    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Right, I think this is hard to prove. Given that Lombardi was in the NFL for so long, I imagine he's not just making this up -- he probably heard it from players/coaches/execs, so whether it's true or not I think it's interesting he said it. The game this made me think of was Pats @ Jaguars in...

    Misc. Pats Offseason News

    Sure, although given that it sounds like Andrews considered retiring this offseason I wonder what the structure of this deal is -- interested to see the details. View: https://twitter.com/patscap/status/1791157341796049186 Yeah, I saw this at Uni Watch a while ago and while it's not perfect...

    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    But not the worst Super Bowl odds in the AFC! That honor goes to the Titans (Pats are +12500, Titans are +15000, and for reference the Panthers are a cool +25000). It's very hard to look at this schedule and identify a single game I'm confident they will win*. Still, with a defense as good (I...

    May 2024 MLB Gamethread

    True, but the Rangers are scary. They’ve scored the most runs in the AL but they’ve given up a ton of runs because their entire rotation is on IL. By June they should have Scherzer, Eovaldi and Bradford back, and by August they could have DeGrom and Mahle as well. Feels like a team that could...

    Let’s Talk About These New Uniforms

    No, oddly they were officially CC, and to your point they unofficially sucked (I.e. were just too boring). Although I will say, I was surprised the "Los Dodgers" caps didn't catch on -- those aren't terrible. To me Mookie looks like he's about to give the oxygen tanks a stir.

    Let’s Talk About These New Uniforms

    I've always preferred this and been confused why Nike went with primary yellow and lettering in blue, when the Boston Marathon logo and apparel were what you're showing above, primary blue with yellow lettering/details. And here the finish line itself is yellow with blue writing, but the...

    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    Sure, I get it, just like my invitation to your birthday party got lost in the mail... Anyway, I know it's only been a few seasons of being mediocre/bad, and it's ironic since the total history of the organization prior to Brady was so bad, but re the uniforms I'm hoping the Pats are going to...

    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    At times this feels like an SAT question: the NFL schedule is to the 2024 Pats season as the the order of deck chairs was to the Titanic. Edit: At least those of us subjecting ourselves to this Patriots season will get to see the throwbacks for at least Rams @ Pats, it seems from this tweet...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    I’ve worried about that. It certainly didn’t sound good that he reported being told this injury was “inevitable” given the way he swung. But defer to other folks who know more about how the body works about whether he risks re-injury unless he changes his swing somehow.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    This is great, thank you! To save folks a click, here's the summary from the link: Running and throwing after 3-4 weeks does seem like it's toward the early end of the timeline, which is great! Hopefully he continues to recover on this schedule and -- I imagine? -- we really get him back...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    So it’s been almost a month. Any updates on Casas? I see he’s at Fenway and watching BP, but haven’t heard anything beyond that. Obviously he’s on the 60 day IL, so he can’t return until late June anyway, I’m just hoping to hear good news.

    Wow. There are DOZENS of fans at the Nats @ White Sox game today. Turns out not a ton of people headed to the ballyard to see a 12-29 team on a Tuesday afternoon. https://x.com/mikedeportes/status/1790483795931472261?s=46&t=6DB7f-vL8rs72lyXNmMD-A

    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    Yeah, Jets @ Pats feels like a good TNF or MNF game -- Rodgers' 1st Jets game at Foxboro, etc.

    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    This could be right! As I've said elsewhere, given the uncertainty on the offensive line and Maye's ongoing development (footwork, etc.), I'm fine if Brissett starts most of the games next year. And I hope Belichick's fate doesn't turn on the performance of the 2024 Patriots. The guy's boat is...

    NFL Schedule Release 2024

    As @snowmanny says, I’ll happily take another top 5 pick. Trade back a bit and pick up picks for the following year, take a true LT, and giddy up in 2025.

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Wow. Roast me later, but I think the Cavs come out desperate, take a small early lead, and then the Cs just wreck them and win by 25+ in a laugher.

    Great news for all of us who don't want to see a gassed Al playing 39 (?) minutes again.

    Plummeting Ticket Prices

    I didn't take Max to be saying the nets were hurting attendance, just pointing out that in 1962 when given the choice people weren't sitting directly behind home and the net, but instead an unobstructed view. I found that interesting. Another explanation, like now, could be that even in 1962...
