Best team in the fucking league, anything less than sweeping the Lakers is a bust.

Little League World Series

feeds@yuku.com (MLBDreams) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:31:11 GMT

Does you enjoy by watching the Little League World Series @ Williamsport, PA on ESPN2 in every late August? Only few make it to MLB level (aka Jason Bay, Jason Varitek & others). I'm sure some of you (probably few posters) being grandfather, dad, uncle & oldest brother that have kids/nephews/youngest brother playing LL.

Last time the representive team from New England that won LL WS was Trumbell, Ct (P-Chris Drury, now playing NHL for the Rangers). That was long time...

Antitrust Case Could Change the Landscape of American Sports

"All of those scenarios, in fact, could become realities if the NFL triumphs in a case now under consideration in the U.S. Supreme Court. Experts agree that the case known as American Needle vs. NFL could easily be the most significant legal turning point in the history of American sports. If the high court rules in favor of the NFL, the development will be...

New Fantasy Site

feeds@yuku.com (Lippa91) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 09:11:17 GMT
Hey guys, just thought I'd pass along a new site I found for fantasy sports called fantrax.com. It's fairly new, seems like it will have a lot of great features, and best of all, all leagues are free. For those running leagues, it looks like it's going to be comparable to CBS in its league hosting services, less the cost and crap of having to deal with CBS. For those that use Yahoo, the interface seems a lot cleaner, and the player...

Fantasy Baseball

feeds@yuku.com (norbit14) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 09:09:29 GMT
Am thinking about creating a Yahoo league and I was wondering who was up for that at least 10 people have to be available for this.

- You have to be able to at least set your line-ups everyday.
- If your team is at the bottom you'll have to stick with it.
- Be trade/waiver wire active.
- Talk smack so people don't get bored.

Fantasy Impact Rookies

I've had some success in the past years feeling out posters on this board for rookies who people thoght may make a fantasy impact going into the baseball season...thought I'd try again. Its always nice to go into the season with your eyes on a few players...guys like Papelbon, Verlander, Braun, Longoria have been such huge midseason snags if you could get 'em. This year I think everyone and their mother knows about Weiters and Price. I heard Cam Maybin may potentially be...

Money B-ball

Completely off the beaten track but those of you who haven't read Michael Lewis' Moneyball may still be wondering what the buzz was about. Well his combination of great writing and a very enticing subject - defensive chops in basketball - have once again come together in a brand new piece of work at the NY Times. It's a fascinating read.

2009 Patriots Offseason

feeds@yuku.com (TEXS31) — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 10:23:49 GMT
I know there are still football games to be played but since we have to look forward to next season (and now that the underclassmen have all filed) I figured I'd start a new thread. Let's use this to discuss the Pats draft plans and any potential FA acquisitions/losses.

Of course, the topics at the top of most people's minds are likely:

1. Matt Cassel (in case you've been asleep, it sounds like they will use the franchise tag on him)
2. Staff...

Boxing Thread

I love the sweet science.

Tonight seemed like an appropriate time to start a thread dedicated to boxing. De La Hoya is such a bitch. He got DESTROYED by Pac-Man tonight. Absolutely destroyed. It's a joke that one of the judges gave a round to DLH. DLH has been my least favorite boxer for a long time, and I'm very pleased with the outcome tonight.�The Mexicutioner claims another victim. At least Manny knows a winning team when he sees one.�Manny! Manny! Manny!

We had a pretty decent NBA thread going last season... anyone interested in a Soxprospects fantasy basketball league? We'd do a free league on Yahoo!

Need 12... any takers?

This guy is amazing he just won his 8 gold medal. 7 of which came with world records and 1 with an Olympic record. He has 14 gold medals in his pocket and yes he is only 23. In total he has 16 medals which is more than a few big nations combined. For the people who say that what Mark Spitz did was more amazing f off his times are more than 10 secs what Spitz ever did.

Boston Sports Media Approval Ratings

Last week the guys over at Boston Sports Media Watch published their polls results rating approximately 75 of Boston's sports media personalties. I think it makes for some interesting discussion. I'm going to start this thread off in the main forum and then move it to the Boston Sports (Non-Red Sox) Sub-Forum.

2008 NBA Draft/Offseason

feeds@yuku.com (TEXS31) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:43:40 GMT

It seems so weird that a) the NBA draft is already upon us and b) we're not talking about what the C's should do in the lottery.

Of course, this year's draft won't be that interesting from the Celtics point of view but I thought, since we have some good NBA fans on here, it might be interesting to have some discussion.

For the C's, I was so sure that they'd want to go international. Get a guy with upside and store him oversees (develop withough...

Alright, so who else is watching? I've recently gotten into it within the last few months and I'm hooked. UFC 85 is coming up on Saturday, who's watching? I'm psyched because I've never gotten to see Hughes fight and I like Bisping.

Anyone want the craptastic Elite XC with Kimbo Slice and the Rupturing Alien Cauliflower Ear? Waste of download bandwidth. The WEC event the next day was 100x better. The Torres/Maeda fight was one of the best I've seen in...

2008 Patriots Draft Discussion

feeds@yuku.com (TEXS31) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:54:12 GMT
I probably get overly excited for the NFL draft but at least I can admit it. Anyway, thought I'd open a discussion about what the Pats will/should do. I think many people feel the Pats should trade down. I'm starting to get worried that it won't happen if the "target" players for other teams are already gone by #7. I can easily see the following scenario:

1. Miami - Jake Long (as most of you know, this is a done deal)
2. St Louis - Glenn Dorsey
3....
