Celtics Suiting Up a College Team

Have you ever had the desire to watch a college team play in the NBA, well if that has ever been a part of your wishes, tune into the Celtics over the course of the next few days. Why? Well according to Boston.com Paul Pierce will be out for 2 weeks. Combine this with the fact that Wally Szczerbiak will be out for a few more games and the Celtics will be suiting up the closest thing to a college basketball team in NBA history. Hell even Scalabrine and Ratliff are out as well, and Olowokandi hasn't played in awhile due to an oblique strain.

Current Roster Minus Pierce and Szczerbiak

Ryan Gomes, 24
Sebastian Telfair, 21
Al Jefferson, 21
Tony Allen, 24
Rajon Rondo, 20
Allan Ray, 22
Delonte West, 23
Leon Powe, 22
Gerald Green, 20

That's the list of players who in addition to Pierce received game time last night against the Warriors. So to put it bluntly without Pierce playing the Celtics will suit up zero players above the age of 25. Meaning only two players who are older then myself, god I feel old now.

If any team loses to the Celtics without Pierce they should immediately hand in their NBA Franchise cards and disband the entire organization. Keep in mind that going into last night the Celtics were in fact leading the Atlantic division but with this little problem could quickly sink to the bottom which would establish a 4 week trend having them Leading the Atlantic 3 weeks ago, to last 2 weeks ago, to first this week, to perhaps last again next week. Gotta Love the NBA.

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...
