    Game 7: Bruins @ Carolina - SWAY is the Way

    NFL Reporter John Clayton has died at 67

    Longtime ESPN and NFL reporter John Clayton has passed away per ESPN. His ESPN “Slayer” commercial is a classic (Schefter posted). His battles with dipshit Sean Salisbury were always a great watch. Total football geek, I always enjoyed him. RIP View: https://youtu.be/XvXRaSvxmqg

    Sam Jones Has Passed Away

    Celtics legend and 10-time NBA champion Sam Jones has passed away at the age of 88. Known as one of the great shooters of his time (46% FG, 80% FT), he was a 5-time All-Star. He was drafted by Red in 1957 out of an HBCU, North Carolina Central (I would imagine this was rare in those days)...

    2 Pats-Bucs Tickets: Nominate a Deserving Soul

    As a Pats season ticket holder from 3,000 miles away, I usually give/sell my tickets to friends or family. I wanted to do something cool for the TB12 game but have struggled to come up with something (aside from giving it to one of my knucklehead buddies). I thought a neat idea would be to...

    So can SoSH talk about Deflategate again?

    Bob Kravitz just published an article on The Athletic where he begins to own that Deflategate was a sham. The catalyst is a documentary that is coming out by Julie Marron called "Four Games in Fall". She basically eviscerates the NFL and Roger Goodell -- who shamelessly declined to be...

    The Elam Ending — No More Fouls!

    I have posted on here before about my two buddies who started “The Basketball Tournament” which is an amateur tournament that combines fantasy, social media, and real basketball — with the winning team this year getting $2,000,000 in cash. I recently attended the quarterfinals over at Cal...

    Was Manny The Best Contract Ever . . . . ?

    Looking at this list -- it is amazing to think that the 8 year, $160,000,000 deal that Duquette signed in 2001 was one of the best contracts of the last 20 years. There certainly can arguments made that the first A-Rod contract was better on a relative value standpoint, but that came with the...

    Who do you read on Sundays?

    I have been lamenting lately how much I miss my Sunday morning tradition of grabbing the Boston Globe and Boston Herald and just spending 2-3 hours reading the sports pages. My childhood of Gammons, McDonough, May, Ryan, Fitzgerald, etc. spoiled me, and both papers sports pages have gone to...

    Should MLB Ban Smokeless Tobacco?

    The Tony Gwynn story has ignited the conversation of whether or not smokeless tobacco should be banned by MLB. Although its usage has declined significantly over the years, there is still certainly a sub-culture of chew throughout all levels of baseball. The arguments for banning it include...

    So, one of my best friends and another buddy have developed "The Basketball Tournament", which Zach Lowe just wrote about today on Grantland: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/welcome-to-the-basketball-tournament/ They've been working on it for 3 years and have launched the official website...
