn’t make a QB elite. Caleb Williams has a good chance to be elite. I’m warming on the thought that Maye might be able to do it. The other two? I just don’t see it. They’re far closer to Jalen Hurts...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I mean if New England were drafting #2, this would be completely reasonable. They're not.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Honestly I’m not a fan of either Daniels or JJM, so if those are the options at #3 I’m hoping that the Patriots make a deal with Minnesota or whoever to acquire a passel of picks.

    Refs gone wild: a place to complain about NBA referees and propose solutions to improving officiating

    Yeah, if last night is the template for playoff reffing you can pencil the Heat in for the title, because they’re the best rugby team in the NBA.

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Yeah, I was going to say, we've already watched Little Rafi turn a routine line drive down the LF line into a triple. He may not be Jarren Duran fast, but he's fast. At the least it guarantees them options as they have the spot stabilized for the length of the deal (I'm going to guess six with...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    If I had to make a very rough guess, in 2-4 years, whenever Miguel Bleis is ready to take over the CF spot, having Little Rafi on a long term deal makes him really valuable in trade (again, assuming that he's a leage average hitter).

    2024 NBA Draft

    They nicknamed his transition game The Great Sea Sponge Migration.

    2024 NBA Draft

    I loved him until he became an insufferable douchebag in the Three Amigos era. Celtics/Rockets loyalty runs deeper than Marquette loyalty.

    2024 NBA Draft

    I just meant that you have to remember my evaluations of Marquette guys are never rational as they’re my Div 1 team (I loved Butch Lee when I was a kid, I cheered that ‘78 team till my throat went raw).

    2024 NBA Draft

    You’re clearly baiting me with Marquette’s PG. I’m with you on Carter, though. He’s one of those guys that I can easily see playing 10-12 years in the NBA. He’s just really really solid player that plays good D. I wouldn’t be upset if he floated to #30 for Boston.

    2024 NBA Draft

    This draft is a nightmare. I see a lot of guys that I think can be turned into useful NBA rotation players. And I know that somewhere in that pool is an all star, because there always is. But damned if I can see them. Alexandre Sarr maybe? But it’s tough to evaluate his athleticism against NBL...

    Choose Your Own Adventure: What is your reasonably realistic path to the Finals for the Celtics?

    I mean Miami defenders literally go out of their way to step under shooters and rebounders, which carries significant injury risk. It really has nothing to to with Rondo and everything to do with the sheer number of players that get injured while playing them because they landed on someone’s...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    I watched the Deflategate episode, figuring that would tell me about the series as a whole. After watching it I was quite sad... for Mayo, to be stuck working for the ownership group that would shit all over the guys that made them billions. I hope the Krafts enjoy bringing back the late 80s and...

    Agents of KAOS: Rafaela, Duran, and O'Neill

    Even shorter than Steve, and that's saying something. I towered over him, and I was 5'10".

    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    Actually what happened is that he got into an argument at the fish market and fish slapped a vendor with Chilean sea bass, resulting in a first degree sprain of the fourth lumbrical muscle.
