    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I know, right? 1. They desperately need a franchise QB. 2. There are several top shelf QB prospects in this year’s draft. 3. The Patriots pick third which means that - for the first time since Drew Bledsoe - they have a chance to draft a top tier QB prospect with a high pick. Their need...

    4/18 vs Guardians

    Yep 2 earned runs and just 10 baserunners and it’s an L. The defense just kills this team.

    That's really interesting. Usually when a player enters the portal, the HC of that team is like, ok, if you enter the portal, consider yourself gone. Because the coach needs to fill that spot and often times (not always, but often) there is discontentment between player and coach. You don't...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    You could easily put together a UConn-only US Olympic team that would demolish the rest of the world: G - Moriah Jefferson, Sue Bird, Crystal Dangerfield, Diana Taurasi F - Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, Katie Lou Samuelson, Azura Stevens, Evina Westbrook C - Stefanie Dolson, Tina Charles...

    Watching Olsen the past couple of years....she's really good. And if you look at Iowa's history.. they've been tremendous even without Clark. Yes, obviously better with Clark, but still really good without her. Bluder is outstanding.

    Yep, I can see that. I wonder how popular Wilson is around the country though. Also...Wilson did get a shoe deal last year. https://www.si.com/fannation/sneakers/news/aja-wilsons-new-nike-shoes-drop-ahead-of-wnba-season

    I didn't know that about all those with shoe deals being white. I'd argue that Stewart is better than Wilson, but YMMV. But Clark SHOULD get a shoe deal. She's the most popular player in the history of women's basketball.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Clark's presence is going to boost A'ja's salary as well. It's like other golfers being upset at Tiger's endorsements and popularity - "hey, we've been winning majors long before this kid came on the scene". Yeah, but when this kid came on the scene, he positively impacted everyone's wallet and...

    Just saw the whole interaction and yeah it was super weird and awkward and uncomfortable at best. I liked his apology and think it was probably in earnest. It does raise an interesting issue though - we want to treat men and women the same, and yet...we don't want to treat men and women the...

    If you were a ballplayer...

    For a time I was a good catcher with very good came-calling ability and a solid arm. Was never much more than a semi-decent contact hitter with zero power. Decent baserunner. I'd never ever have played beyond high school though. But catching was so much fun. I loved being in the center of all...

    Another good post, so thank you. And yes, you read my intent correctly. I'm just trying to hold the view that it's not sexism or racism - it's just economics.

    Thanks for the long, outstanding post. I'm just going to reply now to this: NBA seasons and NHL seasons are essentially equivalent in length. Same number of regular season games. Basically the same playoff structure. Time frames almost identical. NHL rookie salary: $950k max NBA rookie...
