    2024 Jets: Out of the Darkness - Take 2

    So refreshing to see that play out. Joe D gets an A grade from me for the Fash pick and free trade down value pickup. No complaints coming from me latter regardless how it plays out.

    2024 Jets: Out of the Darkness - Take 2

    Draft is tonight of course, and the online fanbase seems very aggressively split into 2 camps on pick #10. Team LT vs Team Weapon and/or The Bowers Boys in a supposed "GFIN season". I'm firmly in the Team OL camp. Joe D had a good overall winter as a GM and I give him a lot of credit for that...

    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    Pretty convinced at this point that my decision to follow MLB and the Sox on a daily basis again this season following a post-2018 hiatus is at the root of all this. Total jinx. That or the universe is really just trying that hard to do me a timesink favor.

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    I personally like Fields' 2023 tape a lot (especially post injury), and agree with Johnmd20 that he's in his own separate and above the others category. To such an extent I feel better about and would take my chances there over any QB in this year's draft other then Caleb (but I also don't put...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    For me it's the big and multi picture that ends up mattering most. Not to rehash or dig in on my general opinion of the Pats being a Jets level train wreck of dysfunction these days on a Pats board, but yeah. Trevor ended up in the pretty good spot (I'm a big Doug P fan) when all was said and...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    In all fairness to that Lawrence (who probably projects to have a lot more Derek Carr in him then savior franchise carrier they were hoping for) is the only one of those 1st rounders that didn't end up getting drafted into what ultimately ended up being a league worst type of development...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    Better case scenario for Zach to end up under Payton. I was 100% ready to move on, but my money would be on him playing better there then he played here if given the extended opportunity.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Far to many people are just adopting this necessary to the narrative implication that Minny will be equally interested in making a godfather offer regardless what QB falls to 3. Assuming that they are even indeed *that* interested in trading up in the first place. From a reality standpoint I...

    Pittsburgh 4/19, On the Road Again

    of course Yoshida has to ruin the moment

    Misc. Pats Offseason News

    Fun story, but that production career likely looks a lot different (and not in a good trending up way) had he gone to NE in that post-Brady era. If he's throwing tantrums in Philly getting 150 targets and 1500 yards, while supported by a historically good OL, I can only imagine how he'd of...

    2023 Jets: Hello Darkness Retreat, My Old Friend

    Not a fan of the stripes at all. My kids don't like them either. Not an upgrade imo.

    4/14 Galileo's Well-Handled Balls. . .

    Sub .500 baseball team trying their hardest to be what that 2024 reality says they are.

    Tom Brady is retired

    If you are referring to a comeback on the Raiders, sure. I mean the fit is there. The Raiders are a franchise that oozes a Jets' like vibe of relevancy desperation since making that move to Vegas. Bring him in, probably with the Aaron Rodgers' GM level say perk package, and like the Jets last...

    4/12 A-Holes In The Infield.....

    I'm starting to think I might have picked a shitty year to decide i wanted to pick back up an everyday interest in following baseball again.

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Not to state the obvious, but Triston Casas and Ceddanne Rafaela were/are 2 entirely different players with their own surrounding projection variables. I for one was a lot more confident/convinced then in Casas's bat eventually playing well at the MLB level then I currently am now with...

    Tom Brady is retired

    Tom is still probably just as a good a bet to give you a full 17 today as at least half the starting QB in the league imo. Heck I'll take him hands down over 3/4 of the current starters in the AFC east :) (on both heath and ability at that)

    Tom Brady is retired

    IDK, I think a hypothetical argument could be made where winning a title wouldn't actually be the most important variable driving that decision for him. Similar to the comparison example he gave in MJ with his latter comeback to the Wizards. In that respect it's also interesting the Raiders...
