It’s the Juice: Part Deux
I’m sorry; I realized that I am part of this steroid machine. But after seeing Bonds’ press conference last night, I can’t help but write about steroids one last time.
Last night I turned on SportsCenter only to see a gigantic Barry Bonds front and center addressing a very anxious media. Did anyone else notice that Bonds’ head took up the entire television screen — you couldn’t even see the curtain behind him? For a second I thought he was going to bulge through the screen, warping my T.V forever.

How Good is Boston College?
With their loss to Villanova one day removed, the third ranked college basketball team in the nation probably isn’t questioning how good they really are? Last night was, if there ever is one, a quality loss; on the road, in conference, to a ranked team.
But as you digger deeper into their schedule, you start to realize, this team isn’t the third best team in the country and their 11-2 conference record doesn’t add up to being favored in their own conference tournament.

From the End Spring New Beginnings
Watching and reliving the broadcast of “World Series Winter” on NESN the past few weeks, all the emotion of last season’s playoffs came screaming back from what seemed like only a month in hibernation. But as the Red Sox players, coaches, and the following horde of media flock to the Gulf Coast of Florida, the cycle begins again.
Yes, he was one of the best to play the game but I already forgot about him.

It’s the Juice!
All right, I can’t take it anymore. I get home from work and all I want to do is put on SportsCenter and catch up on the day in sports. But no, this can’t happen any more, not since Jose Canseco had to write his ridiculous book. I don’t care if it is true or not, the man has ruined my sports watching.
All I want to do is turn on ESPN or Fox Sports and be able to see an hour of what’s going on in the sports world. I sit behind a desk all day thinking of what I can do to prevent myself from going insane. Sports is my salvation, my equalizer — but ever since Canseco’s book and “60 Minutes” interview it seems that is all that is going to be on the sports shows. So now I often find myself watching a show like E! TV’s “101 Reasons why the 90’s ruled.” This is the best example I have that I am losing my sanity because of this steroid controversy.

Breaking Down the Celtics
When evaluating the play of the Boston Celtics at the All-Star break, it’s important to recall what Danny Ainge told us to expect from this year’s club following the disastrous 2003-04 campaign: Ainge said that this season the team would be better than last, but they were still at least a couple years away from competing for the Eastern Conference crown.

People talk too much. People talk too much about the wrong things. People wrongly anoint young talented, yet unproven, stars as the greatest of all time. People smear Michael Jordan’s legacy as if it were a can of finger paint and the new age NBA is a fresh canvas. People talk about Steve Nash, Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan, LeBron James, and rightfully so. But people don’t talk, and certainly don’t talk enough, about Allen Iverson, and they should be.
