    BC Hoops 2023-2024

    Football drives the decision making because the money it makes funds all those other sports that nobody cares about (royal nobody, yes I know some people do).

    BC Hoops 2023-2024

    But it is football that is driving the bus. Evidence: Every school that has moved conferences in the last 20 years (including BC).

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    I’m also against the blanket shitting on Guerrero for his past misdeeds. No idea if his methods worked better than others but the guys he trained thought they did and it translated to results on the field. Yeah he probably had some stupid aspects but it’s hard to argue that Brady and Gronk and...

    Macksonville: Mac Traded to Jaguars

    Just like with Timmy Thomas. Signed a guy who still has a Blake Wheeler shirt jersey.

    He coached at Ohio State for 3 years too.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    I have no idea if it was the right or wrong thing but I understand why he did it. He’s running an organization. Brady only cares about himself (not that that’s a bad thing). Who knows if it could’ve been handler better (probably?) but Bill was justified IMO.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    But Guerrero wasn't on the training staff and presumably didn't want to be on the training staff as he probably made more money outside the Patriots than inside. You're also assuming players have an idea of what they need to do to optimize themselves. Some certainly do but when you have a 53 man...

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Because the Nuggets may not make it out of the West. Some teams don't matchup well. They believe Boston does not match well with Denver.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    That you are believe there is completely arbitrary definition of who can discuss topics in an entertaining manner that applies much more broadly than Simmons. As a rule I find that dumb. Hence I’m trying to find out who you believe meets the criteria to have an interesting discussion and not be...

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Said differently then, who can have this discussion in a manner that is not trite, bland or boring then?

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    So who can have the conversation then? Sounds like age is one qualifying factor. Unsure on others.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Simmons has always been a pop culture and sports guy. He has never been or tried to be Lupica or Ryan. That’s literally why he got popular. He filled a lane that didn’t exist 25 years ago that people found and still find entertaining. Lupica and Ryan would never have anything close to this...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Which is why it’s a frustrating doc. There’s nothing interesting outside a rehashing of public narratives. We learn nothing new and the non-agenda driven director just takes answers at face value. I keep coming back to the question of why this was made. The director says he didn’t want to cover...

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    I’m guessing he doesn’t title his pods. They also concluded that the Celtics are favorites but probably not against Denver.

    Yeah you don’t get bonus points for winning nobly. They’re playing within the rules. Good for them.

    Bruins Acquire Pat Maroon

    Which youth is he blocking?

    Bruins Acquire Pat Maroon

    That's where I'm at. There's no real downside. Either he sucks and doesn't play or helps out in a couple games. Sounds like a great locker room guy too.

    Bruins Acquire Pat Maroon

    He’ll be situational or not used at all. Total flier for next to nothing.

    If so that’s horrible asset management.
