    Patriots in Vegas - Week 6, October 15, 2023

    I was so looking forward to visiting Allegiant Stadium when the Pats traveled out west last year but a family obligation scrapped those plans.....but how lucky are we to get a do-over the following season? Booked flight today and checking out hotel offers later. Didn't know if any SoSHers went...

    RIP Rocco

    I was hoping someone else shared this news bc doing so really sucks. I was made aware earlier today that longtime SoSH member and Port Cellar contributor Rocco Graziosa (Scott to many of us) passed away last night. As many of you know, Rocco was an enormous part of this community and in...

    Silver Dollar - The Official NBA Betting Thread!

    It’s that glorious time if the year again as we open up the new NBA betting thread! “Silver Dollar” can be a placeholder until someone comes up with a more creative name. Made one futures play this week to start the year but I see many more in the coming weeks. I’m surprised we haven’t seen...

    2022-23 CFB Upset Alert Weekly Pick ‘Em Thread

    Each week I’m going to post my 5 best “Upset Alerts” with point spread & money line listed in order of goodness. It’s college football with plenty of dogs barking so I’m going to try avoiding any team under a TD ‘dog while trying to keep them all double digits to get some juicy ML payouts. It’s...

    Number of ‘21-22 Opening Night holdovers from last year.

    Any new GM is going to want to put their stamp on the new roster and in this case I feel Brad would want to even more than a typical new GM. I really feel like he disliked coaching this team last year. They were inconsistent with energy, have many no-shows, and simply did not play with an...

    Anthony Davis: No Loyalty

    Is this a nothingburger to you guys? How much momentum will trade talks get should the Pelicans get off to an 8-13 start with 12 of their first 21 on the road? Based on LeBron's history of bringing along veterans with him I do not expect the Lakers to retain their youth past this first season...

    Celtics sign PJ Dozier to a two-way contract

    Ex-HRB binky PJ Dozier has signed a two-way deal with the Celtics. Loved this kid coming out of South Carolina as a tall-2 value play who had some filling out to do (6-6, 195) and needing to develop a 3-point shot. Played 2 years of college, improved his 3-point shooting from 21% as a FR (1.4...

    Setting the Odds

    My opinion is mine which can be debated........however there are facts in regards to the oddsmakers in play which cannot be debated. The line that oddsmakers place on an event have literally zero to do with who they feel will win or who they expect to win. The line is made to create equal...

    Hip Hop - The Isaiah Injury Thread

    From Brad's mouth 4 days ago....... “He has his follow-up appointment here in a couple of weeks to determine next course of action. And nothing’s determined after that,” said Stevens. “He hasn’t done a lot, physically, and will be off his feet until that next appointment, or won’t be doing any...

    The 2018 NBA Draft

    It isn't too early to take a look at the '18 draft class which is loaded at the Top 3 spots depending how you feel about Michael Porter. DeAndre Ayton appears to be a legit stud big prospect while anyone who has yet to see a Real Madrid game really needs to check them out. There hasn't been a...
