brady’s gone soft?

In Patriots-related news, this article from Dan Shaughnessy in the Globe this morning had me rolling: Brady’s gone soft
Favorite excerpts:
…he’s a football player, damn it. And it is not OK for him to be photographed like a little boy eating mushy food spooned out of a Gerber jar.
It’s like watching Jeter morph into A-Rod. Brady [...]

gary payton can suck it

From Boston.com:
Former Celtic Gary Payton disputed Garnett’s All-Star selection during a TNT telecast Thursday. “Garnett shouldn’t be starting,” Payton said. “Some guys out there are playing better than him and [Allen Iverson]. [Chris] Bosh would take [Garnett's] spot; he’s playing way better than him. We are talking about a guy consistently performing every night; [Garnett [...]

celtics afterthoughts: you just beat two florida teams, what are you going to do? i’m going to disneyworld!

Celtics @ Magic 90-80
From ESPN.com: The Orlando Magic had the Eastern Conference’s best record coming in but dropped to third behind Boston and Cleveland with Thursday’s loss.
Yes! I wasn’t drinking the kool-aid on the Magic like many people, so this game didn’t surprise me. I’ve been watching them for a few years now and though [...]

celtics duringthegamethoughts: come out, come out wherever you are

Celtics @ Miami – in progress
I am breaking my long established tradition of blogging ‘afterthoughts’ three days after the game has been played (haha) to say this…
Dear Miami Fans,
The Celtics are insulted. Your team, the Miami Heat, is playing the freakin World Champs tonight and you can’t be bothered to show up? What the hell [...]

celtics afterthoughts: suddenly the underdog

Celtics v. Suns 104-87
This game got out of control fast. The Celtics were firing on all cylinders, which was good to see. I wish I could say that I’m a diehard enough fan that I watched every second of this game with unwavering intensity, but that would be a lie. As soon as it became [...]

celtics afterthoughts: that’s the way, uh huh, uh huh, i like it

Celtics 118 v. Nets 86

Ah yes, now I remember what it was like watching games during the streak. So much more fun. There were a few notable highlights from the game, not the least of which was a real honest to goodness DUNK from Brian Scalabrine. Yes, you read that right. It was glorious. Another thing [...]

happy birthday loml, james posey!

I was going to post another “celtics afterthoughts” which was going to include the Cavs game and both Raps games, but don’t really have the energy. 1) The Cavs played a great game and won 2) and then we killed the Raps at home and away. The end.
In other exciting news, today is the day [...]

celtics afterthoughts: et tu von?

Celtics v. Rockets 85-89
Von Wafer lights us up now? Really? Stop the insanity. Just stop it. Actually, now that people have been telling me that I should be worried, I’ve stopped worrying. Hopefully during the All-Star break they can get some R&R. Even if some of them participate in the hoopla, they can still rest [...]

sorry yao

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Then again, the Celtics play well at home so this may not be necessary… but in case it is… Voila!
The Yao Ming voodoo doll.

Granted, last season’s Lebron James voodoo dolls didn’t work and I had to process hundreds of returns. But, I’m willing to roll the dice again.
Go Celtics!
