@FightMass Leaving off *both* Johnny Appleseed and UMass legend Jonathan Hernandez is nasty work

Ladies and gentlemen, the UMass athletics experience:

WMUA reported a few months back that there will be new LED lights around the advertising banners. I can confirm that reporting. However, those new lights may not be installed by the first home game on September 12 vs. Sacred Heart (FCS).

David Ortiz - 10/13/13

@HurleyMania @bangingdownlow2 They obviously should’ve held onto Harrison and Tibbs, but in hindsight, the Sox won that trade by offloading the contract of a dude who no longer was worth the headache and couldn’t play a lick of big league caliber defense. Having a full time DH is a thing of the past.

[Corey Schneider @lifeofschneids]

@HurleyMania @bangingdownlow2 “Making it work” required moving off 3B, where he was the biggest liability in baseball. He refused.

So what were the Sox supposed to do? Build around a guy who, two years into $313.5M, decided that constantly booting balls at third mattered more to him than winning ballgames?

[Corey Schneider @lifeofschneids]

@HurleyMania @bangingdownlow2 *Grown man* making $25M a year, “treated like shit” by the team that had just handed him the largest contract in franchise history.

Did Bres & Friends botch that? Obviously. Nobody arguing that. Did Rafi act like a professional? Ahhhh no. Both things can be/are true.

The last two decades have seen a complete inversion of MLB’s incentive structure. It’s now more profitable for most teams to lose and pocket revenue sharing, than push their chips in and try to win.

We investigated how this happened with our friends @MorePerfectUS

@augustofstache ‘How’s that on me?’ is the disease. Can’t hack it in NFL, pad stats vs college kids, inflate stock, cash in twice. 99.9% of guys would kill for your spot. You’ve got it and you’re looking for the exit, not competing. Wouldn’t want a guy like that around my college or NFL program

Covid broke something in this country.

An entire generation came out the other side of it with *zero* self awareness or capacity for embarrassment in their actions. We live in a post-accountability society and it’s on display every single day now in “big time” college athletics

[Matt Zenitz @mzenitz]

Cleveland Browns tight end Dae’Quan Wright has entered the college transfer portal, @chris_hummer and I have learned.

The former Ole Miss star is currently on the Browns’ roster.

[Corey Schneider @lifeofschneids]

@MassSharp Leagues need to make this clear: leave your franchise because you can’t hack it as a pro and a big NIL payday’s calling….fine. But you’re only coming back via a supplemental draft and/or a non-guaranteed contract. And who wants a guy like that in the huddle anyway? Not me.

@CurryHicksSage The amount of work ‘struggles’ is doing here is nothing short of legendary

[Corey Schneider @lifeofschneids]

@CapeSummerBall @aria_gerson There’s a real cultural issue in summer ball, but it’s most glaring with the Cape given its status.

Travel ball culture sucks. Paired with an unregulated transfer portal wrecking college athletics, we’re left with entitlement and dwindling interest in competing against the best.

Having gambling adds on the wall in the Field of Dreams game is a tough break for Shoeless Joe Jackson

[Corey Schneider @lifeofschneids]

@BostonBBJournal Isn’t he in the Sox HOF? I’m just saying that 21 is functionally retired by the team, but it’s never going to be *officially* retired and hanging on the right field facade.

[Corey Schneider @lifeofschneids]

@TitleTalkShow @SharpFootball Warren Sharp thinks this is a bad rep by Will Campbell? Based on….what?

The DE *does not* get by Will Campbell and he commits literal textbook hands to the face. The goal is to get the quarterback on the ground before he gets rid of the football without drawing a penalty.

[Corey Schneider @lifeofschneids]

@TheSportsJD @Zig2K @CurryHicksSage Only 30 teams that don’t become available very often….scarcity asset backed by a new $80B league media deal and a *very* hard cap.

Selling the Lakers to the brother of the presidents accomplice-in-law is certainly one way to make a federal investigation go away….
