    Who would YOU take at #3? And what's your backup plan?

    I'm now potentially getting converted to Isaac, but either way there are 3 guys I'm OK with in this order. #1 Tatum #2 Isaac #3 Jackson I'm coming into the camp that thinks Isaac has the highest ceiling. 6-11 with a 7-1 wingspan, should be able to shoot, quick enough to defend many 1-2 guards...

    The Plan For the #1, er, #3 Overall Pick?

    This doesn't necessarily add more bodies, at least not this year since they didn't add any 2017 picks. If they were sold on Fultz being a level above Tatum (or Jackson), I'm guessing they don't make this deal. I think it is as simple as Ainge deciding Tatum or Jackson is a better fit for their...

    The Plan For the #1, er, #3 Overall Pick?

    I was initially in the same boat except with Jackson, but people have converted me to Tatum. I think I had been too enamored with Jackson after seeing a montage of his explosive drives and finishes, but that mostly came courtesy of collegiate players who were vastly inferior athletes moving out...

    Hall of Fame Ballot for 2016 Enshrinement

    The fact that Schilling is as low as he is at this point is pretty ridiculous as well. People can chalk it up to him being the outspoken "blowhard", but not even Shaughnessy holds that against him when it comes to his ballot, and CHB clashed with him as much as anyone. (BTW I still haven't...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    This brings up another absurdity in all of this: Are officials now going to bring in each teams balls at halftime during really cold games to ensure they get reset to the 12.5-13.5 PSI range for the second half? Can't have teams using any footballs below 12.5 right? When the officials checked...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    I wasn't suggesting they should feel entitled to be able to break rules and get away with it. I was wondering how the Pats truly feel about folks like Grigson (and possibly Harbaugh) blowing the whistle and what their true motivations were. The Pats could chalk up Spygate to a division rival...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    I've wondered whether the Pats themselves might soon be pushed into blowing the whistle on certain teams as payback, and whether the tampering charges against the Jets might be an indication of that. I'm guessing they also have plenty of dirt on other teams but have refused to stoop to that...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    In some ways you're right that no one should really care. Speaking for myself though, what bothers me isn't that people don't like my team. It is when a flawed or misinformed thought process is used to trash my team. The urge to correct bad logic is what often sucks me in (and yes if you search...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    I thought it was that he didn't know his name or know him personally, which is plausible given that A) Jastremski was the guy Brady dealt with and B) McNally was a part-time employee who was only there on game days and hanging out in the officials locker room, not the Pats locker room. I could...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    Well in reader comments sections in places like ESPN.com you would be right, and even within a certain segment of "professional" commentators. Spygate is proof of that. The goal can't be to win over everyone. However.... ...the results of the sentencing phase, and Brady's response certainly will...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      And this sadly applies to 538 as well......       Are people referring to this piece? If so, yeah I was shocked to see something so ridiculous coming from 538, though at least Nate Silver wasn't one of the people taking part in that particular online discussion. The key thing here is that...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    Well neither should have to release their cell phones, but in the case of Brady it is an even bigger deal. Brady's private info and conversations would be extremely valuable to say, tabloids or......heck any journalist. Unless he is being accused of murder and this is his only way out, why would...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    I didn't catch that part about expected drop at first but I think you're right. What I mainly objected to is how they threw out there that basically there was a >99% chance based on the data that the balls would have had to have been tampered with to explain the discrepancy. Felger & Mazz...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    There are too many serious problems with the data. Exponent did a good job of trying to cover as many bases as they could in the experiments, but they are still stuck with incomplete data and having to make a very weak but important assumption about the starting point for each ball. If the...

    Happy Pedro Day!

    I've been out of the loop this past week. Was that Josh Planos piece for the Washington Post part of a joke? Someone actually wrote a piece talking about how Kershaw was having the best season since Maddux in 95? Like just skipped right over 1999 and 2000?

    Adrian Peterson News & Football related discussion

    There is a line in the 538 study about how one would expect lower arrest rates from an affluent group like NFL players where the poverty rate is zero. There are several reasons for that, not just simply that police are less likely to slap cuffs on you once they know who you are , though that...

    Adrian Peterson News & Football related discussion

      I do lean this way as well, because I'm sure if the Vikings had managed to put together a couple more drives like their first one on Sunday, they'd be more willing to hold Peterson out at least another week. It seems obvious why they made this call. There is no additional information at this...

    The "Belichick as GM" debate

      Are we talking just drafting CBs or including CBs he acquired as well? Even here the results are a bit more mixed than many people seem to acknowledge. As far as the busts go, yes Wheatley was absolutely one. The problem with Ras-I Dowling appeared to be more health than ability (though in...

      I don't disagree with your sentiment on the first part, was merely pointing out that it happens elsewhere. The key here is the whole YMMV thing. Chris Cook and Adrian Peterson actually aren't apples to apples as far as the crime goes. It is hard to compare the two. I need to make clear that...

    I'm pretty sure Myt1 is not ignorant of the fact that good athletes get coddled, and all you've done is increase your burden of proof. If NFL players are more prone to be entitled pricks, you still need to demonstrate that this manifests itself in a disproportionate number of arrests compared to...
