Forum Post: Jason Collins reveals he is gay
If you read the SI article, part of JC's rationale for annoucing that he's gay - and clearly he was ambivalent about coming out - is to get ahead of the TMZs of the world that would revel in making hi more »

Forum Post: Jason Collins reveals he is gay
I'd like to agree with the "what you do in your own bedroom is your own business" crowd because I truly don't care if you're gay, straight or otherwise. It's TMI to me. But then I consider that ther more »

In response to coolade2's comment: As soon as he clears waivers, BB WILL SIGN TEBOW. the most obvious reason nobody has mentioned is because he was a jet. also because he will get him at half price. more »

Forum Post: Tebow released by Jets
I honestly cannot imagine where he ends up, except maybe to a team like the Jags. With Blaine Gabbert and Henne, what do they have to lose?

Forum Post: Draft Thoughts
Say this about the Pats' draft picks - all fill a need and all add competition at positions where there is room for improvement. I can't lie and say I've heard of every player they drafted, but I can more »

Forum Post: This draft is horrible so far!
It's not a sexy draft, no big names, but at least they're addressing positions of need with a WR, a versatile LB and CB/S depth.

Forum Post: Pats defense will be elite in 2013
They should be better, but it really depends on a number of young guys stepping up and if the FA signings work as anticipated. You'd think Jones, Hightower and Dennard in year 2 should be better, and more »

Forum Post: ***The Greatest College Football Player That I've Seen In My Lifetime Is...***
I'd agree on Sanders. And as stated by others, if he played on a team where he had a few other weapons around him and an OL he probably could have made a run for 2,500 yards.

Forum Post: We all knew in our hearts that we weren't picking at #29,but did you think we would get 4 picks for 1?
I think the trade was worth it. If there were no sureshot prospects on the Pats' board and if they think they can get a good player in the 2nd round - fine. They have unearthed some gems as of late more »

Forum Post: I feel a draft..
The whole Mallet thing is a bit of a wildcard, but with Barkley and Smith still there you'd have to think a trade is a bit less likely.

I am sort of embarrased that Neil Diamond is now synonymous with Boston. Why??? Because the Red Sox want to appease pink hats?

Forum Post: Ben's bridge to nowhere has been graded as structurally deficient
The ridiculous thing about this post is that the Sox have the 2nd best record in the majors (?). They have veteran guys who were slightly overpaid to man the shop while prospects develop and while th more »

Bailey got an incomplete grade last year, obviously. The returns this year are promising and timely given Hanrahan's performance. I wonder how Farrel will address the situation once Hanny comes off more »

Forum Post: CBA provides a reason why BB might not trade out of the 1st
Good points PE. So it seems there is a bit of a disincentive to trading back into the 2nd due to the extra year of control for a 1st. The other side of the coin is that you could get two similarly r more »

OP, did you see the Superbowl, where all-world RB Ray Rice fumbled and lost it? He fumbled twice in the playoffs and lost both. He also averaged 3.6 YPC. By comparison, Ridley lost 1 fumble after a more »

Ridley had a good season and that fumble against the Ravens was due to extra effort. Can't fault him for taking a devastating hit while trying for extra yardage. People getting on Ridley for that fu more »
