Coach K Making History

Posted on November 15, 2011 by christoph131

Coach K of the Duke men’s basketball team looks to become the winningest coach in Division 1 Men’s Basketball tonight against Michigan State. Although I am by no means a Duke fan, I respect the way he coaches because he can win championships and doesn’t feel the need to talk smack. In other words, the total opposite of Rex Ryan’s style of losing and putting his foot in his mouth. (No pun intended, but completely intended)

He looks to win his 903^rd game and pass Bob Knight with help from his new star, Austin Rivers. So for one night, and one night only, I will be rooting for the Blue Devils. Hey, if it weren’t for GayGay Reddick I may have started liking them a long time ago.

Heidi, Say It Aint So!

My heart sank when I came across this news, but the Boston Globe reported earlier today that Tito, Theo, and Papelbon may not be the only ones on their way out of Boston. Red Sox in-game reporter, Heidi Watney, is coming up on the end of her contract later this month and inside sources have hinted that she may be calling it quits with the Sox after four years of loyal service. Now, there are no reports to the truth of this, but the mere thought is enough to completely demoralize the already depression struck Red Sox Nation. Thank God the Bruins are back on track and the Pats are in good shape for the rest of the season because I don’t think I can take much more bad news from the other two teams without slipping into a world of misery. Heidi, say it aint so!

End of the Road

Posted on November 15, 2011 by jtulz07

Just like everyone else, I’m sick and tired of all the lockout nonsense. I’ve officially hopped off the “hopeful” band wagon and moved onto the hopeless one. With the reality of not having NBA games this winter, you have to wonder if it’s the end of the road for the Big Three. It kills me to even touch on this subject, but both KG and Ray Allen aren’t signed on for the 2012-13 season. That has to set off an alarm for Celts fans. We’ve become the “small-window” team when it comes to competing for Banner #18, and that window is closing. It hurts to see the potential end to something that has been so great for the city of Boston. I guess now all you can do is keep your fingers crossed.

Penn St. Update

Posted on November 15, 2011 by christoph131

Should Jo Pa have been fired? While at breakfast, two of my friends say yes, the other two of us say no. Sandusky claims that Joe Paterno had never came to him directly to tell him to stop touching little boys (because for some reason he couldn’t figure this one out on his own). How can you believe anything Sandusky says after a quote like this:

“I have horsed around with kids. I have showered after workouts. I have hugged them and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact.”

He then goes on to say “I shouldn’t have showered with those kids.” Probably should have thought about that while you were in the locker room buddy. I could write down all of the things that I think should happen to him, if not for the fact that he would enjoy the majority of them.

Anyways, I think that anyone with multiple decades of service to a University should have the chance to explain their side of the story, especially when nothing has happened to the Board Of Directors (the same board that Paterno brought this news to all those years ago). They are just as guilty as him, if not more so. What do you guys think?

Drum Roll, Please

Introducing Chris Anderson (@Christoph131), the newest author to the Boston Sports Blog. He took a look at the site, liked it, and wanted to help out. So in about a 5 minute span, here he is. Chris has been my boy for as long as I can remember, not to mention he knows way more about college sports than I do. With that said, he’ll be focusing on college sports. Check back shortly for his inaugural post.

Hey, Hey, Hey…Good-Bye

Posted on November 14, 2011 by jtulz07

I can only blame myself for being upset today. This lockout’s been a rollercoaster ride from the beginning. I’ve had days when I doubted the potential season and days when I was so optimistic I thought it would be resolved on the spot. Finally, over the last few weeks I’ve resorted to mere hope, and for that I consider myself foolish. The whole situation is horrendous with millionaires fighting billionaires. Here’s a tip for both sides. Owners (who I put most of the blame on for this whole deal): You have already won the battle. Your employees have sacrificed millions of dollars to make you happy/make up for your OWN losses, and it still wasn’t enough. Players: You are getting paid to play a sport that you love and that others love watching you play. As whole, this league needed the lockout to result in a season more than ever. Both sides have let down a countless number of workers who rely on NBA games for their livelihood and millions of fans who have given countless amounts of money over the past century to see you guys play. Sad day in history for the NBA. Sad, sad day.

The Looch Crew

Posted on November 14, 2011 by jtulz07

This whole Lucic thing from the other night is killin’ me. I follow hockey and am a huge Bruins fan, but basketball is definitely my “go-to” winter sport. So stop me if I’m wrong, but don’t hockey players pride themselves in how much tougher they are than any other athlete? Although not how I’d state it, I definitely do respect hockey players for that aspect of the game. That being said, how can Ryan Miller come out and complain about a hit that resulted in a minor penalty. Did he think he could come about 20 feet out of the net to try and stop a Lucic breakaway without suffering the consequences? I love the mentality of playing tough and physical in any sport if you want to win. Since Miller came well out of his crease to play the puck like a defender, he’s going to get treated like a defender, especially with the Looch coming at you. Anyways, Lucic has a hearing with the NHL today at 1pm to determine if they’ll be any consequences for the hit. With the NFL implementing all these new hitting rules, I’ll be disappointed in the NHL as well if they make a big deal out of this. Never more fitting than in this situation…It’s just part of the game. NO EASY BUCKETS!

B’s Back on Track – Thanks Tyler

Posted on November 14, 2011 by jtulz07

A bottle of blue Gatorade and some Advil on the nightstand was all it took, as the B’s quickly cured their Cup hangover and are again thirsty for victory. The young Tyler Seguin has stepped up his play immensely this season, leading the team in both overall points and goals while claiming the NHL’s first Star of the Week today. Last season he ended the year with 11 goals and 11 assists. Not bad for a Rookie who also contributed to bringing home Lord Stanley’s most prized possession. This year, only 15 games in, he has already racked up 11 goals and 9 assists for 20 points, 1 figure more than his age. Begs the question: What am I doing with my life?

P-A-T-S…PATS, PATS, PATS!

Posted on November 13, 2011 by jtulz07

Tonight the Patriots capped off a solid weekend for Boston sports fans. The Bruins continued their much needed hot streak, and the Pat’s refused to lose their third straight to take their rightful position atop the AFC East. For the first time all season both sides of the ball came out firing, shutting up Rex Ryan and the overrated J-E-T-S. If we play out the season this way, we won’t be stopped. On a side note, it’s always good to see Eli fail miserably. Anyways, great overall Sunday of football.

Celtics Game Day – Mock Season

Posted on November 12, 2011 by jtulz07

After starting the weekend off right Friday night against the Clippers, the C’s went to visit the Cav’s for the second time in this early season. The boys looked a bit sluggish in the first half, most likely from the overnight travel and back to back games. Either way they manned up in the second and pulled through for the routine win.
