Thus far the sports world in 2008 has been about one thing. Choking. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many teams fold under pressure. With the impending Olympic games, I’m sure we’ll see at least a dozen more athletes/teams collapse before our very eyes, only to be a punchline on this website.
So I’ve decided to throw this out to the readers. Who is the biggest choke job thus far in 2008? If you think someone was left off the list, drop it in the comment section.
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.
Boston.com - New England Patriots offensive lineman Nicholas Kaczur had 202 Oxycontin pills imprinted with letters indicating they were Canadian-made stuffed in his pocket when he was arrested by New York State Police in April, according to police reports.
Kaczur told police he bought the pills in Boston from a drug dealer named Danny, but a spokesman for the company that makes the pills and a drug industry specialist said the 202 pills, each marked CDN on one side, were made in Canada and imprinted with those letters to curtail cross-border smuggling of the potent painkiller.
It makes sense right? You get busted for drugs. Blame Canada. You got drunk, stole your mother-in-law’s car, and hit a tree? Blame Canada. You solicit a prostitute only to find out the hard way that it was a transexual, so you get arrested for assault after punching shim in the face? Blame Canada!
When you read the whole article, you end up having to give credit to both sides. Kaczur for saying he bought the pills from some guy named Danny. Although, he would have been smarter to say he bought them off of some guy named Sully just to make 65% of the population in South Boston a suspect.
On the other side of the coin, you have to hand it to Danny, or rather his lawyer, for blaming Canada for the pills. After all, there is noooooo way that Danny could have gone up to Canada and smuggled back a few bags of pills.
Starting New England Patriots offensive lineman Nicholas Kaczur was arrested in April on a charge of illegal possession of prescription painkillers and then secretly cooperated with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration in a sting operation that resulted in the indictment of his alleged drug supplier, according to a lawyer and two people briefed on the investigation.
Kaczur - a 28-year-old, 315-pound offensive tackle - wore a hidden recording device during three different drug transactions in May at gas stations in Foxborough and North Attleborough and a supermarket parking lot in Sharon, according to the lawyer, the two people, and federal court documents. At each of the three transactions, Kaczur paid $3,900 in cash to buy 100 OxyContin pills, a potent prescription pain reliever.
Cue Arlen Spector to demand that the Patriots forfeit every game Kaczur played in during the 2007-2008 season…
Grossberg said that, according to DEA documents presented to him before the indictment, Kaczur said he had begun buying OxyContin in November 2007 and purchased 100 pills every few days, paying tens of thousands of dollars over time.
In case you are too lazy to read the full article, Nick Kaczur was busted for speeding and they found Oxy in his car. I’m not talking about Oxyclean, or any other Oxy product sold by that fat bearded guy that yells in the commercials like he’s the white Stephen A. Smith. I’m talking about oxycodone.
Kaczur then cut a deal with the Feds to help bust his dealer, which would hopefully lead to the Kingpin, but the dealer has decided to keep his mouth shut. It’s likely he’ll be spending the next decade or so trying to keep other body parts shut as well.
This is just the type of shit that New England Patriots season ticket holders must love. The Kraft organization raises ticket prices for the second time since building Gillette Stadium, and now the castle has started to crumble.
Meet former Knicks City Dancer and New England Patriots Cheerleader Quinn Kingston. Even though Quinn won’t be gracing the fans with her presence at Gillette Stadium next season, I’m sure this won’t be the last we see of her.
It appears she recently scored a gig with Boston.TV but it lacks two things, dancing and skin. Personally, I’d love to see her on the hardwood with another former Patriots cheerleader, and current Celtics Dancer, Alison. If Danny Ainge could pull off this acquisition, he’ll be a shoe in for the 2008-2009 executive of the year. Throw in Lonnie Paxton’s girl, Meghan, and I think we have ourselves “The Other Big 3″.
A month ago, some people questioned the supposed photos of New England Patriots wide receiver grinding with Miss Kentucky Alysha Noel Harris. Sure the girl in the pictures looked similar to Alysha, but was it really her?
Well I think this new set of photos confirms two things…Randy’s poor taste in Derby Day attire, and the fact that Moss and Harris did hang out. I was even surprised to see Terrell Owens able to squeeze in the Derby in between cameo appearances on Ass Parade.
A reader sent in this picture of Wes Welker at a Kentucky Derby party, noting that he looked like he had consumed a few beverages. Good for him. It wasn’t really anything that I thought was blog worthy because he’s not drinking Goose straight from the bottle or anything like that.
Then out of the blue it hit me and this story got legs…or should I say tits? A few of you might remember the girl in the picture from a few months back. She was the girl who had a Super Bowl ring bearing the name Kraft wedged in between her plastic chesticles. Well I guess someone worked their way back into the circle of trust, or maybe they never left it?
Former Patriots employee Matt Walsh certified in writing that he will turn over eight stolen videotapes to the NFL that show the signals of opposing teams, but the smoking gun that some believed Walsh might provide - a tape of the St. Louis Rams’ walkthrough prior to Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002 - is not included.

As part of Walsh’s certification, he signed off that all videotapes and documents in his possession - from 2000-02 - have been handed over to the NFL, eliminating the possibility he has a tape of the walkthrough.
According to my sources, which may or may not be real, here is a list of the tapes that Walsh will be turning over to the NFL.

Randy Moss has announced that he will be forming a racing team to participate in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck series. Don’t worry Patriots fans, Randy won’t be driving, and for good reason given his penchant for pushing people with his car.
