Could you live without ESPN?
Todays big story in the sports world is that ESPN is getting a lot of tax breaks. Shocking! What company doesnt. I can see why people get angry about this though. Joe 6 Pack is working his ass off to keep the heat on at his house in the winter and he doesnt get a tax break but ESPN does? What gives???? So ya it's BS but facts are facts. ESPN is almost 1/2 of all of Disneys profits and if the people of Connecticut what to pay hardball fine, I'm sure some other state like Utah or South Dakota would do the same thing to allow ESPN to come there. Anyway this story is overall pointless, but it got me thinking could I live w/out ESPN? I'm talking no ESPN on TV, no ESPN radio and no ESPN websites. I think I could pull it off. I mean there are hundreds of other sports websites out there and I'd probably watch all the highlights I missed on Fox Sports 1 or Youtube the next day. The thing that would suck the most is if the Patriots were on Monday night Football and I would have to listen to the game on the radio like it was the 1940's. The college football games this week would be a bummer. I spent about an hour last night watching the Little Caesasr Bowl between Bowling Green and Pittsburgh. All in all I think I could do it, so ESPN screw you and refund me back $5.54 a month of my hard earned money I am giving you to cover the costs of your crappy shows like "Dan LeBatard is highly questionable" and "First Take".
Knicks want Rajon Rondo
This weeks hot off the presses rumor is that Rajon Rondo is going to the Knicks. The Knicks think they can get him before he goes to free agency. I know rondo can leave in free agency after the 2015 season by who do the Knicks think they are? What the hell are they going to give up to get Rajon Rondo? The Knicks dont have a pick in 2014 and the Nuggets can swap picks with the Knicks in 2016. I guess they can throw in their 2015 pick and maybe an expiring contract, but I dont want that. I say rondo is worth at least 2 first round picks. Anything else doesnt get the deal done. But all in all why would Rondo want to jet Boston for the Knicks before he is a free agent? They suck even worse than us. The Celtics suck now but at least it seems like we have a plan for the future. The Knicks are a disaster, why volunteer to go there?

RE-SIGN STEPHEN DREW!!!!!!!!!!
I don't give a shit how much it costs. 7 years 150 Million, 8 years 175 million, whatever Boras requests!!!! Just get it done Cherington! There is no price too high for a man who is a vacuum cleaner at short and has a zen like connection w/ animals.
Pierce's House vs KG's House. Take your pick.
It still doesn't look right. Honestly it's like being reminded of a bad break-up. Well the break-up wasn't bad, but you get the point. Anyway, back to the matter at hand.
Both of these guys are selling their old homes in suburban Boston. I know I know I was stunned as well that they didn't own townhouses in Hyde Park. But if you had unlimited funds which house are you buying? Here's a tale of the tape:
Pierce 2.65 M. 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 partial baths, 7600 sq ft. Lincoln, Mass
KG 4.2 M, 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 partial baths, 11000 sq ft. Concord, Mass
Having a house on a lake is pretty sweet, but the last thing I need in my home is a gym. I would never use it, so I see it as a waste of space. Call me frugal but I would take Pierces home. I think it has just enough room for my entrouage

Guys are now cooking the Thanksgiving Turkey
This here everyone is the beginning of the end for America. 1st it was the gays being allowed to marry then it was the hippies being allowed to smoke pot freely. I thought the final straw was insurance companies no longer being able to deny people health insurance because of pre-existing conditions. (Seriously if you cant make people miserable how can I enjoy myself.) But men cooking the thanksgiving turkey is utterly ridiculous. I thought we were having a "war on women"? How are we winning the war if we start cooking the thanksgiving turkey. What's next sewing? bad driving? menstrual cycles?

Celtics refuse to tank, Ray Allen is a little bitch
Honestly the best part of this video for me is Kelly Olynk trying to get awkward white guy high fives from Gerald Wallace and Jeff Green. (:39 second mark) They just leave him hanging. So cold.
Well it appears the Celtics are not going to tank this year. Even if they lost this game I would still feel that way. I really think they are too good to be in the bottom five of the league in terms of a high lottery pick. Also there are so many other bad teams in the NBA I don't think they could do it. I think you have to be in the 20-25 win range to get in the bottom five and I don't see this team doing it. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Once side of me wants them to be absolutely awful so they can get Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins but then it will not be any fun to watch the Celtics this year. I guess we can go for that 8th seed and get spanked by the Pacers or Heat in the 1st round. Who knows.... Fuck it I'm going to enjoy the ride.
As for Ray-Ray... WWAAHHHHH!
KG and Pierce still will not talk to me. Really? Do we really need to talk about this? I don't blame them for not talking to you. There's 28 other teams in the league Ray Allen could of left for and no one would care, but he chose to go to the arch-enemy.... for less money that what the Celtics or other teams offered him. You signed a deal with the devil Ray, so just stop talking about it. God I hate the Miami Heat. Most hateable franchise in sports. In 1st place by a mile over the Montreal Canadiens and New York Yankees.
Not the way I want to go...
YIKES! This right here is my worst nightmare. I couldn't even watch one second of that Ryan Reynolds movie ''Buried" I'm so freaked out my this. How about the lady who discovered this guy? Holy SHIT! could you ever go to a cemetery again?
