The LatestFresh off Charley Rosen's "The Celtics off-season wasn't very good" comes a piece about Bill Walker and how he's ready to prove a lot of people wrong. Walker, 20, has immersed himself in a new life, far from the uncertainties of his Huntington, W.Va., upbringing. He moved to Boston soon after being selected in the... [More]
Charley Rosen, Fox's resident Celtics-hater and… as our favorite photo of him clearly shows… avid nudist, doesn't like what the Celtics have done this offseason. Given all of the possible pitfalls, Danny Ainge's offseason moves have been seriously inept. Even when Darius Miles was at the top of his game, his defense was pitiful, his... [More]

Yes… this qualifies as Celtics content in September. Sometimes, covering the NBA in September can be a lot like Krusty the Clown broadcasting live from the civil defense shack in the remote Alkali Flats of the Springfield Badlands. Today we were joined by Professor Gas Can. Tomorrow, I hope to book former President Ike Eisenhower... [More]
Paul Pierce's dominating performance in the NBA Finals is already ancient history, at least to the scribes over at ESPN. A team of 25 morons experts rolled out their predictions for the upcoming season. Let's just say Paul Pierce and KG aren't MVP candidates. Here's how the voting breaks down: LeBron James (16 votes) Chris Paul (5... [More]
I don't know why things like this still tweak me… but they do. Athletes show up at malls, stores, trade shows, flea markets… wherever… to sign autographs. And fans always line up to try to score one. But no one's scoring anything… unless they show up with some cash. Take, for example, a couple of... [More]
That's VP candidate Sarah Palin… doing sports 20 years ago when she was Sarah Heath. The "Beaver Roundup" happens about :40. It's only notable to me because I'm ridiculously immature. She's actually not bad at this. I really got a kick out stories involving the "Big 8" conference and the Winnipeg Jets. If any of... [More]
For a team that is returning all but 1 of its key players from last year's regular season, the Celtics sure do seem to have a lot of question marks. JR Giddens is one of them. Or maybe he WAS one. Giddens was finally, officially, signed this week… and he came to town to start... [More]
