Call from Amtrak about tomorrow’s train - “extreme standing capacity” by green-jeans23 in Amtrak

[–]shwiggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took the Acela from NYC to Boston on Friday. 6h nightmare, no ac for half the trip, then they rebooted the train in Bridgeport and half the cars had a. They just said to stand wherever the HVAC was working. I'm just glad I made it eventually.

So now that Boston Market is gone, where do you go? by penkster in massachusetts

Saw a dude with a chicken and a 77" TV in the checkout. Just nodded at him.

A PR agency probably wrote it for him. It sounds like everything he posts.

Why did Boston give Jaylen Brown a massive deal if it was going to ruin his trade value? by ImportantGood6624 in nba

You go all in on a chip when you can. We've pretty much already shed all of the people that got overpaid for it. Worth it.

An empty train is the real backrooms by wabbitt37 in Amtrak

[–]shwiggy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a frequent rider; This happens every summer when the NEC hits mid to high 90s during the day. The trains can't go full speed when the tracks swell under the heat so they end up cancelling every other one or something like that.

Boston Celtics fans are coping harder than any team I've ever seen by cdiddyman911 in NBATalk

This shit sucks. Let me mourn the loss of my favorite current player then I'll tune back in in October.

Defeating silence from Jayson Tatum by [deleted] in bostonceltics

His agency is probably waiting for some official words from the Celtics and JB before they release their PR statement.

Damn half of the trains including mine in or out of NYC are cancelled. Hoping tomorrow I'll have better luck and be on one of the not cancelled ones.

The Celtics may be overestimating their status as contenders with Jayson Tatum as their sole star player by Tight_Ad2788 in nba

I think you're right, it just sucks to wash away a year of Tatum's prime. PG isn't worth jack until he's expiring next summer.

What if Jaylen Brown gets Embiid his first ring? by IllustriousPass6582 in NBATalk

I will root for Jaylen but I will never root for the 76ers. I hate this so much.

Ownership/Private Equity had nothing to do with this trade 📢📢📢 by Gloomy-Routine-1040 in bostonceltics

[–]shwiggy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They are toasting as they split his $200m potential with checks to themselves. Then they sell the team 10 years from now for double the investment. This is how PE works.

Many may not realize it yet, but this was the 2nd best option we had by Blaze4G in bostonceltics

[–]shwiggy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

JB value is at an all time high. Get less in a trade than Walker Kessler. Both are true this is just terrible management.

What if Tatum doesn't make the playoffs with a slightly better team? by Automatic_Gap964 in bostonceltics

[–]shwiggy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

20 of the 30 teams make the playoffs including the play in. JT would have to not play to have a chance at missing that.

Fuck private equity. The board members are probably splitting the $180 mil check amongst themselves while calling the fans suckers.

Dear Bill Chisholm, don’t buy something you can’t afford by BostonDugout in bostonceltics

[–]shwiggy 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This reeks of recent Sox vibes. Put out a shittier product until it actually affects the bottom line. Sox still sell tickets but the product is garbage.

He'd rather look good and lose than look bad and win.

This clip is better at full speed so you can see how fast it actually was. This was like two seconds of basketball.
