    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Opens up playing time again for Duncan Robinson? Oh, yes, I forgot. He's dead. Jaylen Brown killed him a few weeks ago.

    The Krafts

    "Initially, Kraft had hoped to move into the new stadium by 2001—two full seasons and about 20 months away. Now, the state was indicating that 2002 seemed more likely. " ...Imagine if the Tuck Rule Game in January, 2002 had been the last Patriots' game in Massachusetts!

    Jack Edwards to retire

    In this day and age, which job pays better? At least in my case, radio listening to Boston games is almost non-existent.

    Carl Erskine, RIP

    Some pitcher named Fred Kipp as well, at least Baseball Reference doesn't have him dead. 92 now.

    Mike Gorman’s last game as voice of the Celtics.

    Forgot to ask this Sunday, but John Sterling's retirement brought it to mind- is Gorman's call of Larry's 60 point game around anywhere? Only call I've heard over the years is Sterling's. Or, perhaps, I'm misremembering and there was no local (Boston) broadcast.

    Mike Gorman’s last game as voice of the Celtics.

    Thanks. I'm sorry I missed that. Will have to go back and find it. Better that than him on death's door or the like.

    Mike Gorman’s last game as voice of the Celtics.

    Didn't he do games with Cousy as well? Mr. Basketball isn't well enough to attend, but I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned (or at least not in the ceremony itself, maybe during the game and I missed it).

    Dalbec sent down to AAA (recalled to BOS on 4/12)

    Dalbec's the poster child for "looks good in a uniform" and "looks good standing up at the plate"....but cannot play at the big league level. Sad, really, like a lot of you, have always rooted for him to turn it around.

    2004 WS Celebration

    My favorite part of the Arod slap play was Jeter giving the fist pump as he crossed home plate with the tying (or next to tying) run ... then later having to go back on base.

    Bronny declares for NBA draft

    Had no idea Kornet's father played in the NBA. :) And in an era where I paid more attention to who was on what team than I do now.

    The Juice Expires (OJ Dead at 76)

    My thought in terms of show business was there never would have been a Jackie Chiles character on Seinfeld.

    What Was The Red Sox Starting Lineup For Your First Home Opener in Person?

    I went to that game. My first was this one, very poorly attended (23K might have included seats sold, the game was postponed a couple times) , even though it was a nice day. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BOS/BOS197404110.shtml A team with a lot of holes in its lineup. Rico and...

    Which accomplishment would you value more?

    Player (and their effect on the big club at some point) development has little to do with team success.

    2023-2024 Women’s College Basketball

    No one could have imagined a couple of years ago that a borderline call in a women's basketball game could draw so much attention.

    CFB 2024 Offseason: Spring Games, Transfers, Lawsuits, etc.

    Basketball too, so that makes 364 (West Georgia, whatever that is, is also moving up).

    Let’s Talk About These New Uniforms

    The details make a big difference. BC football is a prime example; you couldn't see the names on the back when they were an Under Armor school. Plus, with the MLB unis, arching the names on the back versus straight across makes thing even worse.

    Do they still have the dark green or just the kelly green? They had both last year. Not a big fan of the dark green.

    NCAA Men's Final Four Thread

    Even in a crummy Patriot League game, I've seen the officials waste minutes deciding an out-of-bounds call with under 10 seconds left and one of the teams up by more than 2 possessions. No doubt because of the effect another basket would have had on the over/under.
