Meet Bruins Phenom Tyler Seguin


We all saw Tyler Seguin on draft day wearing his Bruins jersey. He looked like a freshman walking into homeroom on his first day of high school.

But don’t be fooled by his boyish looks on draft day look. Tyler Seguin may just be Bostons newest heart throb. Tom Brady may be your mothers fancy, but Tyler Seguin is the new guy in town.

This kid looks like someone from the Twilight movies. Tom Brady was the first Boston athlete to “go Hollywood” and don’t be surprised to see Tyler Seguin follow suit.

If he can do for the Bruins what he did for the Plymouth Whalers in junior, he will be one of those athletes who transcend sports.

The kid was a phenom in junior hockey.

In 2009-2010, Seguin played 63 games for the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League and scored 48 goals, 58 assists for 106 points, tying him for the first overall in OHL scoring with Taylor Hall. In 9 playoff games that season, Seguin scored 5 goals and added 5 assists for 10 points.

Seguin won the Red Tilson Trophy that year as the OHL's Most Outstanding Player.

Stay tuned Bruins fans. You have something special. And its just a matter of time before he gets his chance.

Sweet Justice: Yankees Fan Gets Hit In Face With Ball While On Cell Phone

Yankees fans are some of the most arrogant, obnoxious, rude, loud-mouthed fans in all of baseball. So seeing this Yankees fan get hit in the face just made my day.

Dude has awesome seats and he isn’t even paying attention to the game. He deserved it.




Landon Donovan Scores Winning Goal In 80th minute, Team USA Advances In World Cup...Soccer Still Boring As Hell


Landon Donovan scored the game winning goal for Team USA in the 80th minute. It was the only goal scored…and it happened in the 80th minute.

Im just not biting on this whole World Cup thing.

1 – 0 baseball games are exciting. They are intense. You never know if the next pitch is going to tie the game or the next inning is going to be the big inning.

1 – 0 hockey games are exciting because there are plenty of offensive chances. There are shots on net, breakaways, big saves, etc.

1 – 0 in a soccer game is about as exciting as watching water boil.

I watched the game and yes Im thrilled that Team USA has advanced to the next round of the World Cup. But the sport itself just isn’t doing it for me. And Im probably not the only person who feels this way.

Ratings are high for these World Cup games because there are probably a lot of people like me out there—people who are giving World Cup soccer a chance.

But if this is the best the sport has to offer in terms of entertainment, I don’t see it catching on anytime soon.

"John From Medford" Has His Own TV Show ???

If you listen to sports talk radio in Boston then you’ve heard of “John From Medford.” He was a regular caller on WEEI and is now a featured caller on The DA Show on 98.5 The Sports Hub.

Well it turns out John From Medford has his own show on Medford local access television.

Most callers into sports talk radio shows are faceless and Ive always wondered what they look like.

Well, take a look at THE FACE of Boston sports talk radio:



Someone Actually Wants Scalabrine !



I guess theres a demand for Irishmen with Italian last names!

Yahoo Sports is reporting:

The Nets and Philadelphia 76ers are expected to have interest in Boston Celtics free agent Brian Scalabrine. The reserve forward prefers to re-sign with the Celtics, but it’s unclear if they’ll make him an offer.

I guess the 76ers and Nets need someone to keep the bench warm. Im just sayin.

Top 3 Bizarre Celtics Rumors




3. Danny Ainge will be leaving to become next GM of Phoenix Suns. This one just doesn’t make any sense.  This rumor is as stupid as that rumor in middle school about me eating a pencil. I never ate a pencil, yet everyone in school was convinced that it has happened. Ugg.

2. Kevin McHale will be the next head coach of the Celtics. This one is being gobbled up by the sentimental among us. Imagine a day where Danny Ainge is GM, Kevin McHale is head coach and maybe Larry Bird comes to Boston to be team president.  Then Rick Pitino’s prophecy will come true. Kevin McHale WILL walk through that door. Larry Bird WILL walk through that door. We're more likely to see an A-lister like Larry Brown or Jeff Van Gundy.  Stay tuned.

1. Shaquille O'Neal will sign with the Celtics. He would be Rasheed Wallace The Sequel. Shaq simply mails it in now-a-days. He is old, slow and unmotivated. Sure, writing about the possibility of Shaq signing with the Celtics will sell newspapers, but so does writing about Bat Boy returning to earth and aliens making love to former presidents.  File under tabloid journalism.

Bruins Shopping Tim Thomas A Year After Signing Him To 4 Year Deal With No-Trade Clause...WTF


Peter Chiarelli has found a way to "not screw things up" here in Boston.

He didnt trade the Bruins first round draft pick at the deadline. He hired a great head coach. He signed most of the Bruins young core to long term contracts.

But you must admit, the Tim Thomas signing was a gaffe...and trying to trade him just makes Chiarelli look stupid.

Before the 2009-2010 season, Chiarelli signed Tim Thomas (who was 35 years old at the time) to a 4 year, $20 million dollar deal with a no trade clause...now Chiarelli is trying to trade him?

Memo to Peter Chiarelli: WTF. Why would a 36 year old goalie who will make $6 million dollars next season to sit on the bench wave his no trade clause?

Furthermore, why would a team want a 36 year old goalie who is due $6 million next season and hasnt been a #1 goalie since the 2008-2009?

When the Bruins signed Thomas, it was widely known that they did it for his past performance. Thomas had just come off of a Vezina Trophy winning season and he had been playing for relatively cheap money.

So the Bruins rewarded him.  Now they are delusional enough to think that a man making $20 million to sit on the bench will wave a no trade clause.

Chiarelli has done more good than bad so Ill give him a mulligan on the Thomas signing.  But you cant help but want to bang your head against a wall anytime you hear about them trying to trade Thomas.

Kobe Bryant Carrying Purple Dildo At Laker Parade ?

Sure, Kobe Bryant had his trophy wife at his side during the Lakers parade, but it looks like he has something else in his hand. huh?  I can understand selling Lakers thongs and the such, but a Lakers dildo?  Cmon.


ps. I will never balk at an opportunity to embarrass Kobe Bryant.

Why You Should Boo Manny Ramirez

Manny Ramirez never hustled. He doesn’t play with any heart or passion. He never really showed that he cared about baseball. He is the antithesis of Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis.

He faked injuries and sat out from time to time because he was “sore.”

Sure, statistically Manny Ramirez earned every dime of his salary. But he didn’t have the intangibles. He doesn’t seem to love the game.

It was as though he “just showed up to work every day.” We all have co workers like that and I don’t know about you but for me they aren’t very pleasant to be around.

Im not even going to mention the fact that he pushed the Red Sox traveling secretary to the ground and slapped Kevin Youkilis in the face.

Manny Ramirez is like that prick of a boyfriend who has a ton of money and spoils you with it but never shows you that he cares a lick about you.

Tonight, he deserves to be booed. Worse than Johnny Damon got booed. Worse than Derek Jeter has ever been booed.

While You Were Watching The Celtics, The Red Sox Crept Up In The Standings, Are Only 2 Games Out Of 1st


You’re probably wondering how this happened.

Well, while you were watching the Celtics and ignoring the Red Sox (well, that’s what the ratings are saying anyway) the Sox won two out of three against the Phillies and swept the Diamondbacks.

Let me catch you up to speed:

Clay Buchholz is now 9 - 4
John Lackey is 8 –3
Jon Lester is 8 - 2
David Ortiz is leading the Red Sox with 14 home runs
A new guy named Daniel Nava is on fire and has been playing left field a lot lately

And if youre looking for something to ease the pain of the Celtics losing to the Lakers, the Dodgers are in town…so you don’t have to retire the BEAT LA chant yet. You have three more days before you have to let go.

This Is Why USA Has Never Embraced Soccer…And The World Cup


Why don’t Americans like soccer?

The bottom line is that the greatest country on the planet has invented three sports (baseball, basketball and American football) that are each more advanced, more entertaining and more superior than soccer.

Soccer is king in Europe but that is only because they have had limited exposure to the three major American sports.

Soccer is a minimalist sport when compared to baseball, basketball and American football. Its origins can probably be traced to cavemen kicking a rock around a field.

While the US of A has been privy to other sports rich in late-inning-come-back (baseball), buzzer beaters (basketball) and complex playbooks (football), soccer doesn’t have any of that.

When is the last time you saw a soccer team stage a late game comeback or use clock management to out-wit their opponent? It just doesn’t happen.

Ive watched a few World Cup matches and honestly, its like looking at a bunch of fish in a fish tank at the dentists office.  THATS how simple of a game it is.

Its hard to sell such a simple, basic, minimal sport to a country that has been exposed to complex and richly entertaining sports like baseball, basketball and American football for such a long time.

While the rest of the world enjoys watching the new age rock being kicked around a field for the next few weeks, Ill be watching the Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots mini camp.

Who The Frig Is Felix Doubront And Why Is He Starting Friday?


The Red Sox have confirmed that Felix Doubront will be starting on Friday in place of Dice K.

It leads me to one question: who the frig is Felix Doubront?

All we’ve been hearing about for the past year is pitching phenom Casey Kelly. Kelly is supposed to be a cant-miss prospect. He is supposed to be a “front of the rotation” pitcher, yet the Red Sox are calling up Felix Doubront for a spot start?

How many people have even heard the name Felix Doubront before today? Where was the buzz on this guy?

He does have decent stats this year-- 6 wins 1 loss with a 2.11 ERA in Portland and Pawtucket.

I dunno...Im just a little disappointed.  We've heard so much about Casey Kelly I figured we'd see him before a noname.

These Celtics Are One Win Away From Being A Dynasty



The Kevin Garnett Era will be remembered for a lot of things--tough defense, playing as a team, playing with swagger, ubuntu.

But one more win and they will be remembered for something that hasn’t been discussed since the Larry Bird Era of Celtics history. Being a dynasty.

Remember, Kevin Garnett didn’t play in the 2009 playoffs. Had he played, we would probably be talking about a third championship in three years but lets not dwell on the hypothetical and the could-have-been.

The core of this Celtics team has been together for three years and with a win tonight, they will have won 2 out of 3 NBA championships in that run.

A sports dynasty doesn’t have a clear definition but we can all agree that a core of players who has never lost a playoff series can be considered a dynasty...and we all know that the Celtics starting five of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins have never lost a playoff series when playing together.

There is something to be said for that. Call it dominance. Call them great. If they win this series, they have earned the right to be called a dynasty.

Interleague play is lame.

It was fun the first few years but its novelty has worn off. Its just not exciting anymore to see the Phillies come to town or to see the Red Sox play in San Francisco.

When it was fresh and new there was buzz surrounding every interleague series.

Now?  How many of you even knew that this weekend was going to be the first interleague weekend of the season at Fenway?

The only way to generate excitement for interleague play is if it goes away for a while. But it wont.  And we're stuck watching teams that we dont know much about and dont really care about.  Ugg.

THE PHOTO: Glen "Big Baby" Davis Drooling All Over Lakers, Living Up To His Name !



The Boston Herald captured the moment perfectly. Glen “Big Baby” Davis drooling like a baby while dominating game 4 like a seasoned veteran.

Forget Cedric Maxwells catchphrase “somebody get me a napkin,” someone needs to get Big Baby Davis a bib!

Glen Davis took over last nights game and the Lakers simply didnt have an answer.  Im sure the Lakers watched hours of film on Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett but it was obvious they didnt study Big Baby.

If they has, they would have stopped  him in the paint...and maybe even brought a bib.

"Run Prevention" Doesn’t Translate Into All Stars Votes


Remember the good ol days when the Red Sox would rule the All Star balloting? Well, this class of Red Sox just isnt making the cut.

There are no Red Sox leading in any position (see current vote tally).

Sure, Lester, Buchholz and Papelbon will probably make the team as managers selections, but what about the popular vote?

Dustin Pedroia is second among 2nd basemen, Kevin Youkilis is FOURTH among 1st basemen, David Ortiz is fourth among designated hitters and there isn’t even a Red Sox outfielder in the top 15!!!

You mean to tell me that Mike Cameron isn’t exciting enough to garner up some votes from Red Sox Nation [sarcasm]? What about Marco Scutaro and his stellar defense [sarcasm]?

Adrian Beltre, the man with two gold gloves on his resume is one million votes behind Evan Longoria among 3rd baseman.

I think that says it all…run prevention just isn’t sexy.

New Stadium May Sell Naming Rights To Website That Promotes Cheating On Spouse

Fulfill Your DreamsAshleyMadison.com has offered $25M to become the official new name of the New York Giants and the New York Jets new stadium.

What is Ashley Madison?  It's a website that connects married women who want to have an affiar with married men who also want to have an affair.

There slogan is: Life is short. Have an affair.

Is it trashy and unethical? Yes.

BUT extramarital affairs seem to be very popular these days. Can you blame someone for capitalizing on a trend that already exists?



Red Sox Unveil “Teammates” Statue Depicting Bobby Doerr, Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, and Dom DiMaggio

The Red Sox unveiled their “Teammates” statue today. It features Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky and Ted Williams as they looked in 1946.

The statue is 120% of life size and is outside Gate B at Fenway Park.






VIDEO: Kid Drinking Beer At Phillies Game

Ive said it once and Ill say it again: Philadelphia fans are scum.

A few years ago, Flyers fans almost booed Sarah Palin out of the building when she was dropping the ceremonial first puck.

Before the 2009 World Series, a female Phillies fan put up an ad on craiglslist offering sex for World Series tickets.

Earlier this season, a Phillies fan was arrested for intentionally puking on the 11-year-old girl.

Also earlier this season, a loser ran onto the field during a Phillies game and got tased.

Now we have this. A child who appears to be about 4 or 5 years old drinking a beer. SCUMBAGS.




Why The Frig Was Derek Fisher So Emotional After Game 3?

I would hate to watch Titanic with Dereck Fisher.

What does he do after playing a great game and single handedly crush the Celtics momentum in this series? Does he give us some clichés about playing like a champion? Does he give us some cocky quotes like Paul Pierce does?

No. He cried like a baby. WTF? Did I miss something?

Did his mom recently die or something? Why is a grown man (a professional athlete) crying after game 3?

Memo to Derek Fisher: this series isn’t over. You didn’t just win the MVP. And you didnt break the NBA record for most three pointers in a game or anything.  Get a grip!  Its only game frickin 3.



Red Sox Draft Center Fielder Kendrick Perkins In 6th Round Yesterday...Yes His Name Is Kendrick Perkins


The Red Sox selected Kendrick Perkins, a power-hitting outfielder from La Porte High School in Texas, in the sixth round of the amateur baseball draft yesterday.

Yes, you read that correctly. His name is Kendrick Perkins.  And he is from Texas, just like the other Kendrick Perkins.

The Kendrick Perkins that the Red Sox drafted is listed at 6'3" 215 lbs and bats left handed.  He was a star running back at La Porte High School but has officially committed to playing baseball in college.

He will be attending Texas A&M in the fall.

Heres his info from MLB Draft Notebook
