Re: NFL Preseason Football Thread 2014 (Because we can!)
Patriots trade all-pro lineman Logan Mankins to Tampa Bay for TE Tim Wright (who?) and a draft pick. Smacks of a salary cap move to me. Whenever I see Mankins' name I think of the various times I've read McButterpants slobbering over him. Also he's not going to be back next year, need TE depth more...

Re: NBA Draft/Offseason
I think the perception of tanking is more of an issue for promoting the entire league. As a Celtics fan, I was okay with them tanking, but it's tough to like a league where so many teams are intentionally bad. I figure that has some sort of financial impact on the league.
