Revolution Trade Rights to Fred

New England sports fans it's officially time to panic. Your beloved New England Revolution have traded their rights to Fred to D.C. United. Obviously I couldn't give less of a shit about this but I just thought it was interesting that this guy's name is simply Fred. Sure plenty of Brazilian players have one name names like Ronaldinho, Robinho, and of course Pele. Reminder: I don't give a shit I just know those first two names because I used to play Fifa Street, and Pele because he's the Jesus of soccer. But a name like Fred? Where is this dude from? That definitely does not sound like a Brazilian name and actually when I read the article on ESPN Boston, I thought they were talking about the pubescent youtube sensation.

Is It Bad That I'm Rooting For Kirilenko's Hair Right Now?

Andrei's hair is so diabolical that Dennis Eckersley hasn't even made a nickname for it yet. This is all coming from a guy who rocks pube-esque hair on a daily basis so take my word for it when I say that this look is the future of basketball. I love it. I love it. I love it. 

Bill Walton is a gift

Bill Waltons commentary is all over the place and I love it.

The guy just loves life. You can't hate on that and I won't.

In 48 minutes of basketball commentary he managed to compare KG to an embryo, completely over-simplify the C's system, and tell us a story about his 3 months of bed rest during which he grew 6 inches.

Keep doing you Bill Walton. Keep doing you.

This Is Weird

We all knew it would be weird without Perk but so far in this game we look like a completely different team. Jeff Green isn't off to a great start and doesn't really look comfortable out there at all. Krstic is playing well but I still have this weird feeling about him like a teenage kid who gets a new stepfather and refuses to accept him as his new dad. As racist as this sounds I'm just not comfortable with our starting center being white, it reminds me too much of Vitaly Potapenko and we all know how much fun those years were.

I just can't seem to get comfortable watching this new team so far, it's like I have a mental wedgie. Eventually I will learn to love both of these new guys as much as I love Perkins but right now I'm still mourning the loss of The Scowl.

Couldn't Be Happier

The third and final piece of the puzzle has been set. What's this third piece? Can anyone even possibly make the tandem of Dick and Jake better? Only time will tell, but I'm up for the challenge.

I'm Dave. I have a jew fro and moobs so get at me. I'll be getting Doritos all over my Fingers daily and I hope you join us for the ride. Leggo

Posner

Mike Posner's a talented dude. I've been a fan of his music for quite some time now.

While some Posner fans may take issue with this because its a lot more mainstream, this is probably one of my favorite songs of his to date. It's wicked catchy, fairly lyrical, and it just has that classic Posner feel to it that only he can provide.

Also, him and Wayne make an impressive duo. I'm not sure I expected them to mesh so well, but this came out great.

They're at it again

These two are easily one of the best dynamic duos in the history of life.

Best friends their whole lives and now they're just pumping out movies likes newspapers.

According to sources, Ben and Matt, or Matt and Ben rather, are trying to make a movie called "The Trade." The true story of Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson, former Yankees players who famously pulled off an actual "life swap."

These guys traded everything. Wives. Children. Dogs. Houses. Clothes? Maybe.

Attempts to tell this epic tale have repeatedly been shot down by Mikey and Fritzy, who I guess didn't understand how their actions would be perceived by the public.

These nutjobs thought they could get away with this unscathed? Come on now. They had to know that 30 years later, two well-known avid Sox fans would try to make a movie to make fun of them.

Get it done boys.

Strange Thought

This morning I woke up still half-dreaming a little bit and had a very strange half-dream. I was fantasizing that we traded Tim Thomas for Kendrick Perkins. Not Tim Thomas the retired NBA journey-man, but Tim Thomas the NHL goalie. This made me think of a terrible idea to not just let teams trade pro athletes, but to let cities and states trade athletes. If we could trade our entire Bruins team to beef up the Celtics for a few more years and then maybe give the B's a shot when we are finished that would be spectacular. On a side note this would completely ruin sports and I would eventually hate it because we all know New York would completely blow things out of proportion and somehow end up with Lebron Kobe and Pujols and form the greatest multi-sport big 3 ever (run-on sentence...CHECK). But honestly I would love if we could just do this one trade because I miss Perk so much that literally it hurts. I even daydreamed about the Thunder beating us in the Finals today and didn't even get mad. There's only one problem though: Oklahoma City does not have an NHL franchise. Damn.

Dopeness

This is more than a music video. Its like an epic mini-movie.

I've loved this song since I heard the initial version a few months back. The girl on the chorus has such a sexy voice, its crazy.

Eminems voices normally get me fired up and this song is no different but adding visuals triples the effect.

Boston's Pickup Team vs. Denver

Our offense was not OUR offense. Our defense was not OUR defense. We had 9 players so it's whatever but I really hope things come together fast. In 2008 we had Posey play the 4 and KG play the 5 during some stretches so hopefully we can run an offense similar to that with JGreen in the mix. I heard A. Sherrod Blakely question his toughness before the game and I don't know if I agree with him there. Obviously Perk was our toughest player but I think JGreen has some fire to him. Well I mean I don't really watch Thunder games but I know that he attacks the hoop and lets out Pierce-like screams while he does it. Playing on the same team as KG for a while should do it regardless. Can you imagine what Big Baby would be like if he never played with KG? Probably would be goofing off and doing a lot more shenanigans like this.

I'm going to continue not smiling until we get Rip Hamilton and Troy Murphy then maybe I'll smirk a little. Until then I'm gonna go watch highlights of Reggie Lewis and eat Haagen-Dazs. Night.

I'm beginning to fall in love with these NBA Phantom videos. Watching great plays like this one in super-slow-mo is like watching high definition basketball-porn. This play in particular just because Nate goes all bouncy-house over Paul's back after the shot.



It was fun Nate

Wait never mind that's Kevin Hart. Very funny D3

Gloucester fisherman in hot water for licking some dudes ear

Thought we should probably start the blog off with a bang.

So apparently this fisherman, John Cusick, got himself in trouble for getting a little too freaky with a co-worker on board his boat (ship?) the "Sea Farmer II." He allegedly hugged one of his monitors (whatever that is) and stuck his tongue in his or her ear.

Now that's key right there. The article in the Boston Herald did not specify the gender of the victim. If it's a guy that changes the entire dynamic of this story. And if it's a girl then this guy needs to view the situations guide to pimpin. Cause whatever he's doing isn't working.

Getting hit with assault and sexual harassment charges isn't the way to go guy.
