    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    No. I can’t believe the other orgs all listened. Honestly, the only person who’s rep has improved post Kraft, bb, tb is Brady.

    2023-24 Celtics

    I haven't watched this much regular season Celtics in years--unemployment will do that--but it's hard to overstate how good, how entertaining, and how deep this team is. It's really quite striking that every player at least one through six is a legit two way player and beyond that you've got a...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    It was a really good piece. I haven't watched the doc because why would I? But I'm perhaps the premiere long time advocate here for the idea that Bob Kraft is not a particularly good person and I do think this bolsters my case. It's not that having to much ego is a mortal sin, but it's not a...

    Are the risks of "Max Effort" worth the cost?

    There are obviously a lot of guys who have to throw max effort to be big leaguers. This is an easy question for them. I do think there’s a question of whether guys who are really good should be encouraged to be more economical with their efforts. Presumably 90% effort from an elite pitcher is...

    Do we need a Celtics Announcing thread?

    I've been regularly watching regular season play for the first time in years, and I think he's quite good. I also like House and Scalabrine has grown on me. They pass the "Do I like having them as regular guests in my home" test.

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    Getting rid of Fenway would be an idiotic business move. Because Fenway is a tourist draw, they draw even when the team is terrible. Build a new toilet style stadium and there's no reason to go when they finish last yet again.

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    The risks of selling are really, really high. High enough that with even a mediocre owner, you're probably better off standing pat. Think about the possible buyers the last time round. Dolan and McCourt would have been unqualified disasters--I think we have enough evidence to back that...

    Chiefs demand half a billion

    Three Super Bowls aren't enough, they're demanding $500 million in public money. They'll almost certainly get it, but it's outrageous. I hate give him credit for anything, but Tom Finneran was absolutely right to call Bob Kraft's bluff. There was a real risk of the team leaving, and I can't...

    Dak Prescott in trouble

    Can a lawyer walk be through what is extortion vs what's a settlement offer? I clearly don't understand,

    Former SoSH Greats in the media (Simmons and SeanBerry Megathread)

    And Berry got out and almost immediately tweeted a picture of Trump and Portnoy at a UFC fight. I understand letting your boss bully you, but Dave fucking Portnoy? Half some self respect man.

    Former SoSH Greats in the media (Simmons and SeanBerry Megathread)

    This basically reinforces my opinion of Barstool. It's a bunch of frat boy douchebags. And I'm pretty sure they treat Chris like a pledge.

    Former SoSH Greats in the media (Simmons and SeanBerry Megathread)

    Did he have any sense of what time it was? He seemed to hav a fix most of the time.

    Former SoSH Greats in the media (Simmons and SeanBerry Megathread)

    I’m alittle confused. He left with three hours left but it’s not clear why?

    Wizards, Caps will reluctantly accept $500 million to stay in DC

    This sparks joy. I don't love DC giving a $500 million subsidy, but at least having the arena in the cit makes sense.

    Former SoSH Greats in the media (Simmons and SeanBerry Megathread)

    I thought he said it was a joke. I can’t find it but I haven’t looked. I’ve found the whole think amusing but I don’t really know why it would be if you don’t know Berry.
