Celtics fans, who does this clip remind you of? Wait for it...

what's in a name

This article does a good job of summing up the meaning behind the title of this blog.

"In recent years, "it is what it is" has supplanted "giving 110 percent" and "taking them one game at a time" as the reigning sports cliché. Even as Clemens testified Wednesday about the palpable mass on his buttocks, "it is what it is" took a star turn in the other big sports story of the day, the trade of Jason Kidd to the Dallas Mavericks. When asked about the pending deal, Kidd's teammate Vince Carter shrugged it off: "Right now, it is what it is." As it turned out, the proposed blockbuster trade hit a snag. One of the minor pieces in the transaction, Dallas forward Devean George, exercised a no-trade clause in his contract, to the great aggravation of Mavs fans. "It's all coming down on me, and I am being thrown to the wolves," George griped to reporters, "but it is what it is." - Doug McCollam

"hippie olympics, doesn't matter who wins cause they're all losers"

I haven't seen Frisbee footage this sweet since the intermural finals scene between Jerrytown and the Womynists in PCU. Check out this highlight reel from the 2008 Collegiate Nationals UPA Ultimate Championships. Some radical throws and catches went down.

i think that means bunt

Ah, the dugout camera shot. Giving us such timeless classics as the nose pick, the crotch scratch/grab combo, and of course the two finger salute, demonstrated here by Cubs closer Kerry Woods.

did i mention sam cassell is ugly?

This is one of the championship Boston Celtics T-Shirts available online. Is there a better one than this? I'd like to see it. Although, I think the faces could have been arranged a little better. Why is Pollard down in the first row with the starting five? And why is Posey all the way in the back row with Pruitt, Powe and the alien Cassell (speaking of which, when your caricature looks more like a normal human being than your actual face, something is not right.) Eddie House directly in the middle appears to be Paul Peirce's face just flipped around in the other direction. C'mon. It's still a sweet shirt anyway. T-Shirts are sweet.

smithers, why is that man in pink?

For once a completely ridiculous and worthless item didn't sell for way too much money on eBay. It sold for way too much money the old-fashioned way, on the radio! The dress shirt worn by Doc Rivers when Paul Pierce gave him the historic Gatorade bath was auctioned off this past week for charity. Bidders called into the Dennis and Callahan show to try and win the pink-stained shirt. The winner paid $35,000 for the shirt (autographed by Rivers and Pierce) and the actual Gatorade bucket. The winning bid beat out many other people including...Bill Parcells? According to the WEEI producer's blog, the Tuna called in with a bid of $20,000. Was he just joking around or did he seriously want the shirt?

"Well another crazy day at the Dennis and Callahan Show. When Bill Parcells called in at 8:15a to bid 20 grand on the Doc Rivers Gatorade shirt the bidding really took off. One funny note, when I answered the hotline and it was Bill Parcells, I was so excited to hear from him I said, “Hey coach.“ His answer was great -- “That coach title is obsolete.“ So I said, “Well then good morning Mr. Vice President of Football Operations.“ He laughed and I was beeming. Call me a loser but making The Big Tuna laugh is pretty cool in my book."-Iggy/WEEI.com
