    Might as well get the Lucic trade thread going -- to Kings for 13/Jones/Miller

    Lucic to Kings before the Manchester Monarchs pack up and head west? Keep a local player or two?

    Don Zimmer has passed away at age 83

    Seriously, let's take a few minutes and give the man some respect. A real baseball character.

    Don Zimmer has passed away at age 83

    How many ways has Zim been a part of Sox history? Good, bad, or otherwise, depending on your perspective at the time?

    Sox Sign Sizemore

    FWIW, I remember Gammons likening Pedrioa to Sizemore in that they were both sparkplug types who would energize their team mates through the dog days of summer. Ok, that 's good to know.

    Sox Sign Sizemore

    Because it isn't relevant, interesting, or funny? EDIT--back on topic, I love this signing. Really, what's not to love? Pardon my snarkiness, (yeah, I know that may not even be a word) but isn't that part of this forum ? Back on topic: I remember Sizemore being a hot property a few years...

    Grady. I'm surprised no one has made the Little vs. Sizemore comment yet.

    Hot Stove Rumors 2014, Part Deux

    I suppose John Lackey's 2112 season qualifies. He was listening to too much Rush.

    Can't stand Kaepernick. Don't know why, not a big fan of Rodgers either, just don't like the guy.

    Rookie hazing & bullying: Miami guard Incognito indefinitely suspended

    The sad thing is, when we look back on this in a year, 2 years, 5-10 years, whose name will we remember? Martin? Probably not. Incognito? Isn't that ironic?

    Rookie hazing & bullying: Miami guard Incognito indefinitely suspended

    I'm sure this is a part of it, but the bigger part of it has to do with valuing membership to the group. People have a psychological need for consistency in thought and behavior. In the case of hazing, the logic proceeds like this: The only way I would put up with this horrible treatment is...

    No more Pat Patriot uniforms?/Helmet Thread

    Just to clarify, I am on no way saying that player safety is not on the forefront of the conversation, just that the graphics on the helmet should not, I hope, affect the performance of the helmet. Are "throwback helmets" really old helmets?

    No more Pat Patriot uniforms?/Helmet Thread

    No, they don't have a dozen custom molded helmets to change into. Player safety is a real issue if you haven't noticed by all the former players who are crippled or blowing their brains out. As Cris Carter would say, "c'mon man." This only speaks to my point. With all the information coming...

    No more Pat Patriot uniforms?/Helmet Thread

    Does anyone else think this "player safety" thing is a red herring? Are you telling me that, after a helmet to helmet hit, Tom (or Peyton, Eli, RGIII, Luck) doesn't have at least a dozen custom molded helmets to change into? Maybe the league, in it's desire to protect the QB, not only in terms...
