    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    A guy who legit toiled and earned everything he got, without ever having a chip on his shoulder or sense of entitlement. Consummate teammate. One of the greats.

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    Amazing how simliar this parallels my own version of getting hooked on the Sox. That '95 season was magical. I spent sooooo many hours staring at the crawl at the bottom on ESPN to find out the score b/c we lived in NJ, and obvi the internet didn't exist yet! Thanks for sharing.

    Week 2 - Miami: Let’s Groove Tonight

    Did Miami have any negative plays in the first half, ie sack or run stopped behind the line? I don’t think so. Oof.

    Week 1 vs. Eagles: A New Beginning

    I don't get why Romo (or any announcer, really) never seems to talk about this. His footwork is glaringly statuesque. Is there some non-aggression pact between QBs or something?

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    If the Eagles win, at least it will bother New York sports fans. That's all I can come up with for a rooting interest.

    Damar Hamlin is headed home to Buffalo!

    Thanks for sharing this. Interesting that baseball, not football, is cited as a more common sport to trigger this. I'll put my hope in this statement from the article: "Currently, the outcome of resuscitation in commotio cordis appears to be very similar to that for resuscitation in other forms...

    Damar Hamlin is headed home to Buffalo!

    Similar-ish happened at the 2021 EuroCup, although that didn't involve an immediately direct hit like that. https://www.foxsports.com.au/football/the-euros/euros-2021-christian-erikesen-update-heart-attack-condition-latest-news/news-story/77745bcc38be7e59fb433955b87cc81e This is so tragic.

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    100% with this. Creates a giant blind spot where Bill may *not* do “what’s best for the team”

    AFC playoff chase 2021

    Even if Buffalo beats Tampa, , if the Pats go 2-2 to finish out, so long as one of those two wins is the rematch against Buffalo, Pats win the division, I believe. Kinda nuts.

    Best Patriots Regular Season Win under BB

    This was the same day as the David Ortiz ALCS grand slam against the Tigers, with the victory-arms cop in the background (and the CF’s legs!)

    The Game Ball Thread: Wk. 10 vs Browns

    I love how much the team legit enjoyed Meyers‘ first TD. People who I don’t think were in the play ran down to the end zone to join the party. That‘s a good sign.

    2019 Game Goat Thread: Wk. 17 vs Dolphins

    Jeez, second half record of 4-4. When was the last time that happened?

    2019 Playoff Seeding and Home Field Advantage Watch

    FWIW, Bills still control their own destiny for the AFC east and the #1 seed. Were the Bills to win out, the Patriots would have at least 2 in-conference loses (Ravens, Bills), while the Bills would be 14-2 with only one in-conference loss (to the Pats week 4). Here's the Bills remaining...
