    Divisional Round Weekend

    This isn't the players or teams' fault, though. This is the NFL and the five or six networks they have separate money dollars deals with to air games, and the obvious priorities for "number goes up" ratings and income. The "fiasco" with only airing the KC/Miami game on Peacock - a gambit to...

    Divisional Round Weekend

    Reading some Pats fans on SoSH high on 20 years of an all-universe, unicorn run of individual and team dominance go hoarse rooting for Miami, Buffalo, and the Ravens in three consecutive weeks is amazing to watch. It's also a through the looking glass glimpse of how everyone else in American...

    UPDATED: SI builds a wall ... now wall crumbles

    Thoughts and prayers to anonymous "keep politics out of my sports" reply guys everywhere, who may be learning that this truism isn't true for the very first time.

    Mayo is the New Coach

    This should be pinned to the top of this thread ;)

    End of an Era: Bill Belichick and Patriots to part ways

    Will probably never happen because of Mystique and Aura - least of all while Goodell is still drawing breath - but I always thought they should consider renaming the Lombardi Trophy after the coach who is the GOAT for generations of fans.

    Wander Franco Is In Trouble (Grooming/Pedo Warning)

    Ask Dogman or Nip. I linked a friendly reminder that Aaron Rodgers is not too big on vaccination in the Jets thread (the "I'm immunized" incident, which he uttered during the season at an NFL press conference) and got a two-day time out for it. If there's consistency, I don't see it. And no, I...

    Wander Franco Is In Trouble (Grooming/Pedo Warning)

    Shouldn't this be in V&N? It's hard to work out the mods' strike zone but "zero tolerance keep non-sports stuff out of sports (unless it's Ben Rapistburger references)" seems to be sorta kinda of how it works. Or does each sport's forum (NFL vs. MLB etc) have different house rules and edge cases?

    Beat The Clock

    I like the back hand "wait" gesture Machado busts out at 7.5 seconds (that Derek Jeter perfected). It's fun to think about batters from previous generations that would have been challenged by the pitch clock rules. Mike Hargrove is probably the GOAT on that list.

    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    I got queasy when I heard about the Curtis incident that this thread would have the same energy. Thankfully, it wasn't that many "I've never heard of [X, Y, or Z Asian slurs] before" posts.

    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    Maybe this is his 3D chess move to get a job with Barstool, where this kind of stuff is celebrated and revered and in their bylaws.

    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    A lot of you didn't 1) watch All in the Family nor 2) grow up half-Asian in New England in the 70's-80's, and it shows :) The beauty of being an off-the-rack shrugging racist, and especially one that is anti-Asian, is that one is can deploy a range of ethnic slurs because these same...

    2023 Yankees Spring Training News & Notes

    "31 years" is a pivot from "26 27 rings" since it's been a few. :) In all seriousness, it's been wild and impressive to see Brian Cashman as steady-Eddie for all but five of those winning seasons.

    Beat The Clock

    Watching some ST games and I have to say that the pitch clock has to be the frontrunner & favorite for MVP :)

    John Madden has passed away

    Hollywood's not only been unshy about putting actors in fat suits and makeup, they've doubled down recently on the practice. And Robert DeNiro, Christian Bale, and others have famously put on and taken off weight for a role.

    John Madden has passed away

    They could Irishman it and do aging CGI for various stages with an actor too. I think that's probably cost prohibitive and it's also pretty creepy. I think Seth Rogan could pull it off, and he's in the right age range now to reach down and up on the different phases of Madden's life.

    What does 2023 look like?

    Most park experience at Yankee Stadium is really chintzy. The "aaaaaOOOOOOOOga" submarine crash alert when an opposing batter is at two strikes is especially epileptic, with the Diamondvision and every available banner light board in the stadium flashing clipart graphics. And I don't know if...

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    I hope the Pats can start another 20 year run of unprecedented success with a few dynasties sprinkled in soon, so future post-season Lombardi threads don't read like R&D/outtakes from TheGangGreen or Charlie's conspiracy board from Always Sunny. "I don't have a dog in this fight" based on the...

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    PHI also looked totally unprepared for those two short-and-goal 2nd half touchdowns where a receiver (Toney, Moore) started in motion for a few steps then reversed course at the snap, stood there waiting wide open, and waltzed into the end zone. In both cases a Philly defender bit hard, stopped...

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    I hope they litigate the "QB sneak scrum with three guys pushing him" out of existence in the off-season. Game wouldn't have been half as close if Philly didn't have that as their 2nd best call in the playbook.
