    Chelsea FC tickets in the spring

    Bumping this thread because I managed to get hospitality tickets for Chelsea's Boxing Day game from a friend who is a season ticket holder! I am incredibly excited - I don't know all the details yet, but I believe I get stadium access up to 3 hours before kick-off and it includes a 4 course...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    I apologize for the digression, if this is indeed not the place for the topic, please delete my posts. There is no other avenue for me to ask these questions since I don’t have access to V&N but I wanted to see others thoughts on this.

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    Follow up on the argument that the NBA head coaching pool should closely (or more closely) match the player pool by race. Would it be more fair/equitable/(insert adjective) to say that maybe it should more closely match the available coaching pool if we’re looking to fairly represent the...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    I'm going to try to be as tactful as possible, because I'm genuinely coming from a place of wonder here. But, if a group of white men demanded that their boss only be white, wouldn't that come off as... super racist? I get the historical element and background, political climate, etc. I know...

    The Not Soon Enough 2023 NBA Free Agency Thread!

    I think you all missed the point of his original comment. He's not arguing Trae is better or has more potential. He's simply noting that he enjoys watching Trae play more than Luka. One is a diminutive dynamo, lighting it up from anywhere on the court he wants to, and creating a ton of exciting...

    In-season NBA news thread

    What is wrong with you people? Screaming bloody murder at the top of your lungs is not "cute", it's not "funny" in an "enthusiastically oddball way". It is one thing: annoying. If my daughter did it, I'd tell her to stop the very moment she started. If someone next to me did it at a game I paid...

    Jaylen Brown, Year 7

    Aren’t you all making this more complicated than it needs to be RE Jaylen’s +/- when he’s off the court or am I underthinking it…? When Jaylen sits, it is likely that “bench” or non-starter units are in on both teams. Our non-starting unit is *significantly* stronger than most every other...

    We’re Back! Match Thread April 1- April 5

    As a fellow Chelsea supporter, is this entirely true? I don’t get to watch every match, but the ones I’ve seen don’t really scream out managerial malpractice to me. They very often play beautiful football: creating many chances against packed in defenses, incisive passing all over the pitch...

    Kyrie is dirty rotten no good and we have schadenfreude…?

    I really don't have any skin in the game here, but if there's one thing that bothers me about this place (I have lurked almost exclusively for the past 15-17 years or whatever), it's this. In a rush to vomit out their righteousness, people pile on without really trying to empathize or understand...

    Apple rumored to stop using Intel chips by 2020

    Not really sure which thread I should post in, but I've got a problem with my late 2012 model 21.5" iMac that I cannot solve. I use it as a business computer for reference. The latest OS that it had been updated to was Mavericks 10.9.something - it would no longer update itself and I could not...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I am overwhelming myself (probably unnecessarily so) trying to figure this out. What is the most cost effective way to watch: NBA games (specifically Celtics, but I love watching almost any game), Premier League games (Chelsea), Patriots games, and the occasional Sox game (though they're last on...

    Celtics hire Ime Udoka as HC

    Definitely in agreement regarding your first point (not quoted). Regarding the bolded, are you simply asking a question, is it rhetorical, or are you implying that is what DS is? We relied on score first PGs the past few years because we didn't quite have the scorers we now have in Tatum and...

    Celtics hire Ime Udoka as HC

    Do the Celtics really want Tatum penetrating as a lead guard? At best, his handle is... loose. I know many of you seem to think he needs to work on his shot taking decision making, but I actually think he takes many of his mid range shots because he can't get to his spots regularly if he's not...

    Sons of Peter McNeeley- Boxing Thread

    Marciano already covered it, but a bigger man is simply able to withstand larger forces than a smaller man can throw at him. Otherwise there would be no, or less, weight classes. Fat around the midsection, I would imagine, definitely "protects" organs in this case (hopefully no doctor is able to...

    Sons of Peter McNeeley- Boxing Thread

    I don't want to speak for ElUno, but nowhere does he discredit Fury's skills or boxing. With that big a size difference, it just doesn't matter how good or well-trained Wilder is, he simply is never going to beat a man of that size who also has ability. Fury ate shots that would send most grown...

    Home Security Camera & Automation Tech

    Hello, I own a small business - a class-based microgym. In a few months I will be moving to a new facility that's about 2,500ft2. When I move, I want to offer 24/7 access to members who choose to upgrade to that feature. This is kind of a lot to ask in here, and I still think I haven't quite...

    Password management software

    I don't have much in the way of a suggestion, but more of a question piggybacking off yours. Does anyone use Google Password Manager and might be able to explain its use? I have everything Google ecosystem - Android, email, business email, etc - so it makes sense for me, and it is pretty...

    Apple Watch Recommendations

    I know you acknowledged this in your opening sentence, but if the OP was looking at an Apple Watch, I don't think Whoop would be a functional alternative for their use case. Whoop does recovery well, but very little else. Polar watches perhaps might do well as a fitness tracker watch, and they...

    Tristan Thompson to Boston: 2 years, $19M, player option to re-up with Khloé Kardashian

    I agree with the gist of your post, but on what planet is Daniel Theis more experienced than Tristan Thompson? Quick look shows Tristan has something like 4 times as many starts in the playoffs (in MUCH higher leverage games/situations) and maybe double the amount of games appeared in. Oh, and...

    Chelsea 20-21: Plastic Fans and Shiny New Toys

    I'd be a little surprised if Jorginho is in the starting 11. Not that it's ever been his game, but he doesn't seem to be able to keep pace on his defensive responsibilities. Too bad, his vision and passing imagination is beautiful. I'd rather see something like: Werner...
