    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Hard to blame Montgomery; he got a lot out of an out manned roster all season. The team went all in last season, and failed to get out of the first round.

    The Krafts

    I recall several years ago, there was an excerpt of an interview with Jonathan Kraft, where he was asked if Bill had final say on all football personnel decisions. Jonathan responded by saying "Bill has final say on most decisions", with an emphasis on most. But he did not elaborate further...

    Round 1, Game 2 -- Toronto @ Boston

    Weak showing, let Toronto get their way on offense. We'll see if they can recover in Game 3.

    The Krafts

    Keep in mind that Eliot Wolf is not formally listed as GM. He is still listed as Director of Scouting, and Matt Groh is still listed as Director of Player Personnel. Meanwhile, the "Front Office" link at patriots.com lists only the Krafts...

    The Krafts

    What we are missing from the media reports is the symptoms vs the root cause? Did the Krafts decide at one point they needed to have more input into football decisions, and that caused the relationship with Bill to sour? Or did the working relationship get to a point that the questioning of...

    April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

    Last season, the Celtics lost G1, albeit not a blowout. Today's result is much better, no matter what your point was. I'm sure the coaches will be working on some things during the week, knowing that Miami will make adjustments in G2.

    April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

    The Heat team is not remotely close to the Magic/Kareem/Worthy Lakers of 1985.

    The Krafts

    Wolf is playing the agent-speak game. He wants to be GM for a long time (be it with New England or with a hypothetical future team), and has no reason to get players or their agents irritated with him by airing their personal situations to the press. Better just to say "he got offered more...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    Seems like Coach Joe was having some fun with that quote, knowing it would probably get a rise out of some folks. He's got a very dry sense of humor, and some of his quotes sound very different listening than they do reading them. It was a very light hearted interview and he was clearly having...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Facts not in evidence regarding the bolded. With KP and Jrue instead of Grant and Smart, this season's Celtics offense >>>>> last season's.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    5 games seems like the median outcome, given the talent advantage of the Celtics roster vs Miami’s sans Jimmy. I will be irritated if this series goes to a 7th game.

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    Yeah, the idea that excellent players would fail in New England is an absurd take. Get good players and the rest becomes a lot easier; no team has All-Pro caliber players at every position. The reboot should be fun to watch, and it starts with this draft.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    When you have the #3 pick, you don't trade out of the top 10. The team today needs players to build around, not collection of Cole Strange's (and I say that as someone who believes Strange's best days are still ahead of him). Patriots need to be focused on building out their own roster, not...

    Tatum or Ant?

    With Embiid, it's been the perfect storm of injuries and bad teams. Injured the first 2 seasons and limited to 30 games his 3rd. Lost to a very good Celtics team in his 4th year, but things looked promising with Ben Simmons winning RoY. Despite the oft-cited chemistry issues with Jimmy...

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    Oblique strains are fairly common and nearly every pitcher will have one at some point in their careers. Unclear that there is any magic ball that says "this pitcher will not suffer an oblique injury this season", nor are such injuries necessarily correlated with others. Sometimes, there's...

    2023-24 Celtics

    Yep. These injuries to Butler, Embiid, Giannis, et al are a stark reminder that the Celtics and their fans should be all in for the title right now. Nobody can predict what will happen next season with regards to injuries. Flags Fly Forever!

    Tatum or Ant?

    I am convinced that the 2024 version of Tatum schools Wiggins and wins that GSW series. And the 2024 Celtics would win that series in a straight sweep.

    The Krafts

    Robert Kraft gets at least 8 non-deductible points for keeping the team from moving; seriously, people do need to realize that the team had basically packed its bags for St Louis until RK stepped in. And everything else since then has been great. Not perfect (nobody is), but definitely in the...

    What to do with Yoshida?

    I understand less the desire to move Devers to full-time DH. All they can do with Yoshida at this point is hope he figures things out. Or the coaches can help him. Neither may be the case, at which point they find a way to eat his contract during the offseason (although Henry is unlikely to...

    What is next for BB?

    First, Philly has no reason to move on from Siriani a season after making the Super Bowl; we'll just agree to disagree on whether he is a good coach or not. Buffalo never came up in the article, and seems likely Buffalo will ride McDermott until the eventual 5-12 season happens. The Dallas job...
