    Pats QB Options

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t46hOHr--zQ This guy is an OSU insider, he has a pretty solid track record. Being an OSU fan I was hoping JF would wind up with the Pats but Niners always made the most sense. Really hoping the Pats don't wind up with Jones, I don't think he is a...

    Rosenthal: Sale extension 5 years, $145 million

    I don't have ESPN+, but Buster wrote a piece this morning that referred to the Sale extension as "a mistake", "out-sized", a "significant overpay" and an "assumption of enormous risk". That seems to be in contrast with the general sentiment here that Sale took a team-friendly team. Thoughts...

    We're Onto the NFL Draft (2019 Prospect Thread)

    2nd/3rd for Terry is a little high for my taste. He was probably the 4th option on the Buckeyes last year, clearly behind KJ Hill and Campbell, clustered with Austin Mack, Binjamin Victor and, by the end of the year, true freshman Chris Olave. If he is there in the 4th/5th round, I'd jump all...

    We're Onto the NFL Draft (2019 Prospect Thread)

    Ohio State fan here, so I've watched Parris quite a bit. I would agree with your assessment of a 3rd round pick, maybe a 4th. He is super athletic but a little overhyped right now. He is a far cry from Michael Thomas, who I was dying for the Pats to take (maybe they would have if they didn't...

    2019 Patriots: Post-SB Roster Thread

    Hadn't heard of him previously, but Pennel seems like the typical BB under the radar signing. He broke out in 2018 and was ranked the #14 DL by PFF, decent write up below. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-henry-anderson-and-mike-pennel-stepped-up-for-the-jets-on-the-defensive-line

    2019 NFL: News & Transactions

    I believe that twitter reaction was in response to the initial report that the deal was for 3 years/ $10 million total, not $10 million per year. The 3 year/ $30 million deal is getting panned pretty good.

    2019 Patriots: Post-SB Roster Thread

    You actually did. By your own logic, Trey Flowers is not a borderline pro-bowler, let alone an All-Pro and cannot possibly be an elite player because he is "not a household name and doesn't rack up a ton of sacks". There are other ways to measure success at Flowers' position outside of name...

    2019 Patriots: Post-SB Roster Thread

    Am I missing the sarcasm here? I don't think anyone who watches football thinks that KVN is a better football player than Trey Flowers. KVN is underrated, but so is Flowers because he does not rack up "a ton of sacks" which apparently is the only way that you quantify the value of edge...

    2019 Patriots: Post-SB Roster Thread

    I thought Cannon was pretty good last year. I don't know how much stock people put into PFF, but Cannon graded out higher than Brown- 72.8 (27th ranked T) to 71 (32nd T). Cannon also seems to be on a pretty reasonable deal, whereas the bidding for TB could get out of control.

    Kareem Hunt - channeling his inner Ray Rice

    I am disgusted by the video and I am not sure there are "levels of bad" when it comes to violence against women. ANY violence is unacceptable, not to mention from an NFL athlete whose built like a truck. My heart sunk when she was crumpled on the ground, crying. Hunt's reaction was to kick her...

    Who's Your Top Ten - 2018 CFB

    In what world is a two loss conference runner-up more deserving than a 1 loss conference champion? Why even play the games if that is the case? UGA has to win to be in. Sorry, sometimes you actually have to win a game before just being handed something because "SEC!!". UGA has exactly two...

    ALCS Game 5 Pitching Predictions

    I think it's possible they think the Astros have something on him and are inclined to stay away. In his September start against them, he had a good first inning and then was giving up rockets all over the place. Bregman and Maldonado took him over the monster. Every out was smoked but at...

    Sony Michel and draft strategy

    Anecdotally, I tend to agree with this observation but, according to ESPN stats and info, 65 of his 112 yards came after initial contact. That would tend to suggest he is doing a nice job finishing off his runs and powering through the defender.

    The Alex Cora Difference

    I did not invent Alex Cora's close relationship with many members of the Astro's organization, that is a thing. I simply raised the question if it concerned anyone else with respect to the Astros comfort in Fenway. Didn't bother anyone else, so I guess there is nothing to see here. I am not sure...

    The Alex Cora Difference

    No, definitely not. My main criticism or concern really is that Houston is incredibly comfortable in Fenway and that needs to somehow change, in my opinion. As others have pointed out, that's likely due to the Astros being incredibly good as opposed Cora's relationship management with opposing...

    The Alex Cora Difference

    If my post was an overreaction, I'm not even sure what to classify this response as. Relax, man. Is Cora really so far beyond reproach that even a minor critique is met with this reaction? No where did I say I want a manager with no charisma or loyalty and that burns bridges everywhere they go...

    The Alex Cora Difference

    I'll preface this by saying that I absolutely love Cora and his overall approach to this job, how could you not? His demeanor and approach with the media is fantastic and his players clearly love playing for him. There is no one else I would rather have at the helm. That said, there was one...

    Urban Meyer Put On Administrative Leave

    I am not trying to convince anyone that Meyer is a good guy, he has already been hung in the court of public opinion. His record speaks for itself at Florida and it wasn't pretty. I do think he has made a concerted effort at OSU to be better. When allegations of assault against a female were...

    Urban Meyer Put On Administrative Leave

    This post is wholly inaccurate and a leap to a predetermined desired conclusion, much like the majority of the national media's coverage on the situation. I have not seen a single report anywhere indicating a "simultaneous purging" between Meyer, Gene Smith, Zach Smith and Brian Voltolini. Where...

    The 2018 Lineup

    If the Sox play their remaining 145 games at a .550 clip, they will win 80 more games, leaving them with 95 wins. To hit 100 wins, they need to win 58.6 percent of their remaining games, which is roughly a 95 win pace over the course of a whole season.
