    Three day out check-in

    1. Who do you want the Pats to take at 3 (first choice)? Maye 2. Who do you want to take at 3 (second choice)? Depending on the offers, trade back. If nothing is eye-popping, take Daniels. 3. Who do you expect them to take at 3? Daniels 4. How do you feel about what they actiually did? Not sure...

    The Krafts

    Wolf wasn't my first choice either, but no matter what happens the new team is going to be compared to BB and is probably going to fall short. They went outside the org? Have you *seen* the failure rate of retreads and college coaches and coordinators who hit the peter principle? What are you...

    The Krafts

    I guess this comes off as pro-owner, but I am not bothered by the "heavily involved" comments. I view that as a signal to the fanbase at large that Jonathan wants to at least appear to be trying. "Hey guys, the last few seasons have been tough, but we're all working hard to fix it" kind of a...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    If this scenario happened, I would absolutely watch the season-ending press conference just to see who Doc would blame for the loss.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    My preference is Maye at 3, but I have also started coming around on the idea - if Maye is gone - of trading for more draft capital and getting some combo of receivers/Oline/TE this draft and taking a chance on a QB in 2025. That would give the 2024 class some time to adapt to the NFL level and...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    TH's problem is he is a good player on an outsized contract, i.e he's a bad value. The Pistons are going to have to overpay anyway (bad team in a lackluster market), they might as well pay a premium for a good player who came from an organization that has been winning since he has been there...

    The Krafts

    These thoughts kind of align with my own. The article seemed to conflate "having a candid conversation" with "Kraft threw BB under the bus out of spite". Did Kraft do that? Maybe. He has a big ego, maybe he retroactively wants more of the credit now that things are sour and he's catching some...

    The Krafts

    One thing I forgot to add - the NFLPA report card from 2024 gave the Pats' ownership a D+, or 27th our of 32. I am legit curious why players would view the Krafts as a bottom 5 ownership group in the league. Obviously their criteria for what makes a good ownership group is different than mine...

    The Krafts

    I don't have much of a problem with the Krafts. From a football perspective, they are like someone who makes one good investment (BB and by extension, Brady) and were able to grow wealthy off that investment by staying hands off and letting the investment do all the work. But now that the...

    Bronny declares for NBA draft

    My guess is that Bronny gets drafted by the Lakers with that LAC 2nd rounder, plays with his dad for a year off the bench and when Bron retires, Bronny quietly makes his exit. He doesn't need the money. He probably doesn't even care all that much about the "you're only in the NBA because of your...

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    I am certainly appreciative of what ownership did from the time they took over up through the last couple of years. I never really thought I would see a Sox championship in my lifetime and I saw 4. That is pretty cool. That would not have happened without current ownership and whatever it was...

    Following Former Celtics & Cs Nostalgia

    I wonder what Danny Ainge would have done in some alternate universe where he is still GM for the Celtics. I can't help but feel he would have held onto Smart due to loyalty, held onto TL hoping his value would come back (I love TL, but it won't - he's never going to be the pre-injury TL ever...

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    I hope this is the case for everyone involved.

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    I have gone back and forth on what I want the Pats to do, especially if Maye is unavailable (drafting him would be my best case scenario). I still keep thinking that sitting whatever QB they draft for a year is the prudent thing to do since the Pats offense is so bad. I posted that on another...

    2023-24 Celtics

    I have no issue sitting JT with Hauser out and letting Brissett/Svi/Walsh get some extended minutes against the Pistons. And if that makes for some funky lineups where we get more Springer and other seldom used guys, I am all for it. Let some depth guys get some game action in a pretty low...

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    This right here. I thought about posting responses to this several times, but it all seems moot because there is no incentive for teams to change what they are doing. By and large, teams would rather win now or show pitching prospects who look good now via the max effort approach, rather than...

    2023-24 Celtics

    I didn't think anyone looked particularly tired, then I read this thread and now I am worried, especially about JT. At this point, I am more than happy giving multiple starters days off. I have actually kind of enjoyed watching the bench see what they can do with expanded minutes, as well as...

    Patriots re-sign Anfernee Jennings

    For so long "In Bill We Trust" worked out well that the sudden idea of going with the grain seems so odd in contrast. This offseason has made a lot of sense so far - solid players, great value - and I hope that keeping the D largely intact will allow the Pats to go heavy on offense in what...

    Patriots sign Austin Hooper

    I agree and I would add that this a team in transition. I would prefer the Pats build a solid but unspectacular team through FA/draft around presumptive rookie QB, rather than going all out for a star FA edge or a WR or something now and leave a billion holes so we end up with Mac 2.0.

    Patriots sign Austin Hooper

    Too bad - I would have liked to see what Brown could do for the Pats with an expanded role.
