    Fan dies at Gillette Stadium

    Such an awful thing. Idiots and alcohol. I'll never forget being at Joe Robbie in 2004 for December Dolphins/Patriots. The Dolphins were in the midst of a three win season and the pats had one loss, but Brady threw 4 Ints and the Dolphins got the win. After the game I went into the men's room...

    Fenway for the first time in a long time

    Thanks, really looking forward to this trip. Never forget your first time. For me, summer of 82, Tigers, down two in bottom of the ninth, Dewey homers to tie the game. Wade Boggs pinch hits in extra innings, first career HR to win the game. Gonna be tough to top that one. Actually bumped into...

    Fenway for the first time in a long time

    I'm bringing the family up to Boston to see my first game at Fenway in about 36 years. No lie, the last time I was at Fenway we were all excited for a blue chip prospect who had just been called up---Sam Horn, who hit his first MLB home run that day (against the Mariners). First question, does...

    Dolphins Tampering thread, loss of 2 picks and Ross suspended

    I emember Dolphin fan here. I'll never forget back in 1992 the Dolphins started off 6-0, including beating the crap out of the Bills in Buffalo. It seemed like they were the best team in the league and finally were going to knock the Bills off. (They did end up winning the division that year...

    Dolphins: Year Tua

    I'm very surprised they sacked Flores, but shocked that Grier didn't join him on the unemployment line. The 2020 draft will set this franchise back years. Three first round picks and right now they all look like busts. Tua, Austin Jackson, and Noah Igbinoghene. I can't believe that he's still...

    Don Shula Passes Away

    I think Shula was always regarded as one of the best motivators of players, second only to Lombardi. I don't think he was ever considered a great tactician or X and O guy. In the second half of his career Shula the coach was let down time and again by Shula the GM. Giving him roster control was...

    Whose Departure From the Sox Devastated You Most?

    There have been a lot of tough ones to watch walk out the door. Never thought I'd see Nomar leave, Clemens, Boggs, Pedro, Manny, now Mookie. Still, for the most part I tried to rationalize the decisions as good baseball moves. The one that I never could swallow was Jon Lester. Homegrown pitcher...

    Dolphins: Aloha

    This. They need to fill in a whole roster, Tua is very risky. Use one bullet on him, but not all of them.

    2019 Cowboys: And Now for Something Completely Different...

    Why fire a coach who hasn't won anything in ten years when you're keeping the GM who hasn't won anything in 20 years? The last two decades have been nothing but Jerry trying to prove that he was responsible for those Super Bowl rings, not Jimmy. It hasn't gone well.

    2019 Dolphins: Can’t Even Tank Right

    I think that Flores has shown that he can get more out of his players than he reasonably should, they play hard and seem prepared. To take the next step(s) though, you still need the players. That remains the question, Grier has not exactly impressed anybody with his recent drafts. If he doesn't...

    AB Watch II: Quarantonio Brown

    It seems as though he’s also complaining about the money he didn’t get from the Raiders in his tweet. Wasn’t he the one who went on social media and said “please release me“?

    2019 AB Watch: Legal & Exemption List Posts Only

    Which really makes no sense. The only benefit to him paying her would be to keep it quiet and avoid bad press...so once she tells a reporter about it and the story is published, she has no more leverage. If she wanted money, telling her tale to a reporter for free seems like an odd way to do it.

    2019 AB Watch: Legal & Exemption List Posts Only

    I'm sure that everybody involved, from his friends, his attorney, the Patriots, the NFL, his agent, I'm sure that they all advised him not to communicate with any of his accusers. He did it anyways. Whether this is the straw that breaks the camel's back or not, it's clear that he will do...

    [LOCKED] 2019 AB Watch: Non-legal Views Only

    Disagree somewhat on Zeke, what he did is not as clear. Probably should never have been suspended. Tyrek Hill disgusts me, I was outraged by everything as were many others I know. To me, it's a black eye for the league. For whatever reason though, the media seems to have let it go. Maybe...

    [LOCKED] 2019 AB Watch: Non-legal Views Only

    This is a tough one. On the one hand, I don't think a player should be put on the exempt list based off one civil suit accusation. On the other hand, if AB plays this weekend, the optics could be terrible for the league and the team. The Patriots might not care as much, they don't seem to let...

    2019 AB Watch: Legal & Exemption List Posts Only

    I know a guy who played with AB in college. He also knew the accuser through a friend of his who had dated her. He has not been in contact with AB for years, and has been pretty critical of him, so he's not simply a friend. For what it's worth, he told me a couple of things. First, that the...

    [LOCKED] 2019 AB Watch: Non-legal Views Only

    Obviously AB and his agent knew that this was out there, maybe they didn't have any idea it would be filed today, but they knew about it. If they really didn't give the Patriots any kind of heads up, doesn't that destroy the relationship right there?

    My friend who knows both said that she was trying to get a confidential settlement from him for about six months. Guess she gave up on that.

    [LOCKED] 2019 AB Watch: Non-legal Views Only

    Is it possible that the Patriots knew about this, but went forward because they believe AB? I'm just surprised that nothing came up when the Patriots did their due diligence. I was speaking with someone who knew both parties back in college, and he told me that this rumor has been floating...

    The Antonio Brown Hypothetical: Post-Release

    Bingo. It's about money with this guy. A big part of forcing his way out of Pittsburgh was to get more money. His apology yesterday was an effort to hang on to his guaranteed Oakland money, when presented with a scenario where he kept 30 million dollars simply by not being a jackass, he went...
