Must Watch: Celtics v. Pistons (Game 3)



The Boston Celtics are up in the NBA Finals 2 games to none.

"Mr. Hollywood" (left) and the Lakers return home tonight it what seems to be a must win. This is because if the Lakers lose, they would go down 3-0, a margin that no NBA team has ever come back from.

So does this make it a must watch?

You tell me.

ABC 8:30 PM

GO HOME


Bears RB Cedric Benson was sent home early this morning from the team's Organized Team Activities. This comes after Benson was arrested for the second time in little over a month this past Saturday. Benson was arrested for drunk driving.

This goes under the "How Could You Screw Up Being a Professional Athlete?" category as far as I'm concerned. Benson was given the gift of football talent and the privilege to play in the NFL. Is it even worth it to take a risk to drive after drinking when you can easily afford a car service with your NFL Salary?

Wake up.


***UPDATE: The Chicago Bears have officially released Cedric Benson.

Strahan Mania

In honor of the retirement of Michael Strahan, here are some of the more interesting bits recorded during his career and final Super Bowl run:








End Game: Hasek, Strahan to Retire on Top


The Power of the Stache

"The Power of the Stache" to belt out his 14th Home
Run of the Season in yesterday's game vs. the Royals

And yes, in that rather blurry photo, the jumbo screen does read "Power of the Stache." Special thanks to Yankee stadium, proving that the only thing worse than Jason Giambi's mustache is celebrating it.

Leading Off

Nothing pleases me more than watching athlete's (and in this case, horse owner's) overconfident interviews after they lose miserably. First, you have Big Brown who was a 'foregone conclusion' to win Saturday's Belmont Stakes. He finished 10th/10.

Then, you have the ever-lovable Tom Brady boasting about how the Patriots are going to easily score more than 17 points in the Super Bowl vs. the Giants. His Patriots lost the game in regulation 17- 14. I bet 17 points were looking mighty fine to TB after the game.

What's worse?
