    Game 1 Philly, goats

    Just saw your posts @Cellar-Door and @Eddie Jurak - I was referring to the jump in stats. 50 td’s just transformed the conversation about Brady. He was viewed as a top Qb before that but he was more the “winner” in that grouping. Manning was the counting numbers guy. @johnmd20 said it well...

    Game 1 Philly, goats

    I'll add that even TOm BRAdy didn't become TOM BRADY until Moss, Welker then Gronk and Edelman put on the Flying Elvis. FWIW I'll add that I'm very encouraged by the overall play yesterday - especially the defense and ST. The OL was a Frankenstein monster, but the stitches held until almost...

    YouTube announces Sunday Ticket Pricing

    Thanks @Jake Peavy's Demons - I signed up for that same plan. It looks good and I like the access to the All-22 later. I don't mind the delay in seeing a game (if I was away I was watching several games hours later anyway), so I think it's going to work well. Appreciate the help..

    YouTube announces Sunday Ticket Pricing

    @Jake Peavy's Demons - it sounds like you have a way that'd work well for me too. Two questions, if you don't mind: are you out of market too? Which plan are you using to do this?

    YouTube announces Sunday Ticket Pricing

    Should I have mentioned that I did this with a dvr? I absolutely could record games on DIRECTV ‘s Sunday ticket. I’d set the recorder for the Pats game and it’d record it and it would be waiting in my playlist when I was ready to watch whether it was an hour or a day later. Probably watched 5...

    YouTube announces Sunday Ticket Pricing

    I’d like to add - can you record a game or start to watch it later? I haven’t been able to find an answer anywhere. Most Sundays, I can’t start watching the Pats until noon PT (I’m on the west coast). Directv’s Sunday ticket was perfect for this.

    Thank you, Marcus

    Nothing is forever. This doesn't have to be his permanent departure. Down the road, Marcus could come back and hopefully win a title with the C's. I think it's a good time to try a new direction with a new voice. The C's just got a bit softer though as Marcus seemed to be their most...

    CB Jack Jones Arrested at Logan for Having 2 Firearms in His Bag

    Years ago I was going to a Warriors game at Oracle with my friend. We were in line to go in the building when he pulls me aside. He had not one, but two full-size Swiss Army knives in his pocket. Beats me why, I'd never seen him pull one out in 15+ years. We went back out near the parking...

    CB Jack Jones Arrested at Logan for Having 2 Firearms in His Bag

    I'm just glad no one was hurt and here's hoping he learns from it. Young guy doing stupid things only works for so long. His agent, somebody, should be sitting him down and pointing out how much money a back-up vet CB makes in the league. That seems his floor given the promise he's shown so...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    It's the ticking clock on the core's prime that's the biggest factor here. CJM's circumstance is the coaching equivalent of the Warriors' move to dump Wiseman - they couldn't afford the development time while the sand runs out on their core (although as I understand it, there were cap...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    It depends on which players don't like the coach. If you want to keep, say, Tatum, then you'd better have a coach he either likes or respects and hopefully both. The organization gets a pass on this hire if they decide to fire Mazzulla. The circumstance of the hire was unprecedented and the...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    The first thing that comes to mind anecdotally is yesterday's 4th Q. The Heat are up by 12 to begin it. C's quickly go on 7-0 run to cut it to 5. TO Spoelstra. He didn't wait for the C's to possibly build on the run. He stopped everything. I don't think CJM should be fired no matter how...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    It's amazing/annoying how much I think about timeouts now. Decades of watching the NBA and there's always been a general timeout cadence as teams go on runs and coaches try to stem the tide. Now, I watch the C's and... there's no release. The team is literally spiralling down the drain and...

    Celtics vs 76ers, Round 2 Discussion

    Agreed on this. A ton of time left obviously, but in the moment it was huge. The 6ers were on a run, C's players shoulders were slumping, the crowd was getting louder and White's hit was a relief - like a pressure valve just released.

    Celtics vs Hawks, Round 1 Discussion

    Agreed. Beyond the open 3's for Al and Brown, if Tatum looks to Al, it appears he has an easy alley-oop to TL. A cornucopia of choices. Avoiding the teeth of the defense is the simple key (and hitting those 3's).

    2023 Pats: Offseason

    Nice post - it distills the trouble spots and weighs the additions/subtractions just right, I think. To me, it points to OT as BB's target in Rnd 1 or 2 at latest. The price of tackles is off the charts and you can argue it's the team's biggest need alongside a shutdown CB. It's the most...

    McCourty retiring

    To me, it was surprising how good he was his first year year at CB. 7 INT's, 2nd Team All-Pro as a rookie? I thought we had the next Revis (or, better yet, the next Mike Haynes). It was shocking how much he fell off that 2nd year, so the change to FS made sense - if not welcome. I still...

    Bill O’Brien named Patriots OC

    Agreed. When you've got an HC who thinks outside the box, he's going to think outside the box. He did it again and this time it didn't work. Enormous stakes - the seasonal equivalent of not calling a TO in the waning minute of the Seattle Superbowl - but it's little surprise that Belichick...

    Bill O’Brien named Patriots OC

    And with that roster of QB's, BOB got 3 seasons of 9-7 and then an uptick when he got a real QB (Watson). It's somewhat mystifying (to me, at least) that he didn't get another HC job right away. As always, there's a lot of bad coaches out there and BOB is a proven winner.
