Mini-Tourney Round Two Results!

Upsets in Region B, and a tie vote in Region V create some excitement. High seeds still lurk in the lower Regions N & T. With there being no winner in the Tom Caron/Hogdale tilt, the Committee has decided to call in a replacement player: Framingham Lou Merloni.

Round Three, an important number in baseball and in tournaments will start tomorrow, Wednesday July 23rd.

What could this mean?!

Top 18 Things Not Discussed in the ‘Celtics City’ Documentary

Before their time with us was done, we sent the Intern Street Team out to ask the locals what was left out of Bill Simmons’ Celtic City documentary they wanted to have in there. Here are their answers-

“If there was a connection between the Old Boston Garden not having hot water and the fact that the Celtics routinely beat teams comprised of plumbers and other tradesmen during the Russell Era.”

“The ‘Lucky doesn’t take cabs’ sitiation.”

“Whether Len Bias dying also led to the end of the painter’s cap supremacy among hats.”

“Glenn Ordway not being interviewed. At all.”

“Where in the Greater Boston Area one can find Wyc Grousebeck & Emelia Fazzalari’s luxe tequila brand Cincoro available for purchase?”

“How did Dino Radja end up as your best offensive player?”

‘Coach Jimmy Rogers’ hair care routine.”

“The Billups trade was completely ignored. Along with The Ricktator’s general incompetence.”

“Why did Bill bench Butler in the Super Bowl?”

“Larry Bird & Quinn Buckner’s ill-starred visit to Chelsea’s on May 16, 1985.”

“Stojko Vrankovic in the ‘glasnost’ era.”

“How many Celtics game Bill Simmons watched at the Garden while sitting in the SportsDad’s lap.”

“C’s mascot/good luck charm Busty Heart.”

“I can’t believe they didn’t even cover Tommy talking about Aaron Baynes’s monster cock.”

“It needed much more Deuce Tatum. He is EVERYTHING!”

“Danny Ainge being a Mormon.”

“The ‘Go back to Africa and hunt some lions’ story.”

“Corrie Bird.”

Area Sportswriter Discovered to be Alive

The15, after a short but thorough investigation have determined that Sean McAdam and the late Nick Cafardo are two different people entirely, with only half of them being dead. A graphic from the March 12, 2025 article March Mediot Madness Intermission Update & Errata incorrectly identified Mr. McAdam as being the late Mr. Cafardo. We regret the mistake, and any understandable consternation that it may have caused with either of their respective groups of families, friends, and coworkers. We will be more careful in the future and wish Mr. McAdam continued long life and employment with MassLive, which is a real thing.

We So Solly

it has come to the attention of The15 that the name of a former employee of this organization is on the list of alleged high-end brothel clients that was released in Cambridge District Court either today, or at a later probable cause hearing. However, a review of our records indicate said employee was previously fired before this occurred for an entirely unrelated sexual transgression. Therefore, we consider the matter concluded.

The 15 are a news gathering collaborative of concerned citizens designed to combat hottakes, specifically as it pertains to Boston sports.
