Real Reason I'm Sad Basketball Is Over
The real reason I am sad basketball is over is because I won't have Halftime Pizza for the rest of the year. I know Halftime is probably open in the off-season but it seems unethical to eat there unless it is before a Celtics game. Nothing gets me more in the mood for a Celtics game then a couple slices of the pepperoni pizza and a 32 ounce Budweiser in a cup from random restaurants around Boston. In a world full of loud mouth New Jersey Douches and New Yorkers, it is good to have top of the line pizza at a relatively good price.
If you don't know what Halftime Pizza is, I would say go immediately (across the street from the Garden) or Die.
Red Sox vs Rays
This is what happened last time the Sox faced off vs Rays.
Tonight Justin Masterson is going against arch rival, Shield, in what is cracked up to be the battle for the best record in the MLB. I don't expect a brawl to happen again, but Papelbon said that "it's not over" and Manny has been practicing fighting Red Sox employees so he should be ready to go. I actually think it'll be a decent score tonight. My prediction is 5 to 4 Sox, with Jacoby coming up big for the Sox and B.J. Upton coming up big for the Rays and 2 hit batters.
Jamison Back With Wizards
"Sources told ESPN.com on Monday that the Wizards and Jamison would soon finalize terms on a four-year extension believed to be worth around $50 million, mere hours before Jamison was to become an unrestricted free agent" which begins at 12:01 am.
With this signing means Gilbert will most likely be back, due to the fact Gilbert made it pretty clear it is a package deal. Four years is a lot for an aging PF that doesn't play down low, and doesn't necessarily like to play defense. But he can score and the Wizards (if healthy) can score a million points with him, Butler, and Arenas, but the question remains; can they play defense?
This is Bob's boy and he is a huge flamer
Posey Opts Out
According to Boston.com, "James Posey will opt out of the second and final year of his contract with the Celtics."
Well this really isn't big news, we all expected it. The question is, will he take our mid level exception? James said he wanted to come back with the Celtics and trust me I believe he was the centerpiece of this championship run and want him back, but is he worth the 4 year 50 million dollar contract? The Lakers and Hornets along with the Celtics seem to be the front runners at getting him.
Spain Wins Euro 2008
Spain beat Germany yesterday 1-0 to win their first major tournament since 1964. Not apparent from the score, Spain dominated the game. Germany had their chances, but either squandered them or were shut down at the end by Spain's defense. Fernando Torres scored the decisive goal when he bitched Philip Lahm and tapped a hopeful ball over Jens Lehmann. The ball painfully trickled into the back of the net to put Spain up 1-0.
Among the Big Six in European soccer (England, Spain, Netherlands, France, Italy, and Germany), Spain had the longest drought of a major title. Now that honor belongs to the extremely overrated English, who have won nothing since the World Cup in 1966. Meanwhile the decade of the 2000s for Germany has seen them go deep into three tournaments, but leaving with no silverware. They lost the World Cup final to Brazil in '02, lost to Italy in the semifinals two years ago, and now have another 2nd place finish in Euro 2008.

Manny Being Manny?
From ProJo "Manny Ramirez shoved Red Sox traveling secretary Jack McCormick to the ground in an argument over Ramirez' ticket allotment. Several onlookers moved quickly to separate the two.
Ramirez had asked McCormick for 16 tickets for Saturday night's Red Sox-Astros game, an unusually high number for day-of-game. In addition to handling all travel details for clubs, traveling secretaries also take player ticket requests for both home and away games.
When McCormick cautioned Ramirez that he might not be able to fulfill his request, Ramirez responded by shouting: "Just do your job!"
People are going to make this a huge deal because less then a week ago Shawn Chacon choked his GM and got released. All Manny had to do is just had to apologize behind closed doors. Trust me, I understand where people would be coming from if they wanted a harsher punishment but the truth is, that is the difference between an All-Star caliber player and a mediocre pitcher. I will not look too much into this due to "Manny being Manny."
Ummm... What?

A Tip for Cheaters
The internet is a great tool for cheating on tests, homework, presentations, even girlfriends. But be very careful. Let's say you're a college student and you have to write a 5 page paper for Spanish class. You're out of adderall and you've lost your textbook. You might be tempted to use an online translator to help you. But beware. These things can help you with one, or maybe two words. But once you get into phrases and sentences, it's best not to use them. Unless you want to fail, or get financial aid for being retarded.
To prove my point, I took this sentence:
"I like to smell the pretty flowers growing behind my uncle's tool shed."
And translated it from language to language to language. Think of it as a game of phone tag you can play by yourself when you're lonely and very depressed. It will make you feel like you have friends all over the world!
After going through Dutch, German, French, Russian, Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese; this was the sentence it spat out:
"It has the expensive flowers, so that my description uncle becomes after reasonable; the hangar instrument."
So if you are thinking of cheating, ask yourself...what would Bill Belichick do? Or just tattoo WWBBD? on your arm. Then figure out the best way to cheat.

Roger Goodell Thinks Rookies Make Too Much
“There’s something wrong about the system,” Goodell said Friday. “The money should go to people who perform.” and "And that money is not going to players that are performing. It's going to a player that never makes it in the NFL. And I think that's ridiculous." Well Duh Dictator Goodell. Goodell was refering to recent number one pick Chris Long's five-year, $57.75 million contract, with $30 million guaranteed.
You have to agree with Goodell here, but a little too late on his part. I know he probably will not be able to do anything because Gene Upshaw and the players union will not pass anything. I have to admit I like basketball rookie contracts and how they are capped for a certain amount of money.

We Thank You
From the bottom of our hearts.
A million blogs have logged a million posts with regards to one William F Leitch. Make this 1,000,001. You are a genius, a visionary and a leader. Enough words there are not to describe the love we share for you (in the most hetero way possible…of course).
On behalf of every jerk off hack like ourselves, there is a debt of gratitude that will never be repaid. You paved a road that never deserved tar and you blazed a trail that never deserved the effort. Yet, as we look back it all seems to make so much sense.
Sports news without access, favor or discretion. Why didn’t we think of that. So obvious, so simple, so perfect.
Before tarnishing a legacy with more incoherent rambling, let’s just end it with some words of your own. As has been the case so many times, we could not have said it better ourselves.

Good night and good luck.That's all we wanted Deadspin to be all along; a place where people could slip away from their life for a while, dig in, have some fun, then head back to the regular life, where bills must be paid, family must be attended to, jobs must be (slightly) acknowledged. You know: Kind of like sports themselves. Life is difficult. Life is scary. Diversions — real, palpable diversions, places where you can go away and frolic, and then return to the world the way you found it, for better or worse — are rare, and should be cherished. That's what sports are. That's what we hope this site has been. That's what we're certain it will continue to be.

Breaking News: OJ Mayo's Time for Timberwolves Is Over
The Timberwolves and Grizzlies made a deal in which Memphis gets OJ Mayo, Marco Jaric, Antoine Walker and Greg Buckner for Kevin Love, Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal and Jason Collins. Is it me or has Kevin McHale lost his mind. OJ Mayo and Al Jefferson seemed like they would have been a great inside outside duo, but instead it is going to be Kevin Love and Al Jefferson. I don't like it for the Wolves, but I think Memphis got an excellent cornerstone for their franchise. As much as I love Kevin Love, I think he has way more bust potential then Mayo.
I just don't get it. If Kevin Mchale wanted to draft Love he should have just done it with the third pick, or is Mike Miller that big of an addition?
Chad Ford says McHale got the better end of the deal, but I don't see it.
JR Giddens/ Bill Walker
Listen I do not care if this guy had a bad rap in the past. The former Jayhawk turned Lobo has top 15 talent. If not for a barfight in which he got stabbed he would have been a lottery pick. He is extremely explosive, has great 3 point range, he plays with a ton of heart(KG) and has excellent defensive skills and has really good dunking ability. I am not worried about the "character" issues because he is on a team with Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and the ultimate professional in Ray Allen, and they will whoop his ass into gear if he starts messing up. With the potential losses of Tony Allen, Eddie House, and Sam Cassell we need some depth at the guard spot and Giddens can definitely add some depth to this roster.
You gotta get when the Giddens is good.
That is what I always say. (starting now)
The Celtics also traded for
Yup Bill Walker!!! I called it, except for the 30th pick not a trade for the 47th pick but hell I will take this. Bill Walker like Giddens if not for an injury would be a lottery pick. Walker is a super athletic player and is an absolute terror when he drives to the hoop. Bill Walker has a good NBA body at being 6-6, 235 and has a ton of range. Congrats Ainge, you are truly the second round master.
and he from time to time pisses himself:

With the last pick they picked up Semih Erden, a 7-1 C from Turkey. That is all.

Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons to Nets for Richard Jefferson
From ESPN: "The New Jersey Nets and Milwaukee Bucks are on the verge of a trade that will send Richard Jefferson to the Bucks for forwards Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons, according to NBA front-office sources."
Well that was quick stay for Yi. He didn't want to go to the Bucks anyways.
For Bucks: They get a talented player in Richard Jefferson and get rid of a bad player in Yi and mediocre player in Bobby Simmons. Richard won't have any controversy around him and if they keep Michael Redd (which I don't think will happen with this trade) they will have a good nucleus of Redd, Bogut, and Jefferson.
For Nets:
Maybe a change of scenery will make Yi more productive and with a young core of Yi, Williams, Harris and Boone they have a bright future. The deal also gave them 10 million dollars of cap space in a year. Only if they could now dump Vince Carter they will have a lot of money to spend on Lebron in 2010.
Also:
The Clippers and the Sonics made a deal in which the Clippers get the number 4 pick and the Sonics get the number 7 and the Clips 1rst pick in 2009.
With The 30th Pick In The 2008 NBA Draft The Boston Celtics Select...
Bill Walker
I love this kid and I don't care if people call this a reach. If not for an injured leg last year and playing in the shadows of Michael Beasley he would be a lottery pick. Bill Walker recently injured his leg and that definitely hurt his stock a little bit but this kid has pro all over him. Walker is 6'6 220 and plays high above the rim, n absolutely jaw dropping, electrifying dunker capable of getting air like the greatest dunkers of all time, Jordan, Dominique, Vince Carter, Josh Smith etc. his leg strength and explosiveness is off the charts, His skill level is still catching up, but he has shown tremendous progress over the past year. Improvements have been seen in shooting, feel for the game, as well as creating offense off the dribble over powers opponents with his body strength, and it will only get better as he's just a 18 year old pup. Has a killer instinct, with a real nasty side to his personality. Has no problem dominating inferior competition, competes hard ... His upside is incredible, but for now he's a superstar athlete developing into a quality basketball player (NBADraft.net)
The four people I would love to see the Celtics get are:
Robin Lopez, Roy Hibbert, Chris Douglass Roberts, or Billy Walker
With The 28th Pick In The 2008 NBA Draft The Memphis Grizzlies Select....
Courtney Lee
Finally a player I want to write about. Courtney is a lights out 6-5, 200 pound shooting guard. He is a shoot first do everything later type of player. He is an excellent dribbler, that has outstanding range, and is extremely athletic. With Memphis possibly trading Mike Miller, Courtney can step right into his shoes. I like this move for the rebuilding Grizzlies.

6 Fresno State, 1 Georgia
In the battle of the Bulldogs the ultimate Cinderella team Fresno State was able to pull off an unbelievable victory and the college championship. Steve Detwiler was the real reason that Fresno was able to pull off the win, with a record setting 2 homeruns and 6 Rbis. Also, Fresno pitcher Justin Wilson who was supposed to get smoked pitched an unbelievable game in 8 innings, 1 ER and 9ks.
Congrats Fresno, you might be the ultimate Cinderella team ever. Well second to US beating the Soviets, but still pretty remarkable.
Breaking News: O'Neal To Raptors
It's official: Jermaine O'Neal is a Raptor.
The breakdown is Jermaine O'Neal to Toronto in exchange for T.J. Ford, Rasho Nesterovic and the No. 17 pick in tomorrow's NBA draft. I like this trade for both teams. Jermaine may have just been "injured" because he was unhappy, and the Pacers get an extra pick in this years draft.
For Toronto:
Jermaine will be an excellent complementary player to Chris Bosh. He's a deadly player in the low post, and I remember a couple years ago when the Celtics played the Pacers in the play-offs it was an automatic two points every time he touched the ball. The deal will give many isolations to O'Neal and Bosh which is a great situation. If Jose Calderon can play like he did last year and O'Neal can stay healthy, this team will be on its way.
For Indiana:
It is obviously a rebuilding move. O'Neal wasn't healthy or happy so they had to move him. What this move really does is make the Pacers 11 pick much more important. They no longer have to worry about drafting a guard to back up Tinsley and can possibly draft a guy like Brook Lopez, Joe Alexander or Kevin Love if they're around.
All in all, I like it
With The 26th Pick In The 2008 NBA Draft The San Antonio Spurs Select...
Ryan Anderson
Rumor has it the Spurs are already committed to this douche. He is 6-10, 225 but doesn't play like a 6-10 guy. He is an excellent 3 point shooter, decent rebounder and good passer. He should be able to stretch defenses much like Robert Horry did for the Spurs. Anyways, this is the second pick that I have hated. He reminds me of Mike Dunleavy too much, and I don't feel like talking about him anymore.
Prediction: Flamer
Bad Ass
Raffaello Follieri, Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend and fraudulent Italian, has been charged with all kinds of ballsy crimes.
- Six counts of wire fraud and each count carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
- Five counts of money laundering and each count also carries a max of 20 years in jail.
- One count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, which carries a maximum penalty of 5 years behind bars.
-Failed drug test for opiates
My personal favorite... He claimed he was the CFO for the Vatican; claiming people could obtain properties of the Catholic church in the United States at a substantial discount to fair market value.
He also was sued for $55 million for allegedly using company money to spend on himself and Hathaway last year, and to top it off he was only caught because he bounced a $250,000 check. I think he's cool.

Germany 3, Turkey 2
Turkey's George Mason like run through the European championships was ended in thrilling fashion. The Turks had lived off of last minute game-winners, but it was they who were eliminated by a 90th minute goal.
Surprisingly, the Turks came out to a quick start, dominating the first half. They hit the crossbar, then a few minutes later they went up 1-0 thanks in part to a slight miss that fooled keeper Jens Lehmann. It was the first time Turkey had a first half lead in the entire tournament.
But it didn't last long. Lukas Podolski found some room on the flank, before threading a perfect pass to Bayern Munich teammate Bastian Schweinsteiger, who one-timed it into the net to tie the score.
In the 2nd, Germany was on a mission. They played a heavy possession game, not really taking many chances, just waiting for the tired Turks to make a mistake. Keeper Rustu Recber provided the mistake, and Miroslav Klose put the Germans ahead with 10 minutes to go.
Meanwhile, lightning strikes in Switzerland interrupted the international feed of the game. Although most of the world lost the picture, unlike ESPN, they probably sent their announcers to Basel, instead of having them do the play-by-play in a sound studio in Bristol, CT.
The Turks had more late magic in them. Phillip Lahm was bitched on defense, and Semih Senturk deflected the tying goal. But Lahm redeemed himself 4 minutes later with a perfect strike at the 90th minute. Turkey had run out of miracles, and Germany advance to the finals.
If you didn't like international soccer, but watched this game, odds are you became a fan. A back-and-forth David vs. Goliath struggle. Even with the interruptions, it was one of the best matches I've ever seen.

With The 24th Pick In The 2008 NBA Draft The Seattle Sonics Select...
JaVale McGee
I like McGee and I think he can be a Andrew Bynum type of player in a couple of ways. 1) He is huge (7 foot)
2) He is a couple of years away from being an impact player.
The positives for McGee are he's a rare talent, in the fact he can run the floor in a fast pace game, and is very explosive. He's a very good shot blocker and has a lot of potential offensively. He also has a tremendous amount of range- he could knock down the college three when called upon. The reason he has fallen this far is due to his poor work-outs.
NBA Rumors
The Portland Trailblazers picked up the New Orleans Hornets 27th pick in this years draft for cash. The Blazers have the 13th pick also. I smell another draft day trade in the makings.
O.J. Mayo might have a reason to hold up the number two, because a lot of reports are saying that Miami is looking at him and not Beasley at the number two spot. I honestly believe Mayo is going to be the best player out of this draft in 5 years, but that would be a real gutsy thing for Miami to do.
The Contra Costa Times is reporting that the Warriors and Pistons are discussing a possible deal involving Baron Davis for Rasheed Walace and Chauncey Billups. I like it to tell you the truth, the "veteran" presence of players for Detroit has stalled over the last couple of years and they might need a new face to head up their franchise.
There is much trade speculation about Shawn Marion and the number 2 pick. The two rumors that are sticking out is the swap for Elton Brand or Carlos Boozer. I really do not see the benefit of this trade, due to the fact Marion is a younger more healthy player and Beasley could be an elite player for a long time.
The Nuggets have traded the 20th pick in the draft to the Bobcats from a future "protect" first round pick. I don't think the Nuggets had room to sign a first round pick.
I will update this throughout the day
Pete Coors - Making August Busch IV Look Like a Mensa Candidate
What is with these guys? Of all the liquor purveyors in this country, Coors is the only one that should have stayed under after the repeal of prohibition. They have not done a God Damn thing right since. The product is shit (I know, man landed on the moon), their advertising makes the folks at Geico look smart and the gimmicks are not clever enough to trick a Saint Bernard.
I remember when I tasted my first Coors Light. I was 15 and it was free. And warm. And skunked. I loved it, but really, my only basis for comparison was some cheap whiskey I stole from the parents wet bar. Time passed, I realized that Bud Light was much more fashionable and I felt way less gay asking the bums outside the liquor store to buy it for me. Then a funny thing happened. I was 22 and the store near my house was out of BL's. I said fuck it, Coors can't be that bad, picked up a 12 pack and tapped the Rockies. Guess what? It tasted EXACTLY like it did the first time I had it 7 years prior (warm and skunked).
As far as their marketing campaigns go - I'll leave it to Drew Magory of Kissing Suzy Kolber to summarize those efforts:

All of this is well and good but certainly not worth an entire post. That is where the new gimmicks come in and push me right over the top. First we had the mountains changing colors once the bottles were sufficiently cool (blue like your eyes). That was pretty fucking stupid. I've held enough cold objects in my day and I am pretty confident I don't need some paper label to tell me when my beer is ok to drink.It's a beer ad. It's not fucking hard. Start with a monkey. Then show some tits. Then make a dick joke. Then cut to product. See? Gold. Yet these guys constantly fuck it up. Coors Light's motto is "The coldest beer in the world!" Do they understand the logic flaw in that selling point? Oooh, it's so cold, we can only measure it in Kelvin! Morons. You know what the coldest beer in the world is? ANY OF THEM. I had a Coors Light once that had been sitting in the car for an hour in late August. It was anything but cold. So fuck you, Pete Coors. Fuck your advertising, and fuck your cheap, shitty beer. Fuck.
Currently, we are in the middle of the newest cluster fuck of a promotion - vented wide mouth cans. That's right, if the wide mouth alone isn't enough to rush their shitty swill to your liver, now there is a quarter inch vent along side to quicken up the pace. To set the record straight, I was never really on board with the wide mouth thing in the first place. It is not like drinking liquid from a can was ever all that challenging. I'm pretty sure it was something that Terry Schiavo could have managed on a bad day. Plus, worst case scenario, can't you just pour it into a glass? Now we get a vented wide mouth? Pretty sad. Its readily apparent that the brain trust running this shit show has never heard of shotgunning.
You want to impress me Coors, find a way to put a tab on the side of the can along with the one up top. That way, I won't always have to carry keys with me and I won't have to worry about hacking up my fingers and gums on all the shrapnel.

The Week Of Overpaying For Things
Example 1:
Tiger Woods apple core that he threw on the ground at the US open is on auction on ebay and is up to 36,000. C'mon America this is ridiculous. Unless you are a scientist and going to clone an army of Tiger Woods, why would you want this.
Example 2:
As for Doc Rivers' shirt, it was recently sold for 35,000 dollars then Gatorade donated 20,000 to charity netting a total of 55,000 dollars. I can't believe someone would pay 35,000 dollars for a sweaty/ gatorade soaked shirt. I mean it would be a cool memory, but not that much.
What do you think is a better investment?

With The 22 Pick In The 2008 NBA Draft The Orlando Magic Select...
Jason Thompson
The Orlando Magic need a big body and that is exactly what they are getting in Thompson. Thompson is 6-10, 245 PF and is a post forward that would be an excellent complement to Dwight Howard. But with that being said Thompson can also shoot it from 12-15 feet, and has great character which goes a long way now a days. The downside is that he is from a mid-major in Rider, so his competition was not as good as others. However, you can't argue with a guy who has averaged 20-10 for the past two years.

With The 20th Pick In The 2008 NBA Draft The Denver Nuggets Select...
Marreese Speights
The 6-10 250 bruiser from Florida. Speights has great athleticism, rebounding, and shot blocking prowess. He plays a great pick and roll game along with a decent shot. I think with maybe Marcus Camby on his way out they need a more offensive orientated big man. He can be like a healthier Kenyon Martin, and with Allen Iverson coming back he will be a great complimentary players.
Florida is still gay
Hope Solo Back On Team USA
Nine months ago Hope Solo was kicked off team USA for bashing teammate Brianna Scurry after a 4-0 loss to Brazil in the World Cup. However, Solo is back on team USA and Scurry is not. So much for the Coach Greg Ryan ruining two people's careers with that stupid move. Hopefully Team USA will play for the goaltender that once threw them under the bus.One another note: Hope Solo is a close name to Han Solo
Is It O.K. To Kill Pigeons?
"The hawks are our first line of deterrent, and by and large they do the job," Wimbledon spokesman Johnny Perkins said.
"But unfortunately there were one or two areas where the hawks didn't deter the pigeons, so it was deemed necessary to take a harder approach," he explained.
