    Chili Davis and Brian Butterfield leave Sox for Cubs

    I believe Xander had a hand injury that impacted his power for much of the season as well

    Kyrie Irving traded to Celtics for IT, Crowder, Zizic, BKN 1st, 2020 2nd

    I think Kyrie's been pretty consistent in what he has been saying. He has made multiple references to wanting to grow as a player and the area he wants to grow (being a more well grounded PG who actually initiates the offense) is what many ding him for not doing in the past because he played...

    And so I'm wrong again.

    Maybe Robert Lee to pander to the southern whites?

    Yeah, would think the blind would not prefer a touch screen device but I've been wrong before

    Kyrie Irving traded to Celtics for IT, Crowder, Zizic, BKN 1st, 2020 2nd

    To be fair (and I wasn't a fan of the deal) I think what you're saying makes sense but we don't know if it's really true. Any half-wit coaching the Cavs would build the offense around LBJ. So while LBJ may draw more defensive pressure away from the rest of the players on the floor, is he...

    Big changes at CSNNE and WEEI.com

    I wonder if there's any additional compensation to Tomase for posting any articles on WEEI.com

    The Nation's Tears: Volume II

    That is all I recall. It wasn't big news but I think I heard about it on some syndicated ESPN radio show at the time so if there were juicier elements it probably would have been censored.

    How to stop the tankathon

    I would go one step further by dropping them one slot for back to back lottery years. So if they finished in the lottery last year, whatever pick they end up with in this years lottery drops one (and everyone else leapfrogs a spot)

    The Nation's Tears: Volume II

    It was their "white house" because the house was painted white. It made national news IIRC but only on sports talk radio. The internet and the 24 hour news cycle and all these dedicated sites/hot takes have really evolved since then.

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    It's just amazing how much attention to detail the coaching staff places on everything. Watching these two videos is the equivalent of being a fly on the wall with BB. What other team practices trick plays every week? How many teams would be able to add a new play the night before the SB...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    For Vue, you choose a zip code and those are the local ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX affiliates you get. You get that by the package and it doesn't matter if you're traveling or using a VPN. I live in San Francisco but used a Boston zip code to get access to NESN, CSNE, and CBS (to watch Pats games)

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    But part of the setup was Hightower complaining to the ref on the previous play after he was tackled while rushing the passer. I wonder if players were coached to do this also or if it was Hightower being heady. Btw anyone have a link to Do Your Job part 1?

    Kyrie Irving traded to Celtics for IT, Crowder, Zizic, BKN 1st, 2020 2nd

    You keep claiming/intimating that Cleveland found something in IT's physical that either wasn't disclosed or changed. I don't think I have read anything from a reputable source that supports or confirms that (though there have been several that refute that). The far more likely scenario is...

    Virus Alert: Cyrus Jones with "serious" knee injury

    Might be blasphemous to suggest this but.....how about Brandin Cooks? It's BB so you know about how he feels about the importance of ST.

    The 2017-18 Brooklyn Nets: Who Cares?

    Even if the team has an incentive to tank, it's done at the management level. Not signing veteran FA's, giving more minutes to younger players and allowing them to develop through mistakes etc. I just can't see PLAYERS tanking or doing anything other than trying to win. Remember when the...

    Stevens' New Toys: Predict the 2017-2018 Performance of Irving/Hayward/Tatum

    I'm awful at this, but: Irving: 30 ppg (since people predict he's trying to get out from under LeBron's shadow to win a scoring title but fall short) All Star Hayward: 25 ppg (in an incredibly efficient performance that some of the statheads here will argue his MVP candidacy) All Star Tatum...

    Kyrie Irving traded to Celtics for IT, Crowder, Zizic, BKN 1st, 2020 2nd

    You answered the question yourself. The holdup wasn't really about IT's health or when he will be ready, it was about Gilberts concern with how this trade would be perceived (from the previously cited O'Connor article from the Ringer
