    Round 2 rest of the east

    Intent to injure is a major penalty. Of course, whether they would actually call it or not is another question.

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    Guys aren't numbers 1s until they are. Diggs' Vikings numbers are comparable to Aiyuk in SF. Iirc Aiyuk has some elite analytics. I would be absolutely stoked if he was the Pats #1 for the foreseeable future.

    ECQF Game 3: 4/24/24 @ Tarranna

    All 3 goals scored on Swayman have been of the impossible to save variety - the rebound in game 1, then the Knies tip and ricochet off Lindholm tonight. He has been outstanding.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Marchand will never score again.

    Agreed. She has hit some huge shots when it looked like Iowa had no offense beyond Clark.

    Reese has not been the same since she got hurt. Feels like Clark has to score or assist every bucket for Iowa from here on out for them to win... But she might be able to do it. Flau'jae Johnson has been outstanding.

    End of an Era: Bill Belichick and Patriots to part ways

    It is a sad day, even if this ends up being the right move. Thanks to BB for all the joy and wins over the years. I hope he continues to achieve the outstanding success he had throughout his time in New England.

    Jerome Bettis is still salty

    That run wasn't even a counter, was it?

    Week 2 NFL Game Thread

    Dean Blandino: “Because the goal line is involved — and this is a consistent application of the impetus rule,” Blandino said. “Impetus is the force that puts the ball into an end zone. So if a team provides the impetus that puts a ball into their opponent’s end zone . . . then they are...

    Patrice Bergeron Retires

    I almost included something to the effect that Bergeron is likely better than Ovechkin in my post, but I don't have the chops or the time to back up the argument that Bergeron is a better hockey player than the NHL's future all time leading goal scorer, even though I agree with it.

    Patrice Bergeron Retires

    I suspect legend of Bergeron's greatness will only grow with time as people come to appreciate that preventing goals can be as important as scoring them, and Bergeron was the best forward in his generation at it (maybe ever). There was some Twitter back and forth over the weekend about whether...

    Bruins Offseason

    I guess it would be cap circumvention to guarantee Swayman a slightly above-market deal next year when the Bruins have space in exchange for a lower number this year when they are feeling the crunch. It would be a shame for the Bruins to go through the arbitration process with Swayman when...

    Global Football Odds & Ends

    I think you're underestimating how much more $1.8B is than $600M. And I don't want to sound flippant, but $600M is not really "easy life" generational wealth for an entire family. It's a lot but who knows how economies will change; maybe there's a spaceship that will take you off-planet to live...

    Peacock to exclusively stream a playoff game

    Peacock was $.99/mo for 12 months on Black Friday last year. It may not be cheap again next year given this news, but I have found it to be great value.

    Offseason game thread- shed your salty tears

    Marchand even had a chance to finish the Panthers before they even got to OT of Game 5. Ugh. 2019 was worse, though, and I'm still not over it. I may never be. I think 2019 was the point after which my emotional investment in sports will never be the same.
