Beyond the money (which admittedly at that price is pretty impossible to turn away) Hurley is signing up for a job in which he'd be the 4th guy to lead the Lakers in the last seven years. That's less than a 2-year shelf life on average.

After last night's loss to the Braves, the Sox are now 30-31 this year and more importantly 5-17 against teams more than five games over .500. They're a rather forgettable club meaning they'll likely get one representative - because they have to.

When asked if the Red Sox have overperformed through 56 games, Sam Kennedy replied, "if anything, we've underperformed just given the talent and competitiveness in that clubhouse."

The Boston Celtics are four wins away from being undeniable. They've been questioned and belittled all year, but with four more wins, they will complete one of the most dominant seasons ever played in NBA history.

For a team that was projected to win around 77 games, they're currently on an 84-win pace. So, while you won't exactly excite people with 84 wins, they're proving better than expected so far.

For a rivalry to be at its best, you need two teams either at the peak of their powers or with a long standing history of hatred. The former immediately removes the Sox and New England Patriots from the conversation. The latter is hard to come by in today's age of athlete, where everyone seems "buddy buddy" with each other.

Is a 21-20 baseball team worth turning to after the excitement of the playoffs? Or, like Sox' ownership, are you punting on this Red Sox season?

Officiating is always under the microscope in sports. That's because if an official is being noticed, it means a call has been made, and chances are 50% of the people watching the game are displeased to say the least.

The Sox have certainly surprised as a team through the first month, but which individual effort has been the biggest pleasant surprise?

Against all odds, injuries, and their own string of errors, the Red Sox are 13-10 one month into the 2024 MLB season.
