    Matt Araiza Cleared of Gang-Rape at SDSU; Signed by Chiefs

    There was a long period of time when sexual abuse towards women went unreported, unbelieved, and under punished. (Many would argue that there's still much work to be done.) When rectifying an abhorrent situation such as this, the course correction can sometimes be an overcorrection. Believe all...

    Offseason rumors

    Goodness. For that price, I would have loved Anderson being brought into the fold. I'm betting on a strong rebound. Boston could have cross-trained Story at 3B (he's played there before) and shared the DH spot, with plenty of ABs to go around and much-needed depth gained at SS (and Story insurance)

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Full disclosure: I've always been a Chaim Bloom fan and sympathizer. Growing up in the early '80s, I never thought I'd witness a Red Sox team winning a World Series. In my eyes, the majority of Sox fans seem spoiled, and I believe part of that can be attributed to the Patriots' dynasty. What...

    2023 Dolphins: Greatest Show on Surf

    Out for the season: C. Williams, J. Phillips, B. Chubb, J. Baker, A. Van Ginkel, X. Howard, I. Wynn, E. Ezukanma Out for many weeks: T. Armstead, J. Holland, J. Waddle, D. Achane, R. Hunt, R. Jones, R. Cracraft Even a well-constructed roster has its limits. The injuries this season have been...

    Brandon Stephens and Kevin Seitler, also. Those two are significant. Tyreek should eat today.

    Offseason rumors

    I haven't heard Breslow speak on this, but I'd surprised if he's a fan of having an exclusive DH that isn't an Ortiz-caliber hitter. Yoshida's price tag is a bit steep considering this type of role, as well. Chris Taylor is slated to play LF in LA and isn't a plus defender, like Yoshida. Would...

    2023 Dolphins: Greatest Show on Surf

    The positives: Tua's chemistry with Cedric Wilson seems to be improving. He and Chosen might need to step up big today. Cracraft and Berrios have been missing in the passing game for a while ... Ramsey's playing, after a Friday questionable distinction. Holland and AJ's back! The injuries...

    The Newest Vaughn

    I really, really love this deal for the Sox, especially after being disappointed that Sale (and others) were not dealt at last year's deadline. Grissom's an uber-talented, high character player who just didn't have a place to play in Atlanta. While he made some strides at SS this past season...

    2023 Dolphins: Greatest Show on Surf

    The in-season of Hard Knocks has been more enjoyable for me than I expected. Of course, it's still got it has its fair share of fluff, but the program's in-game coverage has been cool to watch. The team's chemistry is palpable; they've been such a fun team to root for this season. I'm 95% with...

    ranking the afc teams 1-16 after 4 weeks

    Let's take a stab at updating these rankings! SB Contenders: 1 MIA (Prediction: Dolphins win out) 2 BAL (Prediction: Baltimore loses to SF/MIA) 3 BUF 4 CLE Darkhorse Candidate: 5 KC (Dropped KC from 3 to 5 (taking CLE's place) after watching their 1st half vs. the Raiders) Playoffs =...

    2023 Dolphins: Greatest Show on Surf

    Huge win, for sure; and a much-needed step up in the organization's ascension. This team's tough and resilient. To win 11 games this year -- including one against what may be a top 3 NFC team -- without 4 of your original starting OL, Jaelan Phillips, Jerome Baker, Jevon Holland, Emmanuel...

    Offseason rumors

    I'll just add a few things to the current discussion: 1) It's taken only 1 year, and that Xander contract already looks incredibly stupid. It's only going to get worse. 2) Soto spent the past 2 seasons as part of more talented team and didn't sniff the World Series. While he could have a...

    2023 Dolphins: Greatest Show on Surf

    I had a couple of a friends attend this game in Germany, and they reported that the Chiefs/Dolphins fan ratio was likely 80/20, if not worse. This contributed to very loud conditions, which for Miami's timing-based offense, has been a difficulty on the road, in similar conditions. We've seen...

    2023 Dolphins: Greatest Show on Surf

    It just so happens that all of Miami's toughest contests (Buf, Philly, KC) have taken place away from home. Any of those would have served as incredibly impressive wins. The game vs. Dallas, however, is in Miami. A loss here justifies the "can't beat tough teams" narrative. Assuming they take...

    Week 13

    Playing the starting 5 at OL for a full game would help. Armstead (no shock) and Hunt barely made it a half. And starting LB Jerome Baker possibly out for the season after losing Phillips. This team feels like a fantasy baseball roster built around deGrom, Trout, and Buxton.

    Week 11

    Haha, I'm expecting them to blow out the Raiders. And looking forward, when Miami takes on the Cowboys, we'll all be reminded of just how different it is to face a very good team at home, as opposed to on the road. I'm looking forward to seeing how Lawrence responds vs. Tenn after getting his...

    2023 Dolphins: Greatest Show on Surf

    The BYE was a nice break for me, but man, did I miss seeing this team play! Back this week are De’Von Achane and River Cracraft, while key guys, Terron Armstead and Jalen Ramsey, are an additional week removed from their prior injuries. I thought Robert Hurt would be back for this game, but...

    2023 Dolphins: Greatest Show on Surf

    And then, of course, the NFL (and its fans) go back to "normal." Brock Purdy plays through a concussion, manages to clear the protocol in time for the following week's game (unusual nowadays), and then is observed holding his head after hitting in on the ground (no response from the sideline...
