one other one other than b-ball related.

I never thought another celebrity would die from auto-asphyxiation after Michael Hutchence.  Sadly, I was wrong.  farewell Grasshopper.

Jonathan Bender.  Bought a bunch of his rookie cards

I don't think that was silly, that was just bad luck.

You would think that.  However I bought the cards last week.

(rim shot please)
Yup

I went to college in New York, so while these werent my thoughts I thought I would share them

"No seriously man, with Zack Randolph and Eddy Curry down low, the Knicks will be unstoppable."

I thought the chair from Yi's work out had a chance to be drafted in the late 2nd round and one way or another would certainly become the better player in the long run. I still have time for this one.

I admit I hammered Avery Bradley last year and Ainge for picking him.  He had a horrid horrid rookie year. It was Ron Braceish rookie year.  But THIS year is totally different.   I have definitely definitely moved to wait and see status and optimism.   

Line up. Line up. Admit you were wrong.

If you have anything to say about Tebow that's ok too.

Line up

I was really hoping for "Spanish Chocolate," Sergio Rodriquez, in the 2006 draft.

You are fine upstanding CelticsBlog poster with much integrity.

I defended Floyd Landis up to the end.  He was the Tour de France cyclist who was stripped of his title for doping.

Just this past year?

I thought Ochocinco would have career highs in every receiving category this year.

I thought the Red Sox would win 120 games.

I thought the Bruins should have traded Tim Thomas before the trade deadline.

I told everyone I knew that Shane Vereen would be a huge part of our offense this year. Funny story about that one. My friends and I were watching a pre-season game at a bar (with no sound) and a rookie running back was tearing it up. So I said to everyone I was with, "This is that Vereen kid I was telling you all about! He is a beast!".

I didnt find out until the next day that it was Ridley...oh well, at least one of the rookie rb's is making an impact!

Ha, ha.  I'd love to see Sergio back in the league, but I'm quite pleased with the point guard choice we made in that draft.

I thought Gerald Green was gonna be a star once he got to the lague nd I was happy as hell when we drafted him I jumped off the couch fist pumping, he showed flashes of talent but played no defense nd had no work ethic
