Stuff like this is why he’s “only” the third best player ever.  MJ and Kareem never pulled this and doubled up his ring count

I am a Pats fan so obviously I’m a bit biased but I do think the Edelman call was easy. There’s 1 angle where you can tell it clearly doesn’t touch his arm at all then another angle that you can see that it clearly doesn’t touch his gloves (out of pure luck because he was definitely trying to grab it!) With those…

I don’t like him but Paul Ryan at least had the balls to call Trump the conman dirtbag he was.  He fell in line like all the rest but he at least briefly showed some backbone.  Mitch didn’t fall in line, he lead the line with a smile on his face and a freshly shined shell.

No. Mitch has accomplished a lot. He’s single handedly done more for the Republican party than anyone since Reagan.  We’ll spend a generation, if not more, working to undo what this trash turtle has done.

I believe they already have that. It’s just called Deadspin.

speaking of old teammates, I give it another 2 years before he decides his dad shoots too much and joins the Warriors.

Come on. They are in Pennsylvania. That’s a real state, just shortened. That’s as lazy as Joe Paterno “trying” to protect children.

Honestly, this is super dangerous because we are boned if the Republicans keep doing this.

Sure but what if no one wants to pay him the supposed $200M plus and they figured it’d be a waste of everyone’s time to throw out a 5-$150 JD Martinez kinda deal?  Is that collusion or just not wanting to spend at that level on that player?

But is it collusion if teams individually and alone decided that they didn’t want to go to $300-$4ooM on a player that I haven’t heard the most flattering things about personality wise when, unlike the NBA or even the NFL (QBs and elite defensive players only,) where 1 player doesn’t make or break a team’s ability to…

Follow me for a second here but maaaaaybe, the economics of a game where the contracts are absurd for the best players and its popularity is, at best, 2B to the NBA for national preference, are catching up, and 10 year, $200M deals may not be the best bet when even the superduperstars don’t guarantee playoff…

Are you legit blaming Marcus Smart for getting fouled and falling? You can see him get hit and his momentum change in the air.

Right.  And also Harper turned down a reported $300M so it’s not like they’re getting lowballed.

No. As someone who lives just outside of Boston and listens to sports radio most of the day, our fans are different. Sox and Pats fans are outright in your face, pariah complex in spite of being dynasties (or damn close to it in the case of the Sox) whereas Celtics fans were much more appreciative of the ride and not,…

I’m a diehard Cs fan too. I think it’s gonna take Tatum with how Brown’s played this year and, assuming we can keep either Jaylen or whatever players we use the Memphis/Kings picks on, I’m doing it and hopefully throwing the money earmarked for Tatum at Morris on a shorter term deal.  He’s gonna get like $20M per.  If…

I don’t think Kyrie didn’t want to play with other guys - he didn’t want to play with LeBron.

Some major issues with your scenario that hurt me as a diehard Celtics fan.

I agree with everything you say except the comp. He’s not evolutionary Tim Duncan, he’s the closest thing we’ve ever seen to a sane KG clone.

Can’t happen til the summer once Kyrie is extended so there aren’t 2 Rose Rule guys on the same team so not only is there an issue but fixing it immediately makes it that much harder to achieve our end goal of getting AD.  Please God don’t let Kyrie change his mind and leave...

I barely remembered that Coldplay was performing at all.
