$1017 SRP commemorates the Celtics’ drive for Banner #17!
That’s right, for only $1,017 you can own a sneaker. Normally I wouldn’t be interested, but since they raised the price to $1,017 to commemorate banner #17 (get it, an extra $17 for the 17th banner) I think I might try and sell some ad space on this here blog so that I can have a piece of history.
The real news here is that KG only wears a size 15. What’s up with that? The dude is 6′ 11″, he should be sporting an 18 or something grotesque like that. One of the few rules that I have is never trust anyone over 6′ 10″ that wears under a size 16 shoe. That goes for waiters, cab drivers, street vendors, and NBA basketball players.
Can’t a NBA Finals MVP catch a break? The Las-Vegas Review Journal is reporting that Paul Pierce had some girlfriend drama on the night that he was pulled over for a field sobriety test. I think Norm is really reaching on this one, after all who doesn’t have chicks throwing shrimp to them at the dinner table?
So I guess this isn’t really news, other than the fact that Pierce seems to be enjoying some seafood with some Playboy Bunnies.
I can’t say that I didn’t see this coming, but I thought that Danny Ainge had lured away Meghan from the New England Patriots, which would then clear the way for Quinn Kingston to join the squad a la Kevin Garnett.
But oh no, the NBA executive of the year has a different trick up his sleeve. He’s recruited Tanya off of the NEPC squad, and is hoping to use her as his Ray Allenesque pawn to acquire Kingston. Pure genius.
On the other side of this issue, I’m starting to question the loyalty of the NEPC squad. Suddenly the Celtics are back in the spotlight, and these girls start jumping ship so that they can rump shake indoors.
Doc Rivers’ Gatorade soaked shirt and the accompanying Gatorade Bucket from Game 6 of the NBA Finals netted a whopping $55,000 for The Shamrock Foundation through an auction on Sports Radio WEEI. The items were won by an anonymous bidder who pledged a donation of $35,000. The additional money came from a $10,000 donation from Gatorade and a second anonymous donor, who also called in to pledge $10,000.
That’s some expensive dirty laundry right there. In related news, I’m selling the white t-shirt I was wearing when the Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship. It comes complete with YUDS (yellow underarm deodorant stains) in both armpits, and I will even throw in the stick of deodorant that created the championship YUDS as well. Do I hear one dollar?
The city of Boston held a rolly rally for the Boston Celtics yesterday, and overall it was pretty tame. And by tame I mean the Boston Police Department did not have to arrest anyone who has been accused of rape on an almost annual basis. However, there were plenty of punk teenagers and confetti spread all over the city.
Sadly, the highlight of the parade was Big Baby going topless, and then encouraging the crowd to do the same. I’m assuming that Big Baby is speaking to the female contingent in the video below, and there’s a 65% chance that it was jailbait.
In all seriousness, check out this video to get a feel for what the parade was like.
Twelve days after he was set upon by a rowdy crowd of Los Angeles Lakers fans at the Staples Center, Gabriel Mendivil’s dream of witnessing a Boston Celtics [team stats] victory parade comes true today.
Mendivil, 33, of San Bernardino, Calif., landed at Logan International Airport yesterday afternoon thanks to generous Herald readers who arranged for his cross-country travel after reading about his ordeal: a beating that gained fame after it was posted on YouTube.
Mendivil, a lifelong Celts fan, was wearing a Larry Bird jersey with an Antoine Walker jersey hanging around his neck when he was set upon by a thuggish Laker fan on June 8. He was attending the Lakers’ broadcast of Game 2 at the Staples Center as the game was being played at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston.
The melee was videotaped and viewed by thousands on YouTube.
One of Mendivil’s suspected assailants, Armando Talamantes, 30, of Rosemead, Calif., was arrested two days later as Game 3 ticket-holders were filing into the Staples Center, Los Angeles police said.
Kids it just goes to show you that taking a beatdown does pay. Free flight, parade, hotel room, a cruise, and balloons. Not too shabby if you ask me.
One of the revelers arrested after the Celtics championship win was Gary Zerola, a former prosecutor who was acquitted of rape charges.
Police apprehended Zerola at 1:45 a.m. after he was allegedly urinating in public near State and Congress streets, according to Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Suffolk District Attorney’s office. When asked what he was doing, Zerola allegedly used an open hand to strike a police officer in the upper right shoulder, Wark said.
Wait, did he try to strike the cop with his piss hand or his non-piss hand?
In January 2006, a Suffolk Superior Court jury acquitted Zerola of attempted rape and other related charges involving a 19-year-old woman in his apartment in August 2006. In March 2008, he was acquitted of charges stemming from an episode in his Boston apartment in February 2004 with a different 19-year-old woman. He had been accused of four counts of rape and one charge of procuring alcohol for a minor.
Rape charges were also dropped against Zerola in Miami, where he had been accused of assaulting an 18-year-old university student at a Miami Beach hotel.
It’s obvious that this guy is a Kobe Bryant fan right? He’s been accused of four counts of rape? Now that I think about it, Kobe might be a fan of Gary.
For the past week or so, I have had the pleasure of walking by an enormous replica of the Larry O’Brien trophy. Every time I walk by it, all I can think about is 100 or so Massholes, absolutely hammered trying to carry that thing through the streets of Boston.
Ludicrous you say? Let’s rewind the clock to 1985…
From Patriots.com
The jubilant fans swarmed onto the field at the final gun and celebrated like their team had just won the Super Bowl. They succeeded in their quest to break the goalposts into pieces and proudly lugged their newfound trophies out of the stadium. Unfortunately a few of the Patriots faithful nearly electrocuted themselves when a piece of the dismantled goalpost came into contact with a power line overlooking Route 1. As it turned out, it wouldn’t be the last shock delivered to Patriots fans that winter. PFW
That’s right. A group of Massholes stole the goal post after a Pats game and almost electrocuted themselves as they carried it down Route 1.
This only leads me to believe that if the Celtics win the NBA championship tonight, that fake Larry O’Brien trophy will have the same fate. Being the degenerate that I am, I’m setting the odds at 3/1 for the trophy to make it to the traffic cop at the corner of Causeway and Staniford Streets, and 10/1 that it makes it to Congress Street.
Oh, and as far as a real parade route? Don’t expect to be parking your ass in City Hall Plaza unless it’s to mow down on some ribs at the Phantom Gourmet Beach BBQ. The Beach BBQ can’t be canceled or moved which means that there will be another lame ass rolling rally. Given the size of the team, you probably only need one duck boat for the players and one for the front office and staff. Not much of a parade if you ask me, but still reason enough to take the day off from work and go get drunk in a bar.
