    Plummeting Ticket Prices

    Had my son and nephews at the house over Christmas (mid 20's-30s) and they were following the Xmas NFL games purely because of fantasy and gambling. Had no real interest in rooting for a team. I think the NFL is really leaning into this approach. That's really the only thing keeping NFL...

    Barmore stays a Patriot: 4 years/up to $92 million extension

    The offense being bad this year would actually be an improvement from last year where they were historically abysmal for 3/4 of the season.

    If you were a ballplayer...

    This is a great question and brought back a lot of memories I hadn’t thought about in years. Only difference was good range and inaccurate arm (I started as a shortstop but after a couple years went to second because of the arm). Has a hitter; had a good eye, lots of walks, crowded the plate...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Obviously the team would be in a much better position at the QB position then they are now with Jackson but there are still questions about his ability as a "pocket passer" and he has shown a propensity to come up small in big games. This may change in the future but it's not like he's...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Where's the player sit-downs talking about how they felt about that. Were they not asked or did the answers end up on the cutting room floor because the didn't fit the narrative arc of the doc.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    If the viewer misunderstands what the director intended/presents that's on them not the viewer. And to say they are presenting information with no point of view is disingenuous.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Agree completely with the above. However, he seems to have an incessant need for credit while deflecting any blame for things that go wrong. He's not going to take any of the credit pie from Brady so that leaves Belichick. Also deflects any blame to Belichick.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    While the above is true, it wasn't just the fact the Drew was gun-shy, he had problems making quick decisions. There is a reason for the old joke that when Drew went back to pass it was "pat, pat, pat, sack". Also not sure how much Drew was responsible for changing protections, if needed, at...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Just my opinions: Although still abrasive, Belichick seemed a bit more laid back in his dealing with the press. Whether age or pressure, he got much more dickish later on. He and Tom were really the only ones here for the two decades and I can only imagine the pressure they must of been under...
