    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    But the 2024 first is the #1 overall pick this year... you, as the Chicago Bears, could look at the Panthers adding Bryce Young and say to yourself, "Next year's pick is still going to by high AF" pretty confidently. We can't do that with Minnesota - if they add a good QB, next year's pick...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    It would go against Silver’s policy of complicating every aspect of the game with lawyerly bullshit

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    I think Philly got what they wanted because we’re talking about rules and reffing minutia instead of Joel Embiid not bothering to box out hartenstein on the most critical play of the game or even having the effort to grab a single rebound the entire second half of the game. Injury or no, the...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    There's obviously a difference between how fans on a messageboard react to bad reffing and how an entire organization reacts to bad reffing. We're making fun of the way that Morey treats on court basketball as a grift. He's used players like Harden and Embiid to manipulate the refs into bad...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I always try to remember it could be Rex Ryan or Hue Jackson on the other end of the phone line and then take these anon quotes with that massive grain of salt.

    Rank the WRs

    I suppose this is just an eye of the beholder thing because some folks think that after Odunze, the rest of this years wide receivers wouldn’t be ranked above Zay Flowers or JSN from last year. We have the benefit of hindsight with these previous classes, and I just feel like some of these guys...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    I feel like Bam is just a smaller, even more offensively limited Anthony Davis. B/c Davis never developed the three, Bam is just the slightly discount version of him.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (1) Oklahoma City Thunder vs (8) New Orleans Pelicans

    I simply cannot watch a Tony Brothers game without thinking about him calling Jeff Teague’s mom a hoe

    April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

    it really feels like he’s come in thinking “I’m going to prove everyone wrong!” and in the process he proves everyone right. He wants to play 1 on 5 instead of finding his teammates. It’s noticeably different than the approach the rest of the team is taking.

    The Krafts

    One thing that annoyed me in the documentary was Kraft saying he's a "self-made man" when he: - Married Myra - Then got a high-ranking job at the company her father owned - Then gained control of the company through a leveraged buyout Maybe it's me, but I don't think marrying into a position at...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    He’s even low effort on offense. What a shit player. I’m so glad I’ve never had to root for him.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Why are we talking about losing this series? We added KP and Jrue in the last year and they lost Butler, Strus, and Vincent. I get that last year was traumatic but come on… have some faith in this 64 win team

    I am not worried about the Celtics second round opponent after watching this game.

    Rank the WRs

    Is this wide receiver class all that deep? It's basically the three guys at the top, then Brian Thomas, then it's a series of guys in the day 2 zone that are "names" but have a lot of question marks around production or athleticism. I don't really see this class as particularly exceptional in...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Yep yep - apologies, mine was a "yes and" post. Edit: And just to put a button on this, you say "I know it may seem unfair that a rookie who hasn't played a single minute in the WNBA has a lucrative shoe deal compared to one of the proven best players in the world..." We literally just saw...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    I really just don’t think it’s that complicated. A Wilson highlight reel is post moves, mid-rangers, and blocks on players half her size. Bball heads may be amazed by that, but the average person doesn’t find that impressive because they can see that anywhere. A Clark highlight reel is full of...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    I think you’re missing my point. Popularity and marketability isn’t just down to how good of a basketball player you are. It’s a mix of that plus how you play the game - basically how much you entertain people. As we can see from WNBA ratings the last 20+ years, there’s not been a lot of...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    FWIW, McShay is pretty confident that WA takes Daniels and NE takes Maye. He said it’s 85/90% they stay at 3 and pick QB.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    I don’t really understand the idea that being a great player should necessarily equal shoe deal. Charisma is significantly more important than actual on court production, which is why some of the biggest sneakers of the last 40 years have been from Larry Johnson, Penny Hardaway, Kyrie Irving...
