    Red Sox sign Danny Kirwin from the Oakland Ballers

    It was released earlier than that, as a “bootleg” record. Of course it later turned out to be a case of the record company screwing over the band. But Live At The Boston Tea Party is seriously one of the great live albums ever recorded. That version of Jumping At Shadows is hauntingly beautiful.

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    Bold prediction, that happens and NE ends up dealing the NYG pick for more picks including the pick that turns into the first pick in the 2026 draft.

    One Draft Hot-Take

    I deliberately make no predictions on that score.

    One Draft Hot-Take

    Minnesota gives up a draft haul to pick Maye at #3 and JJM lasts to #11 for New England. And he makes everyone forget about the Mac Jones era.

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    I don’t think anyone’s comparing their builds and I completely agree with you as regards Daniels as a runner. We just mean that JD’s value is tied up in his running ability and not his passing. But I’ve continuously made the point that he’s a very reckless runner for that build.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I think a bigger issue might be that Daniels (and McCarthy) might just be guys that need a lot of help around them to be effective, whereas a guy like Williams elevates the quality of your receiving corps by himself. A team like the Vikings might be better suited to carry those two guys than a...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I'm with you on this, I've warmed on Maye due to age (there's at least the chance he can outgrow the Favrian tendencies), but I'm still sour on the other two. I can see Daniels RGIIIing his way out of the league. That's where I am, build out the infrastructure to the extent that a Penix type...

    Tatum or Ant?

    Until Boston sent out the reserves to play the last four games, they were 62-16, which would be the same winning percentage. And the Celtics did that without cherry-picking games.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Maye, maybe. Daniels? Well, he’d be QB1 next year. But I’d also make the remark that being QB1 in a class doesn’t make a QB elite. Daniels’s only elite trait is his running/speed. But he runs very recklessly as a very skinny QB who, due to age and frame, is unlikely to ever get big enough to...

    4/16/24 - Sandman v. The Lover of Epstein?

    Signed, Epstein’s Mom.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Except that unless they’re lucky the Pats really don’t. Being the third best in QB in a class doesn’t make a QB elite. Caleb Williams has a good chance to be elite. I’m warming on the thought that Maye might be able to do it. The other two? I just don’t see it. They’re far closer to Jalen Hurts...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I mean if New England were drafting #2, this would be completely reasonable. They're not.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Honestly I’m not a fan of either Daniels or JJM, so if those are the options at #3 I’m hoping that the Patriots make a deal with Minnesota or whoever to acquire a passel of picks.

    Refs gone wild: a place to complain about NBA referees and propose solutions to improving officiating

    Yeah, if last night is the template for playoff reffing you can pencil the Heat in for the title, because they’re the best rugby team in the NBA.

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Yeah, I was going to say, we've already watched Little Rafi turn a routine line drive down the LF line into a triple. He may not be Jarren Duran fast, but he's fast. At the least it guarantees them options as they have the spot stabilized for the length of the deal (I'm going to guess six with...
