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.
