    Mayo: Season 1

    If I'm remembering correctly, Evan Lazar said (on Patriots Unfiltered) that he'd interviewed Hightower about the Mayo hiring, and that Hightower was open to the idea of coaching.

    NFL introduces the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show

    That would make sense. There are also a lot of the same report out there this week, that she doesn't want to play the Super Bowl until she's done re-recording the earlier albums (the ones where she doesn't own the rights). TMZ link

    NFL: News and transactions

    Rap talked about it on the Around the NFL podcast this week. He said that contracts are available to those with certain kinds of NFL access that's not very high level. Apparently he was going through the contract as he does for all big contracts, and was surprised to find it. He doesn't think...

    Pats QB Options

    Vaccine isn't a cure all, agreed, but your anecdote doesn't suggest much given that it also takes ten days for the first shot to start being effective.

    2021-2028 Pats: Is Bill the man for the Re-Billed?

    The presumption here seems to be that this is the only philosophy Bill has for success in the NFL and that he's going to try and replicate it. I think his track record shows that he adjusts. Even with Brady, I don't think it was his plan to find a QB and hope they don't ask for top dollar. He...

    Washington Football Team is now the Washington Commanders

    What you are saying is factual incorrect. Please read the study I posted and the piece written by Fawn Sharp. There has been long-term and widespread opposition from within the American Indian community. What you appear to be doing is virtue signaling, ridiculing those who care about the issue...

    Washington Football Team is now the Washington Commanders

    I put more weight into the study I posted, in part because it's an actual study published in a peer-reviewed journal, and not just a Pew or newspaper poll. Either way, of course there are American Indians who aren't offended, because they simply don't care, or because it's simply too exhausting...

    Washington Football Team is now the Washington Commanders

    Nothing says "virtue signaling" more than someone using the term "virtue signalers." And yes, that's the favorite poll cited by people who for some reason are fighting to keep the stereotype and the slur. Bigger and better done surveys find different results...

    2019 TB12: Everyday Is Like Sunday

    It's hard for me to imagine Brady moving on to another team, if only because there's not another setting that can give him what the Patriots provide. I could imagine him retiring; I doubt he will telegraph his last year whenever he decides to hang it up. Reading the tea leaves is tough. Brady...

    Rebirth of a Sale, man

    In the immediate aftermath of his return from the DL, I'd go with "Sale (No Longer) Away."

    This year's ESPN hit piece

    It didn't look out of place to me in the context of the video. A lot of the greetings in the video are generally subdued -- look at the ones that start the video. It seems more workmanlike than anything else. Now, if that's the greeting they give each other after winning the Super Bowl, I might...

    Divisional Round Gamethread

    But everyone from Beantown does.

    This year's ESPN hit piece

    This is an example of why the analysis in the article seems off to me. Wickersham's contention seems to be that BB got pissed off because he was asked to make a move that was not in the best interest of the team. And so in reply...BB makes a number of moves that are not in the best interest of...

    The New Mozilla Firefox

    After a dozen years using Firefox, I've switched to Waterfox. So far it's doing pretty much everything the old Firefox was able to do. The 1Password manager wouldn't work with it, so I switched to LastPass. The only glitch I'm noticing now is that tweets won't load for me on SoSH. Edit: The...

    Rate the trade: Irving for Thomas/Crowder/Zizic Nets 18' pick

    CBS Sports still gives the Celtics a B for this move. Of the grades you cite, only one gives it anything less than a B. Isn't that more important than whether the Celtics "win" the trade?
