Just When you Thought The Celtics Couldn't Get Older

They contact Reggie Miller about coming out of retirement. First off Reggie Miller was one of my favorite players when he played, partly because he was a complete dick at times, partly because he tortured Knick fans but mostly because he was so damn clutch. He would hit the most ridiculous shots to win games for the Pacers, the only problem was he was their best player every year. And he never had someone his equal on his team so they never came close to surpassing the Bulls or winning a title.

But that was a decade ago. Earlier today I mentioned they wanted to get Mutombo and while that was moronic atleast it would fill a position of need. The Celtics have no center of value. Ok so what do the Celtics have now, hmm two SG guards in the tail ends of their prime not to mention the fact that they signed Eddie House and the only thing he does well is shoot.

So what the hell kind of role would Reggie possibly fill on this team? The article said 15 minutes off the bench. What does that get him like 4 or 5 shots maybe? When Reggie was at his prime he just ran around and used screens all the time, would the Celtics actually run plays for a 42 year old who's been out of the game for two full seasons? I just don't get you Danny.

REGGIE MILLER!? Why not just bring back Sir Charles, Rodman, and call up a big man like Ewing.

Maybe he was playing NBA Jam and thought he would fit in well.

I bet the next step is that Danny becomes a player/GM and Kevin McHale resigns as Minny's GM to play alongside KG and Danny.

Hopefully Danny is talking the the Chief or Pervis Ellison too. Unless they keep with the white stiff routine and go after Vitaly Potapenko.

Reggie Miller was unreal in NBA Jam. Just send him turboing down the court to either corner and lob him the ball from the defensive end. It was sure fire three every time.

I'm pretty sure when he was on fire you could make full court 3 pointers. Now they just need to bring back the pride of Marist Rik Smits and they have the old NBA Jam team back together

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...
