    First time visit to Fenway

    I just want to say that in 1999 I worked at an internet startup that was essentially a bunch of message boards and on my first day i saw a post from a kid in the UK asking for people to explain the rules of baseball to him and dozens of American kids eagerly took the time to explain baseball in...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Yes, I think as with most things the truth is somewhere in the middle. I'm trying to think about it from the Apple perspective. I think someone over there said, "Where's our Drive To Survive? Let's take some meetings." not "Do we know anybody with a good take on why Bill Belichick sucks? Let's...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Yes. Do I think the filmmakers were fist pumping anytime Belichick answered one of their questions with 8 seconds of tight lipped silence? Yes I do. But not because their agenda was to trash Bill. Their agenda was to hook viewers into watching the next episode.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    I did. I mostly liked it but also recognize its doing a different job than Do Your Job. For context, my 79 year old mother who has deep resentment about the amount of time and money her husband and sons spent on the Patriots over this time span DEVOURED this series and watched the Hernandez...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    "A neutral retelling of past events" is a terrible pitch for a TV show. Hamacheck's agenda was to sell a TV show to Apple, the #5 streamer trying to grow its audience. I haven't seen Drive To Survive but my understanding is that its not a neutral retelling of past events created for F1 fans...

    Mayo: Season 1

    Or Onwenu and Duggar upped their asking price after Mayo said they were burning cash and Wolf asked him kindly to not make his job any harder. You can be open for business and not want to overpay everybody for no reason.

    The Fox sports s***show thread (Ken Rosenthal needs a new place to write about baseball)

    I'm growing increasingly curious what the plan for Katie Nolan is. I had expected a fall relaunch with her at the center, but there has been no announcements, publicity or promos to that extent. She's been essentially radio silent other than sharing that she was traveling to Isreal with Kraft...

    It Comes!

    I'll be there and plan to buy one of portnoy's bozo shirts for the occassion (although I prefer the "Goodell Loves ISIS" tee). I would love it if the stadium was filled with them. A clown out.

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    Just standing in line at a bagel place in queens wearing my Pats knit cap. Jets fan in line behind me taps me on the shoulder and asks, "be honest with me - are guys getting sick of winning yet?" I said, "nah - it still feels pretty great. Not quite the same as in 2001, but it's still way...

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    I'm trying really really hard to remember the late 90s and making the trip up to foxboro from new york every sunday morning and sitting in that JV aluminum deathtrap hoping and praying Pete and Drew could win enough to get us a home playoff game. It feels like something I read about rather than...

    2019 Chargers: Home Alone

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    He's really got to work on his prompter game. Affleck on deflategate was awesome and Simmons somehow kept himself from over-interupting. Thought he was genuinely great with Barkley. The written pieces are not working.

    TB Suspension: Cheater free to play again

    Because the alternative was issuing a public apology to Bob Kraft. And that was never, ever, ever going to happen. No matter what. I know some think Kraft should have done more or fought harder, but when he issued that demand, the die was cast. If Roger wasnt already on the path to covering his...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    Incredibly disingenuous to not even mention the non-stop breathless parade of talking heads they put on-air to drag Brady and New England's legacy through the mud with seemingly no attempts made to clear up or explain what was actually happening. ESPN had a choice: Find the truth or feed the...

    Sour Gripes- What could have been...

    I remember the prospect of a home playoff game feeling like a divine gift bestowed by the Almighty. And I am not looking forward to a day where our postseason elligibility is once again no longer a given. But the price of success is legacy. And as such the stakes are always higher. And the lows...
