Yeah, I'm still giddy over the acquisition of the Big Ticket. Terry Francona was gushing over it. Curt Schilling loves KG. For the first time in two decades, all anyone can talk about is the Boston Celtics. Hell, even Wily Mo Pena almost gets a pass today after another lackluster performance (and the ugliest diving catch of the season). I've been fantasizing all day about Marcus Camby now coming to Boston. Paul Pierce looked like the happiest guy on the planet at the news conference last night.
But please, these guys are NOT the Big Three. Bird, McHale and Parish deserve to retain that title as their own. Let Paul, Ray and Kevin earn their own moniker. Surely we are creative enough to come up with something uniquely their own and let the best front-court in NBA history stand as the ONLY Big Three. Work with me here people.
I'd also like to thank Big Papi David Ortiz for making my point last night, launching two long. Hey Papi, send one to the bleachers for us tomorrow, my daughter is waiting.
Lastly, I feel the need to clarify something. My buddy Chomper asked why we have to wait till Friday to hop on the barstool. We don't need to wait until Friday, in fact, I highly recommend it at any opportunity. However, the topics for Barstool Fridays are intended to carry you through the weekend sounding like the sports genius that I am. Feel free to use the fodder you find here any day of the week as you celebrate the Dawning of The Greatest Year In Boston Sports History...but remember, as always, I bear no responsibility for the results of you repeating what you read here.
That's all for today folks, see you Friday...
Oh, and give this great article by Sean Grande a read
