Celtic Pride?

nba_g_lebron_dunk_268.jpgI am embarrassed by the Celtics.  I literally am ashamed to be rooting for this team right now.  I couldn’t bring myself to root for them in game 7 against Atlanta due to the fact that they were PLAYING IN A GAME 7 AGAINST ATLANTA!!! 

 

Can’t you just picture Rasheed Wallace laughing his headband off while watching the lowly Hawks force a game 7 with the “favorites” to win the title?!  The Pistons were already laughing at them earlier in the season.  After the C’s beat them in a regular season game Chauncey said that they were acting like they were playing in the Super Bowl and Pistons forward Amir Johnson said that “they’re acting like they won the title.”  I didn’t feel joy after their round one “victory” it was more like relief that my team wouldn’t go as the biggest choke artists in NBA history and have everyone laugh at them for winning 66 games during REGULAR SEASON before getting knocked out by a team with a losing record.

 

My embarrassment is slowly morphing into anger.  I don’t enjoy watching this team play on the road.  I find myself shaking my head and criticizing most of what I see.  Here are some questions and thoughts that came to mind while watching another shameful road performance last night in Cleveland?

Nothing New on Red Sox or Tavarez (Orioles Defeat Sox 5-4)

Breaking Box:  Baltimore Orioles - 5,  Boston Red Sox - 4

red_sox_drew_point_of_impact.jpg Prior to the game, it was announced that Manager Terry Francona would miss the next three games due to the passing of his mother-in-law (Beau Mills will take the helm for the remainder of the Baltimore Series).  During the 5-4 loss to Baltimore, the Sox lost the services of J.D. Drew (sprained left wrist), Coco Crisp (upset stomach) and David Ortiz (ejected for arguing). 

On Monday, the Red Sox activated first baseman Sean Casey. To make room for the move the team designated pitcher Julian Tavarez for assignment.   The Sox' Front Office has 8 more days to trade or release the right handed reliever. According to Rotoworld the Red Sox also Released LHP Abe Alvarez on Monday.  In more upbeat news , Kevin Youkilis was awarded the American League Player of the Week Award for last week's play!

Kobasew's Spirits are Lifted With Contract Extension

Written by Matthew David Hume, on 13-05-2008 23:33

AP  Bruins Chuck Kobasew Signs Contract Extensionchuck_kobasew_will_play_tonight.jpg

The Boston Bruins [team stats] have signed forward Chuck Kobasew to a multiyear contract extension after his highest scoring season in his five years in the NHL.  Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the team.
I uncovered the details on Chucky's new deal with the Black & Gold over at The Hockey News!  From where I am standing, the contract is finally a fair agreement between player and club for the Bruins!

Evans among elite class

State of the Franchise Alert:  Roger Goodell Will Host a Spy Gate Sit-Down With Matt Walsh This Morning (News Conference Will Follow at 10:00am).
State of the Patriots Franchise

Full Back

The down and dirty, no fame, position of the NFL is full back. Often to small to be an offensive lineman and too big to be a RB, full backs are an essential part to a teams success in both running and passing the ball. Over the years the Patriots have seen their fair share of great FB’s; Sam Gash and Larry Centers to name a couple. You could add Heath Evans to that list as he has been terrific since getting released by Miami in 2005. Ironically enough Evans was signed the week of the Dolphins, Patriots game and he turned in his best performance running the ball gaining 84 yards on 17 carries. In the loom is Navy alum Kyle Eckel who was an instant fan favorite the first time he stepped foot on the practice field.



Heath Evans
Height: 6-0
Weight: 250
Age [for up coming season]: 29

Entering his prime of his career Evans appears to have a lot left in the tank and should continue to be a main stay in the backfield for the Patriots. Not the smoothest athlete out there, Evans will beat you down physically with his runs. He has been efficiently productive on short yardage plays and netted three touchdowns last season. Hopefully for Evans he can see the field more in 2008 as he did not see as many reps as he liked last season due to the four wide sets. Evans also provides value on the great kickoff team that the Patriots have and that is essential to the Patriots coaching staff.

Lo-Mo ready to go?

Running Back Update:  Patriots Look to Add Kevin Jones?

State of the Patriots Franchise

Running Back

At a quick glance of Patriots RB Laurence Maroney’s stats you would think that he had a disappointing sophomore year, however that is why in most cases stats are skewed. Aside for yet another injury, the third year man from Minnesota, showed flashes of brilliance; most notably in week 16 against the ever so tough Miami Dolphins. Maroney gained 156 yards on only 14 carries which is an 11.1 average. Behind “Lo-Mo” was old reliable Kevin Faulk who saw a much increased role as the featured second back. Many skeptics will argue that
