    3/11 - Peeke Performance

    After stellar rooting from new additions Pat Maroon and Andrew Peeke guiding us to victory, presumably we will see them rooting the team on again tonight (Monty apparently keeping the same lines as last game, so maybe they debut in black & gold later this week?). The Blues are reeling--three...

    3/9 - What a Maroon

    So, the Bruins made a trade and acquired Andrew Peeke and noted Jack Edwards bullying victim Patrick Maroon. Does this improve our chances today? Maybe. But whether it does or doesn’t, this is the kind of game we need to win: the Pens come in at a decidedly “meh” 28-25-8 record, and with them...

    3/7 - All Dressed Chips > Maple Leafs

    For inexplicable reasons, you can only get all-dressed potato chips in Canada. This is a shame, because they are the greatest potato chip, and I don't mean greatest in a way that a handful of Americans pretend The Tragically Hip made good music, but legitimately the finest option among many...

    3/4: Adventures in T-dizzot O-dizzot

    Canada isn't exactly known for its hip hop artists. Sure, Torontonians like Drake and The Weeknd are major international stars, and Toronto's Maestro Fresh-Wes was the first Canadian rapper to break into the US Billboard charts, but that wasn't until 1989. It took another nine years for Canada...

    The Don Mattingly of Foxboro

    This exchange in the Apple TV Dynasty thread had me thinking about the Patriots we will always lament not getting a championship. If you ask most Yankees fans who they would have wanted most to get one ring, I have to believe they'd answer with Don Mattingly. If you had asked me prior to this...

    Berj Najarian Leaving Team

    Not sure whether this was his decision, Mayo’s, or Kraft’s, but Berj Najarian is apparently out per his Insta: At Belichick’s final presser with Kraft, he highlighted Berj and scouting administration director Nancy Meier as those who had been with him "since Day 1." Not sure what Meier’s...

    1/8 - Indy 2: Electric Boogaloo

    Game two of what is going to be an insane stretch, with seven games over twelve days including a tough Minnesota/Milwaukee B2B. After a brutal third quarter, C's pulled out the win on Saturday. The story was largely the absurd load that Jaylen carried in the 3rd, playing the entire quarter, and...

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

    Fun game last night. Almost as good as the blowout was the amount of rest we were able to give our starters—no one on the Celtics played more than 27 minutes last night, and we got the Horford load management done on the front end of a B2B. With no one else on the injury report, we can expect a...

    Slater's Sunset: An Appreciation

    While it will get most of the attention on Sunday, I remain skeptical (though not dismissive of the idea) that this is going to be Belichick's last in Foxboro. But I do think that this is likely Matthew Slater's final game in the NFL. With the possible exception of Mosi Tatupu (who played much...

    1/5 - There is No Jazz in Utah

    Here in Washington, we have a recently renamed football team, a less recently renamed basketball team, and a fairly recently renamed baseball team (after its move from Montreal). All of those names suck and suck badly, but at least they're not stupid. Cardinals aren't unique to St. Louis, so...

    Rhamondre Stevenson: High Ankle Sprain. Best Possible Outcome?

    View: https://twitter.com/MikeReiss/status/1732051004814667880 The way I look at it, it's not a tear and it's not a broken bone. He's almost certainly out through week 15, so they might as well just sit him the rest of the year. He heals, one less option to hurt our draft order, no further...

    The NHL's Falling Viewership

    Austin Karp has a piece in this week's Sports Business Journal about the 22% drop in ESPN and TNT's viewership numbers. Part of that can be explained by doubling the number of games they carry--more games means fewer will be marquee matchups thereby reducing the average viewership...but only...

    1/26 - Small Knick Energy at the Garden

    Florida is America's wang, and nothing could be better to wash the taste of that meth paradise out than a trip home, and who better to welcome to the Garden than the perpetually mediocre Knicks. Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson are quality ballplayers, but they're basically a poor man's version...

    They Deserved a Second Ring

    Even accounting for homer-tinted glasses, it's hard not to see both the Bruins and Celtics as favorites to win their respective sports' championships this year. Obviously, a lot has to go right for this to happen, but no one would look askew at anyone who laid down a bet right now for the B's to...

    12-2 C's Cleanse the Palate of Patriots

    My God, last night's Pats game sucked. And judging by my headache and large bag of empties this morning, it probably sucked even worse than I remember. You know what would help put that game out of our minds? Another Celtics win on the parquet against the Heat. With Butler coming back tonight...

    11/30 - Heated Garden

    Sure the Hornets were without Ball, Hayward, and Rozier, but it was still fun to kick the snot out of them anyway. Tomorrow night the Heat come to town for two games, at least the first of which we expect Jimmy Butler to miss with a bum ankle. Al and Jaylen, both out last night, are listed as...

    11/28 - Getting Horny at the Garden

    No Tatum was indeed no problem last night as the C’s cruised to victory over the Wiz. We’ll see if we get him tonight against a woeful Hornets squad that has our old friend Terry Rozier, our old nemesis Kelly Oubre (2017 recipient of the lovely “Fuck You Oubre” chant from the Garden crowd), but...

    11/27 - No Tatum? No Problem.

    Well, I didn’t want to settle in on Saturday night to this news: View: http://twitter.com/celtics/status/1596620176669446146 By virtue of being in the unusual position of holding a winning record, the Wizards do not yet suck as bad as they typically do, so there’s a decent chance JT will be...
