Agent says Favre still retired

feeds@yuku.com (JMost) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 16:07:07 GMT

In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

(I'm hoping some of you will get the reference.)

Can the Bruins join the party?

feeds@yuku.com (JMost) — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:01:30 GMT

I don't know if there are any hockey fans here, or Bruins fans. I used to be a huge hockey fan many years ago when Bobby Orr was playing but fell away from the game for a long time. Periodically I would try to watch but found the game boring. But they've opened up the game with some rule changes and the speed is back in the game and much more fun to watch.

Now with the Bruins playing well and about to skunk their archrival Canadiens, I'm getting into it ( and yeah...

Why does Isiah Thomas keep getting jobs?

feeds@yuku.com (yakyakyak) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:19:38 GMT

Seriously. He's failed in job he's gotten since retiring as a player.

Now he's got the head coaching job in Florida. Really?

Ruining the Knicks franchise for the next few seasons wasn't evidence enough that he has no clue how to run a organization?

How about taking a Pacer team that were routine finalist and not getting them past the first round after he took over isn't evidence enough?

Or being the first GM of Toronto and taking...

MLB 2009

I'm looking forward to another entertaining summer of baseball. Could be a great three team race in the AL East.

Take a look at this video of the guy replacing A-Rod for the next month. Pretty amazing feat.

2009 March Madness Brackets

feeds@yuku.com (JMost) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 16:18:30 GMT

I've set up a private group on Yahoo for the 2009 NCAA tournament. Anyone is free to enter.

The group ID number is 36779
The password is celtics17

We won't be able to fill out our brackets for a while, but maybe someone could try signing up just to make sure everything is working ok. Let me know if there are any problems getting in.

Where have all the simleys gone?

feeds@yuku.com (yakyakyak) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 18:42:10 GMT

There are a lot of broken links on half of the similes. Are we losing them because of the poor economy and Celtics17 had to make budget cuts? In that case we should fire some of the mods and cut costs that way instead of the similes. Or we can also ban any members over 50. (dunk behind couch simile).

Annoying Ads on Sidebars on Sports Web Pages

I'm getting a little tired of looking at someone else's bulging waistline. Having to work around my own is painful enough . . .

Whatever happened to...

In this case, Kevin Pittsnogle, but please post stories of other former players too:

This came to me today and gave me a good laugh.

Grand Central Station people freeze

I found it on Yahoo's top viral videos.

Holiday Gift Thread

Happy Holidays everyone! What did you get for Christmas, Hannukah, Kwaanza, Festivus, etc? What is Celtics-related? Mine was, but I won't reveal it until I've taken a picture to post.

Peace on Earth.

All time favorite sad songs

This caught my eye and got me thinking.

All time heartbreaking songs

What is your favorite all time sad song?

Come on. Fess up. You guys have soul and heart for more than just basketball.

It is really a genre I'm drawn to, without really knowing why. I don't think I'm...

Isiah Thomas and George W Bush

feeds@yuku.com (JMost) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:15:46 GMT

Ok, so here's the question: If Isaih Thomas had been President and George W Bush had been the GM/Coach of the Knicks, which of the following would be true?

1) Both the country and Knicks would be in better shape.
2) The country would be in better shape but the Knicks would be even worse.
3) The Knicks would be in better shape but the country would be even worse.
4) Both the country and the Knicks would be in worse shape.

Discuss.

Pedroia wins MVP!

feeds@yuku.com (JMost) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:01:33 GMT

I'm actually surprised. I thought the two Red Sox candidates would dilute each other's votes and neither would win. And I would have voted for Youk myself. But it is still very cool for a guy who's always been told he's too small to win the MVP.

We need a hot off topic discussion!

feeds@yuku.com (yakyakyak) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:46:33 GMT

Advertising revenue for the off topic discussion forum has dropped significantly due to a lack of interest. We need suggestions for good thread ideas to lure back potential advertisers. My suggestions are...

1)Reasons why Jughead doesn't post as much anymore?
2) Why MVBob is better than MBob!
3) tenaciousT: Alien or science classroom experiment gone horribly wrong?
4)What's on your favorite bookmark tabs?( ex: Ugh = porn,porn,more porn)
5) Things for...

Rays vs Philles...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

feeds@yuku.com (ugghhhh) — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 08:13:24 GMT

How bad do you think MLB wanted Sox vs Dodgers, but got the minor league finals instead. Rays don't have any real friggin fans as you could walk up to the gate at game time and get playoff tickets. I do think Philly could use a title as they are getting as miserable as Boston fans in the '90's.
