can't believe Brad is making us listen to this clown for another season
Joe Mazzulla says the Celtics analytics staff studied situations where teams led by at least 20 over the last decade. He says that when you’re up by 20 in today’s game, not only is growing that to 30 not a realistic expectation, but due to variance, you’re really up by 15. It will most likely shrink to 6 or 7. It comes down to how you then handle that situation.

Quinn and I have traveled to Baton Rouge to watch Tigers football twice. But it was Dale Brown and his teams that made me an LSU fan 40 years ago. The amoeba defense. Shaq. Chris Jackson. His teams were relentless and so was he. Rest easy, coach. espn.com/mens-college-basket…

An all-time great call. I was working at Donelan's supermkt and listening on a transistor radio in the back. I'll never forget that moment. Rest in peace, Mr. Davis and thank you.
Boston College Football mourns the passing of Dan Davis, whose voice became part of the program’s history. From calling Doug Flutie’s iconic Hail Mary in 1984 to dozens of BC Football broadcasts, his legacy will forever be part of The Heights.

This C's window is closed. Like Pierce and co, one title. Underwhelming. 3 of their last 4 yrs as a group, Crazy Joe Mazzula lost to 3 inferior teams, badly outcoached, losing a 7th gm at home and blowing a 3-1 lead this yr. 1 title for this group is his fault more than anyone

I have a couple of thoughts on Canada, hey. The Canadian national anthem at a home Canadian playoff game is a site to see. Number two, the Canadian red uniform is a top three uniform in all of sports.

What would have been a great Curb episode was Cheryl introduces her new (real life) husband to Larry.

Not for nothin’, but the one weakness any HS player can fix is a poor handle / loose dribble / no left, etc. It’s the one skill you that don't need a basket or a teammate and it could be fixed for 15 minutes a day without leaving your basement.

The league should be embarrassed by what the ballscreener is allowed to do now.

Here’s where they miss Horford. Joe playing Queta way too much. Drummond around the rim all night. Where’s Garza? Anyone?

BC needs to hire Luke Murray just so his old man will be around. If there’s anyone that could lighten up that place, it’s Bill.

agree 100%, Rick. I was thinking during the entire game, what would I do differently to stop him? And I couldn't come up with anything.
I'm old enough. All three dominant with very different styles but this is the most unstoppable combination of size, strength and athleticism I've ever seen in MIAA tourney play. Plus the kid has an unbelievable motor.

I realize these NFHS announcers aren’t pros but between the guy pronouncing Josh Roux as Josh “Rocks” and the camera man missing half the game, @nfhs needs to issue some refunds.

...or you have the admin who says we'll give you a certain % COLA increase BUT only if you take on a higher % of health care costs. Gee thanks. What a deal. #shameful
Educators…you didn’t receive a raise when your increased healthcare costs outweigh your salary increase. 😐

Ayer-Shirley 88 Academy of Notre Dame 28. Panthers finish 10-10 and qualify for states! These guys stuck with it, got better and after starting 2-6, went 8-4 the rest of the way. Career highs in points for Ben Andrade (17) and George Logan (15). @tgsports @LowellSunSports

When the JV game is a nailbiter and your varsity guys are out of the locker room watching, and the varsity ref comes over and tells you your guys need to tuck their shirts in, well, in poker that would be called a tell

Bitter Bill Polian, who lost 3 SB's in Buffalo and then couldn't beat N.E. in Indy so had the rules changed, decides a 6x Super Bowl winner needs to wait a year to get in the HOF as some sort of penance. Meanwhile, LT, OJ, Jim Brown, Paul Hornung all convicts and in.

Owner of the Titans should be forced to sell just for firing Vrabel. And Cleveland could have promoted him last year. Dopes. We'll take it.
