    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Edit - Column is up: https://theringer.com/kevin-durant-thunder-conundrum-4b1689d4002c#.qo5flnqe4 I am shocked, my guess was he would never write again because he seemed to no longer enjoy writing and/or it was becoming nearly impossible to meet the hype for a "Simmons Column." Seems like a...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    From Florio: The league has not yet committed to making any of the PSI information public. However, a source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that the league may be releasing a summary of the data between the conference title games and the Super Bowl. The thought of cherrypicked...

    Red Sox to expand netting behind home plate

    Sam Kennedy on WEEI paraphrasing: Netting will likely look like current material and "don't hold him to it" but exploring 5-6 feet high - current backstop net is 9.8 feet high for reference. Sox exploring retractable netting to allow fans connection to the field before/after games, but Kennedy...

    Sox send Miley to Seattle for Smith (RP) and Elias (SP)

    I am happy to learn something today - didn't realize the full 40 man counted against the tax as opposed to the 25 man. In that case you're absolutely right, there are no additional tax savings. There is a reason I've lurked for so many years with so few comments - follow a ton of baseball and...

    Sox send Miley to Seattle for Smith (RP) and Elias (SP)

    If they option Elias he also would not count against the luxury tax I believe (same situation as Craig), so the true savings to the team is greater than the $7 million because of the 50% tax savings on Elias. Edit: Assuming Sox are over the luxury tax threshold (After Price and barring a big...

    David Ortiz will retire at end of 2016 season.

    Sorry everyone, I deleted the initial comment. Meant to be lighthearted joke, I had no idea that was the handicap row.

    Decent take from the NYTimes, just hysterical to see the comments section on a paper like this. A somewhat elitist take on the usual cesspool...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      Agree with this sentiment. Year after year I have come come SOSH to read deep analysis, not quick takes and takedowns of open discussion.   Of course I think the Pats were screwed in a sting, but how are we moving the needle by repeating the same opinions and perspective over and over?

    Is a "game thread" going to be created for the Salem State speech or is it appropriate to post here?

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      NBC has picked this up. It is amazing how much the 24-hour sports media sucks. Just shows how there really is a "code" in every sport and the Jets/Colts/Ravens went over a line here. Seems there are bodies to be found in every league if you dig deep enough sadly.   ...
