The Patriots are slow playing the off season and no one is happy about it except PVO Mitch. Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, and the biggest Free Agency moves across the league. Pube hands, Diaz gets Gramatica’d and the Thumbs Down is back!

Celtics Chat with Jack Simone of How bout them C's, Celtics Blog, Heavy
Jack, what us off the edge
6 - 5 since All star break
Losses to Knicks, Nets, Rockets
- Struggling against Hawks and Timberwolves
* lost #1 seed. Barely hanging on to 2 seed
Biggest problems with the Celtics?
Tatum
- Looks uninterested. Cant shoot. Still cant finish. Turnovers late.
- John Karalis believes Kyrie's evil scum is still playing a part.
Late Game mentality and execution
- Do they not have the experience or balls?
Coaching
- Joey Mazz shaking it up vs Minn. Does he have the sack to make the right calls? Doe he know hwo t make the right calls
Rebounding, timely stops, turnovers
Marcus Smart -
- Shooting 33% from 3. Shoot 5.4 per game. All of them seemingly in the 4th. 41% FG. Doesn't play defense anymore.
* Hows your boy Grant?
Do you have a long term fear with this group?
- Is this the best roster talentwise they will have for a long time
- Tatum not "THE GUY"
- Jaylen Brown Flight risk
Expectations for the end of the season?
HEADLINES with The OBVIOUS ONE
Would you rather
Lamar Jackson on the Past competing, but never win a Super Bowl
or
Tank with Bailey Zappe and find the next guy in the draft
Bonus or ....
Trade the #14 pick for Jerry Jeudy/ Courtland Sutton
or
Select JSN from Ohio State at #14
Pay Jalen Brown the Super max and rely on Tatum and Brown getting over the hump
or
Sign/ Trade for a Super Star to replace Brown
Have your hands covered in pubes
or
bunch of little hands for pubes
Would you rather have your farts be super loud and smell like nothing or be silent and smell HORRIBLE?

Patriots Free Agency
Miguel Benzan Patriots Cap Space Equals 19,955,659
3/16/23 9:45 AM EDT update - My Patriots salary cap space number is $19,955,659 - a $222,500 decrease from my last update. There are two transactions that need to be accounted for. They are: Calvin Anderson signing James Robinson signing
Last checked - still last in cash spending.
·
The #Patriots currently hold the 5th-most cap space in the NFL ($28.4 million) and rank last by active cash spending for 2023, per Over The Cap. The gap between the Pats and the 20th-ranked team in active cash spending is the same gap between that team and the top-ranked Browns.
Or 13th
