In addition to coaching some of the best teams of all time, Walsh was one of a select group that can say they changed the game of football significantly.
Very sad news. Our thoughts go out to his family.
As you may know the Kevin Garnett to the Celtics trade talks are back in full force. It was said that the Celtics best young player Al Jefferson was going to Minnesota, which made sense from the Timberwolves viewpoint.
But then this happened
Shira Springer on the Boston Globe’s website
“Kevin Garnett soon could become the newest member of the Celtics, multiple league sources said this afternoon, but two of the sources cautioned that any trade may not be as imminent as some early reports indicated.
As the trade currently stands, the Celtics would send Gerald Green, Ryan Gomes, Sebastian Telfair, Theo Ratliff, and two first-round picks to the Timberwolves for Garnett.
Al Jefferson is not included in the deal at the moment.”
Even as someone who loves Ryan Gomes,
GET IT DONE DANNY!

Yankee slugger Jason Giambi has been sidelined since early June seems to be on the comeback trail, starting this week with class low A Tampa Bay where he will join high ceiling prospect Jose Tabata.
The main “issue” here for New York when Giambi finishes his rehab stint is where do you play him? Due to the type of injury he sustained to his foot, his already atrocious defense will be even more impeded – while not an issue in the AL for way of the DH it does create an interesting clog. The Yankees have been playing Johnny Damon at DH since Giambi’s stint on the DL – Damon has been producing much better and the Yankees were able to insert a plus defender in CF by the way of Melky Cabrera.
Damon has been rotating in and out in the currently vacant DH spot, centerfield and left field – which would enable Hideki Matsui ½ days off but keeping his potent bat inserted into the lineup. The most obvious solution would be to keep Cabrera in CF, Matsui in left while inserting Giambi into the 5 hole and have him DH while tossing Damon in at first – not unlike the Sheffield experiment last season.
Damon is on record for having said, “I am going to play [first] eventually. I am OK with it.” Suddenly the equation becomes clearer, the Yankees better and the race even tighter down the stretch.
Giambi is expected to return (barring setbacks) early August to the Yankees.
When the New York Yankees and GM Brian Ca$hmoney signed the ace of the Hanshin Tigers of the Nippon Professional League – they weren’t expecting for him to replicate his dominance here in the MLB. Rather they were expecting a solid number 4 or 5 back of the rotation guy – who goes deep into the games and throws the ball with his left hand.
Well it’s past judgment time for Igawa – who is likely the odd man out of the Yanks rotation who has been underwhelming to say the least so far in his Yankee career. Igawa currently sports a 6.67 ERA with a 1.53:1 K:BB ratio. With the return of the 21 year old phenom Phil Hughes imminent, he will probably take over the 5 spot in the rotation for New York, bumping Igawa to the bullpen.

Sure as hell doesn’t look like Tim Duncan is..
Is anyone scared of Boston? Short answer no. Look at every team in Sport’s worst division.. the Hellhole or as you might call it the Atlantic Division. Toronto, New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York. Why would any of those teams worry about a few ageing stars and an “upcoming” forward.
Heres what the other teams had to say when interviewed:
Toronto: Boston who’s?
New Jersey: Go back to the lotttery
Philadelphia: Our mediocrity is to much for you
New York: We have Donaghy on our side
On a more serious note According to ESPN’s Hollinger ratings the Boston Celtics have 3 of the best players in the league with: Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Al Jefferson. The only other two teams in the same situation are the Spurs and the Suns and a little hunch tells me those teams aren’t doing to badly.

This is bad, This is very bad. Many have questioned it for years without success. Tim Donaghy is at the center of a federal investigation. The investigation consists of accusations that the NBA Ref “Fixed games and bet on ones that he officiated” Supposedly Donaghy had a gambling addiciton and was threatened by a string of Gangsters who where problem gamblers.
The sad thing is, Now every time you think you see a bad call there will be people claiming that there was corruption. A sad day for the NBA.
The worst part is that this will enable fans to claim any tough loss decided on a call they view questionable. Win by 1? Get ready to hear that “your team just paid the ref off” from sore losers.
This has the potential to be worse than the steroids scandal since steroids do not automatically produce a win, a ref in your pocket all but does.
