Red Wore Adidas

So I looked on the Celtics store website to see if they were already promoting a St. Patty's day jersey, which apparently they aren't yet. But I did get to see what amounts to something even more ridiculous than the Bulls Green Jerseys. That's right those are special Red Auerbach shoes.

"The shoe contains depictions of various Red Auerbach iconographies, including the Celtics logo, 938 wins, 16 championships, his retired #2 jersey and famous celebratory cigar. The sock liner has a parquet floor pattern to emulate the famous playing surface of the Boston Garden. "

It's bad enough that the Celtics have a dance team now which Red would never have a approved of. And now they are trying to market these ridiculous looking shoes under his name? You think he wouldn't be completely shaking his head and swearing at people in the front office with one look at those things. What a Disgrace.

If red were alive he would put his cigar out in the face of whoever came up with this.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
