    YOU be the DOPS - modern suspensions for historic hits

    The Puck Soup guys did a Patreon episode in which they assigned modern-day suspensions to hits from the past - stuff from the 80s into the early aughts. It's interesting to think about how much the game has changed in past twenty or thirty years. Since this is B's board, I'll suggest this 1987...

    November NHL news

    I'm far from the most knowledgeable hockey guy in here, but I do know this - I love a good jersey. The "Reverse Retro" designs for all 31 teams have been released. EDIT: Some of this is being discussed in the "Bruins Offseason Roster" thread. But I guess new threads are good - and we're 19...

    Changing a username?

    So yeah. How can I change my username? I seem to remember reading that the ability to change one's SoSH handle is auctioned off for charity every once in a while? Any info about how I can go about ditching the IHateDaveKerpen handle would be much appreciated. Don't get me wrong - I still...

    NBC Sports: MLB considering expansion, radical realignment...

    This article went live six hours ago. There's quite a bit to digest in here... The league looks to be expanding to 32 teams. Portland and Montreal appear to be the favorites for new franchises. The American and National leagues will be done away with entirely and replaced by four, eight-team...

    Victory Journal's "The Best Last Plane Ride Ever"

    Not sure if this is the best place to share this, but whatever - Victory Journal recently uploaded The Best Last Best Plane Ride Ever - an animated look at the 1986 Mets. The short was directed by James Blagden, the same guy who did the excellent Dock Ellis & the LSD No-No. EDIT: Title of the...

    WHDH going independent in 2017

    How will this development affect sportscasting in the Boston market? Will NBC's new affiliate attempt to lure Joe Amorosino away from WHDH? I'm honestly pretty unfamiliar with his work - he was on TV when I last lived in Boston, but I can't recall much about him at all. I'm curious as to how...

    Patrick O'Sullivan for the Player's Tribune

    I thought O'Sullivan's article about the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father was worth a share. I didn't play hockey growing up, but I heard loads of stories about awful hockey parents from my friends who did. For whatever reason, they sound like they're in their own league when it...

    A Warning Track for the Rink?

    Thoughts?   It seems like a great idea, but I think the game might be too fast for such an addition to make a big difference.  It can't hurt, though.

    Coaching tennis at the high school level

    I've got an interview coming up at a really great school.  I'm a Social Studies teacher in Texas, which means I pretty much HAVE to coach.  Though I'd feel more comfortable coaching cross country/track, swimming or soccer, it looks like I'll be interviewing for an assistant coach position for...

    Sad Rich Hill news

    Some sad news involving Hill and his family.   Nothing much I can add to that.  I can't fathom the pain he's likely feeling.

    Sox sign Shunsuke Watanabe to minor league deal...

    Per Osaki Makkura's Twitter feed: 37 year old former #chibalotte submariner Shunsuke Watanabe will sign a minor league contract with #RedSox.   A submariner.  Interesting.   Edit: Oh yeah.  I remember this guy from the WBC.  Duh.
