Simple Minds Sports Saves Sports
That’s right. We’re here to save the day. We fall off the rails quick here under the supervision of Producer Bobby but some how manage to fight through Patriots camp notes, the preseason means dick, some guy that writes for us joins the show; Wyc is playing nice in the media and Drinking Rob smells a rat; Running backs? Who needs em? Some mind blowing “would you rathers” and the Orioles ownership needs to grow a pair.

Will there be anything of note to pull from the game?
How's the playing time shaking out
-The real training camp begins the following week then pats begin 2 weeks combined practices with packers then titans
-What do you need to see in the coming weeks to have you feeling like the pats can compete with the eagles week 1?
-Are the pats ahead of schedule ? Are your expectations for the season now less, the same or higher so far through camp?
-Judon gets paid $$
increased salary form 2 million to 14 million for 2023 and can earn up to 18 mil for the season. All after his very polite hold in.
More locker room management here ?
- Completely under contract for next 2 years did not need to do it. A good sign of faith for the remaining players needed to signed? Uche, Onwenu, Dugger
-Could be a positive sign as pats have history of just letting players walk
Quick Hitters
Trey flowers returns- immediately put on PUP, so they signed a guy that isn't physically ready to play yet, nice. So Trey Flowers and I have something in common.
Joe Mazzoula visited pats training camp this week ; per report Belichick after meeting with mazzoula thinks he’s a fucking loser
Did you know? The Patriots are 60-1 odds to win the Super Bowl this season, their longest odds entering a season since 2001. That year, the Patriots were also 60-1, and they went on to win the Super Bowl. Place your bets now.
NEW SEGMENT !!!
SIMPLE MINDS SAVE SPORTS
Here the boys discuss a topic in the sports which is really grinding our gears and save the sport in the process
First up!
The existence of hockey, just kidding.
The plight of the running back. RB's aren't paid getting no mo! Can this issue be solved? Is there something the players themselves can do in order to reverse this trend? Can the players union. Will the trend eventually swing back like it was before when the RB position was king? What can be done to help the poor RB's having to live off of scraps getting while trucked every play by a linebacker? (Irene's Dream)
-Some Celtics Talk-
-Celtics owner gives an interview were he discusses offseason conversations had with brad stevens and joey maz (bum) . Out of which a mutual agreement was reached that changes were needed, there was inconsistent play past 2 playoffs, and their commitment to the bum (mazzula).
Quotes of note from the interview
“We agreed not to bring back the exact same team again, but to be open to changing the mix and bringing in additional talent,” Grousbeck told the Boston Globe. “And the result of that so far this offseason has been Kristaps Porzingis coming in and really adding hopefully a lot to our lineup.”
“If we’d all agreed we should keep things the same that would have been fine,” Grousbeck. “But the idea of bringing in another talented big popped up early in the conversation, and we ended up executing on that idea.”
Grousbeck reflected on the “missed opportunities” of the past two seasons, acknowledging the Warriors and the Heat were both good teams, but also noting the Celtics play was inconsistent. Coming up short of a championship in back-to-back years, despite such talented rosters, led leadership to consider making significant roster changes that came as a surprise to many.
Grousbeck affirmed his commitment to Joe Mazzulla as head coach, noting that Stevens strongly recommended him for the job after Ime Udoka was suspended just days before training camp.
“Brad feels even more strongly about him now, and I agree,” Grousbeck said. “Joe handled that initial transition and eventually the entire season incredibly well. He’s got world-class intensity, drive and knowledge. He is fully committed to winning a championship with this group. It’s all he thinks about. … Every breath he takes is about making the Celtics better and doing a better job as a coach. He’s all-in.”
-Celtics showing a united front here are you confident in the future of the celtics ?
Would you Rather
Would you rather have your adult mind trapped in your 15 year old body, having to do 15 year old things or 15 in your adult body doing adult things.
Would you rather forgot all existing memories or never be able to make new ones
Would you rather get paid $5 million a year to do the simple minds sports show but have to live in Saudi Arabia or simple minds as is currently.
Would you rather detect all lies from people or people always believe your lies
Would you rather eat whatever you want and stay fit or never sleep and be full of energy
Would you rather have a person who's full time job is to troll you online or follow you around and heckle you in person.
