Tony Allen Stop Shooting!

I haven't posted about the NBA playoffs at all since its start because well the first 3 rounds all seem like a formality to me. So even though the Celtics and Bulls series has been fantastic, it kind of seems like a meaningless undercard matchup. But last night inspired rage, so....

TONY ALLEN STOP SHOOTING THE FUCKING BASKETBALL!!!!

Seriously, Tony you can't shoot. You shouldn't shoot. You shouldn't even be in the game on offensive possessions. Why the hell is Tony Allen taking two of the final three Celtics shots in regulation? This makes no sense to me nor anyone who has ever watch Tony Allen shoot. He has no touch. He has no conscience. He for some reason believes he can make shots. He can't.

Up by 5 with the basketball with a 1:15 left, the game is in the Celtics pocket. Yet, they let Tony Allen shoot the basketball. Brick. Brad Miller comes down and buries a 3. Next possession, Tony Allen shoots the basketball again. STOP FUCKING SHOOTING!!! The Bulls come down the court tie the game on an easy Brad Miller layup.

The Celtics had the game completely locked up and then they let Tony Allen shoot. Their reward is what should be a thrilling game 7. I hope they enjoy it.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
