Friday at the Garden...

One day, two teams, one arena....

Such tradition could only happen in New England. An early afternoon start for the Bruins was perfect for a rabid fanbase with a suprisingly hot team to cheer. After a freak goal against the run of play early in the first period, the New York Islanders wished they had still been eating leftovers. The second and third periods were all Bruins. 7 goals by 6 players paved the way for a demolition of epic holiday proportions. Last year such an onslaught was rarer then the occaisonal slim female Bruin fan. This year, the goals and the south end hoochies are out in force. Plus, you have not lived until you wait to take a piss with 75 other Bruin fans in one of the Garden's horrendously inadaquate restrooms on the balcony level. I concluded the Bruins part of the program by watching the B's drive their huge SUV's out of the players parking lot with a group of kids, their parents, and the aformentioned south end hoochies.

Intermission: 3 1/2 hours at The Fours, eating an overpriced "Larry Bird" and chatting it up with some overexurberant BU girls. One was "an education major". Needless to say, she hung of my every word of my ever growing "Tales of the Classroom Chronicles". The finance boys in the crowd could only talk about "the ups' and downs". I had the cranberry juice, and the natural diarectic jokes only subsided when I made it rain...Most bizarre moment-When I predicted out of the blue that Nebraska would miss the field goal, only to see them try an awful fake that ended in the freak UC touchdown. Ridonculous. I triumphantly left the bar to pick up my Cs tickets and wait in line.

I bought a new Celtics hat. Its fresh.

There actually isn't much to say about the game itself. The C's were dominent defensively, early dunks by Perk and KG blew the roof off the building, and Ray Allen's huge third quarter rendered a terrible evening by the Truth moot as the game was over for all intent and purposes by the start of the fourth. The constant calls for Scalabrine to shoot were ridiculous, until he popped out and drained a three, once again sending the crowd into a tizzy late in the fourth. In the end, the game ha a little bit of everything.

Conclusions from the day:
The better the team, the more hot female support the team gets. It was my first Garden experience under these consitions. This sounds great on the surface, but coupled with the over the top intensity of the family friendly atmosphere promoted in both games, this drastically alters the experience. The result is a unqiue dicotomy for professional sports as MMA takes the mantle as the most unsanitized sporting experience for fans from boxing. 10 of the 12 people in my row were on dates. The garden is not the place to expect a roudy good time.

In this time of economic crisis, the NBA is pricing out the fans bigtime. I sat in the same section and row for both games. After taxes I paid 20 bucks more for the Cs game. The majority of the lower bowl was corporate, and my center balcony section was all yuppie dudes and their neuveau riche girlfriends. Now this doesn't nessesarily mean the environment was comparable to the Rent or the Civic Center for a UConn game, as there weren't many grandparents out for their weekly trip from the home. However, there was a reason that the crowd for the B's game was in line out of North Station 2 1/2 hours before the game and I was the first in line for the C's game 60 minutes before the tip.


Th separation between myself and the city of Boston is healthy. I would not be able to function if I lived there. As anestitized as the games were, both teams took their performances to the next level. The final three Bruins goals were as poetic as anything that ahas ever been written. David Krejcis goal was as supreme an individual effort as the NHL has seen all season and Kessel's goal showed this team may have what it takes. Big test tonight aginast the Red Wings...


The Intro's were not as good as last season.

One of the celtics ball boys hit 5 of 6 from beyond he arch before the game, and couldn't have been older then 12. I'm assuming he was directly relate to one of the players, becuase while short, he looked far more prepared for the league then say, any current member of the Duke mens team.



In the words of O'Shea Jackson, it was a good day....

The Giant Awaken?

For a decade and a half I have lived under the allusion that the United States men’s soccer team was a potential giant in International futbol. There have been pretenders, Ghana, South Korea, or Japan. I just figured that increased exposure to the sport via the World Wide Leader in Sports, a stable domestic league, and advertising money would build the USA into a powerhouse. Now in terms of Concacaf this has been accomplished. Stomping Mexico here at home has become routine. Beating them in Mexico has proven a different story. The Mexican national team does not lose at home. This is a hurdle I would have hoped to clear at this point. It is strange how expectations change.

This has been made more complicated during the Euro 2008 championships. It has been a great tournament. However, with the emergence of Russia to the Semi-Finals, the international futbol fan must take a great warning. The current Russian squad is well coached, and more importantly, the youngest team in the tournament. They have looked uneven and outmatched at times, particularly against the Spanish. However, their dismantling of the Dutch was a masterpiece. They forced the Dutch to resort to their all too regular tactic of aborting teamwork in favor of individual glory. I very impressed by the Russian attack. If that nation continues to progress, consider them the next great power. Despite the weather in Russia, they seem to have the size and certainly the willingness to be a futbol powerhouse. Money has flooded into Russia since 1991, and soon it will be the world’s most dominant oil producing power. Only time will tell, but this tournament may be the coming out party.

Its time for the Americans to step up....

Bada Bing!!!

A forty point drubbing of Memphis following the destruction of the Chicago Bulls friday night (Which I enjoyed from section 115) has the C's looking ahead to a week of Philly, Seattle. Utah, and the Bucks. The most interesting match up is obviously Utah, lead by the great Deron Williams...the anchor of "We must Break You", my rag tag fantasy team.

Sunday saw the UConn Men's team rebound from the midweek disaster at Providence with an inspired performance against the Bearcats of Cincinnati. Sitting in section 25, I was amazed it was the same team. Hopefully having their manhood challenged so late in the year will inspire them to some big things this week in America's armpit, New York City.

Enjoy the week, it is a basketball fans dream....

oh yeah....The weekend saw some ridiculous upsets in the English FA Cup. Man U, Chelsea, and Middlesbourgh choked bigtime, especially Chelsea. Manu got screwed, but should have scored 3 goals before the desasterous 75th minute ruling for a penalty.

Good News...

Randy Moss signs, I postpone my "trip" to Old Trafford.

Next week is the 1 year anniversary of the Knicks giving Isiah Thomas a contract extention. I might go to church just to thank someone for this blessing....

Welcome Home

There are moments in history that rock and those that are horrendous for mankind. Having seen the New England sports scene take a huge hit the past few weeks, and no I don’t just mean KG’s abdominals, I began to refocus my sights on an old friend, the UConn men’s basketball program. Throughout the years there have been more moments that rock then suck for Jim Calhoun and his lads. However, the past few years have been shaky at best.

This season the UConn men’s basketball team has already seen both tremendous defeats and tremendous victories. I must admit that after last season my expectations for the athletic program that has most shaped my life were very low. Calhoun's strategy of staying away from Junior college players, despite losing five players to the NBA Draft's first round in the past two seasons, forced him to recruit players at every position. I can understand his reluctance to scout the Juco ranks, with the Johnny Selvie years still lingering around Storrs like rotten mayonnaise. The program has hit some roads bumps in recent years. First with the stolen Laptop scandal a few years back, and this season's suspension of Doug Wiggins and Jerome Dyson. UConn is not Florida State, but the PR department has had to earn its paychecks lately. Not to mention the epic loss to George Mason that took the sails out of everyone and the inability to even make the NIT last season.

However, perhaps that is what has made the last two weeks refreshing. With the team facing trepidation on and off the court, the players found the depth and determination to play as a team. A desperate win against Marquette at home, and a huge victory at Indiana propelled the team to its first hot streak in two years. In many ways, the whole program seems to have turned a corner. With Jeff Adrian playing with confidence and A.J. Price showing everyone why Calhoun stuck with him, the team has found new life. Despite continued inconsistencies of players like Stanley Robertson (the most talented all around player on the team) and Cutis Kelly (Praying he can become Hilton Armstrong part Duex), UConn fans have found delight in the continued maturity of "The Monster" Hasheem Thebeet. Like the Chaldeans sacking Sumer,(Sorry, I taught ancient Sumer this week!) Thebeet has shown flashes of utter dominance. If this team continues to play team originated basketball, Calhoun could have one of his most exciting teams ever heading into tournament season.

The team has accomplished nothing and will continue to have to prove themselves at every turn, but I think this may just be a great 6 weeks for this program. If anything a good finish to this year will certainly re-establish UConn as a nationally ranked program to be reckoned with. It also sets up positive vibes for the future. Assuming none of these guys, particularly Thebeet, doesn’t jump to the NBA too soon, the team has a real chance to find a significant place in the program’s winning tradition.

I know I’ll be watching.

More on the Vent

After a few days of soul searching, I decided on a official song of the 2007/2008 New England Patriots. Only Trent Reznor could encapsulate such grief and despair.

P.S. The UConn Women lost tonight to Rutgers. Ugh......

The Vent

It was a bad time for Bill Belichek to turn into Grady Little

It was a bad time for Tom Brady to turn into Drew Bledsoe circa 1993

It was a bad time for Asante Samuel to forget how to catch a football

Also, why in the hell was former UConn Atheletic Director Lew Perkins sitting in the Manning familiy box?

Just an awful football game, in every way. Even if the Pats had pulled it out it would have gone down as one of the worst Super Bpwls ever. You cannot play 12 minutes of a 60 minute pro football games and expect to win.

At least we have the UConn womens basketball team to focus on.....Good Grief...

It is going to be a hellish spring. Do not be suprised if the apocalypse starts in May....

The Charisma Bowl

For last two months the New England Patriots have dealt with the change of seasons in God’s country. They have gutted out hard fought victories. Yesterday’s win in the AFC Championship was no different. A bitter wind hampered the greatest passing attack in the history of the NFL. Tom Brady threw three picks and had a QB rating in the 60’s. They used their veteran experience to adjust to any difficulty their opponents threw at them.

Now, none of it matters.

The New York Giants are an enigma. They started 0-2. By October they looked like a hilarious precursor to the 2007/2008 New York Knicks. Then, they found an offense to go along with the leagues best defensive line. They found comfort away from the demonizing New York media. They have now won 10 straight road games, 3 straight on the road. They have established a wining attitude.

Now, none of it matters.

We are 12 days away from Super Bowl Forty Two. Do not expect any bizarre comments or locker room fodder coming from any of the players. Both the Pats and the Giants have head coaches who are down right mean about controlling their players. I will refer to this game as the “Charisma Bowl”, mainly because even with his oppressive personality, I think Belichek is far more personable then Tom Coughlin. These are going to be some fun press conferences….

In Week 17 these teams meant in the most watched regular season football game in over a decade. Playing in the “NY”, the Giants came out smoking, actually gaining a 12 point lead at one point. The Patriots, playing for perfection in the regular season, made some huge adjustments and overpowered the Giants in the Fourth quarter. The Giants scored a late TD and the game ended as a 38-35 victory for the P-men.

The only thing that really matters is that these two teams are playing the game at the highest level at the best time of the year. They will be playing in Glendale, Arizona. There will be no talk of wind, cold, or snow. I am looking forward to the possibility of seeing the New England Patriots from September and October 2007. That team played the most dominating football I have ever seen at the pro level. This game could be as lopsided a Super Bowl as has ever been played. But don’t get your hopes up, it won’t be. The Patriots under Belichek do not play blowout playoff games, let alone Super Bowls.

Both teams will be ready. Now we just have to deal with the media onslaught. Overnight the Giants became media darlings. Eli Manning is now the “hottest quarterback in the league” according to the World Wide Leader. You will also hear the “I’m picking the Giants, so that makes me a rebel football analysis guy who is playing coy and trying not to look ridiculous for picking against a team that is 18-0.” radio and TV personality. It will sound like this,

“Now I know this is gonna ruffle some feathers here,… and I am going out on my own here…but I am Picking the Giants. They had the hardest road to get to the Super Bowl, and Eli Manning is playing like a number one pick, the offensive line is matching the intensity of the incredible D-line. This team dominated the Packers and the Cowboys!!! I gonna say it, and I hope nobody in New England shoots me over this….The Giants will beat the Patriots.”

And they will be wrong. Lame historical coincidences won’t work. Even the Ewing Theory. The Giants will play up the “us against the world” moniker. Its doesn’t matter.

In 12 days the New York Giants have to beat the New England Patriots.

It won’t happen.

My prediction….Patriots 38, Giants 35

Now let’s play the game already….

The Rise of Glen Davis

They call him “Big Baby”, but Saturday night Glen Davis's nickname should have been “The Closer”. Glen Davis, a guy I compared to a 6’5’ version of Darko Milicic in November, scored 16 4th quarter points to force the Celtics to a 92-85 victory over the Pistons in a performance that would have had Cinco Ocho dancing a jig. Davis finished with 20 points on the evening. The victory by the C’s snapped an 11 game wining streak by the Pistons and avenged the loss in Beantown December 19th.

It was a virtuoso performance by Davis, who despite seeing major time off the bench early in the season had seen some of his PT usurped by Planet Pollard in recent weeks. Davis’s energy and girth was too unorthodox for the combination of Pistons giants down low. The skilled Davis’s ability to finish around the basket led to two incredible three point plays in the final minutes to secure a victory. Coupled by the scrappy play of Captain Paul Pierce (19,9,and 7), the Celtics were able to rebound from KG’s early foul trouble. While it was another difficult game for Ray Allen (9 points), the performance by Davis will also continue to call into question the play of Kendrick Perkins.

Perkins sparked the Celtics with 6 quick points on night, but only scored one point the rest of the entire game. His predictable moves, lack of energy above the rim, and KG’s foul trouble allowed the Pistons to dictate the tempo for three quarters. With some solid veteran big men available, both PJ Brown and Chris Webber were mentioned after the game by various reporters, it will be interesting to see if the organization continues to entrust the 5 spot to Perkins and the rookie Davis. I would like them to look at a guy like Hakim Warrick, a forgotten man in Memphis whose length would be great to have defending on the perimeter while providing above the rim energy the team lacks.

Other then that, there just is not much to complain about with this team now at 29-3.

The Bobcats come to town Wednesday seeking to revenge Ray Allen’s improbable last second shot that defeated them in November. Jordan’s crew has overhauled the offense in recent weeks, as the versatile (and Healthy) Gerald Wallace/Jason Richardson combination has taken full control from Emeka Okafor and Raymond Felton. It will be interesting to see how Charlotte approaches the Celtics without trying to establish an inside game. The C’s have struggled against the more athletic teams (Memphis, Cleveland, Jason Maxiell, Toronto, Utah) this year.

A Special Coda by The Dude

I won't be watching 60 minutes tonight now that Clemans will be testifying before congress. If that guy has the stones to lie to congress on National TV, then I will tip my cap to him. It is one thing to lie, but to make the lie so entrenched in every fiber of your being, ala Barry Bonds, is to commit to living without a past, to be a pariya in an interconnected world. Those who fabricate their own past and present tend to be unable to exist in the reality the rest us to, damning their future. As millionaires, that shipped sailed long ago. However, overtime they become diluted souls the rest of us openly mock (see Mike Tyson, Micheal Jackson) and take joy in seeing fall (See Mike Vick, Britney Spears). Now, I have long believed that the use of perfomance enhancing drugs is done by the majority of athletes in every sport and thus has no impact other then in the indivdual numbers. To vilify the juciers is to live in a dream world. Lets face it, They are who we thought they were! It is like watching "The Perfect Storm" and hoping George Clooney's character survives in the end. We watch sports for the drama on the field, not the stuff that happens beyond the light of the cameras. But to live a lie is to give up ones free will. It is that prison, the prison of the mind, that clemans, bonds, and the rest can enjoy for decades to come. That is why the truth will set you free and make you millions, ...............just ask Canseco...

Now to get back to feeling happy...here you go... Glory Glory Man United!

Strength and Honor

It’s Back

Why no posts lately? No vitriol. New England is the center of the sports universe. It is like every Bob Marley song came true and a blissful utopia emerged. Baseball is still 7 weeks away, the Celtics have only three losses and the Pats went 16-0 during the regular season. With the Pats enjoying the Playoff bye, the C’s have taken center stage. Then I found it.

In the late 1980’s I was coming into my own. I discovered professional sports and rap music in 1987 and two things became clear to me. The first was that my relationship with the police was forever altered by Public Enemy. The second was that I was convinced the Detroit Pistons were Satan’s favorite basketball team. They played anti-basketball.

Now that the Celtics are climbing to the top of the NBA Mountain the Pistons have quickly become a focus of tension for me. A handful of years ago a new look Pistons squad revitalized the Eastern Conference with a very team orientated style of play. It helped that Rip Hamilton was traded to Detroit and became a fixture. However, under the surface a general dislike bubbled. There is also another irrefutable fact, Detroit is Detroit, whether it is 1987 or 2004, or 2008.

The rise of the Celtics led to a great game last month that the Pistons won on a savvy play by former Celtic Chauncey Billups with under 1 second left, nullifying a great Celtics comeback. Thus, Saturday night’s game at the Palace should be a good one. Look for Rajon Rondo to actually be playing late in the 4th quarter. I think Doc is more confident in the lad’s play recently. The Pistons versatility trumps the C’s, but not if Doc decides to extend the bench to include Davis, Scal, and Leon Powe to wear down the Wallace, J-Max, Delfino combination. I think this is a game Planet Pollard should see 7 minutes of play and foul out. If the C’s turn it into a slugfest, and Ray Allen can rebound from a horrid Friday night, I actually think the Celtics can prevail because they have more shooters. The Truth, the Allen’s, House, Posey, and Scal butcher the Pistons from down town. Like the Pats, the C’s are a finesse team that can win really ugly. It is the mark of a truly good team. With that said, Doc will probably want Rondo to push the ball and run the Pistons ragged. Ray Allen is the X Factor, as is coming out of halftime with some fire. It killed us last month.

Enjoy the game. It should be fun, if not an opportunity to start really hating the Pistons again.

I’ve got a Golden Ticket…..

“Got my indignation, but I am pure in all my thoughts…I’m alive”-Eddie Vedder

I saw “Into the Wild” Friday night at Cinema City in H-town. My reaction was not so much to immediately hop in my car and drive to the west and live off the land as much as it was to hop in The Soob and go watch the Indians trounce the Yankees.

There is a special feeling one gets watching the Yankees lose with a bunch of Yankee fans. Its like not being a drunk and going to an AA meeting. It is taking personal pleasure in the misery of a particularly soulless group of people. You are filled with pride; the joy of knowing your self esteem is at its peak performance. This far outweighs the self loathing that typically dominates my life, so a break in the clouds was nice. Of coarse the mammoth blast by Manny capped off the perfect sporting evening.

The funniest moment of the week was Marion Jones’s teary eyed confession on the courthouse steps that she was a juicer. As someone who read Game of Shadows, the announcement was about 4 years too late. I mean, did “she” even have actual credibility anymore anyways? Don’t all Track athletes these days supplement their Wheaties with massive dosages of the Clear? At least she did it to avoid 10 years in jail. Gold medals are not worth a dime in the joint. Somewhere Dwight Stone’s long national nightmare is over. The rest of us can continue to live our lives not caring at all that the Summer Olympics are under a year away from starting. The Over/Under has got to be 50 Gold Medals for China. I’m taking the Over.

Rodney Harrison returned to the Pats this week. He was a psycho before. I just hope he does not decapitate someone this weekend. Kellen Winslow is going to wish he was back on the bike….HGH is a hell of a drug….

The C’s look characteristically out of sorts in the first exhibition game in Rome. It will take time to work out the kinks. There were certainly flashes of brilliance, but no prolonged stretches of domination. It was interesting to see Tony Allen exploding through the lane so soon. I would have figured it would be more then nine months for his knee to stabilize to that level. Eddie House was also a pleasant surprise, though his D is a huge liability..

The Bruins are 1-1. I think it should be considered donating to charity to discuss the NHL in public. They are “caught between confusion and pain…paaaaiiinnnn…”

With all the losses so far this season by traditional powerhouses in college football, if UConn can some how run the table we will be talkin' BCS in January. Keep in mind they still have to play Virginia, Louisville, West Virginia, The Cuse, Cincy, South Florida, and Rutgers. I can taste the Orange Bowl.

The Cubs were eliminated by a young Arizona squad. I guess the Cubs organization should stop worrying about who is going to sing during the seventh inning stretch and more about some pitching and hitting in the playoffs. They will be happy to know Zambrano would have been strong enough to start in game 4. Nice work Sweet Lou, enjoy your Chi Town sized serving of GFY.

The Rockies are awesome. They do not play boring baseball. Too bad I voted earlier this year to have the team contracted for the betterment of the league. Opps!

John Oliver is still way funnier then Chevy Chase.

This week...The Sox move on to the ALCS, The Pats continue to take it to Pleasure Town, and I get less then 4 hours of sleep a night....

So Let It Be Written, So Let It Be Done.....

Hope was Right

The 2007 Women’s World Cup has proved the importance of the Status Quo.
-Brazilians and Germans are tremendous at Soccer.
-The Aussies are full of heart.
-You always choose the hot blonde women from Washington.
-American Soccer coaches over think their tactics and act like idiots.
-The English Football Association can't field a team to get into the final four.
-Only losers like me watch women’s soccer at all, let alone at 6 in the morning.
-Rob Stone is the best.

Thanks to an improved team and an easy schedule, UConn Football team is 14 minutes away from starting 5-0. CT football fans still act lame. There is an elitist element to UConn sports that works with some of the other sports, but Football is a game of the masses. It's time to start some real traditions folks. Leaving in the 3rd quarter does not count. Plus, the rest of the schedule is brutal, with Louisville, West Virginia, and Rutgers in the mix.

Watching the Red Sox win the East was enjoyable, but I have never been a fan of "Lets celebrate like crazy for winning the division." Many a late September party has crumbled into an early October bitchfest. Despite the 12 year drought, I don't know if it was warranted having Cinco Ocho running around with a BUD Light box on his head. Now, if they win the WS at home this year, then obviously all bets are off….

I'm off to the place where the dreams of millions have been shattered like cheap Walmart wine glasses…. Atlantic City...Jermain Taylor vs. Kelly Pavlik, aka "the fight that saved boxing #24".

Also, some of the chosen few who read this have asked about the C's preseason game at The Sun. I am going to make it, I'm sitting courtside section 26. Oh to be able to blow my salary on sporting events!

So let it be written, So let it be done….

Who says nothing good happens after 2 AM?

I was up at about 2:30 in the morning a few weeks ago when I saw the final rounds of the World Championships of the WRPS (World Rock Paper Scissors Society) on ESPN2. Officiated by the great poker player Phil Gordon, the rapid fire competition was hardcore. Like any of you who has the played the game knows, most of the game is luck. However, there are plenty of opportunities to subtly get into your opponents head and “will” yourself to victory.

While on the surface the competition seemed very lame, the more I watched the more I began to recognize that RPS may be the greatest game ever invented. The more I examined the game, I found that the best competitors strategize in a way I never imagined. Percentages have been accumulated examining the "go to" choices for players. This is a game that takes total control of one’s emotions and actions to win. The competition takes a profound level of hand speed, composure, and confidence.

Further more, in order to be successful the competitor must enter into the competition with a strategy that can be easily modified to handle the natural hazards that certainly awaits the competitor. The games was presented as No Limit Poker, but cooler and more masculine.

The best part about the situation was that despite the intensity,…yes intensity, the resolution was met with a sense of peace and serenity. Both competitors shook hands. It was like the end of a series in the NHL playoffs.

It really got me thinking. Why do we decide to settle disputes through an ambiguous list of rituals, procedures, institutions, and laws? Mainly, because someone told us we couldn't do it through RPS. Kids do it. But we choose other methods, even if we can emotionally handle a crushing defeat at the hands of a superior RPS players.

The concept that the rational side of mankind determines a society’s fate is what binds the fabric of this country, and our tradition of democracy that was started long ago. However, this immense pride in our own rationality stops us from evolving beyond the institutions we have now. I have come to believe our current problems have long been the result of the fact that we are blinded by our own hubris. Hubris in the sense that we so strongly have bought into the supposed security and stability of our society that we cannot see the drastic advances that must be made.

What if the current status quo works to promote irrational behavior? If provided more legitimate means, could we rewrite our fate through the use of new instiutions that reflect new rationals?

Like Hoover during the Great Depression, Huey Long running Louisiana, Nixon going into Cambodia, Clinton receiving a hummer in the Oval Office, or Bush going into Iraq, hubris has long dictated the country’s fate or consumed our attention. Hell, it has in many ways dictated the rise and fall of every great empire since the begining of time.

However, our perception toward the legitimacy of our endeavor has rarely been challenged because we believe our inate rationality will win in the end. We believe the organization of society as we know it is as it has to be.

I wonder....

What happens when the irrational lead us?

What happens when modern life manipulates our institutions to a point that they cease to complement the progression of our lives?

Can common sense be destroyed by legislative procedure? When it does, what action is acceptable? Can action be taken by regular people against legislative procedure?

Can a country call itself “Representative” when it's population sprints toward 350 million?

All will be pondered this month…….Stay Tuned
