    So, how did you spend your month?

    Revis the Patriot: Countdown to March 10th

    Wow. Didn't see a 1 year deal coming. Where's the fucking like button? Weren't we already tight with the cap though? Time to go bargain hunting.

    Revis Island to be annexed to Foxboro?

      Doesn't BB seem like the kind of guy that wouldn't forget these comments? I can't recall a player he acquired or resigned that defied/slandered him like that. Am I forgetting someone?     Revis's remarks seem to pass the "just a competitor being competitive" line.   Maybe it's a positive sign...

    The future of Red Sox Catching

      Where did you find these times? Is there a comprehensive database? It'd be interesting to dig into.

    Marlins "Outraged" by Red Sox Lineup for ST Game

      I suppose the additional revenue could be an investment (if they actually spent it on their brand). However, I suspect that most of the fans that paid the inflated ticket prices were Red Sox fans (or fans of the game). The Marlins are so non-competitive that I can't imagine their fans get...

    Antoine Walker for 4?

    Bank shots worth an extra point!

    Antoine Walker for 4?

      Or they'd just avoid taking shots from that area. I'm pretty sure they could fine tune the spacing to balance the difficulty of setting your feet, with the ease of the shooting distance.   Ultimately I like simple solutions that are minimally disruptive. Changing the court size and adding new...

    Aaron Hernandez charged with 1st degree murder; released by Patriots

        Unless he was given more freedom in the past few months it's definitely suspicious.   Prison guard corruption certainly isn't a Hollywood invention. It's certainly possible that he made arrangements. However, they usually do stuff that is unlikely to blow back on them. In this case, you'd...

    It might have more to do with the contract extension aspect. Where dollars from the existing contract count towards to total value of the new contract.   I think he kept extending his rookie contract, so the size kept growing.

      I think the resigning bonus did survive the new CBA. It's somewhere around page 144.     My lawyer speak sucks, but I read that to mean that a smarty pants GM can still pull this off.

      Sorry I should've said "re-sign". I thought you can give a fat bonus that counts against the current cap year if you're under the cap. Has this become illegal since Collison? I don't see it mentioned in the CBA FAQ, so now I'm not sure. Google isn't helping either.   If it's possible you might...

    Building the next winning team/We can't stay on topic thread

    One option for a team with surplus cap space is to sign a 2nd tier FA to a massively front-loaded contract. Take the cap hit in the year you have the surplus and gain a valuable underpaid guy in subsequent years. This is the opposite of the Asik dynamic. We talked about this strategy one one of...

      I agree that they're at a disadvantage with FAs, but under the right circumstances it's possible. Imagine...   - Get lucky with ping-pong balls and draft Joel Embiid. He shows flashes of greatness in his 1st two seasons. - Resigning Rondo in 2015 (for slightly less than max). - Sullinger...

    Yeah, you're probably right. It seems like Cuban is just using "culture" as an excuse to do whatever he wants to do. Here's a fun snippet from the failed Mavericks Dwight Howard pitch...     I like how he doesn't actually address the question of Dwight vs the Mavs culture. But hey he's a good...

    By the way... I get a permissions error on the image you uploaded. Maybe it requires the keys to the executive washroom.

    I like Cuban and it's obvious he's bringing some of his corporate experience with culture to this discussion. Corporate culture is very hard to develop and maintain. If managed successfully it can help produce stellar returns.   However, Cuban faces a bit of a paradox when applying that model to...

    I don't understand RSS

    I'm confused by your reference to RSS. This is Open Graph stuff. Open Graph is just a way to provide web crawlers some meta information about your pages and content.   Is your issue the Invision Board interface or the actual markup syntax?   Here's what I see... <meta name="ogimage"...

    NBA Trade Deadline Discussion

      This goes back to one of my original points. There are no good fits right now. Houston doesn't really have what we need and their GM is too smart to get screwed by Danny. The contenders that could use Rondo don't have sexy assets.
