BSB Acquires Big Three

Posted on November 16, 2011 by jtulz07

It’s been quite the week so far for the Boston Sports Blog. If the Celts aren’t going to be playing, someone has to make moves. With two new acquisitions, the Boston Sports Blog now has it’s own Big Three. Chris came on to write yesterday, and today I want to introduce Nolan Kartholl (@NolanKartholl), self-proclaimed alias: Big Nons. Nolan has a ton of insight on the different aspects of sports and business that will add a unique outlook to the site. He’s also a diehard Orioles fan, so feel free to express your most sincere apologies to him.

Shoot ’em Up

The big story of today is about multiple athletes from the New York area partying in a night club where multiple shots were fired. This begs the question: Why couldn’t Eli have been there? My theory is that Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg again and everyone went crazy. Either that or people were still bitter that both the Jets and Giants lost this weekend and found out that both of their quarterbacks are grossly overrated. Soon after beginning to write this, I realized that only good athletes were allowed to be in the night club. (Kemba Walker, Shane Battier, John Wall, Russell Westbrook) Too bad they didn’t have any games to play…

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

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.

Happy Veteran’s Day!

Thursday Breakdown

Well when you’re right, you’re right. The Bruins are back on track with a three game winning streak and the lockout still hasn’t ended. I guess anyone could have predicted the latter, but nonetheless I’ll give myself a pat on the back.

Elsewhere, not much has been able to shine through the ongoing story over at Penn State. Now, I don’t have too much insight about the situation, but you got to feel for old Joe. I would never stick up for the horrible actions that occurred there, but I mean over six decades of service and overwhelming success for the school and not one of the board of trustees would step up for the guy at all. Kind of sad when you think about. On the other hand that Sandusky guy deserves everything he’s got coming to him. Not enough room in this world for pathetic people like him.

Looming Doomsday

The NBA Lockout: A matter that aggravates just about everyone who enjoys basketball. I’ve been trying to avoid talking about the lockout because in hindsight, nothing has been going on. It’s been an endless cycle of scheduling meetings, “hope” from inside sources, meetings running 15+ hours for three days straight, even more “hope”, then it all blows up within hours and sides are even further apart, repeat. Now I could go into the details about the BRI and the entire CBA discussions but there’s no use. The owners have already won this lockout in a landslide victory. Now they’re just rubbing it in. Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) of SI.com dives into the details in his article, “Owners to Blame if Season’s Lost”. And on a side note, the second to last paragraph is on point! If a deal isn’t made today, you can kiss the season goodbye.

R.I.P. Smokin’ Joe Frazier

Yesterday was a sad but memorable day in history as we lost one of the most renowned fighters boxing has ever seen. I only wish I was around to have seen him live in the ring. Rest easy Smokin’ Joe, you will be missed but never forgot.
