    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    As a cord cutter I'm now just sort of used to the idea of being spoiled when it comes to following sports. the sunday ticket stream is generally always a play or two behind the game thread and the various NFL/Fantasy app scoring alerts i have setup for whatever reason. I often know a big play is...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Except that in both cases the team trading back didn't need a QB. That's what I'm saying is different in 2024.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    The thinking is that NEP also need a QB and therefore require a premium to move back. if you have a top 3 pick and don't need a QB you'd be far more willing to trade out. The supply and demand wrt picks and QB prospects is different in 2024 than in past years and I personally think justifies...

    First time visit to Fenway

    I just want to say that in 1999 I worked at an internet startup that was essentially a bunch of message boards and on my first day i saw a post from a kid in the UK asking for people to explain the rules of baseball to him and dozens of American kids eagerly took the time to explain baseball in...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Yes, I think as with most things the truth is somewhere in the middle. I'm trying to think about it from the Apple perspective. I think someone over there said, "Where's our Drive To Survive? Let's take some meetings." not "Do we know anybody with a good take on why Bill Belichick sucks? Let's...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Yes. Do I think the filmmakers were fist pumping anytime Belichick answered one of their questions with 8 seconds of tight lipped silence? Yes I do. But not because their agenda was to trash Bill. Their agenda was to hook viewers into watching the next episode.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    I did. I mostly liked it but also recognize its doing a different job than Do Your Job. For context, my 79 year old mother who has deep resentment about the amount of time and money her husband and sons spent on the Patriots over this time span DEVOURED this series and watched the Hernandez...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    "A neutral retelling of past events" is a terrible pitch for a TV show. Hamacheck's agenda was to sell a TV show to Apple, the #5 streamer trying to grow its audience. I haven't seen Drive To Survive but my understanding is that its not a neutral retelling of past events created for F1 fans...

    Mayo: Season 1

    Or Onwenu and Duggar upped their asking price after Mayo said they were burning cash and Wolf asked him kindly to not make his job any harder. You can be open for business and not want to overpay everybody for no reason.

    The Fox sports s***show thread (Ken Rosenthal needs a new place to write about baseball)

    I'm growing increasingly curious what the plan for Katie Nolan is. I had expected a fall relaunch with her at the center, but there has been no announcements, publicity or promos to that extent. She's been essentially radio silent other than sharing that she was traveling to Isreal with Kraft...

    It Comes!

    I'll be there and plan to buy one of portnoy's bozo shirts for the occassion (although I prefer the "Goodell Loves ISIS" tee). I would love it if the stadium was filled with them. A clown out.
