An auction’s worst buzzkill: Doc’s wetsuit probably dry by now

June 24th, 2008 · No Comments

Heavily-favored bidder Anonymous won another auction for charity this afternoon. This time, defying Earth’s modern day atmosphere, he received a suit that has been wet for over a week.
Such never-dry technology has yet to reached the budget of your common middle-class mankind. It netted $55,000 for The Shamrock Foundation, the assumed laboratory of never-dry technology.

Banner No. 17: The first Celtics YouTube Era championship

June 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

1986.
Lil Wayne was six years old the last time Boston won an NBA Finals Championship. YouTube was negative 19 years old. Gas was 4,207 percent less expensive. I wasn’t even born. (But I bet Don Imus was still a douchebag.)
As I digress, let’s relish our new era of technology and remixes on the YouTube machine. Who’s [...]

Celtics parade actually draws some smokin sports fans

June 19th, 2008 · 3 Comments

BOSTON — In its sixth parade since 2001, Boston finally hosted a victory lap without the previously accustomed miserable February afternoon or dreary October skies from Patriots and Red Sox rolling rallies. None of that — just 75 degrees and enough sunshine to give Brian “Albino” Scalabrini a second-degree sunburn. (Wait… Actually, I didn’t even [...]

June 18th, 2008 · No Comments

Editor’s Note: The Sports Culture will be blogging live from Boston tomorrow afternoon for the Celtics victory parade. I just keep telling myself: It’s five o’clock somewhere.
Close doesn’t count, only in horseshoes, hand granades and guessing parade routes. TitleTown will host its sixth parade in seven years Thursday at 11 a.m., after nearly plagiarizing TSC’s [...]

The Conspiracy: How the Celtics managed to pull it off

June 18th, 2008 · 1 Comment

According to NBC Sports’ Buzzer Beater, which was filmed way before the Celtics won it all, Boston’s success throughout the playoffs was all a conspiracy. The hosts of the show, Matt Stroup — who looks like he’s 12 — and Tiffany Simons — who is surely to give Matt Stroup funny feelings in his pants — [...]

Kevin Garnett unleashes championship, uncorks excitement

June 18th, 2008 · No Comments

Kevin Garnett earned respect and popularity by displaying his signature emotion with on-court chest pounds and vocal motivation. It’s the type of intensity Boston lacked since its glory days in the ’80s — such success that Garnett irked his entire career to achieve, and literally hung over his head at the New Garden.
Tonight, KG uncorked [...]

Instant Analysis: Game 6

Players, fans and the media love to “brand” teams with a catch-phrase themes and signature slogans as they form identities.
Maybe it’s a fun-loving player like Kevin Millar, who coined “Cowboy Up” in 2003. Or the faith-driven Curt Schilling that rebounded with “Why Not Us” in 2004. And when the pursuit of perfection [...]

Prepping for another parade: Here comes the rolling rally!

June 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Looks like Barstool Sports already printed banner No. 17, and de-facto-Level-10-jynx Dan Shaughnessy already declared it a lock, so why not map out a parade route using the Google Maps machine:

And to your right, the obligatory front-page A1 parade feature photo. Eerily similar to the roles Manny and Dougie played in this photo, use [...]
