They’ve got whatever virulent brain disease makes everyone even vaguely associated with the city of Boston believe that anything done or experienced or said or thought by anyone even vaguely associated with the city of Boston automatically qualifies as something everyone else must know about and care about.

I’m 100% with you on just about all of this. As a Celtics fan I got so much more joy out of the young, scrappy Celtics of the last couple years than I ever did with that group of psychopaths in ‘08-’09.
That being said if anyone talks shit about Paul Pierce I WILL KNIFE YOU SO HELP ME
“That’s how literally every NBA season has ended: With a very good team winning a championship.” While this is true, it’s the NBA, so only championships won by the Lakers, Celtics, and Knicks actually matter. It’s cute when other teams win but they don’t count.
This is just a symptom of the fact that “national” media means “Northeast & SoCal only” which is especially prevalent in sports media, though pretty common in politics as well.
When you consider that 1/8 of the American population comes from California, and another 3/8's of Americans come from the northeast, it’s only…
Mattingly probably gave the okay to do the plunking in the first place. Or at least condoned it. He’s one of those unwritten rules dips. Frankly, this reeks of being able to dish it out but not take it.
Until the MLB starts issuing fines/auto-suspensions for every plunk or plunk-attempt, I’m okay with the Braves hitting every damn Marlins player in order.

Two things: The guy who masterminded all the shitty moves that left the team as a broken organization.... he’s still the general manager.
He said “4 hall of famers w/ another one on the way,” which is Boogie unless you’re super high on Jonas Jerebko or actually are Jonas Jerebko.
I really don’t know at this point. Its getting rather silly.
Maybe he and War Machine can get some sort of prison MMA league going.
I’m waiting for him to sell advertising space on the backs of the players’ jerseys during “Players’ Weekend.” I want to hear a double play call of “Drink RC Cola” to “Fly United Airlines” to “Mentos-The Freshmaker.” Oh, man, or maybe, “If Your Peach Keeps Out of Reach” to “Better Practice What We Preach” to “Burma…
Just another day in Shreveport...
Harbs should be able to give a comment about any issues or concerns that were present when Durkin was his defensive coordinator. That doesn’t seem remotely out of bounds.
We’re really gonna milk the slacks jokes, huh?
It seems relevant to find out if he was a tyrant when he was assisting Harbaugh, and if Harbaugh was OK with it and just got lucky no one died from it until he was no longer responsible.
I’ll admit. I’d be totally willing to forgive Durkin if he had a list of things that players were barred from doing and called it Durkin DoNots
I was really hoping that Deadspin would do a deeper dive into the whole culture, set from the top down, at the university. After watching that cover your ass press conference from the university’s president and AD, which came two months too late, I’m shocked that the national media seemed fine with it and are still…
