Even funnier in retrospect

Cam all but guarantees that the draft class will go down as legendary after 1 pick while making cracks about “we need thumbs that go in this direction”.

and of course the first thing he says about taking Ginn over Quinn “I’ve known the Ginn family for 10 years”. Cam might have gotten some of those thumbs up if he hadn’t let his friendship with a family make the pick for him.

Thank god they got the tuna to make the picks or Cam would have pushed for his godson who punts for Oklahoma Panhandle State.

Spiritfuck: The Joba Chamberlain story

Generally speaking, collegiate pitchers progress through the minors faster than international prospects or high school draftees. Joba Chamberlain is no different – having graduated a Husker no more than a year ago and was signed in a sandwich pick by the New York Yankees.

Bill Walsh, mastermind of the 49ers dynasty passes away at 75

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.

Holy shit, Big Al might stay even if KG comes

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!

Giambi on the comeback trail

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.

Is anyone really scared of the Celtics?

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.
