NBA Season is about to arrive
The most anticipated NBA season in years - as it is being dubbed from coast to coast - is just about to dawn on us. And, standing at the precipice are your Boston Celtics. Expecting interesting things tomorrow??? It will be definitely be the first chapter of an exciting adventure. I cannot wait to see what happens.
The team, as currently constituted, presents a formidable obstacle to any opponent. Take a close look at that lineup. One through twelve, the roster is comprised of veterans. Solid veterans. Almsot all of whom have served as starters at one point in time or another. On paper, they look like the real deal.
Should be FAN TASTIC...especially if you are a Celtics fan
NBA PREDICTIONS
Interesting thoughts by Tommy Heinsohn on the CSNNE Basketball Show. Tommy, Mike Gorman, and Gary Tanguay think that the Celtics, if healthy, might indeed be NBA champions. Very interesting insights. Great quote on the show....Gary Tanguay "We basically have 82 preseason games" to look forward to."
BOYCHUCK CHECKED OUT
You may not have seen this, but Boychuck is out for the next month or so due to an arm injury. Here is wishing Boychuck a speedy recovery.
NFL GIVES KUDOS TO MERIWEATHER
No big secret that the NFL made an example of Brandon Meriweather last week. But, did you notice that the NFL came out and praised how Meriweather made to "effective" hits in yesterdays muck-a-luck with the Chargers. They actually noted how well he was able to do the hit within the confines of the rules.
Check it out here in a link to the LA times:

IAN THOMSEN'S OUTLOOK FOR DAY ONE
Count SI's Ian Thomsen as an initial non-believer. On CSNNE's Sports Tonight, he mentioned how he initially thought the Celtics would be destroyed in Game One because the Heat had to win it much more than the Celtics. But, interesting point is made by IA - the closer it gets to game time, the less sure he is about that.
Oh MannyDa!
Did you hear the rumor going around? Manny may want to reunite with former Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell in his new job as head of the Blue Jays. Oh Boy!
Felger strike again.
Great call on the Sports Hub today. Felger, when chewing out a resident NY fan (deservedly so, who was trying to explain why the Pats win yesterday would never be repeated in the playoffs), suggesting he was mad at Felger because Felger's prediction that the Pats would be better without Moss, was met with a great one liner. When Felger suggested his own potential divine skills as creating such a prediction - tongue and cheek of course - the caller, Mike, responded.
"You're a real Nostr- adass - mus."
Nice.

Rave reviews for Celtics
Did you happen to see the quintent on Comcast NE Celtics Preview tonight. Fun show, but what is most interesting is the optmistic view of the Celtics presented on the show. All five announcers -Tanguay, Marshall, Dickerson, Heinsohn, and Gorman - acknowledge the Celtics can probably contend for a championship. However, the most prescient comments probably came from Mike Gorman who said this Celtics team was the deepest team he has seen since covering the team (which began in 1980). High praise for the man who called the 2008 champs, who were deep, and the 1986 champs who were considered one of the best teams ever.
Congrats Tim Thomas
Hearing a lot of Bruins talk on WEEI and Sportshub. That's great. But even better is to see that Tim Thomas is back. Now, while some clowns like Felger think he is trade bait, let's wait a bit on that. It is great to see him back. And, not sure if you caught it on Sports Tonight, but Steve Buckley mentioned that Thomas's doctor, who did off season surgery on the torn labrum in hip, did not know how Thomas could play last year. Now we know why he had an off year
Fired up Tom Brady
Great to see Tom Brady fired up over the Terrell Suggs comment. Think it was hilarious that he mentioned Suggs did a lot of talking for a guy who has only beat the Pats once in nine years. Sounds like Suggs sour graped it when he said he was moving on.
Oh, Neal
Hear the report that Jermaine O'Neill has torn wrist cartiledge....here us hoping you a speedy recovery.
Another Felger moment
Zoinks, this dude doesn't quit. After harping on how excited he was about the Bruins, he began downplaying the Bruins yesterday. And, after receiving enough hate email to wall paper a cyber room, what does he do. Offer another joust, suggesting yahoo fans are ready to plan the rolling rally. Hey, Migeulito....relax. Sure, Bruins fans finally have a reason to feel some excited. Surely, you have to playyour Debby Downer role, but let them be excited. There have been few and far between opportunities for this. And as for a rolling rally down Route One....maybe they can go all the way to the Golden Banana...there is a true black and gold site for fans....zoinks!
In for Gonzalez
Those Red Sox and Adrian Gonzalez rumors are heating up again. May not be hot stove time, but don't be surprised if there is more movement on that in December.

Justine Beiber calls out Tom Brady
Check this out. There is a Yahoo story about Beiber calling out Brady for stealing his look.
Check here for the link:http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Justin-Bieber-vs-Tom-Brady-The-hair-rap-battle?urn=nfl-276981
Come on, kid. Be real. You became a hit because of You Tube. Now, you think you have the right to call out someone who has taken the "Super Cuts" look to the next level. Be real you goof. Your look - and Tom's for that matter - is straight out of those silly posters you see at Super Cuts and say "don't do that to me." That is the last thing you should call Tom Brady out for.
Micheal Felger adds another knucklehead moment
If you were unlucky enough to hear another Felger whine yesterday - dude grow up - you will have heard him talk about the history of the Celtics being crybabies and that their fans have their own whiny, self-righteous attitude. According to his doofusness, the Celtics have been afforded wonders by the NBA, and have no right to complain. He says that their legacy is one of complaining (not his true words, but his implication).
Then, in the next breath, we hear it all. From afar, as a Milwaukee Bucks fan, he watched it transpire...and is sick of it. Dude, no wonder why you are whining. You had to grow up watching the Milwaukee Bucks! Wow....I'd be crying, too, if I were you. Listen pal, the Bucks may not be as whiney as the Celtics, but lets face it....you also didn't have too many opportunities to see them whine on center stage. When was the last time they actually had something to whine about. Sure the Celtics complain. But, let's face it....the NBA has to do something about the refs. This preseason so far has been a pitiful failure.
Best Wishes Mark Savard
WEEI and the Sports Hub both reported that the Bruins center was at least a month away. Here is wishing you well, Mark. Let's hope you heal soon. We definitely need you.
Liverpool Soccer No Reason to Complain
By now, you've heard that the Sox's JH is buying British football club (let's get it straight, its not really soccer across the pond). I keep hearing people say that this is going to be a reason why Red Sox fans complain if they do nothing this off season. But, here are two points to ponder.
1. If JH does by the team, he has got a bargain. Those clubs are more of a gold mine than anything we see in the U.S. And, if he can flip it, even better.
2. The Red Sox essentially did nothing last off season. Did we complain? Yes. So, news flash - they don't need a football club as a reason to whine. If Theo and the crew do nothing, that is reason enough.
Dumb moment of the day
Yesterday Felger actually said Robert Parish traveled everytime he shot the ball. Huh? That's like saying Kevin McHale's pivot move was a travel every time. Oh, wait....you probably thought it was.
Deja Borges
Did you hear Ron Borges two days ago on the Big Show (on WEEI). Wow, he didn't even remember who he was co-hosting with the previous week. Wow. No wonder he seems so clueless about the Pats. Actually, he does have some useful insights, but others are plain "out there." Must have been all that time in Oakland.
Plea For the Day
David Stern....stop the nonsense. Let's not pretty up the NBA. As Dave Cowens and Tommy Heinsohn both mentioned on the last Celtics preseason game, this is not the NBA. And frankly, it is not "Fantastic!"
