But what's the problem there either? Really, you're mad at Danny Ainge. And he's been gone for years.

Trying to understand is not the same thing as blindly endorsing or agreeing.

Sam Lynch @shlynch.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I don't think John is kissing anyone's ass. I think he, like the rest of the Celtics fanbase and really the NBA as a whole, has been trying to figure out what they were possibly thinking. This is some insight into that. It's no different than any other pod for any other team.

I would guess it’s just a fuction of how many people actually read the book. The more that read it, the higher percentage of people giving honest ratings vs being nice to their friend the author.

They could use a 5th QB, I think.

They were 3rd in offensive DVOA in 2022; 7th in 2023.

I suspect he doesn't really need reps. I think he needs functional strength.

I'm just glad for his sake that CJGJ isn't here to try to drive him to tears on the field.

I don't either, but I am certain that he won't get a chance to play this year. Getting blown up in STs drills by the undrafted international program guy likely means he can't be trusted to contribute to a game day roster.

He is certainly going to suffer a season ending injury in the last preseason game.

With Johnson, Elliott and Goedert all uncertain to return in 2027, Mailata and Hurts could be the two longest tenured Eagles after this season.

Yeah, but it's the depths risk getting a little darker with Duran.

Sam Lynch @shlynch.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Your clubhouse will appreciate his stance on vaccines. In all seriousness though, he's a player who can get in his own head. When he's right, he's great, but when things start to slide, he struggles to escape. He's exactly the kind of guy who could really benefit from a change of scenery right now.

A four year extension would run from 2028-2031. The guaranteed money typically includes the current deal, so that's effectively guaranteeing 2026-2029, with two unguaranteed years in 2030 and 2031.

It didn't happen, and it couldn't happen. Elon Musk did not steal the 2024 election in Pennsylvania for Donald Trump. No part of any voting system used in Pennsylvania is ever connected to or permitted on an internet-facing network. www.pa.gov/agencies/vot...

What prevents hackers from accessing voting machines and changing votes?
Voting systems are never connected to the internet, and every vote cast on a voting machine is recorded on a user-verifiable paper ballot. There are multiple layers of defenses to prevent hackers from accessing voting systems. For example, voting systems are kept in secured facilities that can be accessed only by authorized elections personnel. Additionally, the reliability of every voting system is affirmed through Logic & Accuracy testing before every election which is open to the public.

How does Pennsylvania make sure votes were counted correctly?
Starting on the Friday after Election Day, all 67 county boards of elections publicly begin the official computation of election returns. This process includes several reconciliation procedures, including comparing the number of registered voters with the number of ballots cast and opening and checking the reported votes cast from each election district.

In addition, counties conduct two different types of audits after every election to ensure the reported election outcomes are correct:

A 2% statistical audit required by state statute, and
A statewide risk-limiting audit (RLA)
Both audits occur before any results are certified.

Safe and Secure Electronic Systems
The Department of State employs multiple best-practice strategies to ensure the security of our voter registration database and our voting systems, including:

24/7 continuous network monitoring,
firewalls,
data encryption,
password protection,
multi-factor authentication,
independent vulnerability assessments,
continuous network monitoring, and
continuity of operations (COOP) planning.
No part of any voting system used in Pennsylvania is ever connected to or permitted on an internet-facing network.

In addition, all county election boards inspect and test voting and tabulating equipment before each election, then place locks with tamper-evident seals on all voting system access points.

This wasn't your meaning, but I would add that it's interesting that the team led by the most analytics friendly GM just won a Stanly Cup by, in part, emphasizing players with unquantifiable "high compete" levels. Relentless effort at all levels of the org matters.

Yes, they would have liked to do better, but it’s not clear things would be better by waiting.

From here (Boston), looks more like a Celtics situation about to how to build the roster for the next X years than it is about Brown. Centering around two wings in their 30s for the next run is probably a bad call, IMO. A year of Brown trade speculation and hype is not great so rip the band aid off.

Spurs get the better of them and Celts. Then Celts mostly get better of Sixers and Clippers, either outright if they are both middling to good, or in a swap if one of them is bad.

Noah Becker @noahbecker.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

What you are missing is that the Spurs own a pick swap with the Celtics. So it’s really the Spurs pick that the Sixers will get because Wemby is Wemby.

Tom is my friend and--despite his piece in The Millions to the contrary--I will buy and read his upcoming book. Also, if you're reading this and Tom's book (described below) sounds interesting, you should also read his novel How to Be Safe. It is extremely funny and of the moment.

MOVE is such a perfect Philadelphia story, in that there are approximately zero sympathetic adults in the entire story, including in the decades that have followed. From the bombing itself to the embezzlement of rebuilding funds to the misuse of the victims' remains, this one has it all!
