i know what this blog needs… more j.j. redick! (and other musings)

I’m 5′4″ and I could probably guard J.J. Redick
* In an article in today’s WaPo, Washington Redskins star, DeAngelo Hall brags about shutting down J.J. Redick back in their AAU days about 10 years ago. Hilariously, he seems to think this was a great accomplishment. I hate to break it to him, but an egg salad sandwich [...]

he’s back, baby!

So, what you’re really saying is that I’m going to have to listen to diaper and pacifer jokes for another two years?
* Ah well, I guess he’s worth it. Welcome back to beantown, BBD.
The Boston Globe reports:
The Celtics are expected to announce the signing of free agent forward Glen Davis to a contract, and have [...]

c.c. sabathia wishes he was josh beckett

Is there really anything better than opening day at Fenway? How about those Red Sox, huh? Looking damn good right out of the gate. Especially the assassin on the mound, Josh Beckett.
Beckett’s fastball, from the first inning to the seventh, hummed in the mid-90s, topping out at 96 miles per hour, a velocity he reached [...]

baby mama drama

Disclaimer: This is a frivilous post that is meant to distract from the earth-shatteringly awful news today about KG sitting out another big chunk of games.
Tom Brady is having full-on baby mama drama as his supermodel wife makes controversial comments in recent Vanity Fair interview. The Early Show with the details:
Bündchen reveals that she knows [...]

celtics afterthoughts: tommy issues a bounty

Celtics v. Knicks 124-105
Run ‘n Gun is quasi comical to watch. Run down the court, jack up a 3-point shot. Rinse. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. I’m not saying it’s a bad game plan for the Knicks – because it’s certainly helped them win more games – but it’s still amusing to watch sometimes. Q-Rich can play. [...]

red sox v. yanks – games 2 & 3

Wow. Talk about a buzzkill. Game 2, the Red Sox literally slaughter the Yankees 11-3. Right in front of Fat Jack, no less. That was good times. Then in game 3, Jon Lester pitches a fan-fracking-tastic game and it looks like a sweep is imminent and what happens? Wha wha what? The bullpen (I shall [...]

red sox v. yanks series

7-3 win is a nice start. I wasn’t sure what we were going to get from Wakefield. I had to ask everyone within earshot at work, “Hey, what do we think about Wake on the mound tonight? Confident?” and mostly the answer was, “Meh. Maybe.” I really didn’t watch the game. I flipped the channel [...]

stop the presses! brett favre sells jerseys

So Brett Favre is a Jet. I was flipping channels when the news broke and I think it’s a sure sign that I watch too much ESPN that my first thought was, “Greeny is going to be so excited!” Oy. It’s going to be interesting [for the Patriots] playing a Jets team that doesn’t suck monkeyballs [...]

sitting on the surface of the sun

Holy hell, it’s hot up in this bitch. This bitch being New England. I’m sure other parts of the country are much hotter, but I only care about me obviously.
My day today started out super. The darling counter chick at Dunkin Donuts bitched me out because she got my order wrong. Yes, it was [...]

red sox v. yankees

Soooo, we beat the Yankees 2 games in a row. Yay and all that, but then today… wtf? I’m greedy and I wanted a sweep. Also, how many times are you allowed to hit Manny in one game before somebody at least gets a warning? Manny didn’t seem to care, but I was screaming expletives [...]
