    Larry Lucchino dead at 78

    One of my favorite Red Sox books is One Day at Fenway by Steve Kettman. For so many reasons. One of them is that it gives you a glimpse into the personality, confidence and intense desire to win of Lucchino. It also makes it clear that LL was extremely mindful and solicitous of Sox fans. I...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    SMU’s posts were quite sobering. I have a few friends who are huge Pats fans, have analyzed the QBs in terms very similar to him and are praying that the Pats do not take either. I was trying to shut them out of my thought process because I want a QB…and now I’m back to hoping for MHJr! Ugh!

    Dan Shaughnessy: Taking a dump in your mouth one column at a time

    It’s really annoying when Danno writes a hatchet job on the Sox and Pats ownership and I agree with nearly every word.

    Let’s Talk Pasta

    And not the kind with lots of carbs. Does David Pastrnak get the love and attention he deserves? Who knows…it’s impossible to quantify. But I get the sense that he’s on the lower end of the spectrum of Boston players who have accomplished as much as he has in his career thus far and who is as...

    Who starts Week 1 at QB for the Patriots?

    Having listened to Mayo’s press conference this morning, this is my take on who starts and what will happen in the draft, which is very much tired into that question. - the brain trust is understandably focused on the team’s multiple key needs, and seems not to view Maye and Daniels as clearly...

    2023-24 Celtics

    It's not all or nothing and I didn't mean to imply that it was. And yes, they did miss a ton of shots. But the ball was not moving as much as it did earlier and they were not hunting mismatches as much. To me, it's a matter of degree, and it looked familiar to other situations this year when...

    2023-24 Celtics

    That the Cs allowed a run and then were able to hold off the Bucks strikes me as a very positive experience to have had prior to the playoffs. Granted, it would have been better had they continued to play their game and not bogged down with isolations.* And handled the zone better than they...

    Championship Weekend: Chiefs @ Ravens, Lions @ 49ers

    Have Dan Campbell and Grady Little ever been seen in the same place at the same time?

    Let’s talk about our feelings - whose departure impacted you the most?

    Th extent of the sentiment for Bill really surprises me. That’s not a knock of any kind. Tom Brady was the quintessential superstar for me. I felt incredibly privileged to have been able to root for him. I identified with him having been absurdly accused and convicted regarding DeflateGate...

    Just be prepared to wait a while.

    Chaim Bloom hired by St Louis

    Vice President of Paralysis by Analysis. Honestly, this moves astounds me.

    Black Monday watch

    Caserio? The Pats drafts were pretty bad during his years in charge (to the extent he or anyone but Bill was). Yes, the Texans made the playoffs this year but Caserio’s record in NE gives me pause.

    1/6 - Indy? More like Indeez Nuts, amirite?

    Sam Hauser seemingly never makes a shot when it’s a close game. Joe need to sit his ass down.

    12/19 Gore Golden State

    Between leaving an ice cold Sam Hauser in for waaaaaaay too long and not calling a TO at the end of regulation, Joe totally fucked that game. And Curry is a classless punk. What a hideous night in Boston sports. Did Breslow add a career .227 hitter with hidden upside?? That would be the...

    Kyrie is dirty rotten no good and we have schadenfreude…?

    Just when I thought I could not hate Kyrie more... Let's see... Tone deaf Pseudo intellectual Faux deep Arrogant Underperformer in Boston Got a dental procedure (iirc) during a game 7 Broke gratuitous problem (edit: fortuitous typo...meant "promise") to return Team killer Stomped on...

    I don't think it's much of a question.

    The Celtics with Bias

    If I could change one thing in sports -- other than the result of a particular game -- it would be that Len Bias didn't die. Nothing else off the court in sports devastated me more. That blow was meant for Ben Dreith and somehow the wires got crossed.

    Larry Lucchino to sell the Worcester Red Sox to Diamond Baseball Holdings

    Amen. Lucchino was the CEO when the Sox broke through in 2004, and had a hand in hiring Theo and Tito. People can blame him for individual moves and non-moves (which almost certainly assumes a lot of facts that none of us really know), but he was part of what most Boston sports fans view as...

    Week 8 Pats @Fins

    I think that happened this year once in the Pats favor, actually. But usually when a flag is picked up, you can kind of understand why it happened. Here the replay showed why the flag was justified.
