So i am watching the Boston College Men's basketball game against number 8 Duke and i can not help but notice all the advertisements and sponsorships next to the benches. Gatorade provides the coolers that the players are drinking out of which is fine to me but i am confused about having pepsi everywhere. i would think that for athletes you could have somthing more aimed in the healthier direction like water. now a progress energy sign just popped up, who is all of this aimed towards? i dont think it is college kids.

St. Pattys day is soon approaching. i dont know how i plan on celebrating being Irish and everything. i usually go to the parade in south boston but i have to go to my favorite comm class at 2 so that idea got cancelled. i might end up watching some of the festivities on TV or following them on the internet. what does everyone else have planned? p.s. those green and gold celtics jerseys are sick!!!!

MVP

Dwayne Wade has shown that he deserves the MVP in my eyes. Wade has lead a team that was awful last year in his injury ridden season, and is scoring almost 30 ppg this season. Wade has had numerous monster games in recent weeks to campaign for the MVP award and try to get his Heat a good playoff seed. Again lately i have seen the media in more then one instance say that wade is 5th on their list for MVP. this appalled me and i think that the media should not consider wins as much because wade has improved the team alone from where they were last year when he was out with an injury and is clearly the most valuable to the team then any other player in the NBA.

It has been a rough week for all celtics fans, not only loosing 2 game, but also being down 5 guys. the injury bug has hit the Cs HARD. maybe these last 2 games without point guard, Rajon Rondo has shown that he should be an all star. the Celt's offense has looked stagnet in the 2 games and dispite both games being close, you could tell that the celtics offense was just give it to paul or ray and watch. the absence of KG down low has given Leon Powe a lot of playing time and he has shown that he can dominate on the boards. do you think that the media should give Rondo some more credit now that we can see how the team struggles without him?

Has anybody been watching the World Baseball Classic? this is the second WBC and the big surprise this year was the mighty mighty Dominican team getting beat by the Dutch not once but twice to get eliminated. This is great news for the Red Sox because it means they get David Ortiz back after only a few games. personally i think that the WBC should not happen during spring training but after the season. right now is a very busy time in sports with NBA, NHL and College Basketball playoffs aproaching quickly. i think that if the classic was after the season, the pitchers could pitch deeper into games, not worry about getting hurt before the season and get more media coverage. just an idea, you guys got any about this?

Eastbound & Down

im kind of disappointed about how many of my friends watch this show. its been out for almost 5 weeks now and when i ask people i know if they watchh it, i usually get a no as a response. this has made me think that HBO needs to help itself out by advertising a little bit better. the only reason i know about it is because my buddies showed me the making of on demad about a week before the show came out. so if you havent seen it and love to laugh, this outrageous show is on sunday nights on HBO at 10:30 and can be seen on demand at anytime... its not too late to catch up!!!

i was enjoying my break last night at a bar with some family members when my cousin told me about this blog that has a lot of sports news and other things that would be interesting to guys. I looked up today and really enjoyed it and think that it might be a new place i go to check out news sinse i dont really read newspapers or watch the news. just a good page to get some info for talking with the guys at school or at work. check it out Barstool Sports: The free Boston paper written by the common man, for the common man
do you guys have any sites like this you enjoy checking out?

is staged fighting history in hockey? i will admit im not really a hockey fan anymore after the strike a few years back, but when i heard they were going to take action against staged fighting i kind of got a little mad. the only interest i had in hockey was fighting and little by little they are trying to remove it. i know that there is a big difference between staged fighting and just fighting to defend yourself or another player, but i don't want to see it taken away in hockey and think it will hurt TV ratings in the long run. your thoughts?

did anybody watch that UCONN game last night? i was switching back and forth with the BC-Virginia game and watched all 6 overtimes after the BC game had ended. i couldn't imagine playing 67 out of the possible 70 minutes of the game like Jonny Flinn had in Syracuse's thrilling 127-117 victory over the Huskies. the game took well over three hours to play and didn't end until the early hours of the morning. Syracuse needs to regroup after the win and get ready to play again later tonight in the Big East Tournement.

as many of you might know, our very own Bridgewater State College men's basketball team has advanced to the sweet 16 of the division 3 national tournament. this is a great achievement for a team that no one really gave a chance to get out of the second round. my question for everyone is: do you plan on going to the game, or watch it online, or watch it at all. i think that if BSC wins this game, the school should broadcast the game on one of the res life channels.

march madness

hey everyone, march madness is quickly approaching and its almost that time to start filling out brackets (if you are into that). how do you plan on keeping up with all your picks this year? do you think TV is still the easiest or has online made things easier??
