    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    1987 comes close, with the disclaimer they had no second. Armstrong first, Perryman at RB 3rd, Gannon 4th. 1978 is the better parallel: Cryder T 1st, Cavanaugh QB 2nd, Pennywell WR 3rd. Could also argue the 1964 AFL draft: Concannon 1st overall (went to the Eagles instead), Jim Kelly TE in the...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    ...did anyone really think they were going 16-0? Heart of hearts did ANYONE think that was over 50%? It's better to learn these lessons earlier than later. The name of this game is adjustments in the playoffs. Right now, it hurts, it sucks, all that. But it was going to happen. It's not that...

    Jack Edwards to retire

    Jack was the inspiration for why I got my job in the NHL. I didn't grow up in a hockey family at all, but his absolute energy, for however you see that, was infectious. It made every moment feel like it meant more, that each step was another way to climb the mountain. Passion for what he did is...

    4/15 Borel's Million Dalbecs

    So, how about the 20th century vs. 21st century in baseball? 1917, 2017: AL team beats NL team in World Series; NL team moved from New York after 1957. 1918, 2018: Red Sox win World Series. 1919, 2019: AL team who won WS in ‘17 loses this year. Both teams that lose this championship find their...

    4/15 Borel's Million Dalbecs

    This season, entering today, 26 RBI allowed with two outs. Tied with the Phillies and Reds for 12th most. I know that’s imperfect since not every run scored has an RBI but I figure close enough.

    4/10 - Weathers vs. Stroman

    Would've been the first Yankees grand slam since at least 1911 to be: Walkoff, down three runs, and with two outs. 15 such slams exist in this timeframe, including one given up by the Yankees in 1988 to Alan Trammell. Judge knew immediately he didn't get all of it right away, got a quite a bit...

    4/9 - Puk vs. Rodon

    Last time it was consecutive LHP vs. LHP matchups was pretty recent for the Yankees, May 19/21 of 2022, although against different teams (@BAL, vs. CHW, respectively). Same team, for Yankees specifically? August 5 and 6 of 2021 against the Mariners. Including this series, Cortes has been a...
