    In-season NBA news thread

    Believe that would make him a nurse practitioner. (There's no phenomenal wordplay there. Just about a half a joke)

    Oh for Christ's Sake.....People complaining about the rights and wrongs of end of season trophies

    This is so utterly and completely and totally through the bullseye.

    Oh for Christ's Sake.....People complaining about the rights and wrongs of end of season trophies

    I'm not sure. If it helps to imagine, Jimmy Liddell had Mike "White Lotus" White energy. Like, a little wimpy. But also a little smartass. He wasn't scary weird, but also nobody gave him any shit. Because he clearly gave zero F's at age 10. I mean, this kid's stoical detachment was astounding...

    Oh for Christ's Sake.....People complaining about the rights and wrongs of end of season trophies

    We used to get a participation ice cream. After the last game of the season. Whole team. Even Jimmy Liddell, who didn't even want to play baseball. So he protested by never swinging the bat. All season long. Not even warmup swings. Every at-bat a K, BB or HBP. I was amazed at his dedication. He...

    John Madden has passed away

    Nice Guys movie is a strong working of two variants of wiseass PI too.

    John Madden has passed away

    Booze-weathered wiseass who doesn’t take shit is such a good jumping-off point.

    John Madden has passed away

    Agreed. Had too much potential to cancel, but different time. That one backstory flashback episode when he was a cop was quality.

    John Madden has passed away

    It's funny / suspenseful. Not exactly comedy. Logue has kind of a younger Nick Nolte in 48 Hours vibe.

    John Madden has passed away

    Do yourself a favor and catch Terriers. He plays a cop turned private eye. One of those shows too hastily cancelled after one season to the dismay of its fans. Edit: And of course The Tao of Steve, a comedic indie flick from 2000.

    John Madden has passed away

    Gotta go Logue here. Funny, likable and could also pull off tough for the coaching scenes too. Donal Logue takes this to the house.

    Kevin Youkilis to be NESN's primary color analyst on Red Sox broadcasts in 2023

    What's the over/under on how many times a game he disapprovingly says, "That was a ball."

    How interested are you in the Red Sox at this point?

    I respect this. I don't believe the other part (that you could just bail forever on baseball). But I respect your "There will never be another" sentiment. You could live a full life, like Rose after the Titanic sank and she didn't share a huge piece of door with Jack.

    How interested are you in the Red Sox at this point?

    Four rings offers enough liberation from the quest to take a break at times. Not to V&N the place, but I haven't been watching because I can't root for any player who went to the White House after 2018 while Cora and the majority of the team boycotted. Most of the attendees are gone. JD and...

    Happy Yankees Elimination Day!

    Happy Yankees Elimination Day!

    By next fall, there will be 13 year old Yankee fans who know no title joy.

    Yankees must win for Red Sox to get passion again!

    "Realizing he'd lost his passion, Andy got back into that pipe and crawled backward through five-hundred yards of shit-smelling foulness I can't even imagine."

    Yankees must win for Red Sox to get passion again!

    And even before that, the very term Yankee began as a pejorative for Dutch settlers who ate cheese*, with Jan being a common Dutch name and “kaas” meaning cheese. Ergo, “Jan Kaas = John Cheese,” which evolved to “Yankee.” So, admittedly that’s all a little antiquated and puerile, sure, fine, but...

    Yankees must win for Red Sox to get passion again!

    There are 12-year-old Yankee fans who know no title joy. And we’re supposed to wish this away? No. I want to live in a world where that kid leaves for college in six years and dispassionately just kinda becomes a Cardinals or Giants or Mariners fan because the Yankees never win.

    Sale's Return - When and in What Capacity?

    Probably four. (from AP) Boston has a $20 million team option for 2025, and if that is exercised, $5 million would be deferred until June 30, 2040. The 2025 salary would become guaranteed if he finishes among the top 10 in Cy Young voting in 2024 and is healthy at the end of the 2024 season.
