    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...

    Hot and Not Hot Cs Takes...Will They Age Well?

    Having thought a lot about this Cs team before the season started and watched that gutty, if not somewhat ugly, win over the pesky Knicks, I offer the following thoughts. I'm both interested in how others perceive them and how they will age as the season progresses. 1. Guard Defense. With...

    Week 5: Saints at Pats

    If the Pats want to have any kind of a season, they need to win this one. I tend to think they will but the Vegas spread (Pats -1) correctly reflects that it's a bit of a toss up. Go Pats. Don't suck.

    Embarrassment of Riches Pats Fan Question: Your Favorite Pats SB?

    While watching the Turning Point Seattle SB while working out this morning, I asked myself if that game was my favorite. And I answered affirmatively to myself. In a way, it's a surprising answer. The Falcons game comeback is The Comeback for the Ages. I was there. The ending was sooooo...

    Astros-Sox - 8/29

    Well we need a game thread. Time to turn this around. Bello, the Sox only viable starter, faces off against France. Bomb France!!

    JWH and Bloom in Light of Mookie's Comments

    If you believe Mookie Betts, the narrative that Mookie was itching to leave Boston and was never offered $300 mm was false and very likely something that the Sox put out there to mollify fans and justify the trade...

    Bs Playoff Roster, Usage

    The Bruins have the ultimate high class problem heading into these playoffs, especially on defense: More worthy players than slots. I think the forwards look like the below (assuming everyone can go). That's obviously a big assumption and Foligno may not be ready...

    3/17 Celts at Portland...and hopefully, 3/18 Celtics at Utah

    Winning is better than losing. Especially given that the Cs are 2.5 down from the Bucks and only 1 ahead of the Sixers. And the fact that they barely eeked out a win over a weak Timberwolves squad on Wednesday. Win this one. And if so, this is going to be the thread for the Utah game on...

    3/15 Celts at Minny

    Mazzulla: Interim or Permanent...and When?

    The Celtics start under Joe Mazzulla has been impressive on many levels. They've gone 8-3 without arguably their third best player, the Time Lord, who is due back in a few weeks. And the ranking is not important, Robert Williams undoubtedly adds a dimension that they currently lack. And...

    In Chaim Do You Trust?

    The World Series is going to end soon, which means that the Red Sox and Chaim Bloom are going to have to make a lot of decisions that will substantially impact the future of the franchise. Alex Speier outlines many of them here...

    Borrowing Trouble....What happens to YOU If Bogaerts and Devers Go the Way of Mookie?

    We'll never know exactly what happened with Betts. He says now he would have signed an equivalent deal to stay with the Red Sox but one was not offered. From Gasper this morning...

    Confessions of a Confused Brady Follower

    When Tom was on the Pats, I was as big of a Brady fan as anyone I knew. Really from the very beginning. I was so relieved when Bill made him the starter for the rest of the season in 2001. I would have been ripshit if Bledsoe had started SB 36. I wore a Brady Adidas jersey from that season...

    2020 Pats: WRs and TEs...Enough?

    During the latter phases of the 2019 season, there was a lot of discussion about Tom Brady and his demeanor. And about whether his skills had eroded at all. Having gone to the Miami debacle in Foxboro, where I could get a good look at the entire field as contrasted with what the TV cameras...

    Pastrnak: Place Among Bruins Snipers?

    There's a long way to go in the current Bruins season, including the playoffs. But as of now, the All Star MVP leads the league in goals and is fourth in points. http://www.espn.com/nhl/statistics We'll see how things shake out this year but regardless, it occurs to me that David Pastrnak is...

    2020 Pats Off-Season: Coaching Staff & Front Office Discussion

    Why exactly do we want Nick Caserio back? So this question may look, and even be, quite reactionary. The timing certainly makes it appear to be so. But we know that the Patriots' drafting has been subpar at times. There are numerous easy and recent examples. One can look at the WRs taken...
