Perk Will Play Game Six, NBA Refs Still Suck
The NBA today reviewed the two technicals given to Kendrick Perkins during Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals and have decided to rescind the second technical assessed to him. This means that Perk will avoid the mandatory one game suspension for any player with seven technicals in the playoffs. This is huge news for [...]
Dwight Howard Is The Dirtiest NBA Player Ever
Super shocking that Dwight Howard elbowed Glen Davis under the hoop, hurt him and had no foul called and no further action taken against him during the remainder of the Eastern Conference Finals. As you remember, Dwight Howard slammed Paul Pierce to the floor earlier in the series and was called for a flagrant I, [...]
What Happened To Getting Rid Of David Ortiz?
At the beginning of a slow start to the season, absolutely everyone, including myself was screaming for Big Papi’s head to be cut off and mailed anywhere but here. This month, David Ortiz has turned a corner, unless he’s guessing right on every fastball, knocking out 8 home runs in May. The not so versatile [...]
Tracking Pitch Count
For the first time, while watching the Boston Red Sox facing the Detroit Tigers during Dan Jones’ birthday weekend, I noticed the pitch count tracker in the score box on NESN. Whether it was a new doohickey, the fact that I was deep into a 40 oz. of Olde English or because pitch count is [...]
Celtics vs Yankees vs Canadians
As the Boston Celtics are one win away from another NBA Finals appearance, let’s take a look at the most dominant teams in the NBA, NHL, and MLB and see who is the best dynasty of them all. The Montreal Canadians’ Dynasty Founded in 1909, the Canadians are the oldest pro hockey team and are [...]
KG Teaches Big Baby Davis about Lost
Confused about the plot of Lost? Well, you’re not the only one as this clip shows Kevin Garnett explaining the smoke monster amongst other Lost intricacies to Glen “Big Baby” Davis. Photo credit: Imagine24 | NC-SA 2.0
Why Wasn't Dwight Howard Ejected From Game 2
In game 2 of the Eastern Conference NBA Finals, Dwight Howard did this to Paul Pierce. I’m not concerned about the well being of Paul Pierce, he stayed in and played one of his best games of the post season this year (28 Pts., 5 Reb., 5 Asst.). The NBA rule on flagrant fouls states: [...]
Thank Goodness for the Bruins!

Celtics' Ubuntu Too Much for Lebron & Cavs
A team effort pushes the Boston Celtics into the conference finals against last year’s foe the Orland Magic. With Lebron James facing the potential spectre of his last game in Cleveland, the Cavaliers bench couldn’t keep up with solid performances from the C’s bench. Lebron did his part with a triple-double, but the team defense [...]
New York Knicks, New York Knicks!
Bill Simmons came up with a great idea last week, a twitter account for Celtics fans to get live chant ideas. The first chant idea is simple, relevant and very chanty. During Lebron James’ first trip to the free throw line (and following trips), Celtics fans should chant “New York Knicks, New York Knicks”. Brilliant. [...]
Bo Jackson has nothing on Jason Varitek
At least according to Boston Mayor Tom Menino, who attributes a Super Bowl winning kick to none other than Red Sox captain Jason Varitek. Who could forget that historic call “Varitek splits the uprights! Varitek splits the uprights…and the New England Patriots are World Champions!” Congrats V-Tek on your newly discovered accomplishment! Oh, and congrats [...]
It's About Time Rasheed
Rasheed Wallace. The very mention of his name is usually followed by an expletive filled tirade from any Celtics fan, including our very own Josh Gans. Rasheed showed up to training camp woefully out of shape and the long NBA season has done nothing for his conditioning. He looks like a giant Pillsbury Dough Boy [...]
Define Run Prevention
The Boston Red Sox entered spring training with a defensive mindset. Terry Francona preached run prevention defense every day of April. Theo Epstein and the Red Sox went out and acquired a few gold glove defensive players such as third baseman Adrian Beltre, center fielder Mike Cameron and shortstop Marco Scutaro. Francona and Epstein said [...]
