Unbelievable Scene of the Day

Not gunna lie to you people, it was hard to find something unbelievable about today. I mean even the grilled chicken at mac tasted wrong. But one team did win tonight, our very own Boston bruins pulled out the W 3-2 over the hapless islanders, and gained some momentum going forward towards the playoffs, and revving jack edward's engines even more...maybe they won't choke like last year..but hey knowing the way things are going it's too soon to tell.

Unbelievable Scenes.

We Just Can't Catch a Break

I can't remember the last time something went well for us. I honestly can't fuckin remember the last good thing that happened to me. The highlight of the week was the undercooked bacon and chicken in my mac and cheese tonight. Objects are being hurled across Claver 205 as we speak and Mucc is ready to burn the building down. As I just watched that Asdrubal Cabrera's home run sail over the right field fence into the empty bleachers in Cleveland I thought to myself, "3, when's this shit going to turn around?" Somehow, 3 spoke back, "Ryan, it's never turning around." We just can't catch a break.

P.S. Mucc just left for church. We've hit rock bottom.

Former Eagle Gets The Call Up

("Come on baby, lets go boys")

So this news is near and dear to my heart, but former Eagle, and current Chicago Blackhawk Ben Smith will be in the lineup when the Blackhawks take the ice vs the Blues tonight at 8 pm eastern time. Just great stuff outta Benny, a guy who won Eagle of the Year last year, won two national titles here, and who once threatened my livelihood over a fantasy football dispute. You know the defending Stanley Cup champs gotta believe in Ben when they call him up with 3 games left in their season, and they are fighting for a playoff spot. Dude worked his ass off down in the minors for the year and now has got his shot, lesss goo smitty. Just another guy from Avon, CT showing how we do things in the 860, and an eagle showing how hard work pays off.

Jesse Gets What Jesse Wants

NBC - Who says a good tantrum won’t get you what you want? Instead of getting him a time-out, 4-year-old Jesse Koczon’s crying fit about the fact that he can’t be the governor of New Jersey has gotten him a time-in – in the highest seat in the state. Gov. Chris Christie will sign a proclamation Wednesday making little Jesse the state’s honorary governor for the day. The Old Bridge, N.J. boy is shown crying in the back seat of his parents’ car in a YouTube clip, lamenting the fact that he’s too small to be governor. When Jesse’s mother Dawn Koczon asks him why he’s sobbing, he says, “Cause everyone is telling me I’m too small to be the governor of New Jersey.” The video clip, which was shot on Election Day in November 2009, but recently uploaded to YouTube, got the attention of Christie. Christie responded on Twitter last week: “Don’t worry Jesse, people gave plenty of reasons why I couldn’t be Governor, though being too small wasn’t one of them.” In addition to Christie’s tweet, Christie’s spokesman Kevin Roberts sent the Asbury Park Press a response saying: “The Governor’s Office has seen the video (possibly dozens of times by now) and really enjoyed it.”

I know I'm the Music Man but this is my state we are talking about. You may recall how I said, "You ever seen a crying kid not get what he wants? Me Neither." Yup, Jesse is the honorary governor for the day. Jesse gets what Jesse wants indeed. Turns out 2012 was too long for the little guy to wait.

Is Reggie a First Rounder?

So now that I've had time to digest the Reggie Jackson to the pro's thing, I got to doing some research on the man's chances in this June's draft, and this is what I found. Chad Ford of espn.com had to say:

Reggie Jackson, PG, Jr, Boston College*

Jackson is one of the true sleepers in this year's draft. He's coming off a terrific season at Boston College where he averaged 18 ppg, 4.5 apg, 4.3 rpg and shot an impressive 42 percent from three. He's long, athletic, has great quickness, can run a team and shoot the basketball. Those types of players are typically lottery picks at the end of the day. Scouts have been a little bit slower on the uptake with Jackson, but every NBA team I spoke with has him as a solid first-round pick. A few have him in the lottery. He's also the type that could really rise with terrific workouts. I expect he'll stay in the draft.

I have to admit, as much as I love Reggie and all he brought athletically to BC, I couldn't disagree with ford here more. Reggie's numbers are probably some of the most skewed in all of college basketball. In 3 games against Duke, and UNC (twice) Reggie scored a grand total of 26 points and shot a dismal 25% from the field. Also, in the two key games down the stretch, against Miami at home, and against Clemson in the ACC tourney Reggie scored a 15 and 11 pts respectively while turning the rock over a total of 9 times. And lastly, in the NIT round of 16 at home he scored 8 points on 2 of 11 shooting. Reggie disappeared in almost every big game this year, and at times played too passive, not attacking the rim enough, and not working hard enough to get open. I'll give it to you that he was great, and was great in a lot of games this year, and I'll continue to say that athletically he is right up there with the best in the draft, but one more year would be fantastic for him. Drafted now, Reggie is a prospect and a project because where Ford goes wrong here is that Reggie isn't that ready to run a team, and he isn't that great of a shooter. He is a good shooter but not NBA great, and as far as running the point, Reggie looked more lost sometimes than freshmen Gabe Moton did. Reggie is a great player, but not a lottery pick, even in this weak of a class.

Best Dancer of All Time?

Before everyone makes cracks about how wasted this guy is let's acknowledge one thing: When you are letting the led out, you gotta let it all hang loose. That's what this guy is doing, just straight, unadulterated greatness. He knows exactly what he's doing, every move perfectly calculated, and you know what he's saying to that guy at the 45 second mark "I fucked your wife." And I'm sure that guy just tips his hat and calls this man his daddy.

A Tradition Unlike Any Other

I have to admit, right now nothing seems to be going right in at least my sport's hemisphere. First, The Sox are dogging it out there, losing to lowly Indians in front of 10 people. Secondly, The celtics, although looking good last night for the most part, are still banged up and limping ever so slightly, And lastly, I won't even touch on the obsurdity that is the NFL lockout. But at any rate I've slept easy this week knowing there is one 4 day event that the Football God's (and yes there are no other gods except football ones) can not strip from my soul. The Masters. Thursday through Sunday of this week we can relish one of the greater sporting events that exists today. You know why the masters is great? Because you can root for anyone really, and get behind any common man who swings a good stick. I mean there are the obvious enemies; all Englishmen, and that dude Carmilo Villegas and his gay way of reading puts...hate that guy. But other than that pretty much all guys are fair game, thus always assuring master's Sunday will be interesting. There's nothing like watching CBS's coverage of amen corner, and watching dudes just drop pin point shots, take huge gambles, and make 30 foot putts to the roar of the largest gallery in the world. Also, is it just me or is it always dusk in Augusta? Like always. Gives it that prestigious feel you know? Anyway, I definitely rooting for Tiger in this one. I mean I just hate Phil, even though I'm a lefty, I feel like he gets the good guy wrap and Tiger obviously gets the banging 1000 chicks, asshole, wrap. I'm fine with the latter, plus Phil is fat again. I guess, I just love seeing guys do things right in the haters face, reminds me of when Larry Legend got hurt in the 5th game of the Pacers series in '91, and the announcers said he was done, but #33 just came back out and stuck shot after shot in Chuck Person eye. Let's go Tiger.

Good Morning

You saw the picture and thought this post was about men's basketball, didn't you? Nope, that's not Daniel Adams, but rather Danielle Adams. The Texas A&M big (man?) dropped 30 last night to lead the Aggies to the women's basketball national championship. I know it's early and many of you are just waking up, but how'd you like waking up next to this broad every day. I mean, someone's gonna tie the knot with this Charles Barkley look alike, right? Anyways, kudos to Adams for completely dominating the national championship last night and congrats to the Aggies (Baylor, you let me down).

P.S. Heard the Pats are looking for someone to back up Vince Wilfork? Bill, can we get this girl in for a workout?
