Following the passing of Boston sports legend, Bill Russell, many of you may have noticed the disgusting attempts by certain notorious local ghouls to profiteer off of his death by leveraging the grief that we all feel into gains for their personal media brand. We have noticed this as well, and with high degree of distress.
After prayerful thought and in heeding the advisement of our counsel, we have settled our pending litigation with Vernon Dozier and re-installed him as our multi-sport beat writer effective immediately.
We now recognize that his extensive reporting about one Shukri Wrights was in fact correct, and admit that Mr. Dozier’s termination was indeed wrongful. We are pleased that rights can be wronged and fences mended in this case. Mr. Wrights’ attention seeking behavior over the past 24 hours has been deplorable, and perfectly fits the pattern that Vernon Dozier so painstakingly laid out previously. Shukri wandered around the city of Boston looking for cameras during a time that called for introspection. He made a video comparing himself to Bill Russell on a day where dropping our ego to venerate the greatness we just lost should’ve been the order of the day. We now stand by that prior reporting and blindly vouch for what he’ll continue to unearth in the future about this and other topics.
Vernon, welcome home.
— Steve Bosell, Managing Editor
A Few Words From Mr. Dozier:
I am pleased to reunite with my family at The15. Some harsh words have been exchanged in the last few months, but no bridges burned. No lasting harm done.
This kind of reconciliation is really not all that uncommon when you think about it in sports terms. For example, sometimes baseball teams trade away players in the final year of their contract, and then bring that player back via free agency following the season.
I’m willing to be at the bottom again, to earn back my readership. I’m a team player and will do whatever is needed of me to win. A switch hitter, to borrow another example from my beloved baseball. It’s great to be docking with you all againon this beautiful pirate ship. But pirates sail, and we will embark again amidst a sea of subpar sports media.We will be cruising again in no time.
It’s very gratifying to have my reporting completely vindicated. I pledge to continue to give my readers the unassailable truth.
Bill Russell…the only important statistic…is the final score…R.I.P. to a champion.
I hope for his dear wife Jeannine’s sake Bill Russell finished signing those last 250 basketballs while she selflessly & thoughtfully curated his Twitter account.
It’s like my pops used to say, “Bill Russell loved playing with white cooz on and off the court.” What?
Dale would call him William. Felton. Russell. Bill didn’t know who Dale was.
Bill, as the Celtics player-coach, was the first Black head coach in North American professional sports.
Given the choice between winning or going home, Bill Russell always chose Win.
Russ supposedly lived in Mercer Island, Washington and there’s a lot of performative mourning going on there.
The Celtics loss to the Warriors in the Finals stings even a little more now that it was Bill Russell’s last time watching his old team.
Many people, maybe the best people said the Russell draft-day trade from St. Louis for Macauley and Hagen was one of the most important trades in the history of North American sports.
Bill liked dogs and disliked the media.
If you’re using Bill Russell’s death as a vehicle to increase your social media presence/influence, well, you really shouldn’t do that.
Bill’s listed height during his playing career was 6’10”, not like that liar Larry Bird.
I wonder if the late Nichelle Nichols had a dubious story of Russ telling her to please stay on Star Trek like her oft-told MLK Jr. tale.
Climbing up on Bill’s deathbed to point at local sports fans and call them racist for also rooting for Tom Brady is a bad look, Renee, you ghoulish Globie.
Russ understood the rationale behind the NBA pretending Wilt once scored 100 points in a game.
Bob Ryan’s watch has stopped.
Bill Russell died peacefully. Jeannine gave him a blanket and a pillow. He was well-treated. He hoped to see his old teammates soon.
Kinda sad Bill didn’t live long enough to see Brittany Griner get set free.
The poor Sullivan Tire guy is heartbroken over Russ.
Everyone forgets this, but Bill Russell was also a civil rights icon.
Bill won two high school championships, an Olympic Gold medal, two national titles in college, 11 NBA Championship rings, and oddly enough, a NY Yankees pocket watch.
How was Bill Russell like Dexter Manley? Back in the day neither could get into Reading! Bwahahahaha!
Bill was arguable one of the Top Ten Best Celtics players ever.
Fun Fact: Russ hosted Saturday Night Live in 1979, the same year that Harry Shearer, Don Novello, and Paul Shaffer joined the cast.
Bill Russell could be prickly. And cackle-y. But he earned the right to be both.
Russ was friends with Kobe, but we won’t hold that error in judgement against him right now.
Bill Russell finally Lost a Game Seven. The opponent was Time. Kevin.
Best bet for the weekend: Shukri trying to climb inside the casket.
The little honkies; they loved Russ, too.

Honda will voluntarily recall approximately 737,000 model-year 2018-2020 Accord and Accord Hybrid vehicles along with 2019-2020 Insight vehicles in the United States to update software in the Body Control Module (BCM). Due to a programming flaw, a certain combination of driver actions and vehicle conditions may disrupt communication between the BCM and other components, causing illumination of several warning lights and malfunction of one or more electronic components including the rear view camera display, turn signals and windshield wipers, some potentially increasing the risk of a crash. This condition may also result in noncompliance with certain federal motor vehicle safety standards. Honda has received no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue.

Honda will voluntarily recall 27,838 model-year 2020 Accord Hybrid, 2020 CR-V Hybrid and 2020-2021 Insight vehicles in the United States to update software in the Hybrid Power Control Unit (PCU).

Since a charged 12 volt battery is required for proper vehicle function, this condition may cause a vehicle to stall while driving, potentially increasing the risk of a crash. Honda has received no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue.

Hey gang of Boston basketball enjoyers, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, “that’s hardo nonsense.”
In twenty-three U.S. states1, American Honda will voluntarily recall more than 112,060 Honda Ridgeline vehicles from the 2006-2014 model years to inspect and, as necessary, repair a portion of the rear frame for free. In salt-belt states where de-icing agents are used to maintain the roadway, the de-icing agents, along with mud and dirt, could accumulate along the rear frame where the fuel tank is mounted. Over time, the accumulated de-icing agents/mud/dirt mixture could cause the frame mounting surface, where the fuel tank mounting bands are attached, to corrode and possibly separate from the frame. If this occurs, an unsecured fuel tank can become damaged from undercarriage impact, which can possibly result in fuel leakage. No fuel leaks, fires, crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this issue.

We wish to issue a heartfelt apology with regard to our now-shelved sale price from yesterday on ‘Wicked Pissah Beantown Chowderheads Platinum Elite’ and other Site Memberships done in conjunction with the celebration of Juneteenth. As we view it here, any holiday that brings attention to Confederate perfidy is ok in our book. We certainly didn’t mean any offense with our intern’s careless phrasing. Offering ‘Three-Fifths the usual price’ could be, and no doubt was, percieved as being culturally insensitive. That was not our intent. No reasonable person could ever credibly accuse The15 of being racist, either as individuals or as an organization. As an apology, persons of color are welcome to take 19% off in our store on purchases made today ONLY.
