For the last few days, the Facebook app on my iPhone 11 keeps turning off while I am reading. The app doesn’t crash per se as it remains open if I swipe up to reveal open apps. This issue remains even if I close it completely and reopen.

With little work happening, I am devoting a ridiculous amount of attention to tracking stats on my son’s baseball team. As such, I have a table showing the stats of each pitcher in each game listed int he top half of the workbook, broken down by game. In the bottom I want to sum up the totals...

I just read up on the new PS rules via this article on MassLive. Some of this has been discussed before around BBTL: PS size increased form 10 to 16 No limit as to previous active roster experience Four players may be protected from being grabbed by other teams But the article also...

Thinking about Gronk jumping out of retirement to join TB in TB, combined with the various reports that the main motivation for Brady's departure being the desire to leave BB, it makes me wonder if Bill is ruching the end of his Patriot life. It has been said many times in various sports, that...

Unlike the other major sports where COVID hit in medias res, the NFL is having to adapt at this point, during the off-season only. We've seen that they have decided to hold the draft in its normal time frame, but all pre-draft workouts and evaluations will have to be done in a new way. It's...

There may have been better offensive trios, and maybe better defensive trios, but has there ever been a better all-around trio than these three?

I’m looking to get my kids iPhones that they can use for Netflix and games, no phone, no text. What’s the best way to do this? It could be an old iPhone but only if the iOS can be current so that apps can work.

If we are going to shoot the moon for high-end comps for Grant, how about going back to the roaring 70’s and Big Red himself, Dave Cowens. Similarly undersized C at 6’-8”, more than held his own against Kareem, Walton, etc. Fun but of NBA trivia found in looking up Cowens stats: he’s one of...

This year's trade deadline is 10/29, so there are four more weeks left in the season before then. Assuming tonight's game does not end in a tie, there will be 6 winless teams looking at lost seasons, plus two more with only one win. Who from those teams might be available to the Pats to fill...

The Cannon Injury The Karras Lobs Wynn The Bench Looks like a lot of things to discuss about the OLine. RE: Cannon. My guess is a separated shoulder which probably means he misses 4 weeks or so. I bet they will keep Thuney there, bring Bodine back to play C, and move Karras to LG.

This spring will be my second season of coaching my son (who's now 7) in a town rec league. There are 11 kids on the team: one 9yo, eight 8 yos, and two 7 yos. We had our first practice last week and though all the kids say they have been playing for multiple years, including in this league...

Probably not the best title but the right terms are escaping me. A couple times in the last couple weeks, my wife and I have found search history on Safari on our iPhones for terms that our kids (son, 7, and/or daughter, 8) may have started innocently, but quickly took turns down a dark and...

Inspired by the talk of the best defensive CF in the Ellsbury thread, I thought I would start a thread for the best defensive player at each position. My nominees (my viewing goes back to the mid-70’s): P - (intentionally left blank) C - Tony Pena 1B - Doug Mientkiewicz 2B - Pedroia SS - Alex...

Maybe this should be in TBLTS, but I’d love to get coaches perspectives. My son is 6 (turned 6 in December). He started playing organized soccer this spring in a really well-organized league. The league put him in the U-6 division for some reason not the U-7. I’m guessing it’s because he...

In the spirit of the 2018 Pats D thread, and considering all the turnover on O (arguably more substantial than the D turnover), I figured it would be worth a thread to discuss it all. (returnees in bold) QB: Brady, Hoyer, Etling (R). Etling may simply be a PS guy to alleviate reps on two...

I thought it might be fun to take some whacks at prop bets. I've changed some of them around a bit to make them easier for one liner responses. Most of these are actual prop bets available from places that do that sort of thing: Game-related: Will Tom Brady wear a bandage on his right hand...

There was some talk in another thread about how the Pats have played in some of the most exciting SuperBowls in history. I thought it would be interesting to have a thread here to discuss the most exciting games through all 51 games. Then maybe a poll once we get a good number of nominees...

So Brady and Gronk make 1st Team, and Slater makes 2nd Team. Slater seems a bit undeserving, mainly because of his lack of playing time. But I don't think anyone else on the Pats was particularly deserving, maybe Ghost for 2nd Team. I'm not sure how LeVeon Bell makes it as 1st Team Flex and...

At the quarter pole of the season just passed, who is the Celtics Team MVP to date? It seems to me that strong cases could be made for both Kyrie and Big Al. What say the Port Cellar?

Combining two threads into one, in essence. I have no idea how to research such a thing broadly. My guess was that our namesake, Mr. Horn himself, would be the winner, but he actually played 46 games in his call-up year, so not him. (Side note: Sam Horn's wikipedia page does not mention...
