OTM Open Thread 2/7: It is Friday

Happy Friday everyone. We’re still waiting on the outcome of the Mookie Betts deal! I’ll be flying for most of the day, so I would assume something big will happen this afternoon. Keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, we can enjoy some Celtics basketball, as they take on the Hawks in Boston at 7:30 PM ET. There are also a pair of nationally televised NBA games on tonight with the Pacers and Raptors playing at 8:00 PM ET and then the Blazers and Jazz playing at 10:30 PM ET. Those games are on ESPN. There’s college basketball on as well, including a top 20 matchup between Maryland and Illinois at 8:00 PM ET on FS1. Use this space to discuss whatever you’d like. As always, just be nice to each other.

Thing I Like Today

This was a really great piece on a man who left baseball for years, but has come back and built a stronger relationship than ever.
