Reactions to "The Brady 6"


First things first, I want to say that this "year of the QB" thing ESPN is doing is simply great; gotta love giving more credit to the guys on the football field who already get the most credit. On to the Brady piece. I loved it obviously. It was pretty amazing to see how good Brady actually was in College, and how disrespected he got in that draft. This all just goes to prove that the Combine is overemphasized. I mean how the hell does Spergeon Wynn, a QB who had worse numbers than Brady at a 1-AA school, still get drafted ahead of him? It's baffling. Watching Brady's Michigan highlights scouts had to have seen his moxy, poise, decision making, and work ethic right? Dude is a born Winner, he won at Michigan, all he did was win the big game, he knows nothing else. Just hearing Mel Kiper, Mariucci, and Billick read Brady's draft report, while the highlights panned of him just doing everything they said he couldn't, left me starry-eyed, borderline in tears. All of this being said, we learned a few things from the documentary that we might not have known before:

1. Lloyd Carr is the man, want him as my grandpa.
2. Giovani Carmazzi is one weird dude, goat farming without a TV is no ideal life.
3. Tee Martin was my favorite of the qb's taken in front of Brady, just seemed like a good guy.
4. Spergeon Wynn is an energy trader, any explanation of what that entails?
5. Drew Henson is bitter, while Chris Redman is simply a goon.
6. Belichick knew Brady was better than Bledsoe, and seemed almost happy Mo Lewis killed his 50 million dollar QB...gotta love Bill.
7. Tom Brady, whether corrupted and changed by Gisele or what not, is a winner in every sense of the word. He has a genuine desire to give everybody who ever doubted him the big "fuck you" and it's inspiring.

BC Athlete of the Week


It's not everyday a Boston College athlete gets drafted and signs with a pro team, but this week one of our Lady Eagles did just that. Carolyn Swords of the womens basketball team was drafted 15th overall by the Chicago Sky in the 2011 WNBA draft. 15th overall?! That's a lottery pick in the NBA draft. Not really sure what a WNBA player makes? Got to be around $12 an hour, right? Either way, whether it's playing basketball or doing something else, the 6'7'' Carolyn Swords will be just fine. This girl is a saint. Literally, a saint. I see her around Conte every once in awhile and aside from having just the sweetest, kindest voice on the planet I swear she has done more community service than every other BC athlete on this campus. Just always involved and always helping out. Congrats Carolyn, best of luck! Great to see another Eagle in the pros.

Unbelievable Scene Of The Day

So I featured a great up and coming artist T.Ryan a little while back on opening day. I also jokingly said that he read the blog because he put out another great song a day after I sang his praises. Well, the kid DID read the blog. I talked to him today and he is a great kid. I was so pumped when he gave me a shout out. This is a truly great day for the scenes. Make sure you listen to T.Ryan because he is only going to get bigger and bigger!

Jimmer Upset About Not Having To Attend Classes Anymore?

Yahoo - "Whereas other NBA prospects often drop out of school during spring semester in order to focus all their attention on preparing for the upcoming draft, Jimmer Fredette has stopped attending classes for a different reason.
BYU actually requested it.
College basketball's consensus national player of the year is doing all his schoolwork online this semester because his presence had become a distraction in class. Al Fredette told the Glens Falls Post-Star that starstruck students were approaching his son during lectures for autographs and photographs.
"It was getting too disruptive," Al Fredette said. "He can't go anywhere in Provo without being recognized."
That Jimmermania has disrupted Fredette's daily life should come as no surprise to those who followed his meteoric rise from all-conference guard to college basketball's breakout star. Each long-distance 3-pointer or 40-point scoring barrage increased the spotlight on the unassuming senior guard to the point that in the past three weeks alone he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and shot down lingering rumors that he's getting engaged.
It's probably more convenient for Fredette to take classes online since he hasn't spent much time at BYU in recent weeks. In the wake of BYU's NCAA tournament run ending at the hands of second-seeded Florida in the Sweet 16 last month, Fredette has traveled to Houston and Los Angeles to collect national player of the year awards.
One of the best measures of Fredette's newfound fame came at the terminal at Los Angeles International Airport as the BYU star was flying back to Salt Lake City on Saturday after collecting the Wooden Award. According to the Salt Lake City Tribune, dozens of fans — kids and adults alike — mobbed Fredette in hopes of getting a picture or an autograph.
That level of fame has forced Fredette to take precautions to avoid being recognized in Provo.
"I asked him what he does on campus when he goes out," Al told the Post-Star. "He said he wears a hoodie and tries not to make eye contact.""

So Jimmer is apparently upset with his newfound fame. Shut the fuck up and enjoy it while it lasts. Once you get into the NBA you're going to be a nobody. Do you think Adam Morrison or JJ Reddick have to deal with being too famous now that they're in NBA? My advice, milk this situation for everything its worth. Come on bro, you don't have to go to class anymore. Do you know what I would do to not have to go to any classes? I would do terrible, terrible things my friend. So suck it up and use your fame to get yourself laid. Just don't get caught by the Mormon police.

Rivalries Galore


The NBA and NHL playoffs are now upon us, and for Boston it's going to be a story of rivalries. Not going to lie to you, I'm a little hesistant to call either the Bruins or the Celtics "favorites" but both teams are definitely expecting to make it out of the first round. On top of the many story lines, interestingly enough the Celts and the B's will be playing their dreaded rivals, the Knicks and the Canadians, in these 3 vs 6 first round matchup. Well, actually, the Bruins will be playing their rivals and the Celtics will be playign a team that somehow thinks we are their rival but have never touched us. In this regard, I'm more excited for the Bruins-Canadians series. I know we've been harping on the Celtics and how poorly they've played without perk, blah, blah, blah...but if the world plans on continuing to function at a semi-normal level, the Celtics will beat the Knicks in 4-5 games. That being said, the Bruins series is intriguing simply because these teams really don't like each other. Like I'm talking just good ole' hate. We've got the Chara dirty hit story, and the fact that the Mounties in Montreal want to arrest him for it. We've got Mark Recchi talking shit, and Montreal players coming back with their own punk remarks. And, on top of all that's gone on this season, we sent these same Canadians home 2 years ago in the playoffs 4-nill; they probably remember it. I really hope we take it to them again, because it'd be a shame to here the Belle Center in Montreal echoing "nananana hey hey hey goodbye" one more time in their feminine french accents. I also like this series because, no matter what, the Bruins will always be the Red Sox underdog-like team, and the Canadians will always exist as the Yankee big bad french-Canadian sell-outs. No matter the seeding, the Bruins will be playing as the rag-tag group of rebels looking to sly an evil empire: just as the Bostonians have been since 1776.

Wake Up-Would You Rather

Had a shitty, shitty night last night. Seriously, one of the worst I've had in a while, and worst of all I'm still in a shitty mood. But I can't let The Scenes down so I blogged anyways. So sorry, but you're just going to have to deal with how negative and depressing this blog is. Would you rather be punched in the face or kicked in the groin? I mean a hard punch to the face i.e. cheek, eyes, nose, or jaw (you obviously don’t get to choose where) or a solid, wound up kick to the dick while you spread your legs and take it like a man. My last WYR was a win-win where either way your getting to see some hot girls in hot clothing. This time I decided to turn a complete 180 on your asses. This time, either way you vote, your fucked. So choose wisely.

I’m going to take the kick to the groin, and before everyone starts making fun of me saying its because I got a small dick or no dick or some shit like that just hear me out. I’ve heard of so many people needing to get surgery after getting rocked in the face, whether it be a broken cheek or a shattered nose. The bones in your face just break more easily, thats just a fact. And I know people have gotten surgery for getting hit in the balls too, but how many of those times have been sports accidents, or things of that nature, and not just a kick to the groin from an average dude. So I’ll take the swift kick to the dick and the hour or so of pain that follows thereafter over the fist to the face and possible surgery any day of the week. Show them what I mean Kriby Roy.




PS- Why does the animation part show his balls as being blue. Are they trying to say he has blue balls because he doesn't get laid? I'm not buying it Sports Science, not this time. Kirby Roy probably slays more poon than any man in this world.

Would You Rather?
Take a shot to the groin
Take a fist to the face
Results
