Are The Bruins Saving Boston Sports?

I'm not trying to say Boston Sports needs saving (as evidence of a great Sox win last night) but, I've watched every minute of every Bruins playoff game, and probably a handful more regular season games than a lot of the bandwagoners that are watching and tweeting about the B's now (not saying bandwagoners aren't hardcore and the more Bostoners the better). But after last night's 4-0 romp over the Cannucks, I don't think I've ever seen a team play more true to their identity than the Bruins. It's just refreshing. I think since the Dallas Stars game in like mid-january when the B's needed a big win, and they decided to fight the Stars 3 times before the puck dropped, the B's have been the most honest team in all of sport. Every interview, every postgame presser, every shift, the Bruins have maintained that they are a punch you in the mouth, intimidate you, grind it out, scare your wife and kids type of club. They have committed to working hard and instead of talking about it in the media, or simply saying they need to work harder or what not, they've just done it. The Bruins are what we use to love about teams like the Patriots, or any other Boston team for that matter. A bunch of guys who who don't know their wives (nathan horton not withstanding), who don't model for jockey, who don't care abut anything else except winning. It's just the whole 2001 Patriots mantra of "hey, I'm going to hit you when you have the ball, when you don't have the ball, when you're on the sideline, and every time you look at me." This is some old school hockey indeed, but I like to think of it as some old school Boston: and I like it. Go B's.

Don't Mess with the Mojo

Whatever you were doing Monday night when the Bruins gave the Canucks psyche a big Eff You, don't change a damn thing. I have never in my entire life enjoyed a hockey game more than Game 3. The collective rallying around Nathan Hortan after that life threatening cheap shot, the beat down Timmy Time put on that alien-leprachaun hybrid, Sedin, the 8-spot we put on the score board and, the countless number of times the Bs stuck their fingers out just daring the 2-year old Canucks to bite them and, of course, the only thing that really matters... the W. If the Bruins play like they did in Game 3 tonight, and for the rest of the series, the duckboats will be back tearing up the streets of Boston once again.
Now, I'm not a very superstitious guy, I've never been a big believer in lucky numbers or pregame rituals, but Monday night was a near perfection on ice, and with a few more performances like that Lord Stanley is ours. Those of you out there saying, "Oh, 3, what I do doesn't effect the game." Shut up. It does. Believe it or not tonight you have a chance to be a game changer. Opportunities like this don't come around every day. I don't know about you, but tonight, I want to be a hero. I want the cup. And with that being said, tonight I will be sitting on the right side of the couch with my BC superfan shirt on, my red shorts, one New Balance sock and one Yellowtoe; I will have a piece of cookies and cream ice cream prior to the start of the third period, my little brother will write an English essay for the first 2.5 periods before joining us for the third. And if we do all that we can't be beat. We won't be beat. Don't mess with the Mojo.

P.S. Charlie in that video is exactly like the Canucks, just yuckin it up thinking its hilarious he chomped down on his brother's finger. Biting's not funny Charlie. Grow up.

Plaxico Returns..Kindof Like us

Well that was weird. But seriously, this is kindof like what 3 did when I said the blog redesign was over and we could go ahead and start blogging again. He jumped like a little school girl, screaming names like Alex Burrows, and Biting, and Bruins, and Lebron Lucifer. Just pure bliss.

Seriously though, is Drew Rosenhaus geniune here, or just a prick? Honestly, does he think he's Jerry Mcguire? Is he Plaxico Burress's ambassador of quan? This has to be on of the more awkward greetings of all time. I love how small Drew Rosenhaus is compared to Plax. It reminded me of the first time I saw Humpy Dumpy up at Story Land in New Hampshire (rep it 3). Just ran and hugged that half broken egg like he was my savior. Anyway, I'm really surprised Plax didn't just truck Rosenhaus or kick his ass. It'd be like a spontaneous episode of cops, and then we would never have to hear from Plaxico "Ellis Hobbs Can't Cover me on the Goalline" Burress again.

PS. Since when can you bring a louis vouton rolly suitcase to jail? I could have sworn in all of the movies it's like "we had the shirts on our back and that was that."

We made it

Well, that's it folks. We weathered the storm. I didn't think I was going to make it out of the war after the battle with Stats, but after an absolute rout of Excel and Econ, finals laid down their arms in complete surrender. What better way than to celebrate with some new Kinetics and One Love? A few months ago they let out a quick teaser of Will You Be Remembered, with Missy Modell singing, just crushin the hook. After months of anticipation, they unleashed it right on the heels of their Office theme remix happy hour. Both songs are dope, but we have come to expect quality from these guys now. That said, color me impressed. It may not be at the level of Sign Language, but it is fire nonetheless. For those of you who are still on your finals grind, good luck, for the newly minted war heroes, happy summer.

P.S. Remember that post about how Brenton was excited about something huge, turned out to be a new song, Silly Girl. Shame on you, Brenton, for hyping me and everyone up. It pains me to say this because I like your songs, but this one pure garbage. Back to the drawing board kid.

Totally Sucked

I think Jim Mora summs up the last two minutes of that game pretty well. I know the refs sucked, and jeff green can't catch a pass, and danny ainge should be dead, but let's be honest you can't give up a 16029393-0 run to close the game. Also, why the fuck is Lebron crying after the game? Dude, you are lucifer in human form, there are like 7 people on earth who like you and they are the 6 actual Heat fans and that 1 slut you bang. Let's go Bruins.

Update-Doc is coming back. Fuck you lebron we are coming for you next year.

Don't Let Us Win

I was going to get all fired up, calling the Heat cheaters and pussys and all sorts of things. Tell em' that we are going to kick their ass, or KG is going to eat their babies. But instead I've got some friendly advice for them: Don't let us win tonight. Just Don't. If there is one city you don't wanna give a couple more rounds to, it's Boston, just ask the members of the 04' Yankees.

Is This Guy For Real?--Should Our Kids be Robots?

Grand Rapids, Michigan (CNN) -- As a nation, either our kids are getting dumber or everyone else's are getting smarter. American 15-year-olds ranked 14th in reading, 17th in science and 25th in math in a study of students in 34 nations and nonnational regions.
The Program for International Student Assessment study, coordinated every three years by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, definitively shows U.S. students are no longer ready to compete against the world's brightest.
Which brings me to this: Why are we still giving them the summer off?

-cnn.com by Lz Granderson

This is a joke right? What is this Burma? Look I've never heard of this Granderson bro, but he had to be that kid in 3rd grade that tells everyone to be quiet when the teacher leaves the room right? Just a pure brown-noser. But hey, I'm going to give LZ the benefit of the doubt here and consider what life would be like if children stayed in school all here round.

In short, it would suck. First off, by virtue of a simple argument, all of those other countries with higher reading % don't nearly have as many people in poverty, people that can't learn to read, as us because they simply don't have as many people. Numero uno in reading? Luxembourg. Population 35 and they are all bankers, so give me a break LZ, come to me when India can read like this. Secondly, math and science have never been our forte, and until we start convincing our kids to do math problems for 8 hours a day while getting hit with rulers like in Japan and China, it won't be. I'm not saying that the kids wouldn't benefit and learn more from school all the time, but all work and no play makes lil willie a dull boy. From an economics stand point it makes no sense, the kids will be pissed, the parents will be pissed, and productivity will just plummet. Mr. Granderson, you my friend are incorrect in your assessment. Last time I checked we want a country of men and women who know how to work hard, and party harder. Those are the children I want, not Ivan Drago Robots.

Ugh

I just puked everywhere, all over 3, all over my Asian History study guide (sorry Fr. Clarke), all over the giant thing of Powerades I can buy from mac no since I lost my card for 5 weeks and have 700 bucks left, just puke everywhere. I just knew going overtime the Celts had nothing left. Rondo was a shadow of himself, still giving 100%, but simply not the same player, and the rest of em just didn't have enough in the tank. Garnett disappointed me tonight and that possession in OT where he had Dwayne Wade on him was terrible. Don't fade away big guy, just dunk on his midget ass. I can't really blame any of the Celtics though, they once again gave it their all. It ain't over, and with the Celtic mystique you never know what can happen. But I hurt for our boys in green, they worked hard and didn't get the better result. Survive and move on, that's what they must do, force the series back to the Bean, then force game 7, then it's all up to who wants it more. Gotta have some resolve.

Ps. What the fuck was with Bosh's celebrartion after that tip in? It's like congrats dude you went over the back on Ray Allen whose a foot shorter, and put a pinky find on a ball that was in the cylinder. You're a real man now bosh, you're tough now. Pussy.

Put it in the Books

I am so fired up right now. Finals week has sprung upon us and this is the final uber grind before summer. The end is so close I can taste it. This week 4 tests stand in my way and its looming over my head like the fear of Jose Reyes (my pride and joy/alltime favorite) weighs down on my heart. They are absolute wildcards, but Im in the zone and like Jose Im gonna fight until I die to get what I want. Well, today at 8:45 I had my oral exam for perspectives and I absolutely crushed it. Laid it all out on the field and the teach tried throwing a fastball by me but he new as soon as he let it go that the game was dunzo. Dominating the opener of a long week is an amazing feeling and you know that you can handle 7 different kinds of smoke. I owe it all to the song pumped up kicks by foster the people. I don't know what it is about the song but it gets me in the zone and I will happily let you try it out. The song just builds and builds and has a trance like vibe with an extremely catchy chorus. Right now Im playin for the team I love and leaving nothin on the table playin for that final contract. Good Luck on the home stretch folks.

P.S. I haven't posted in a while so I'm gonna throw a bunch of good songs your way.
Obviously Tayyib Ali came out with Keystone State of Mind and its fire. Grab it HERE I wont stop, Supermodel, High Definition, and California Love are my favorites.

Great Mashup by Mocci Beats: Friends till the End

If u were raging at Modstock you noticed that some BC alums, Dean and Ravo, were makin it big in the game out there. Great Stuff. You can grab their album (Show them some love) HERE my favorite song is Finally

Lastly my boys Kinetics and One Love just released a song that is pretty hot: Happy Hour
Definately be on the lookout for their song they have really been workin hard. It is going to be amazing. Its going to drop in about a week and its called will you be remembered. They tweeted at me and personally guaranteed that it would be Fuego and from the snippet I heard its gonna be beyond that.

History Told in 24 Hours

It was the tale of two storied franchises. One with 17 World Championships, one with 16. Both known around the globe as the two greatest rivals, the two most accomplished teams to ever play in the National Basketball Association. Both with histories littered with great moments and some of the best players to ever play the game. Cousy and West, Russell and Chamberlain, Bird and Magic; they transcended the game. There's not much of a discussion as to who the top two franchises of all-time are in the NBA, but in the last 24 hours it became VERY apparent who was #1 and who was #2.
If you were watching the Celtics game last night, you just knew you were witnessing something special. This was history in the making. The Cs, battered and beaten, with their backs against the wall, down 2-0 to the anti-Christ Miami Heat, did what any Boston Celtics team would have done. They battled. They were tenacious, they were passionate, they were tough, but most importantly, they played with heart. Rondo wasn't just coming back onto the court with one arm for himself. He was coming back onto the court for likes of Robert Parish and Kevin McHale, he was coming back onto the court for the "Red Auerbach" name that stretches across the parquet floor, he was coming back onto the court for the 17 championship banners that hang in the rafters above. He came back out because he knows what those 17 banners mean and he knows just what it would mean to put number 18 up there.
If you were watching the Lakers game today, you also knew you were watching something special. Once again, you were witnessing history. The Lakers, down 3-0, had a chance to attempt to become the first team ever to dig themselves out of that hole. What did they do? They folded. They packed it in. No one has ever done it before, why should they be any different? Why should they even try? They played selfishly, they fought amongst themselves and let their frustrations get the best of them as they laid on numerous, absolutely unacceptable cheapshots in the game's extended garbage time. One of the greatest coaches in history, Phil Jackson, will have to walk away from the game knowing his team quit on him. Think the Celtics ever quit on Red Auerbach? Kobe Bryant, one of the great players of all time, made it very clear that he is certainly not even on the same planet as Michael Jordan. And Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum made a disgrace of the Laker name.
You'd NEVER see a Celtic do that. Never. They have too much pride. They know they'd be letting down those who came before them. Kevin Garnett cries, he cries like a little baby cries, when he talks about Bill Russell. He has that much respect for the man. You think Andrew Bynum cares what Magic Johnson thinks about him? Not a chance. He's out to get what's his and that's it. That's the difference between the Celtics and the Lakers. The Lakers are a bunch of individuals and the Celtics are a team. The Celtics are a family. The number of championships have become irrelevent. The Celtics are the greatest franchise in the history of basketball and the Lakers are a very distant second.

Witness

Witness, Lebron, Dirty-Wade, rest of the world, Witness. The Boston Celtics just defined why I'm so fucking proud to be part of this great city and this great region. They just summed up what being knocked down and taking someones best punch only to get up again is all about. Ya Rondo was unreal, he defied medical diagnosis, and he has larry bird sitting in his rocking chair in French Lick, Indiana with all green on chuckling to himself while he smokes a cigar. Like jerry mcguire was right, that is what inspires people, heart. But excluding rondo, its the 13 other guys on that team rallying around each other and their fallen teammate. It's guys like Jeff Greene stepping up when it mattered most, and the Big 3 playing more intense than ever before, as if they were 21 years old again. They all put their arms around each other and their fallen star and said to the demons of the NBA, not today, not in our house, not in our city.

I think Mark Jackson put it best when he said, "for the rest of Rondo's career you can question every aspect of his game, but you can never question his heart." Well that goes for all those guys from Jermaine O'neal to Paul Pierce, you can question their age, their skills, their anything else, but not their heart, not their desire, not their will. It's undeniable. This is us. That's what the Boston Celtics have always been about, that's what this city has always been about, and these are the undeniable facts.

Celts Guarantee Reggie?

Hell-Our spies have informed us that Celts exec Danny Ainge is so impressed with BC point guard Reggie Jackson that he’s already guaranteed the Celts will take him with the 25th pick in this year’s draft. Ainge personally was on hand for a number of Jackson’s game, and is a tremendous fan. The problem for the C’s is that Jackson’s stock is soaring and the thoughts from scouts everywhere is that he will be long gone by then meaning that Boston will have to trade up to select him.

“Danny’s already guaranteed him,” a source close to Jackson’s camp told TKB. “He saw a ton of games at BC this year.”

-knicksblog.com

Now this is really interesting. I kind of had a feeling the Celtics liked Jackson, I mean when there are 5 people in Conte and 3 are me, 3, and danny ainge, that's when you know a team likes a guy. They need some guard help, avery bradley struggles and Ray Ray is getting older so Jackson would be a nice playmaking fit. I still stand by my assertion that Jackson should return for his Senior year. I think he would be even higher than 25th next year, baring some freak injury. But hey, looks like he's staying in the draft so I guess we gotta live with that. From a pure basketball standpoint, it would lay an interesting future for the team with Rondo, Jeff Green, and Jackson, all athletic guys who can run out of the building. All in all, I don't hate this, hopefully Danny can make it a reality. In all seriousness, this such a Danny Ainge move. Who guarantee's shit? Why put yourself in that position? Danny is just such an interesting fellow, and this has gotta be some kind of fine or something right? Whatever. Keep it going Danny let's kick the Heat's ass tonight.

Is it weird that a Knicks blog is reporting this? I didn't even know the Knicks had a blog, didn't know they had the interest for that sort of thing. I guess this is what they can do with all the free time on their hands.

Ps. I hear Reginold looked fly at the Athlete Banquet last night, guess he's got that NBA draft swagg going.

-thanks ponz for the tip.

Sound Familiar?

May 5, 2011

Boston College and Miami have agreed to play their 2011 football game, scheduled for Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., on the Friday afternoon after Thanksgiving, Nov. 25, with a 3:30 p.m. kickoff.

The game will be nationally televised by ABC.

Ummmm I'm pretty down for this. Sounds good to me. I guess the canes don't remember the last time they played on the friday after Thanksgiving.

Is John Lackey The Biggest Puss Throwing Pussy Of All Time?

So I'm watching the sox game right now and John Lackey, once again, is just getting straight lit up. How many times do I have to watch the same tape over again? Every time Lackey takes the hill it's just bomb after bomb. You can make the argument that the last game he pitched was solid, and maybe I just don't recognize his good moments, but it's not about that. It's about the fact that this dude just stands out there with absolutely no fire, zero-emotion. Guy is the definition of dud. I feel like if we were too look inside the mind of John Lackey we would just see Eeyore from winnie the poo. "Oh well, another ding dong for the angels, woe is me." I'd take my maniac Julian Taverez over this guy every day of the week and twice on sunday, and I'd take him for 1/8th the price. Would it kill Lackey to get angry once? Maybe then he'd throw a fastball above 82 mph.

Mouse Chronicles: Day 167

It was late February. The snow was falling outside and two snotty-nosed BC freshmen thought to themselves, hey, maybe we should start a blog. We like sports, we can kinda sorta write, I can't spell, Mucc can make people laugh, we had all the ingredients necessary to get this thing off the ground. And so, Unbelievable Scenes was born. Before long things started taking off. 300 hits a day and more bitches than we knew what to do with. We were just starting to get big and then, out of nowhere, we were dealing with demons. Mice crawling around calling Mucc and I little pretty boy paper champs behind our backs and then scurrying away before we could get a look at em. I tell you what though, no one, I repeat, no one, fucks with the Scenes. We got that fucker and we got him good. Things have changed around these parts since then. I mean, my beards really coming in a lot better than it used to, we're no longer lowly little freshmen... oh wait, still got a week left as the team bitch frosh, but the blog's really skyrocketed since then. No? We're getting 300 hits a day like we were then? Shit, maybe things haven't really changed after all. But just like my beard and the blog, my killer instinct is still on point. We got another one! That's two, count em, two, mice on the year! Just sitting there minding my own business and badabing badaboom, dead mouse in Claver 205. Immediately skinned and mounted, I'm batting a thousand this year and I just want everyone to know it. Why I wasn't used as Obama's "asset" I'm just not sure. Motherfucker would've been dead years ago.

Would You Rather

Would you rather go through school as we normally do here at BC, with five classes and a week of finals, or take seven classes a semester, but have no finals?

My Answer: Seven Classes

I hate finals so much its ridiculous. In a couple of my classes this semester the finals are no big deal, not cumulative and worth as much as a normal test. However in the rest of my classes they are a do or die scenario. Cumulative and 40-50% of my grade. Just absolute game changers. And they're going to be hard as fuck so there is no way I get a decent grade on all of them. I could be acing a class one minute and next thing I know I get raped by a final and boom, somebody's got a D. I could easily fuck with seven classes a semester. I know some of you might get overwhelmed by that, but I would manage by throwing in a few extra skips in each semester. And skipping a few extra classes is nowhere near as bad for your grade as bombing a final. With the rate I'm skipping these days I'm basically only in three classes so two more would be no big deal.

Seven Classes or Finals

Unbelievable Scene of the Day

The Scenes took the show on the road tonight as Mucc and I hit Fenway Park for the Sox Angels game. It was only a fifteen minute span, but in those fifteen minutes my world was turned upside down with just one giant, continuous unbelievable scene. It started off with a man hopping onto the field near Pesky Pole, not really running, more so boucing around with his hands in the air a little bit like something you'd see in out of Rocky. At a full sprint from the bullpen, a security officer caught the intruder with the single greatest hit I've ever seen. When I say he crunched him, I mean he broke the dude's ribs. Hands up and totally exposed the guy just got absolutely rocked and what ensued was absolute hysteria and multiple standing ovations for the Ray Lewis like security guard. I know the Pats didn't really fill their need for an OLB or DE in the draft, but I feel like this guy could be the missing piece? Anyways, it didn't take long for the next great moment to occur as the Bruins score came up on the Monster and a deafening "Let's Go Bruins!" chant rang out through Fenway. David Krecji netted the winner and once again the Bs took home an overtime win and, more importantly, take two wins back to the Bean as they head into Game 3. Literally 30 seconds later the Sox closed out a big time win on the back of a Big Papi home run. And to top it all off, on our way out of the most beautiful place on earth we saw the most beautiful woman on earth. Heidi Watney just strutting her stuff in the depths of Fenway. Now, she looks nice on TV, but in person she's a totally different animal. Just absolutely smokin hot and just begging me to rip those white jeans she was wearing off and conduct a one on one interview with her later... Work it Heidi

Celtics Lose To Heat--Pierce Ejected--Kills Osama

(Pierce at the Osama Killing After Party)

So I was going to rant a rave about how much malarkey that game was in Miami yesterday, but I totally get it now; Pierce was ejected so he could catch his private jet to Pakistan and slay Osama. Just a shame the operation had to roll on the day of game 1, but so is life, Obama understands the Heat winning game 1 means nothing and that Pierce was needed to finish off a mass murderer. On that note I'd like to point out that the Celtics shot horribly and turned the ball over 47 times. I think we'll be OK here. Everyone was just tense about Paul's dangerous mission; again, understandable. I mean even Stan Van Gundy knew that the game was a joke when he asserted that James Jones was a better shooter than Ray Allen, and mark jackson bellowed that Pierce assaulted Jones with a headbutt.

No, no, Mr. Jackson, the only one Pierce was getting ready to assault was that cave dwelling maniac in Pakistan. Can't wait for this series to actual start!! From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, the world knows the Celts shall win this series.

The Storming Of Oneil

From the halls of Bapst library to the shores of that weird fountain, to the beaches of Oneil, last night was D-Day here at BC, and we were not to be stopped. Party like its 1995, economy's up and straight kicking ass.



Posted By Mucc. (Filming by 3)

Proud To Be An American

As 3 and I stormed Oneil library last night with probably 2,000 other students here at BC, it was beautiful to see the patriotism and unity on display that our great land sometimes forgets. It's what makes being American so great. The idea that one shot can ignite a nationwide party that simply will not be stopped. I mean, we hit the libraries, the quads,the mods, and came just shy of full on storming the stadiums, but to me it wasn't the places, it was the people. The standard USA chants, the God bless Americas, the hugs and high fives, the reading of the declaration of independence, and the teary-eyed national anthems. One unbelievable scene stood out in particular that I think sums up last night, and every night our great land comes together and remembers our undeniable ideals:

There we all stood, banging on the doors of Oneil Library, the library named for that great US Senator, and there we waited, as two cops inside took off their hats, got their keys out, and opened the doors. They let us march on in and take the building as if we were the troops on D-day storming the beaches. As we all congregated there, chanting and singing, I turned around and looked at one of the cops: He stood speechless, eyes swollen, mouth gaping, and had his phone out video-taping the entire scene. This man wasn't trying to get kids in trouble or file a report. This guy stood there to film this advantageous jubilee so that he could go home to his wife, and his children, and his grandchildren, and tell them "this is what America is all about." Neither I, nor the officer filming last night knows if Al Queda is finished or if this War on Terror is, or will ever be "over." We don't know if Republicans and Democrats will ever get along, or if the energy crisis will ever be solved. We live by what we know, and what we know, and knew last night, is that America, at its deepest core, is not about our disagreements or our weaknesses, but about the ideals, beliefs, and freedoms we all enjoy together under our flags, our songs, our unity and our justice. It's about what Francis Scott Key wrote back in 1813 "And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there." Through the hard times, the destruction, the argument, and the bombs, our flag, our resolve, our togetherness was and always will return, always will be there. That is what this BCPD officer filmed to show his family, that is what we all remember on nights like last night.

Wild Ride

Been a crazy week folks. An absolute roller coaster ride. I took the music work to the field this weekend on friday and went to Bamboozle. Ridiculous amounts of artists just absolutely bringing the noise on stage. Wiz was definitely a great show, but the group that just skyrocked up the charts was the Dean's list. Energy level was sky high and seeing them perform allowed everyone in the crowd to catch a glimpse at what true bliss is. Then on Saturday that joy should have been shared with Big Herz. I was definitely a resident in heartbreak city, and unfortunately 94 was the mayor. We rally when we fall, but nobody rallies like Herz, and there is no doubt in my mind theres going to be a Herzlich 254 documentary someday.

On a brighter note I found a pretty chill new artist out there called Pj Simas. The guy bust out some pretty good songs. Is it a red flag that his two best songs have the girl vocalists stealing the show? Maybe, but its a bottom line game, and those two songs are fire. Ocean Drop is my favorite and the girls voice is just fire. Instant repeat song. The other champ song is That Good life. All of his stuff is just very chill, which is clutch because you can bump it when you gear up for the final war that is finals. Good Luck kids.

Grab his mixtape here, That Good Life, Imma Party

Fuck The NFL

I'm so sick of this shit. Lockout? Ok, i'll let it happen I understand it's a bussiness. Court case? Ok, fine we gotta resolve it somehow. Not one team drafting BC's Mark Herzlich? That's where I fucking draw the line. I'm sick of Goodell, and I'm sick of the owners, and the coaches and Tom Brady's long hair. Mr. Goodell I have no respect for you, none. You are a cowardly man who sits in his office and thinks that you are above the rest of these money hungry assholes. To the owners: you are the scum of the earth, you have no souls and I have no respect for you either, but fucking figure it out. To the players: you play a game for a living and make more money than 99% of Americans, shut up and play. I realize that in a relative scale you make less money than the owners, and you want a cut of the action, but remember you play a sport for millions of dollars, tell the coal miner in West Virginia who climbs inside a mountain to make minimum wage. Tom Brady: cut your fucking hair you pansy pretty boy, I want my short haired warrior back.

Now on to the Herzlich affair. The 32 NFL teams should be ashamed. Ok so he's lost a step I understand that. And maybe the guys in the later rounds had better credentials (even though I know for a fact half of them didn't), but at that point doesn't skill not matter as much as will? Dude beat cancer? That's a bigger win than the lions, browns, raiders have ever had combined. Piss off, honestly. I know one thing for certain, when you open Mark Herzlich up and you look inside him you'll see a heart the size of the milky way galaxy; and that's the man I want going to battle for me on sunday.

Jump on the Bandwagon

It's amazing. I've never seen a sport with such a strong influx of bandwagoners as NHL hockey. I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't preface this by saying that I have jumped on the Bruins bandwagon so hard. I'll be the first to admit I watched about six and a half minutes of hockey during the entire regular season, but now that it's playoff time I love it. Playoff hockey is a totally different animal. They hit, they scrap, they take pucks in the face. Jack Edwards commentates like at any moment the world could come to an end. People, non-diehard fans like myself, can see this, they can feel it. And, you know what, they like it. I watched every game of the Montreal series (fuck Canada) and I'm sitting there with my hands sweating and my heart going a million miles a minute. When Subban hit that bomb with 2 minutes left in Game 7 my heart sank. I was crushed. Not only had I developed an absolute hatred of that man, but I had developed a hardcore schoolboy crush on the Bruins. What I came to find out, however, is that a lot of people have that very same crush on the Bs. Facebook and Twitter just blowing up about Horton and Jack Edwards and that asshole Subban. Everybody's on this Bruins playoff train and all we can hope is they keep it rolling. Keep jumping on that bandwagon people. I did, and let me tell you, it's one hell of a ride. Go Bruins!!!

Would You Rather

Heres a WYR for all you BC superfans out there. Would you rather Herzlich return for another year of football (even if thats never going to happen, just pretend it could) or Reggie Jackson return for another year of basketball?

Give me Reggie Jackson every time. I think in order for our basketball team to have a chance at being half way decent next year we need him back. The team is already losing the all mighty John Cahill, without Reggie what is left. And I know losing Herzlich is a big loss, but honestly I would rather see him play in the NFL than for BC again. Herzlich has had an amazing journey and the only way it will get any better is if he goes to the NFL and succeeds. I think football's defense is good enough already so we can deal with the loss of Herzlich. Come on Reggie give us one more year. We want some more, we want some more, we want some more Reggie.

PS- Good luck to you, Herzlich. Seriously nobody deserves it more than you. Can't wait to hear your name called tonight.

Jackson or Herzlich

Someone Explain This To Me

So I'm filling out at Res Life survey as part of my punishment for a certain incident when I came across this gem. One of the possible answers for your gender is "other." What does other mean? It has to be transvestite right? But that got me wondering what exactly makes you a transvestite? Boobs and a penis is surely a tranny. But is a vagina and no boobs a tranny too? And if it is what defines no boobs? If you don't have female breasts but large male pecs are those boobs? Or if you have female breasts but they are just really small do they count? I have so many questions yet there are so few answers. Where do we draw the shemale line? A better question is how important is it that we draw this line? Or maybe the true question is why am I so curious about transvestites, but thats neither here nor there. BC would have been better off just leaving "other" out and making all the trannies that get written up just click male and female. Frankly this has brought up more questions than there are answers.

This Is It

Many of us Bruin band-wagoners and diehards alike will tell you the story: those french separatist pansies from Montreal invade our turf, demolish or dignity, and end our season in a pivotal game 7. But I got news for all those Canadians far and wide. From Newfoundland to Victoria, let it ring loud and clear that this atrocity and reign of tyranny will occur no more. Not Tonight. Not This Time.

Why Are Tests Handed Back At the End of Class?

So I just got a test back in one of my classes, and it's neither here, nor there, on how I did. Rather, what irked me about this most recent academic endeavour was the fact that after two weeks of grading this sucker, my teacher has the nerve to pull the "I'll hand these back at the end." The end of class? Really bro? This has to be one of the most annoying things teachers do. I mean, somewhere back in the ancient Egyptian schoolboy days, a myth started that if you hand a test back at the start of class then students will refuse to pay attention for the entire class. This has to be the most idiotic thing ever invented right? Student's obviously pay less attention when they don't have their tests. Since the maestro didn't hand back the test, the normal student is going to painstakingly look at that stack of exams and fail to hear audible sounds for the next 50 some odd minutes until the examination is in hand. Just simply stupid.

I say we're not gonna take it then. Come on teach, be an adult and give us the test at the start of class. Take the bombardment of whiny questions like a man. Let's be honest, we all know you just want to hand back the test after class and duck out of there without hearing any gripe. I say malarkey. I say you know what, next exam, I'm walking in and saying "I'll take this later on in the class."

Spring Game Recap

I meant to blog this last week, but since it's been so busy around here I thought it'd go up now. So last Saturday I attended the BC Spring Football game, and like a lot of spring scrimmages I thought there was some good things and some bad things:

Quarterbacks: C+. It's pretty clear that Chase Rettig is the GUY in this offense and all the other QB's have given way. Chase looked solid in the new west coast offense (20-29 182 yards) completing a lot of quick passes for pretty solid numbers, however he still struggled at times with pocket presence and wasn't great under pressure. It was also frustrating to watch him, many times, have tunnel vision throwing short when he had some combo routes wide open down field. I'd say behind Rettig the best QB was Josh Bordner (Rs. Frosh). Bordner looked solid with the offense and showed some poise in the pocket. Dave Shinskie looked solid at times as well, but once again made really poor decisions throwing under pressure, and actually completed a pass to himself. The disappointment of the day was Mike Marscovetra, who simply struggled all day throwing 2 ints and showing a real lack of comfort with the new system. Everything the qb's do is too slow at this point, and hopefully will speed up with time, but they need to be quicker with their reads and have the leadership to finish off drives.

Running Backs: B+. I was pleasantly surprised with red shirt freshmen Taij Kimble, who looked explosive and elusive, and could challenge the two injured incumbents Montel Harris and Andre Williams. Kimble looked faster than those two, and seemed to be impossible to tackle one on one. Montel carried the ball one time, but came up limping and sat the rest of day as a precautionary measure. Scout team member Mike Jivorski also looked pretty solid. The 5'7'' junior was elusive and was a great pass catcher, almost looking like Danny Woodhead out there.

Wide Receivers: B+ Injuries to Colin Larmond and Alex Amidon sidelined two guys who figure to be in the mix for the starting spots come August, but the other guys seemed to pick up the slack. Clyde Lee and Ifeanyi Momah looked rock solid starting and both had good hands and ran clean routes. With the 3 and 4 WR sets the offense also featured Bobby Swigert and Jonathan Coleman. Swigert looked pretty solid, but was lost at times and actually forced time outs twice by not knowing the calls. Coleman looked explosive, and he and other sophmore Shakim Phillips were getting open downfield quite a bit, but could not seem to get the attention of the QBs to the throw them the ball. All in all this is a deep bunch WRs that looks really improved and comfortable with the west-coast offense; but it's all for not if there's no one to throw them the ball. As for the tight ends, Lars Anderson shined and looked really athletic.

O-line: B-. The starters on the o-line looked good, and were opening up holes early for the running backs. However, they struggled a little bit with multiple blitzes and stunts on the pass rush, and did come susceptible to some serious pressure. I'm sure with more time to work together as a unit this group will gell, and with guys like Emmet Cleary and Nate Richman still leading the line they will become a polished unit. Other than the starters though, the backups and second team seemed to struggle immensely, so we best hop none of the first teamers go down this season.

Secondary: A-. This was the best group of the day. The starters of Donnie Fletcher, Jim Noel, Dominic Legrande, and Okoroa Okapara were athletic and moved well together. Not to mention all these guys help out in the run game and play downhill. I have heard some people say our secondary is a question mark, but these guys looked real good and smooth, working together. The second teamers looked solid too, and incoming freshmen recruit Albert Louis-Jean looked like a budding star, knocking running backs out, and shutting down guys from both the Corner, and Safety, positions.

Linebackers B. Eh. What was suppose to be our best group on defense looked a little slow at times. Luke Kuechly for the most part looked just OK, showing a couple flashes of why he's one of the best defensive guys in the country. Kevin Pierre Louis looked better on the day, and showed some great stuff, especially against the run. Guys like Nick Clancy, and Steele Devitto, who look to take over for Herzlich obviously have some shoes to fill but they will be up to speed come August. I'm not too worried about this group.

D-Line. B-. This group looked best from the outside in. The ends seemed to apply a lot of rush and pressure, but up the middle guys like Dillion Quinn and Conor O'neal looked like they were getting pushed around. Although, the line was missing one of their better interior guys in Kaleb Ramsey, they are going to need to make strides in order that teams don't pound the rock all over us. Guys who looked great out on the ends were incoming freshmen Medhi Ablesmad, and Kasim Edeballi.

Special Teams B. Only saw Nate Freese kick twice, nailed one, and hit the upright on the other. Not too bad should be solid again, and Saturday was a real windy crazy weather day so I'm sure he should be OK once the season is here. Ryan Quigly punted two solid 40-50 yard punts.

Best Feeling in the World

It's about 70 degrees in the Bean today, and it has been warm for about 3 days now, which in New England terms could mean that spring has finally arrived. What does this mean ? Other than the ladies showing more skin (I feel you Sir Dalé), it also means one of the best activities in the world can now occur: The Baseball Catch. See, I'm a football guy through and through; I say give me the pigskin and a couple of receivers and we got ourselves a good time running routes and playing a little two-hand shove. But, even I must admit that throwing the pill around on the first beautiful day in April has to be one of the best feelings in the world. I mean it's just the sound of the birds chirping trying to find a mate and the light breeze that blows the pollin into your face and makes your eyes look as if you've smoked a brick of weed. It's the kid you're throwing with trying to do his best imitation of Timmy Wakefield and throwing you a lackluster knuckler. And yes, it's the sound of that ball as it meets the mitt so perfectly. Just pure joy. It's one of those bonds we all share that separates us from the commies in Russia, or the royalty in England: just the act of grabbin' that dirty, worn-in, glove to catch that stitched ball. It's America at its finest, right James?

Would You Rather

Would you rather only have sex one day a year, but with anyone you choose each time, or be able have sex whenever you want, but with someone who is a 5 out of 10 at best? To set the record straight, for the first option you can have sex as many times as you want in that 24 hour period, but only with the one girl or boy you choose. Secondly, no sex on any other day includes no blowjobs, no handjobs, no elbowjobs, or any jobs of the sort. Also, for those ladies out there who have been complaining that my WYRs are just for dudes here you go. This applies to both girls and guys so have some fun with it.

This one is a no brainer for me. I’m taking door number 1. It would be great to be able to have sex whenever you want, but after a while its going to get boring if the girl is never better than a 5. Plus with the first choice the possibilities are endless. Seriously, think of what you could do if you could fuck anyone you wanted. First I’m going after my main girl TSwift. I’ve had a schoolgirl crush on her since I first laid eyes on her and I have to get that out of my system. After Swift I would go through mostly actresses like Alba, Biel, Johansson, McAdams, etc. with a supermodel thrown in every now and then. Then I would start to get creative and bump uglies with the likes of Palin or Hill Dog (Hilary Clinton for those of you who don't understand) just to say I fucked them. No guy can look me straight in the face and say he has never fantasized, even just a little, about Sarah Palin. Power is sexy and thats all there is to it. With option 1 I get to bang out a good portion of my “fuck-it” list that I would never be able to get to otherwise. Despite an annual 364 day dry spell, I think that one magical day would be enough for this guy.

Once a year or whenever you want
Fuck your dream lay once a year Sex whenever you want but with nobody above a 5

Unbelievable Scene(s) of the Day

Ladies and gentlemen, Jesus is back, it was in the 70s in Boston today and we have not one, but TWO unbelievable scenes today. That's right, a little Easter double dip for ya. Just so many things going on today it's crazy. Boston teams have won 11straight games. I said it once and I'll say it again. I love this town.









First of all, Ben Smith, Eagle alum who we absolutely love here at the Scenes, netted the gamewinner in overtime to send the Blackhawks to Game 7 against the Canucks. Yes, that's Ben Smith, native of...? Winston-Salem?!? As an honorary 860er for this post I am absolutely outraged that this was the call after netting the most important goal of his life.
Ben Smith: Avon, Connecticut. That's all you need to know.


Secondly, we know Rick. Larry's not coming through that door, McHale's not coming back and neither is Parish, but you know what, funny thing, not sure if you've heard but we've got some guys that aren't too bad running around the Garden (Boston or MSG, whichever you prefer. We win either way) these days. Good teams just win. And if you're really good, I can't seem to remember what it's called though...? When you win four games in a row against the same team? When you flat out embarrass someone on their own floor? When you toy with them for three and a half quarters, make them think they have a glimmer of hope? And then rip their heart out? What's that called? Oh yeah, a sweep. Get the brooms out.

I Love Boston

Please tell me everyone just watched that game? That right there, ladies and gentlemen, is what being from Boston is all about. It's about heart, it's about resiliency, it's about getting knocked on your ass and getting back up time and time again. That's what the Bruins did tonight. They just kept getting up. Down 1-0, 3-1 and 4-3 (on a bullshit penalty call by the way, fuck those mountie referees) the Bs just kept dug in and battled their way back to an overtime win and two HUGE wins on Canadian soil. Jack Edwards proclaimed it, "Get Up!" and the Bs did as they were told. I love Boston.

P.S. The Jack Edwards "Get Up" freak out was one of the greatest announcing moments of all time.
P.S.S. Does anyone else feel like Edwards has the ability to give the entire Boston area heart attacks in one night. Not sure Mass General could handle that one.
P.S.S.S. Watch the video. That's what she said...

Would You Rather

Here is a timeless would you rather debate. Would you rather have a cat or a dog for a pet?

I am obviously going to choose the dogs. I fucking hate cats. And here's why

1. I am allergic to cats. Anytime I'm near a cat for more than 10 minutes my face swells up and looks like this (minus the ginger hair and freckles)

2. Cats are dicks. They don't want to play with you like dogs do. Go near a cat and it will try to rip your face off.

3. Cats are like fake tits. Sure they look fun on the internet, but in real life they just aren't what they're all cracked up to be.

4. They shit in your house. At least dogs have the common courtesy to go the bathroom outside.

5. They are nimble, sneaky little fuckers. I know this may sound weird, but cats are the ninjas of the animal kingdom, silent and nimble assassins. And if I've said it once I've said it a thousand times; do not trust ninjas or anything with ninja-esque characteristics. They are just too sneaky for their own good.

BC Eagles Taking Their Talents To NC

So yesterday I was chatting it up with a good friend of the scenes Carly Weilminster of BC's Women's Lax team, and she was letting me know all about our girls down in North Carolina right now at the ACC Tourney. Now I know nothing about lacrosse, but it Turns out they are #11 in the country, and the 4 seed down in NC facing Va tech tonight at 5 in the quarterfinals; so basically they must be kindof a big deal. Also, 3 claims he's seen some of these girls in study hall and they seem way out of his league, so they must be cool. I know we already did a nice little story on fellow freshmen Moira Barry but turns out Senior Kristin Igoe, and Junior Brittany Wilton made the All-ACC team...not too shabby at all. Good luck tonight ladies, and kick Va Techs ass, no one likes those hicks anyway.

Is Purdue Kidding Me?

I'm just not impressed, not only because this machine makes the most annoying sounds known to man, but because they went from Ancient Egypt to the Middle Ages, and then straight on to World War II. I guess the Roman Empire, Colonization, and the American Revolution simply do not matter to these guys. Also, what's with the apocalypse ending? Who's idea was that? Just typical nerdy Purdue Boilermakers, bringing everyone down with their talk of nuclear war and destruction. These guys should watch Pee-Wee Herman's morning machine and take notes...he was always a model citizen.

Okay), and there's just nothing better than laying on the couch watching stupid movies with your brother while he serves you ice cream. Been riding the wild college train pretty hard lately, so it's going to be nice sleeping in my own bed for a change and having a chance at a little R and R. For those of you still in school right now, or those not going home for break, sorry I'm not sorry? Home is glorious.

The Legend of Kanye

Kanye West Performs at Coachella 2011 (Part 1/2) from AreYouOTS.com on Vimeo.

Kanye West Performs at Coachella 2011 (Part 2/2) from AreYouOTS.com on Vimeo.

Kanye West is by far my favorite rapper/solo artist. The man is simply a musical genius. Ever since the Taylor Swift incident, he has gotten a bad rap and the massive swift fan base waged war on him. This caused Kanye to go underground and he hasn't gone on tour or performed except for an unannounced show for the release of his new album(which was genius). Then this Coachella shindig comes along. This is like the West Coast mecca for concerts but I had never heard of it. Well Kanye performed for two hours and just absolutely KILLED IT. The man is back and he's finally performing again. I know that you probably wont watch his entire set, but if you have time or just flip through, you won't be disappointed. Love him or hate him, you cant deny that Kanye is a great musician and a showman. The guy comes out 50 feet over an ocean of screaming fans closing Cali's biggest concert. He said this was the most important show to him since his mom passed away. He dedicated it to her and you could see the passion and appreciation in his eyes and his performance. Kanye's got a chip on his shoulder and its truly a spectacle. I will not rest until Kanye is brought to BC to show you crazy kids how a real concert is done.

P.S. Best songs of the performance: Hey mama(the last song), Good Life(32:50 1st), All of the Lights(20:16 2nd), Touch the Sky(13:15 2nd), Dark Fantasy(opener 2:33 1st), Through the Wire(9:48 2nd), Lost In the World(39:00 2nd), Homecoming(8:38 2nd vid), JesusWalks (12:59 1st), Stronger(25:22), Runaway(31:35 2nd), Flashing Lights (29:00 1st)

P.P.S This was pretty much Kanye unleashing his best stuff all night long, but he should have left the 808 and Heartbreak songs at home and brought more of College Dropout and Graduation.

I like how we are winning this series, I mean the whole giving the knicks a shot thing and then just ripping their hearts out at the end. It's like we are the dude in SAW or something, just great entertainment. My suggestions for the knicks: tighten up Amare's back just as much as his "stomach," and learn how to guard rondo rather than worrying about how we guard their players. Ok? Ok night!

PS. How many times did KG call the ref a mother effer at the end of that game, before, during and after, the celtics got that time out call? I say 7.5.

BC Athlete of The Week

For this edition of BC Athlete of the Week we thought it only fitting to pick an athlete that inspired us this week. Mister David Dale, a Senior on the BC Men's Futbol team, ran the marathon this week, and did it in incredible fashion. Dave was straight up partying Sunday night, woke up Monday morning and practically said, "what the hell, I'll run the 26.2." See, Dalé is one of those seniors that us freshmen will always remember. He's a hardworking, hard partying, mad man. He's that guy that when your a senior, you'll be starting stories in the mods with your bros like, "remember when Dave Dale...." In short: He's what we can only hope to be some day to a group of freshmen. Dude's just the People's Champ. So Dave we salute you, not only for your prowess on the pitch or you're marathon running ability, but for the legend you leave behind.

Wake Up (from a nap maybe) Would You Rather

Its a wonderful time of the year. School is winding down, the weather gets better every day, baseball has just begun, and on top of that basketball and hockey playoffs have started. Would you rather see your hometown hockey team win the Stanley Cup or your hometown basketball team win the NBA championship?

This question may seem to be as simple as whether you like hockey or basketball more. I'm a bigger fan of basketball, but I'm not going to ask for the NBA championship. Being a diehard Boston sports fan since birth, my teams in question are the Celtics and the Bruins. I'm choosing the Bruins because they haven't won a championship since 'Nam. Literally, their last Stanley Cup was in '72 for fuck's sake. The Celtics won the NBA championship 3 years ago, so as long as the Heat or Lakers don't win, I'm happy with the NBA playoffs. I know the B's are down 2-1 in their series right now, but I'm a believer. They turned it around last night with a big win in enemy territory so theres still a chance that 2011 will be our year. Just keep Chara hydrated and we'll be fine. Seriously, how hard is it for a professional athlete to keep hydrated. All we need is water boy extraordinaire, Bobby Boucher Jr., on the B's and that Stanley Cup is ours.

Did the Knicks Win?

Amar’e Stoudemire, Sunday’s star on offense, says the Celtics won’t be able to stop him in Game 2.
“I don’t think there’s anything they can do. Besides try to deny me the ball,” Stoudemire said on Monday. “There’s ways to get open.” Stoudemire also ribbed Glen “Big Baby” Davis: “I know Baby wanted to try to draw contact and draw fouls,” said Stoudemire. “His core is not really as tight as it should be, so I knew I (could) catch him off-balance from that.”

-CBSnewyork.com
God damn, we are so screwed. The Knicks are straight kicking our ass, walking the walk, and now talking the talk. Just humiliating us all over the place, I don't know what we do can now except just tip our hats tonight and call them our daddies.

Oh wait we won game 1? Right. Keep talking New York and leave us and our fat-ass selves to winning.

Breaking News--UMASS Going d-1 in football.

By Mark Blaudschun, Globe Staff

After several months of negotiations, the University of Massachusetts will officially move from the Football Championship Subdivision to the Football Bowl Subdivision level in college football. The official announcement will come Wednesday afternoon in a press conference at Gillette Stadium.

According to sources at UMass, the Minutemen will join the Mid-American Conference in football beginning in 2012 and will play a majority of their home games at Gillette Stadium. The Minutemen will remain as a member of the Atlantic 10 in college basketball.

-Boston.com

Well that sucks. Until UCONN joined the division 1 ranks, BC straight ran the show for premier New England football, it was simply no contest where the best players in the region went year in and year out. Now with UCONN developing quite a program, and UMASS going D1 as well, you have to wonder what this mean for BC and it's quest to burst onto the national scene. In my opinion this most definitely hurts BC. Let's think about this, UMASS is a school that is state funded, parties hard, and has lower admission standards than BC. Thus, UMASS, like UCONN has done, will work harder to get the solid athletes in the region that are either over looked by BC or simply not qualified to get in. I'm talking about local guys like Jordan Toddman at UCONN, who are simply football guys, that want a great atmosphere to play in, and want to go to the NFL, isn't it obvious UMASS or UCONN is going to snag them? What hurts BC the most is that UMASS will be playing their games at Gillette. For years BC has been trying to work with the Patriots to get a game at Gillette, some big time national televised game that would have regained some of the New England fan base that has been lost over the years. Now, the only time they will be playing there is as away foes to UMASS. And that brings me to my next point, BC better play UMASS. It's such bullcrap that we don't play UCONN already, if they don't play UMASS again after next years cupcake game, it will be a big mistake. All a UMASS recruiter has to do is walk into a local kids home and say that BC is too afraid to play them because they are scared of UMASS's up and coming program and boom the kid is swayed. That is the main problem with the Boston College football strategy now of days (and perhaps the school wide strategy) is the fact that the local kids have been disrespected. I do not mean the move to the ACC, but rather that after the move, we made false assumptions of our recruiting abilities in the south. Although we have had some good players from Florida, and other southern states, we have focused less on the good players in the area and let some of the gems slip by.

Even just in the school population itself BC has accepted many more kids from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and all over, rather than New England. This isn't to say I disagree with trying to diversify the community, but the Boston, and New England area, has lost a lot of pride with the school. You no longer see many kids growing up BC fans, especially when they can root for schools like UCONN and UMASS that take predominantly New England kids. I also get that these are large state schools, but still there is a distaste growing among the generally local public for the snobs over here on the heights. It's the same reason why our students section suck at all of our sporting events (sans hockey); there aren't any kids who grew up bleeding maroon and gold anymore.

This year Spaz and his staff did a better job of getting local kids, but there needs to be more effort put into finding the best players in our region that want to come to BC and have some local pride. If we don't, with UMASS going D1, just as when UCONN did, we will continue to lose any local affiliation.
