@Clare: I knew it was coming...

@xhack: Sorry Clare!

I heard female Philly fans are going to shave their pits...

They really should just award the World Series trophy to whatever team spends the most money/has the coolest first-basemen's mustache/has banged Mystique and Aura (down at Scores) the most times.

My dad took me to a weekday afternoon game one time when I was pretty young, during the Alvero Espinoza years. The stadium was so empty that two hot dog vendors came and sat down behind us for about three innings and bitched about how terrible the team was. Then they gave us free dogs.

No mention of NBA point guard Sam Cassel, the lovable alien that Cassel family raised as their own after he crash landed his spaceship into their garage after following an amateur radio signal to Earth?

@Sports-Pun: Kiwi at DE with a hole at OLB is better than Kiwi at OLB with a hole at DE, simply based on the fact that Kiwi is a natural DE and more comfortable there. His pass coverage skills are (or at least last year were) really lacking.

@Jefferson DArcy: I'd love to see Kiwi back at DE, it's his most natural fit. But then I worry about the LBs....

I read somewhere his specific demand was for $8 million and MORE MEAT!!!

@dirty foreigner: I'm a BC grad, and I think I'm pretty upset with you for this comment. But I'm not sure I heard it correctly. My five popped collars are in the way of my ears.

@Secret Identity: Listen, if I'm still hungover, then it didn't happen.

Nothing posted on the Brand to Philly deal yet?

If Deadspin is interested, I have my own write-up of the Celts win last night. This is from the angle of my officemates here in Watertown, MA.

@crazyjoedavola: I live in Boston, and am a NY Giants fan. Last night's victory gave all the Boston fans the courage to finally stand up and tell me "We have the best team in all 3 major sports this year. Because everyone knows the Super Bowl was a fluke. The Pats were the greatest team in the history of the NFL last…

@DeepFriar: I'm not a Celtics fan. But god forbid people have a little fun during a collassal ass whooping just a week and a half after everyone around the country and on TV picked the other team because they had "the next Jordan" on their team.

I haven't seen it written anywhere, but instead of giving each of them an individual curtain call, Doc had Pierce, KG and Allen come off the floor in the 4th at the same time.

Very hard-working, highly respected man. As an Upstate NY native, one time media member and BC grad, this is how I'll remember him:

I would pay big, big money to have Bill Walton call me up on a regular basis, tell me he's an adversary of mine, and berate me for 10-15 minutes. It would be the best thing ever.

Any truth to the rumor that Strahan plans to make a little money in retirment by filling in for the Lincoln Tunnel on its days off?

Say whatever you want about Boston douchebaggery (and I have) but being in a bar with everyone going crazy when Pierce walks back out to the parquet.... magic.
