6/19/24 Cleaning Out the Sports Junk Drawer

Winning is great. Winning that makes everyone else hysterically sad is even better.
No one dotted Dugie? Sad!
Jaylen Brown Finals MVP. He did spend some of that Supermax contract money attending a Sick Handlez Camp!
Willie Mays. You Say Hey, we all say goodbye. OOTG’s.
I’m in tears knowing Bill Russell’s widow was in Dallas for Game 4, and in Boston for Game 5.
Meanwhile, if wasn’t already, Bryson DeChambeau sure seems to have become this weekend what golf is continually seeking: A needle mover.
Dave Brown peacocking from his long dormant & locked Twitter account is peak Dave Brown.
Cakes are cooking for Salman Rushdie, Ann Wilson, Duane Kuiper, Larry Dunn, Kathleen Turner, Paula Abdul, Simon Wright, Mia Sara, Poppy Montgomery, Robin Tunney, Doug Mientkiewicz, Dirk Nowitzki, Garfield the Cat, Zoe Saldana, Jason White, and Macklemore.
Not only was that an all-time US Open, but my daughters wanted to learn more about the game, and I got to talk through the back nine with my dad at the house like we used to do after my tournaments and biggest rounds. Happy Father’s Day, everyone. It was a memorable one over here.
Having proper Sunday night HBO programming back is the best. It dominates social media the next day. We are so back.
Tons of people were helped by Jerry West admitting to being a maniac. Many cases of lives saved. “The Logo” taught me that it’s ok to not be ok.
Orange Line Reminder: Service changes for bridge and track work June 22-23: Shuttle buses replace service between Oak Grove & North Station June 24-30: Shuttle buses replace service between Wellington & North Station. Commuter Rail is fare free between Oak Grove & North Station.
Hopefully the next time all these Patriots greats are together is at RKK’s funeral.
Ime Udoka passed this up for pussy.
I don’t know how long ago Dennis Drinkwater’s seat moved to the aisle but how does he get into it? Does he hop over the back? Need to know.
Will Buck be wearing his Donnie Beardlsey skinsuit on one of the duckboats Friday?
Edmonton has now won twice, a win for each boob flashed by that nice lady.
Suggestion for Friday’s Celtics parade: Reserve one Duck-Boat for Wyc Grousbeck and his band, and play a Dead set to bring Bill Walton into the event. “Ripple” for respect.
Al Horford, aka the Dominican Don Nelson.
Don’t know about you guys, but it’s really scary to think that any one of us could be locked up if we drunkenly backed over a Boston cop. If they can do it to her, they can do it to YOU.
Hey gang of morons, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, “I’m still peeling confetti off me.”
Not great for the Woman In Sports™ brand that a hard 4 who grifts online retards considers herself part of the group.
Uh oh. Cotillo’s back on the soft serve.
Out of Jayson Tatum’s 40 highest priced purchased cards, only 3 were bought this year.
Trying to imagine what Bill’s reaction would have been if Brian, Stephen, or Amanda hade ever brought home a Cheerleader/Entrepeneur/Philosopher to meet dad.
This has been the longest day I wish I had more energy for the Celtics tweets 😦 I’ll be obnoxious all month if they win don’t worry.
‘Riding the side boards’ sounds like a 1940’s euphemism for gay sex.
I just wish Fergie would do every NBA Finals anthem.
The flow of porn spam from the usual suspects on Twitter has disappeared from my feed, and I have mixed feelings now that nobody seems to be trying to scam me. It’s like “wait, am I not worth the effort to try to steal from anymore?”
Abby didn’t need any gay champagne goggles.
Huh. I wonder why Bill forgot to mention the backstabbing rat of an in-over-his-head linebackers coach.
This human Subaru just femsplained to literal DNA forensic scientists the science of forensic DNA detectability.
Bill Clinton don’t become Willie Mays.
Sometimes I just shut up and let my past work talk. I earned these two days off and I’m going to enjoy every, single, minute of it.
PFF geting Betamaxed out of existence wouldn’t be terrible.
My favorite thing about watching women’s basketball is that they actually post up and use low post moves. It’s a lost art in the men’s game.
When the Starks & Baratheons get these blonde freaks up outta here >>>>>
Have the Revs turned a corner?
In the Boston Celtics 17 NBA Championships it has taken them an average of 6.12 games to win in the NBA Finals.
‘Claudia Bellofatto’ is a made-up name.
I can look out from the roof of this building I’m on and see five other buildings that I built. Three of which I saw from steel beam to final clean. I built half this block.
Today would be a great day for the race war to kickoff. Just like the Tet Offensive.
Gonna see the river man.
Gonna tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time.
If he tells me all he knows
‘Bout the way his river flows.
And all night shows
In summertime.
Fun Fact: women were disallowed from serving on juries in Massachusetts until 1950.
Somewhere in this town, there are crab legs & I’m gonna go eat more of them than the Rangers had hits Sunday.
Probably a relief to Jerry West that he didn’t have to see another Celtics championship.
Would you rather have one 12-foot statue of Tom Brady or twelve 1-foot statues of Tom Brady?
Narrator: The Mavericks as it turns out did not figure out the Celtics’ scheme.
There are too many withdrawals, no deposit , You can’t grow like that !!!
Wonder if Bill saved Linda’s fake cans for the new girl.
I’ve never figured out how they keep the baseball IN the hat when the hat jumps in the air during that dancing-hat thing where they want you to guess which hat has the ball.
With the Finals being over, how will people now learn that there is a new Bad Boys movie in theaters?
Honk if you remember Brett Hull’s Stanley Cup winning ‘no goal.’
That wasn’t a travel on Prichard’s beyond halfcourt halftime buzzer-beating three, it was a Eurostep.
Linda Cohn is still on TV? Well good for her!
I’m still trying to see ‘likes’ on Twitter like Homer Simpson forgetting to dial the new area code.
It’s really not like Anna Horford to use her brother’s fame to curry favor.
Imagine if Danny and Brad took advice from the radio talking men and the ink-stained wretches. lol
Belichick can probably still kill spiders and open tight jar lids at his age.
Also, I want the repaired Christopher Columbus statue the city is too scared to put back up riding on one of the duckboats.
If The Sports Hub had a Kevin, I think I’d know about it.
Best bet for the weekend: Ocean State Job Lot starts selling the ‘NBA Players Association’ championship merch.
