"It's like living in an apartment and finally getting that home"
--Kevin Garnett, on winning his first championship
It begins again tonight. The Celtics go back after it, Gang Green #18. Last year they were in the hunt with everyone else. This year they add the title of "The Hunted" to their resume, with everyone gunning for them, knowing that the C's are still the team to beat. And they are. And before they open their title defense run, known to others as the 2008-209 NBA season, they get their rings (insert how loud and crazy you expect it to be at the Garden here). In front of the Cavs. Who have this guy LeBron. Who's pretty good. And kinda really came of age last season. Against us of all teams. WOW. Game and season on.
If another team wants The Precious they'll have to come get it from the Celtics. Smiegel says, "Good fahkin' luck with that!"

THEN somebody sent me THIS link of a lady indelightful TFB body paint (must have been a SB 42 stunt - we always knew Brady was the tits!), and it begs the question: is this the same lovely lady? Everything says yes, yes it is. And if that's her job to bodypaint her way to more men's computers via painted-on jerseys on players in championship events, well...let me be the first to say GFY, sweetheart! GOOD FOR YOU! I'd ike to encourage more homemade, well-drawn costumes like this for Halloween.
If you have questions about the show gimme a shout at . Let's go Celtics! Let's go Pats! Everybody else GFY!
Kevin Faulk doing an imitation of the dance Fitzy performed after he caught the game-winning touchdown yesterday against the Rams.
Oops, he did it again! The league's best third-down back and one of the most underrated offensive players in the NFL came through the in the Sunday clutch and helped the Pats beat a resilient Rams squad, 23-16. Few games in recent memory that ended with the good guys winning may have provoked more terrible language and colorful cursing from yours truly, and if you watched the game I'm sure you understand why (and if you didn't watch don't tell me you went apple-picking or did something nice 'n family! THAT'S WHAT SATURDAYS ARE FOR, PEOPLE!)
I know it was a beautiful Fall Sunday and shit, but if this was you yesterday, not watching the Pats/Rams game, then I'm afraid youre going to have to turn in your Man Club membership card with Janice at the front desk. Also your beer license is suspended.
There were moments that were absolutely infuriating, like Avery getting by Hobbs on that deep ball, and then O'Neal crashing into Hobbs, allowing Avery to take it to the house (Avery might as well have been wearing a Ghost Rider mask yesterday he was torching the Pats secondary so bad). The defense was not in prime form in the first half, alot of soft spots in zones that Marc Bulger found, much to the frustration of the Pats and the fans. Still, holding them to 10 points was pretty sweet, as it was one of those "It's halftime? And the Rams only have 10 points? Shit, OK, coulda fooled me, but I'l take it. And another beer, stat!"
Here, I think a water-free bath will help your knee, TFB. Come to your barely-clad Brazilian mama.
Well, more visual evidence of why even in injured absence and semi-infected distress tom Brady is the King of Everything can be found at my favorite sites, What Would Tyler Durden Do (wwtdd.com). I don't know when these pictures were taken, but Lords of Light! How did the photographer keep the camera straight, or find focus? To make your day better, or a better day the best, CLICK HERE.
Then, if you aren't already in an ice bath (in the tub Gisele occupies in the picture above), or under a cold shower, feel free to check out Egotastic's bonus pics of Mrs. TFB from American Photo magazine. Again, ALL REALLY TERRIBLE AND UGLY AND UN-LOOK-AT-ABLE.
From what we hear TFB's knee is getting better. Once we get the "All Clear!" on that then you'll probably feel a stiff breeze behind you. That will be the giant, collective sigh of relief from all Pats fans and Tom Brady ManCrushers alike.
Red Sox Nation finds winners. It works out like this (still funny days later)...

Long live rivalry. And Sox fans who taunt hotheaded Yankee relievers so much they flee titty bars in a drunken huff and get pulled over on a DUI. In NEBRASKA.
YOPF will be on 104.1 WBCN, The Rock of Boston, today at 6pm, a day later than my normal visit with Toucher and Rich (something about a MNF Pats game or something last night.) Tune in and get your GFY on. Also, if you ever want to listen to any of the other mouth-trash I've spewed on their fine station then visit Toucher and Rich's Audio Archive. It's like Christmas for your ears: presents and candy and fun for everyone!
The ACL in Pittsburgh '06. Then the Tyree catch. Now I'm on the TFB plan in '08. Seriously, WTF?!
Hey, Football Gods, we got the message loud and clear February 3rd: you don't like cheating of any kind, in any way. We heard you, TRUST ME!
So what's with all the injuries to the big guys on the team? You almost ripped my heart out with the TFB ACL on Sept. 7th. Now you almost rip the defense's heart out with news that Rodney "Human Growth" Harrison is out for the year with a torn quad.
Seriously, WTF? Is this further punishment? Are we just taking it mom-style, on the chin, for years of wins? Is it shit luck? Are we not allowed to win a game at home without losing a starter on O or D? If that's the case then Mossman, White Wes, Don't Hold the Mayo, Ready Willing and Vrabel - I'd watch the hell out, dudes. There might be a greater force, like football injury "Semi-Final Destination" style out there, coming for you...and your legs!
Hey Mr. Meriweather, you been looking pretty good this season. Well, I hope you're fahkin' ready because you're starting now! Oh, and it's Philip with one L.
