Red Sox STILL in first, B's send Seguin packing, and Mannys back.

Albert Pujols has 8 years left on his contract

Yikes! Guy looks shot

At least Stevens lost the fruit glasses. Now instead of looking 23, he looks 21.

I loooooooooooooooooove it! And the beauty of it is, it's contractually impossible for any team to own the rights to Buttjols. He's an Angel for good.

I'm with you. I'll be shocked if a coach from a mid-major has any success in his first three years. This guy has never coached players with the skill-level or egos of the guys he's going to be seeing routinely. He wasn't getting top recruits at Butler and the transition to the pros is simply going to be too much of a jolt.

I think it was Jay Bilas that made an excellent point about college coaches jumping to the pros, something along the lines of "they're just as successful as other first time pro coaches"...

Think about it, a new coach is going to a shitty team or underachieving team...

At least the college coaches have an idea of what it takes/feels like to be successful...

It's going to be interesting to see what happens. I thought the hiring of Jason Kidd seemed premature. I won't be surprised if he burns out quickly.

"Uh, yes? Hello? Is this the athletic dept. for Babson Junior College? Yes, I'd like to submit my resume for your head basketball coaching position. My name is Brad Stevens. You might have heard about what happened in Boston. Please don't hold that again me. It'll be different this time. I promise."

Brad Stevens will probably have UCLA and any other school at his doorstep should this not work out with the Celtics...Real Talk..

he's quickly gaining on ARod for the coveted "worst contract in sports"

He's got 8 years, 212M left on that deal...

5 years $114 for Arod (not including bonus escalators).


Think I'd still rather have Pujols....but it's by the slimmest of margins, and really I want absolutely nothing to do with either.

one city...

Crawford, Gonzalez, Hamilton, beckett, Pujols...that has to be close to a billion dollars in dead weight...

UCLA has been nipping at his heels for a few years now

has there been any update on becketts numb hand?

Real talk from a PUKE Blue Devils fan.

The problem with Kidd is they've created a situation where there is no room for growing pains

His BBall knowledge is as good as any, but that team is now expected to win big now

What swayed him to the pros then? I've always thought a successful college coach should find a home and stay there, ala Bobby Knight or Coach K where they never pay for a meal or open a door in their town. He'd be insane to pick a rebuilding NBA team (especially one with the highest of expectations) over UCLA. I haven't heard much about this though. Did Boston pay him?

Really up in the air on that team...A lot of talent but how are things going to work not only with the roster, but the coaching staff also?

Is Deron Williams the Alpha?

Is KG's corpse going to give you 20-25 minutes of good ball play?

Do they get the Andre Blatche from last year? (Yes, they need the Andray Blatche from last year)...

How do they manage without C.J. Watson (Is Tyshawn Taylor ready?)?

It wasn't Rick Pitino's first rodeo and he still sucked.

I heard the Lone Ranger was awful

Heard compeltely different opinions from 2 people..one said it was great, one said it was unwatchable..

I'll wait until it's on HBO or whatever.

Went to see man of steel with the kids this weekend to get out of the heat for a couple of hours.

Fuck me what a jumbled fucking mess of a movie...had no flow to it...jumped around...and the guy they got to play superman couldn't have made the character any less interesting or personable...

Shit show..don't waste the money.

If you're looking for a family pic? Go see Despicable Me 2, which is getting awesome reviews...

No way you could rather Pujols.

I think there is an extremely good chance much of Arods deal is covered by insurance. This attempted comeback may be a complete failure

But of course I'd rather pujols the player today, but damn, 8 more years

Season ending surgery.


Cherington does it again!
