IF the Police were going to make any more arrests they would have happened by now. No need to worry about players getting arrested at this point. The hearings will likely get continued perhaps a couple more times while they hash something out between the lawyers. Eventually Ty will get a small fine...

Can we not rehash the Penn state case for the nth time? It's become the Watergate of college sports in the sense it overshadows alot of interesting history and accomplishments. Like Watergate The "who knew what and when?" debates will go on for ages i suspect. I just can''t believe litte R...

Wow this sucks. I was badly injured last year and would have a difficult time getting up to my seat. Upon at last arriving at my seats seeing those signs about Kelloggs Hair, or Wil Wade in a NCSU hat always made me smile and forget the damn pain for a minute. I find it amusing she worked at Syracus...

Kingston is pretty spot on here. I'm much more embarrassed by the reaction of some of our posters to the police report than I am of anything Ty did. As we knew before we read the report, there was a commotion, Ty got involved to try to keep the player out of trouble, the cops overreacted and arrest...

Get drunk and disorderly in a public space. Draw police attention Don't listen to cop commands to calm down and disperse. Continue to act up and defy authority Amazing how people can complain about someone getting arrested if the above is true. I guarantee the cops don't want to deal with the BS of ...

interesting how with the Indians streak the Sox red Hot finish (like 15 of last 18 games won now) has gone 100% under the radar. ESPN power rankings even had us dropping spot to the cubs who are 4 games behind us despite a crap division and the sox not losing a game in the last week,

Cox no longer even roadcasts games anymore.

Last year all the non CBSN, NBCSN, ESPN, ect.. games were broadcast in an amazingly shoddy stream online.

For some reason incidents like these always make me wonder if a school can give players say i7 desktops with rx 580s as ya know, like, educational machines. Maybe with an VR headset for more interactive educational experiences.

EGram

Given these Migos guys reputation and previous problems at their concerts i am surprised the team would not strongly encourage players not to attend at the very least.

If nothing else it seems a total failure of the team administration.

EGram

Depends on how the cops wanna respond. BTW, why are they not mentioning the players name? he is an adult accused of a crime after all.. They could throw the book at him, dmg to property, resisting arrest, obstructing justice, assaulting a police officer.... def could really screw this player if they...

Do we know for sure Amir is related to Jermaine? If so, gotta figure or chances are much better then i figured a few weeks ago. I hate to denigrate schools but who on earth would want to live in West Virginia willingly for most of the next half decade? Maryland is the school that really worries me...

EGram

After today all us Pats fans can exhale now...

All those injuries to WRs and Gronk is scary tho. We badly need Amendola and Mitchell back.

Wise looks like a total steal in the 4th rd. 2 sacks in games so far and basically our best DL imo.

MMA is just as bad if not worse. Look at the recent Werdum vs Overreem fight. First two rounds are both very cose, boring rounds.3rd round Werdum dominates and only failed to finish because he bizarrely took down Reem who was nearly out on his feet by that point. MMA/Boxing needs a new scoring syste...

GGG Vs Canelo was a Robbery....

I hate to say it but teddy atlas is right is was simply corruption and the "money fight" nonsense .. NSCAC would not allow golden goose Canelo to be cooked by an eastern European with little commercial appeal.

BTW would any be interested in an MMA thread?

Not trying to say having family or career does not have it;s own joys. They are just different joys then the one's many of us hoped for as a kid.

5 Schools willing to pay players agents to recruit.... Rough to include Dayton and SH in that group. I don't know anything bout Dayton but some of my fathers friends are Seton Hall Alumni/booster types. Growing up i spent a decent amount of time around them and would often go to SH games as they we...

Totally agree with Rod. Essentially allowing players to xfer anywhere/anytime would cause total chaos. Not to mention more corruption. It would be like European soccer. Where players make "long term commitments" to a club then try to jump ship at the first opportunity, Just like European F...

Sorry everyone. They gave me a small script of xanax and Percodan after a minor surgery i had. Guess it affected me more then i realized.

Nonsensical garbage.

So, since this thread is getting cleaned up later. Anyways The whole "David Duke in RI" made me think of a video a friend send me a few months ago of a Rhode Island comedy troupe's skit about Pick up Artists. (VIDEO IS SUPER NSFW BTW) but the David Duke line is hilarious. https://youtu.be/...

fwiw i do remember some other posters mentioning Expressions roster has been considered a bit down on talent the past year or two. Anyways, he still plays on one of the better AAU teams in the North East and i guess he is in a good HS league also. Although i admittedly know almost nothing about HS b...

I really hope E.C Improves his senior year. he clearly has lots of talent and guys often take two full years to recover fully from ACL injuries. Right now i can't argue with not ranking him among the elite of college basketball. Mostly because of a few things he really needs to improve on. He is tot...

EGram

I wonder if they knew about the Red Shirt this when that Forward from Ossining New York, (Obiadiah?) seemed to want to come here before finally accepting Daytons offer?

EGram

NRF totally agree with you on our value vs Uconn.

Based on what Uconn gets i imagine we likely get free equipment from Adidas and maybe a small sum of money in the 5 figure per year area.

EGram

Interesting it's mostly "in kind" with Jerseys and equipment making up 70% of the total value if i'm reading it right!

It's been mentioned URI seems to have reuped with Adidas. I doubt the contract details will be made public.

Speaking of Cheringtons mistakes. Jed Lowrie would be a really good addition for the team. Not only would he be a really nice upgrade at 3b but he is cheap, can play SS, 2b, or 3b, and comes with a team option for 6m next year. He could be a great super IF sub next year as well as insurance incase D...

Like i said in the schedule thread it's just dumb to play so few away games given how valuable Road wins are in getting in the Tourny. Hopefully we beat Alabama and don't get burned by playing 90% ooc home games nest year.. Overall this should be good for us as it encourages better teams to play at ...

Cs finishing up a deal of Avery Bradley to Pistons for Marcus Morris. This will allow them the salary room to sign Hayward as Morris is on a very reasonable contract with 2 ears left at 5m per yr. Morris looks like a stretch 4 who offers little help defensively. Not much of a rebounder either. 14ppg...

I never understood the hate for that Pomeranz deal personally. While its impossible to say who "won" that deal for another few years. I do think trading a 18yr old sub 6ft pitcher in low a ball for a good, cheap mlb starter under contract for 2 1/2th years is often going to be a pretty goo...

Oh, sorry i've been checking that thread every week or two but i guess i missed it. my bad.

So my father came over for dinner today and told me he read in the Independent the Team was canceling it's trip to Europe as the players are worried abut recent events in London and Paris (terrorism i assume). Instead they are going to the Bahamas. Interestingly a quick google search reveals the Bah...

EGram

Price was good the other night and if he can continue to pitch well i don't really care about how he deals with the media.

EGram

I hope we dont trade Smart but if Hayward wanted a max contract we cant just trade Rozier and have to ditch a core player.

Sucks we are losing Kelly but it could be very interesting to see how this team does next year. We have so many Wings now it's a bit nuts.

EGram

So apparently it seems Hayward was gonna sign wit the Celtics but is now pissed it got leaked.

idk, seems a pretty dumb reason to change your mind but i guess we shall see.... someone on reddit says he won't decide till tomorrow now..

EGram

Shame our Future clipper pick is lottery protected. Starting to think it s unlikely to activate in 19 or 20. I really like the idea of getting Paul George. Unlike Butler he is an excellent 3pt shooter who also dominates the ball less. IF Celtics can get him to resign that would be a sweet move. Gott...

EGram

I don't dislike he tatum pick. but I do think ainge beter hope he really pans out as I feel we may regret passing on Fultz, smith, and Ball for him. Ojeyele seemed like a pretty good pick in the 2nd round. 6ft 8 dude who shot 42% from 3pt range. But wow we just have too many wings.. I bet Danny is s...

EGram

Anyone have any guys they want the Celtics to take a shot at in the second round? we have two three picks 37,41,and 56 I or something close to that. Sindarius Thornwell interests me. if his Senior year is legit there is no way he should be lasting beyond pick 15-20 or so. Ryan Leaf would be worth a ...

EGram

Boston Herald and some other sources saying Celtics interested in Dennis Smith and may trade down slightly to get more value. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2717 ... trade-back

Sounds Like its gonna be Smith or Tatum.

EGram

Surprised Iona is not interested.

I graduated from Iona college and the prep school is considered one of the best in the nation academically but I don't recall it being much known for basketball. Must be a pretty smart kid.

EGram

SG that was my first thought also about Griffin but looking at his numbers he's actually changed his game a ton over the years just few who weren't watching the Clips all the time noticed as his numbers pretty much stayed the same. Griffin is one of the most skilled big men in he game and is pretty ...

RJ reports last night said Chicago offered Celtics Butler for the #3 pick straight up we turned them down. If we could get Butler for the Lakers/kings pick + Crowder, or another draft pick (non Brooklyn) + trade Crowder and sign Blake Griffin (I don't think Hayward makes much sense with Butler on th...

This guy wrote a rather long write up of what he sees a the tier 1 and 2 prospects of the draft. https://capstrategist.com/2017/06/20/2017-draft-big-board-tiers-1-and-2/ Has Fultz, Smith, followed by Ball at 1-3. With Jackson and Tatum at 6-7. I thought it was interesting seeing how well prospects s...

EGram

Lonzo Ball or Tatum would both be fine. Jackson would also be a solid pick if the Celtcs feel his shooting can improve. Dark horse for me is Dennis Smith. He is the only prospect the Celtics have had visit twice so they clearly have some interest. His second visit ended right before the rumours of t...

Down the stretch Hurley would at times takes our Iverson and Martin leaving in Cyril + 4 guards. What they would do is try to space the team all over half court.
