Bassy Enterprises

Two days ago Sebastian Telfair was arrested on a guns possession charge (his girlfriends gun) after getting pulled over for driving 77 in a 45 in his massive Landrover and the Celtics couldn't run to the teams locker room fast enough to rip his name off of his former locker and say:

I wanted to let you know that we have removed Sebastian's nameplate from his locker in Waltham. The facts and circumstances of his case have not been determined but he does not have a Celtics locker and we do not anticipate that he will," Celtics managing partner Wyc Grousbeck wrote in an e-mail to The Boston Globe on Tuesday.

"The players on the Celtics have been explicitly warned, this year, to obey the team and league gun prohibition as well as state laws. We take this very seriously and will act accordingly once the facts have been determined," Grousbeck also stated.


Personally I think this is completely laughable. The Celtics made a horrendous trade in picking up Telfair and have would have taken anything he could have done as an excuse to attempt to perge him from the roster. How about you do some in house cleansing and tell Ainge that he should have to pay a portion of Telfair's salary. It's not as if Telfair hasn't done stuff like this in the past, he did get caught with a gun in 2005 at Logan airport while going on a team plane.

There reaction was like oh my god Telfair got caught with a gun, this is completely unacceptable, and since he sucks and is a waste of our roster spot right now and is a reminder of how miserable our GM is with regards to trades, we want him off the roster ASAP.

Chad Ford of ESPN does a good job of summing up the Celtics quickness of action, but its an INSIDER article, so you probably can't read it. Basically in essence the Celtics most likely will not put Telfair on the roster, but won't waive him either considering he is still a 21 year old point guard with potential, who doesn't get paid much, and has an expiring contract at the end of next season. So my guess is Danny will be shopping him and his girlfriends gun around the NBA for the next month. My guess is it all depends on whether the C's get a top two pick in this years draft, else you should expect the whatever pick they get (#3, #4, or #5) to be shipped with Bassy and Ratliff for a veteran.

In the end every should be reminded that it was Danny Ainge's lunacy that brought Telfair to Boston, I thought it was a miserable move at the time and somehow it exceeded my terrible expectations. And right now for some reason I almost feel bad for the guy.

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

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
