    Potential new NFL rules

    How about, instead of tackling, the offensive player wears a scarf that can be pulled by the defensive player. The offensive player is deemed tackled when the scarf is removed. We could even change the name of the sport to Scarf Football.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Thanks for this. I was preparing a post in my head saying pretty much the same thing and wondering if AI could start predicting pitchers with possible injury red flags, before signing them. You said it all much better than I would have. Over the length of a contract, I would think that #2...

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    I'm with you on this. I would love for the Pats to try to trade up to take Williams. However, now that Fields is gone it seems very unlikely that Chicago will trade the 1st. There was speculation a while ago that Williams did not want to go to Chicago and was considering opting out of this years...

    Arthur D’Angelo - RIP

    I had the pleasure of having various telephone conversations with him when we were doing some work at the store around 25 years ago. I've dealt with probably 30,000-40,000 clients over the years, and he is right there at the top, among my all time favorite clients. He was a gentleman to me, but...

    Cam Newton vs. 3 dudes

    Was my first thought also. Not only are they trying to beat up an NFL freak, but he happens to also be a witch that can throw a spell on them.

    Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

    He has to make a decision soon. I’ve got my Tiger Woods fist pump ready to go and I’m not sure how long I can keep this pose.

    2023 Jets: Hello Darkness Retreat, My Old Friend

    If he feels the need to go dark, he can always use the Jets Trophy Room.

    2023 Pats: Offseason

    This is my thinking too. I don't have anything to back it up, just a hunch. I've always thought that there was a handshake agreement last year that BOB would be the OC this year and therefore BB couldn't hire a true OC last year. He then had to take an unorthodox route to the offensive coaching...

    Pats OTA Notes & Discussion

    I agree that there may be some people confusing this years OTA's with last years training camp. I admit to being one of them. After the first couple of days of this year's OTA's, I was thinking that it was refreshing to hear some good things, rather than the negativity from last year. It did...

    2023 QB Carousel

    Is it possible that teams are now valuing backup QB’s higher now due to the concussion rules/protocols? Maybe having a higher level backup that can step in and run an offense for 1-2 games and give the team a chance to win has become relatively important.

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    @JimBoSox9 - how's that going? You got the stop you begged for. Have you lived up to your end of the bargain? ;) At least he didn't offer his left nut! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUJ-8R4ghXU

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    I didn't realize it either. Even watching full speed replays, I still have a hard time seeing it. It's like watching a hockey game on a small TV. You don't know there has been a goal scored until you see the players raising their arms.

    The OC Search

    BB playing the long game better than anyone.

    2023 NFL Coaching Carousel

    Perhaps he doesn't want to have to fire the people he wants out. Publicly tell everyone they can leave, but maybe privately tell the ones he wants to stay that he really wants them to stay. Even if I'm right, which I don't really think I am, it would be a damn sight easier to fire the people he...

    Mayo Extension Close

    It may also make sense for them to interview other candidates, as part of the Rooney rule, for future consideration. They not only provide the minority candidate with valuable interview experience, but also get an idea of who is out there for future openings. It wouldn't be out of the realm of...
