I suppose if you'd told me early in the season that Murder Kornet and The Hausitzer would play > 10 minutes in the NBA Finals for the Celtics, I would have taken that deal just to see what the hell happened.

The Celtics seem insistent on ending their season like it started. That's frustrating as hell. That said, obviously most of the problem can be credited to the Warriors.

I feel like that was a pretty good day of Euros. 2 games, 14 goals, a penalty shootout (much as I hate 'em for making heroes and villains out of individuals).

I got so annoyed with Derek Rae's pronunciation of "Bruno Fernandes" (it doesn't jibe with my decades-old New England understanding of Portuguese) that I discovered this IPA pronunciation tool and will now waste the rest of these Euros taking the spellings from players' Wikipedia entries to judge the commentators' accuracy.

As a huge fan of the Celtics and #34, I can't say I will miss hearing his takes, though, sadly, he might improve the quality of discourse in Boston sports (though not on NBCSN which is pretty solid depending on how you feel about Scal. Oh and if you can tolerate Perk. God help us.)

Bucs Win Super Bowl 0x37

Has there ever been a Super Bowl defense that had more hurries and sacks on a QB?

I have to give props to Greg Bedard of BostonSportsJournal.com for calling this result.

Tampa won't need to worry about the run and should be able to pressure with four, I don't see an issue with doubling Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill.

Basically, if the Chiefs are going to put up their customary 30-plus points in this game and win, Mahomes is going to have to be otherworldly. Anything the Chiefs do on offense will be because of him, and possibly some breakdowns on behalf of the Bucs. He will have to have, arguably, the greatest QB performance in Super Bowl history.

I don't think it's her fault, but the thing to would have been to blow the whistle right away.

I don't think that tracks: if you're a woman who somehow made it to a job of covering the MLB at any level, the last thing you want to do is rock the boat. It's a huge power imbalance; as it is, she probably spent every level of progress having to prove she could be "One of the guys" and not get snippy about the slightest (read, "obvious") bit of sexual harassment. It also suggests its anyone else's problem that some guy would take the time during what should be a busy day to find a place, drop trou, take 5 or 6 different shots, edit them for beauty and then make the decision to text them to anyone. I wouldn't send a photo of my junk to a urologist, much less a distant acquaintance.
