Breaking News: Reports Say Pats fined two draft picks and Belichick Fined $500,000
Boston.com - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is weighing a multiple-game suspension for Patriots coach Bill Belichick, according to a report by Don Banks and Peter King on SI.com. The report says that the Patriots will definitely lose a first-day draft choice (1st, 2nd, or 3rd round) and it could be as high as a first-rounder for stealing defensive signals from the New York Jets.
WCVB-TV in Boston (Ch. 5) is reporting that Belichick will be fined $500,000 and that the Patriots will lose two first-day draft choices, but did not mention a suspension. According to the report, the fine has to be paid by Belichick himself and cannot be paid by the team's owner, Robert Kraft.
UPDATE - THE PATS LOSE THEIR FIRST ROUND PICK IF THEY MAKE THE PLAYOFFS AND THEIR 2ND AND 3RD ROUND IF THEY DON'T. SO BASICALLY THEY LOSE THEIR FIRST ROUND PICK
Are you fucking kidding me? Two first day draft picks and a half a million dollar fine? What’s next? The Pats only get to play with 10 guys on the field? Roger Goodell has turned this into a witch hunt. Clearly he believes that the Patriots have become too dominant with all their recent acquisitions and he needed to do something to restore competitive balance within the league. Therefore he has capitalized on some blue law in the NFL Rule book and punished the Pats to an unprecedented level. Frankly I think it’s sad and pathetic. Listen if the league needs to handicap the Pats just have the balls to come out and say it. But this hiding behind a technicality in the rulebook is disgusting. And frankly it’s going to backfire because I’m sure Belichick is pissed now. Before he didn’t mind letting other teams win a superbowl ever now and again. Those days are over. It’s all Pats all the time from here on out. It’s going to take more than losing a couple draft picks to stop this dynasty.
As a side note who the fuck is Goodell to say that Belichick has to pay the $500,000 fine? Money is money dude. You can't dicate who pays for what. And how the hell is going to monitor this anyway? What’s he going to keep track of Belichick’s bank account? Fuck Goodell and this communist bullshit.
Owen Wilson Pays $750 Per Day For A Sober Buddy
InTouch Weekly reports thatOwen Wilson has refused rehab and is instead paying $750 a day for a sober companion. This sober companion lives with Owen and follows him everywhere he goes to make sure he doesn't fall off the wagon.
Here is my question? Can the companion drink? If so than this is the best job ever. 275,000 to get loaded and make sure Owen doesn’t try and kill himself again seems like a great deal. If you can’t drink than this may kind of suck. I’d need at least half a million a year to be his sober no fun buddy. Frankly I think Owen Wilson has it all screwed up to begin with. He doesn’t need a sober companion. He needs a “don’t commit suicide companion”. Because let’s call a spade a spade. Owen Wilson is about as fun as a bag of dirt when he’s not drinking. You can tell by just looking at him. Being sober isn’t the answer for everybody. He just needs somebody around to make sure when he gets depressed that he doesn’t try and kill himself. This solves everything.

Reader Email: Rate The Douche Bag
Reader Email
Hello,
I have a suggestion for a possible douche bag of the week, if that's something you are interested in. I play in Men's basketball league and last week my team played against a team that only had 4 players so one of the kids invited his friend. His friend happened to be an all American (Williams College) and played pro ball overseas. Now he works for the Celtics in Player Development. (see him guarding Corey Brewer http://www.nba.com/celtics/draft/workout-interview-brewer.html ) So this kid comes in (did I mention it is a coed league) and shoots every shot obviously being a pretty big factor in the game considering his past 
accomplishments. Not only does he play but he talks shit. I recognized him and said "Looks like you've come a long way since Williams" he responded by saying "My friend asked me to play and so I came and fucked you guys up, because I can". HA! Because I can! In a COED play for fun league. The kids a Douche Bag and deserves some recognition. Am I spelling Douche right? Whatever. Mike Crotty Douche Bag of the week.
Let me start by saying I obviously don’t know Mike Crotty from a hole in the wall. Having said that, this one is a no brainer if you ask me. This guy is a pretty freaking big douche bag here. You CAN’T under any circumstances go all out in a coed league. Only douche bags do that. And frankly the thing that is really surprising is that guys who are really good usually don’t feel the need to dunk on chicks and talk shit in a league like this. It’s my experience that it’s the crappy guys who got cut from their high school basketball team that you got to watch out for in situations like these. Combine this with the fact that Mike Crotty is the Director of Player Development for the Celts and it seems pretty strange right? Maybe he is compensating for having a small dick or something? But if this story is accurate and I have no reason to believe it’s not than I vote for a 9 on the Douche Bag scale. I refuse to give anybody a 10 who is better than me at sports.
Just as an FYI, the way you’re supposed to handle coed sports situations like these is just show small glimpses of your talent to impress the chicks, but that’s it. Maybe you jokingly dunk or something in-between whistles. But you don’t be a hungo and you don’t get in people’s faces. Listen, I like the line that “I came and fucked you guys up because I can”, but only if it’s an all men’s competitive league. You just don’t bring this type of shit to a non competitive coed basketball league and expect not to get lit up on the Stool. Anyway that’s my take on this situation. Now it’s the Stoolies turn to chime in. How big of a douche bag is the Director of Player Development for the Celts?
Something wrong with the logistics...he first states hes in a MENS basketball league and then he states later, perhaps to make the story worse than it is, that its a coed league...which is it, mens or coed...if its a mens league wouldn't that mean only men play...sounds fishy and sour grapy...if it was a coed league, he shouldn't been playing that hard...but if it was a Mens league then anything goes...so which was it ...Mens or coed...whether or not hes a douchebag depends on that info.
I smell a gym class hero
It's a good line, but he is playing against women, and I'm assuming at least two have to be in the game at all times. So that isn't too much to brag about.
HA HA HA, this is a great blog. Guarantee that someone who knows Mike Crotty reads this and forwards it to him. Congratulations, douchebag.
I would have dunked on a girl and have her face in my crotch as I hang on the rim. Good for you Mike Crotty! "Go hard or go home" ......!
Stay Classy
Good point about the coed vs. men's league. That makes a huge difference. Men's league this doesn't make it to the Stool. But he clearly states it's a coed league. Interesting
I'd have taken his legs out on a fast break if he said that to me... And ended the bullshit right there.
Typical of a Williams kid.
I nominate Patriotsnation for douche bag of the week.
I agree with diggerman. The other team should have had one of the girls distract him and taken his knee out or something besides write an email to the Stool. Did this come from Ratty?
elpres...he does state hes in both...we need a clarification to make further judgement. Because you're right, if it is a mens league then hey, suck it up, but if it was a coed league then the guy is truly a douche.
Sometimes you have to make an exception to your no '10' rule...this DB goes to 11.
Mike Crotty sounds like like the ultimate competitor. I'll take him on my team any day of the week.
He probably took a charge on a girl.
first he says mens, then he says co-ed. what do they allow sex change at halftime? clearly we need an answer before we can vote. this is too important a question.
i would have just kicked him in the junk and said "there, i just mashed your balls. because i can."
That's similar to when Richard Jefferson took every shot in the celebrity game prior to the all star game a couple years ago. On top of that in the post game interview he said he plays to win. . . with a straight face.
Sounds like a douche bag. He needs to get back to developing Rajon Rondo's shot fucking ASAP.
"Director of Player Development" = spare body with some skills. You take this guy's knee out, he's out of a job as I suspect there is no IR for his role...He'd probably do well to not piss the right/wrong guy off in a friggin fun league hoops game.
Whether or not its men's or co-ed is irrelevant. His quote of "...because I can..." alone makes him a douche bag. Let's not get down into the weeds people. I'm quite sure that at some point - others who witnessed this display, or know him otherwise, will chime in here as to the actual douche-ness of Mike Crotty.
Its obvious that the douchebag is the guy who wrote you El Prez. He was THE MAN and all the office chicks were all over him until Crotty schooled him. Douchebag is the whiny writer. I do like the idea of a douchebag of the week. Don Jeans has made a comeback so we can spare him, at least for now.
Kwall i just know that if someone is showing me up in front of chicks, I'm not gonna go out without evening the score so to speak. And considering how the Celts traded away all their young guys, there isn't a big need for "player development". So this asshole might be out of a job.
Coach Ralph Willard: "He’s a tough, hard-nosed kid. He’s probably one of the better shooters, no matter what level you are talking about."
Rod Baker of the Globetrotters: "I was impressed with Mike Crotty. He does not care who you are, he is going to get the ball to the rim and run the offense."
You could have just posted his picture and saved us some time. He'd get a 9.6 based on this mug alone: http://www.williams.edu/athletics/sports/m_basketball/2003/photos/03michaelcrotty04.jpg
I just emailed the kid back to get some clarification on whether it was a men's or coed league
Question:
Is that a landing strip shaved on his neck/chest?
It's official. It was a coed league. He plays in a men's league on a different night and messed up. 4 guys and 1 girl on the court
Murray...you may be correct in the fact that this guy may be a douche-bag for real irregardless of this story. But i disagree...in a MENS game, if someones better than you...tough...and they're going to show you because they can. What was he supposed to do, hold back(if this was a strict mens league...as stated, we're not sure as of yet)
I keep checking in to see if Crotty has chimed in yet...
This is a great blog.
One of my buddies played D1 hoops and is a ringer in the work leagues. He's a one man fast break. Just destroys people, but he would never breathe a word of it to anyone. Humble pie.
DOUCHE!!!BAG!!!
for all you guys who want to clown this kid, he's got a public facebook profile.
he also probably has the worst shnaggletooth i've ever seen. looks like he's gobbled quite a bit of cock in his day.
go middlebury!

Don Jeans,
You and Crotty have the same personal tidbits !!
"If you're not first you're last"! Good for this Crotty kid.
Stay Classy
awesome
Crotty looks like binlondon.
Ron-
The whole stay classy bit is getting a bit tired.
stay original,
don
anyone who brags during any non- professional adult sporting event is an idiot. the only time it's called for is if you one up a good buddy and rib him just for fun. but it is completely unnecessary to brag to random guys just because you happened to have played at a low- rate college.
what the complainer should do is find an even better ringer to bring next time to tool on Crotty and knock him down a notch.
The best part of that Sportscenter commercial is that Jayson Williams and Sam Cassell are in it...
What are you doing shooting??? PASS the ball...PASS the ball!!
Never mind Crotty, how about Ratty getting denied his 1st Amendment Rights.
It's a sad day for the King of blog island.
This kid is a legacy. His father is a douch bag too. His dad tries to stiff arm people with his AAU teams to play certain tourneys. The kid did not fall far from the tree according to this. I do like his line though. Next time I take down somebody in cribbage I am using that line!
i wonder if he does the "AHHH!" thing after he gets fouled making a layup. also this is the highest score the ratings system has seen since gator girl.
Shut up and play the game, plumberboy.
It's one thing to try and find some hot random chick (like the southwest airlines girls) on facebook or myspace. It's another thing to try and stalk a grown man online. Way to ruin it Don Jeans....creep
Williams is one of if not THE most highly selective liberal arts colleges in the country. FWIW, #1 according to US News
http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/t1libartco_brief.php
This alone tends to breed a certain attitude in its alumni in my experience. On the other side of the coin, few people outside of New England have ever heard of Williams College, and so name dropping it doesn't impress the way it would to say, "I went to Dartmouth," for example. As a result, you get the chip on the shoulder of lots of the Ephs.
And finally, as if you needed more, Steinbrenner went to Williams. So is it really that surprising that this guy is a knob?
After that commercial was filmed, Jason Williams blasted the little fat fuck in the face with his shotty.
And Williams College is a pompous cunt-fest.
Giggles that shit kills me - move your lazy fucking ass so I can get by
sully, i really hope that was a joke and you were just trying to be typical really funny Sully.
it happens probably 50 times a day on this site. now go get your shamrock tat touched up.
Don Jeans taking on Ron Burgandy is a bigger mismatch than Mike Crotty against chicks at a coed hoop game. Don Jeans has made the comeback. Congratulation, you are the Douchebag of the week and the early favorite for douchebag of the year.
stay cunty
I'm very excited Don Jeans is going after Burgandy. VERY excited.
Hey internet cowboy, I mean Don Jeans- Did you just do a shamrock joke? And you asked Ron Burgandy to be original? Go back to checking out Mike Crotty's e-harmony page.
While the "ahhh" after the foul would be brilliant, I think I'd prefer the Moses Scurry (circa '89 Running Rebels) screaming rebound.
irregardless
Williams breeds arrogance like Travis Henry breeds bastards.
OH yeah!
A friend of Mike Crotty just emailed me to say that he is a very nice kid in real life.
{end transmission}
sully we all know you're just bitter because i called you out for posting bullshit stories about wade boggs. so why don't you man up and admit it instead of acting like a total faggot?
how about a little GTA to end the day today..??
I actually know this kid and nearly crapped my pants when I saw this, only because you just never expect to see anyone you know tabbed as "Douche Bag of the Week."
That being said, it's not at all surprising.
Chalk one up for Fantastic 4nicator
I gotta say, Fun Johnny knows of what he speaks.
Although this story does point to major Duesch Baggery, Crotty is a good guy in real life.
cuple of douche bags. no real player would want to play in a coed league. that is unless you get bj every time you hit a 3.
DonJeans, you are trying to search grown men online? Who is the faggot now? You of all people should not be pegging anyone with fabricating any story. Seriously, how many times have you proclaimed to be an expert at something when we all know the only two things you're an expert at is hitting the refresh button and punching your munchkin.
Moses Scurry. Holy fucking shit.
Brilliant
i bet the real reason Boggsie wouldn't sign your ball was because he could already tell that you were going to grow up to be a total loser, and wade boggs never signed balls for losers.
Williams College is a fun school to party at. Got arrested there in '93 for open container walking from one keg party to the next. I got handcuffed to my buddy Sucky Chad. Good memories. BA, thank you for believing in me.
We should have a poll .....Who has more homo-erotic posts?
Jacques Strappe

This is vintage Internet Frontier Justice.
A comment he never thought would get back to him will now haunt him forever on the web. Google "Mike Crotty" from now until the end of time, and there it'll be: Douche Bag of the Week. He might be a good guy in real life, but the internet is a harsh mistress.
humm where to begin.. granted the kid has some hoop talent.. but he went to Williams?? cant seem to remeber what Final 4 they went to? Bottom line, the kid wa splaying vs. guys (and gals) who are Financial Analysts, Bankers and socail workers for a living... stick this tool in front of a monitor and tell him to make some $ or his portfolio mgr and see him squirm like a fish out of water. It's like if Beckett showed up at a over 30 baseball league and was asked to pitch an inning of releif.. I would hope he would be classy enough to not mix in any breaking stuff...
DOUCHE BAG
he's a fucking douche, guys that can play dont act like that against non-competition unless the donkeys talk shit first.
Frontier Justice at it's best. Now if you were Mike Crotty would you write back and defend yourself or just let it go. I think I'd write back. We'd post it and be fair and impartial
Wow Crotty needs to take it down a couple notches or just jump down an elevator shaft.
I don't know about Fantastic 4nicator either. I have observed him excessively ragging on Williams (one good jab is fine - 2 shows lingering hostility). This leads me to believe that he is still upset about getting a rejection letter from EphTown. Resenting a college from which you got rejected years before might get you put on the chopping block for Douche Bag of the Week yourself. Hell I got rejected from Williams and Amherst and I ended up in Maine (how lucky am I?). If I found myself today resenting those two schools I would immediately go shame myself for being a complete stiff. Clean it up.
I do know Mike Crotty, and yes he is a good guy....And as for this story its definately BS....There is no way that he would say a line like...
"My friend asked me to play and so I came and fucked you guys up, because I can".
The story is definately fabricated
Don Jeans,
Consider this your knockout punch !http://www.barstoolsports.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=22806&start=0
Pwned.
Stay Classy
My guess is Crotty IS a douchebag, along with the kid who invited him and the guy who wrote El Pres. "Reader" as he is called just got out-douched on the hoops floor, but definitely raised the ante by calling out Crotty on BSS. This is just a complete douche-off. They deserve each other.
Please tell me that he yelled "JUMANJII" when he swatted the chick's jumper...it would complete the picture!
man walks on moon Ron, that shit is like 3 days old.
Anytime you boys want to play bring it
worked with the kid at the celtics...he's a good kid...got a great gig and works hard at it whether he was given the job or not...he comes off like a dick sometimes but he means well.
Williams College has been to as many Final Fours as BC...just sayin'.
Just heard that Rage Against The Machine will re-unite to embark on a Free Speech for Ratty Tour. Kickoff show at Ithaca Common. More details to follow.
That BC joke always kills me, Kwall.
BSS should have those huge boxing gloves at an upcoming party and sully & DJ can slap each other silly as they argue about who, in fact, is the gay one.
You pwned me! (Is that the proper usage, Don Jeans?)
Bravo!
This douche bag brought up my speed in high school while we were on vacation a while back. We are on the beach and everybody is hammered. The girls meeting us are having a great time though and are impressed to hear that I ran a 4.4 6 yrs ago. So this young buck (21 and 1/2) starts calling me out. I keep trying to keep things normal until I can't take the chanting and the party proves that it will cease to improve 'til we race. I knew I had to take him on the jump so I did. Then I let him creep past me w/in arm distance and b/4 the finish line I wrap up his knees and say, "told ya' bitch." He fucked his leg up so bad on the fall that he didnt come out for the next 2 days. I think that is precisely what should have happened to this DOUCHE CLOWN. I would have taken out his buddy with a nasty undercut or something and said, "maybe you need to sit out the rest of the season you QUEERBAIT!!

Huh?
Note to self: Dont bother reading jman's long-winded, uninteresting posts
Please...
I would have asked Mike Crotty if he brought his Blue Cross and Blue Shield card to the gym, b/c he's going to need it after I break his ankles!!
jman=crotty=douche
Calling another guy a "young buck" = mighty gay
I too know Crotty I went to high school with him he is a good kid. Also what is the big deal of talking a little shit, if you are good at something flaunt it. I talk all kinds of shit about Madden/Softball/Fantasy Football all the important stuff.
Who's the bigger douche bag: him for being a cocky douche or you for not sucker punching him on the way home?
...And never use Queerbait as an insult.
The jealousy shown on this forum is truly pathetic. Who knows what this tool who he was playing against was saying to Crotty. Maybe this kid thought he was good and Crotty just put him in his place. If he did say something like that, which he probably didn't, he said it to the guy talking to him. It's a 5 on 5 sport but if the guy guarding you is talking, you can talk back. It's not like he said it to a girl. Also, it's so clear that many people who posted comments either got owned by Crotty at some level in basketball or got rejected from Williams. It's sad.
really though, "stay classy" is kind of beat. that being said DJ does nothing but make himself sound worse with every defense he makes. Said my piece, carry on
The only thing I know about this Crotty character is that his job is way cooler than mine.
Sad all the way around, though talking shit in men's league is pretty lame. Sometimes you gotta remind yourself that after the game no one is bringing in the Stanley Cup.
...and somewhere in the distance, "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen was softly playing.
Oh where oh where has little Don Jeans gone, oh where oh where has he gone.............
Stay Classy,
Ron
Ron, i was back in your hood, a.k.a., the message board, pwning you.
stay original.
Hey Frankthetank,
I don't think this story is made up at all, but if Crotty wants to defend himself and give his version I'm all for it. This is america.
Don Jeans,
You get less pussy than VtExpos!
Stay Classy
$50 says the whiney bitch that sent in this letter brags to his friends that he played Crotty in bball when the C's start winning. wah wah my co-ed team lost! no fair!
Its pretty obvious to me that this Shamrock Kid is taking offense to this article, Do you have a special relationship with this Crotty Character?
and JML8679 why would you brag about playing against Mike Crotty when the celts start winning? He doesnt play for them.
First of all, the real douche bag is the whiney uterus who sent this story in. What kind of loser regularly plays in a co-ed basketball league? There are two simple explanations. The first is that you arent good enough to play in a "real" competitve league so you have to work girls and queers who dont "want to try so hard and just have fun". The second is because you cant meet any girls so you thought the local co-ed league may be a good place for you to score some whales.
I'm sure if the kid did say what he did, it was pure sarcasm, and he clearly doesnt need to justify his basketball skills by working sallies like "john doe".
here's a quick story to validate this douche bag rating. i played in a league "all star" game in high school and crotty was on the opposing team. one of my teamates stole a pass at half court and was on his way to an uncontested dunk. the gym was packed and the crowd would have gone nuts. all of a sudden out of nowhere comes this little shit, like it was the state finals and fouls my buddy. he turns around and looks at crotty like, "are you fucking kidding me, you just intentionally fouled me in an exhibition game". needless to say the crowd was not impressed either. if that doesn't sum up what a douche bag is, i don't know what does?
What is more of a douche bag? Crotty's move during the game or him probably calling all of his friends an having them come on here to defend him, saying he "really is a good guy." This guy is a douche and will always be a douche. Get a life and do some player developing, what ever that means. DOUCHE!
and JML8679 why would you brag about playing against Mike Crotty when the celts start winning? He doesnt play for them.
4leaf- I wouldn't brag about it- but the tool that took the time to write in this letter because his dumb coed team got beat would.
Ha Ha...I read this website everyday and this was one of the funnier posts I've seen, it just must suck to be known as the "Douchebag of the week"..
I bet this crotty kid could give two shits about this whole forum. one, he is 25 and he is director of player development for the celtics. pretty tit job. i am 25 and sit in a cube all day making telephone calls tryign to sell ad space. so what if someone gave him the job, does that matter. woudl you have taken it? I think el presidente said in his past article on Crotty well he doesnt have experience...the celtics shoudl have an ex nba player...why? does being an x player make you a great coach? rick majerus has had a pretty good coaching career in Division 1 and i doubt he ever was a good player.
BELICHICK PLAYED HIS COLLEGE FOOTBALL AT WESLEYAN. SO BY YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS ON PLAYERS FROM DIVISION III SCHOOLS BECOMING COACHES BELICHICK SHOULD HAVE NEVER COACHED.
YES I DO KNOW CROTTY PERSONALLY AND YEAH HE CAN BE A DOUCHE AT TIMES. But this whole thing is a joke right? I mean come on is there jealousy towards this kid or what? And no i didnt go to williams...i was too dumb...partied there once...UGLY GIRLS!
agreed. i not going to come on a message board, of all things, and bash someone i knew on strictly a professional basis, but mike crotty was alway a nice kid to me. do i think he may have done this? perhaps. was it lame if he did? absolutely. but he has plenty to hang his hat on. i saw him play at williams and he was pretty good. then again, like emmitt smith once said, "Act like you've been there before." On a side note, while the ratio is quite small, there are a few very attractive girls at williams. you just need to lure them out of the library.
This is funny. sounds to me like the kid that actually took the time to cry to an internet post about getting his ass kicked in a friggin coed league game is the real douche. Nice job, you're the type of kid that played 4 years of JV in high school and whined when the younger kids on Varsity came down for a game or two and took your playing time. This is of course if you played sports at all, the computer club may have taken up too much of your time.
By the way, you might want to get your story straight... "by the way did I mention it is a coed league"... no actually 2 sentences ago you said "Men's league". Good luck in life kid, sounds like you suck at that as bad as you do basketball.
I have a buddy that went to Williams and played soccer there. He was the same year as Crotty and use to get BJ's from his girlfriend while he was in the same dorm. Their senior year his girlfirend tried to get back at him by saying he copied her paper. He just called me from overseas when he saw the article to tell me the story again and wanted me to post it.
Wow, I can't even tell you how many people I know who told me about this post. It's amazing how many people just think this kid is an absolute douche. I happen to agree. .
Played basketball with and against the kid for years in high school and AAU ball. On the AAU team which was coached by his father (huge douche as well) everyone literally hated him. He was a good player (not as good as you might think considering how successful he was later on), but he was cocky little prick who cried easily. Total outcast and just not really a nice guy. Knowing what I know of him I find this story to be very believable. Not a fun person to be around

September 12, 2007 -- New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury was grilled about seedy sex with a team intern in a truck as he took the witness stand at his boss Isiah Thomas' sexual harassment trial - a case he admitted he's laughed off from the start. Hunched in the hot-seat in a stylish tan checked jacket, Marbury 'fessed up to crassly luring the college student into his vehicle outside a Manhattan strip club, calling out, "Are you going to get in the truck?" "It really wasn't a conversation," said the cocky team captain, admitting he knew the woman was an intern but denying he was aware she was drunk. Allegations of rampant verbal abuse is central Sanders' case against Thomas, who she claims started every sentence to her with the word "bitch." But Marbury jumped to his coach's defense, claiming he never heard his coach curse at Sanders, saying it was "not his persona." Jurors got a darker picture of Marbury at the start of testimony yesterday, when Sanders described his sexual exploits in his truck during her most emotional moment during two days on the witness stand. Weeping and sniffling, Sanders recalled how the distraught intern had told her, "I wouldn't have gotten in (the truck), but I felt like I had to." "When she got into the car, she basically did whatever he wanted her to do. They basically had sexual relations," said Sanders, dabbing her eyes as she revealed that the intern was dating Marbury's cousin, who also worked for the Knicks. "She considered it consensual because she got in the car," Sanders said.
Listen I’m not the biggest Stephon Marbury fan ever to come down the pike. But you’re not going to catch me grilling a guy for using his power and prestige to nail an intern. Because that is what you do to interns. You take them to strip clubs. You get them drunk. And then you screw them. It’s “Intern 101”. There isn’t a dude in corporate America who hasn’t taken a run at an intern before and who wouldn’t be bragging about this the next day if they pulled it off. And also I’m not going to get on Isiah for starting every sentence with the word “bitch” either. That’s exactly how I talk to my employees at the Stool and nobody seems to mind.
“Bitch, write me a blog”
"Bitch, stops complaining about not getting paid"
"Bitch, help me push my Astrovan to a local gas station."
How the Hell is TapeGate Even a News Story?
When we first started mentioning the Patriots videotape "scandal" on Monday, I thought we'd pretty much covered it. El Pres wrote a nice blog about how funny the situation is, UB chimed in, and I figured the subject was pretty well covered. They had said all that needed to be said. That by Tuesday it would die out and by Wednesday it would be a curiosity you'd have to go on ProFootballTalk to hear about it ever again.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think this story would be getting about the same attention as "Belichick Threatens to Use Suitcase Nuke." It's Thursday and this is still the top story on NFL Network. "Mike and Mike" were talking about it at 7AM and still on the topic at 8:30. NESN's Sportsdesk does ten minute reports about a Red Sox off day, but this morning Papi's walkoff HR was pushed back 15 minutes by TapeGate. It's even making it onto the cable news channels. For the life of me, I never saw this coming.
How the hell is this possible? Am I missing something? If I'm an owner of a franchise that's worth over a billion dollars, and the guy I put in charge isn't trying to get around the rules to help the team win, I goddamned sure want to know why. I mean, some are suggesting the three Super Bowls are tainted. So by that logic I guess the allies should reinstate the Third Reich because we used spies in WWII.
I'm not the go-to guy for objectivity about Bill Belichick. My affinity for the guy has gone way beyond manlove to all out stalkerish obsession. I admit that. But the treatment this story is getting is purely the result of animosity toward the guy. Adam Schefter admitted on "D&C" this morning that when you don't play nice with the press, they'll take every opportunity to drag your successful ass down.
It's "Bonfire of the Vanities." In that masterwork, a rich Yankee bond trader from the Upper East Side is in a car with his mistress, gets lost in the Bronx, and hits a kid. In time, he's got an Al Sharpton-type minister, a tabloid reporter, a DA and a dozen others all furthering their careers by destroying him. Same with the Hooded One. The rest of the NFL, the media, fans of other teams, no one can stop this man. Not on the field, not on draft day, not in trades or free agency, so they're trying desperately to exploit a perceived weakness in this case.
Well F the lot of them. You want to fine him? Fine his ass. Take draft picks away? Go ahead. Take 'em all. Give them to Competition Committee member Matt Millen and let him take another wideout/washout. Belichick will get better players from the undrafted remains. You want to suspend him? Knock yourself out. He'll win the game from his condo in Hingham through Astral Projection. And to the nitwits I've heard say Kraft should fire Belichick...seriously, go kill yourself. But first break out some NFL films of the Pete Carroll era.
Wade Boggs Almost Gets Screwed Out of Fishing Title
Keynoter.com - With hundreds of Redbone-sanctioned tournaments to Capt. Gary Ellis' credit, even he makes mistakes at times. Just don't make one that robs baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs of a tournament victory.When the final day of fishing came to a close Sunday in Key West, the Mercury Redbone S.L.A.M. saw two men tied atop the celebrity division with 200 points. Boggs, master of ceremonies for the event, had caught a bonefish and permit on spin over the two days and Mark Cooper, an ex-Denver Bronco, caught a bonefish on fly, matching Boggs' point total of 200. Ellis made the call to award the celebrity-champion trophy based on time, or who caught his fish first. The title went to Cooper.Boggs did not take the news gently. At the awards ceremony at the Westin Key West, when hearing the news, Boggs was quoted as saying, “I caught two fish and you caught one and you win?” He then grabbed the trophy and ran out of the room.
For anybody who is remotely familiar with Wade Boggs this story shouldn’t even raise an eyebrow. Hell he could build himself a rocket ship and fly himself to the moon and I’d just say it’s Wade being Wade. Because As Jerry Thornton pointed out in his Red Sox All Insane team there is nobody quite like the Chicken Man. This is the same guy who once said he avoided getting knifed in a knife fight by “willing himself invisible” and who claims to have once drank 64 
beers on a cross country flight. The list goes on and on. But if there is one thing we know for sure about Boggs it’s that he takes his fishing seriously. You don’t screw him out of a fishing title and expect to get away with it. Maybe if it was a team trophy, but not an individual award. In fact, a part of me thinks that Boggs would trade his World Series ring for this fishing title straight up in a heart beat. I mean did you see him riding that horse after the Yankees won the World Series? That didn’t look like somebody who gave a crap about team awards. That looked like somebody who was thinking about how to win another batting title.
Ric Flair "Whoooo!" Finance?
Apparently Ric Flair (see left, age 75) has finally quit the WWE and is now turning his attention to life after wrestling. Hollywood? No. Crazy right-wing speaking engagements? No. Double murder? Let's hope not. Instead the Nature Boy has started up his own finance company called Ric Flair Finance where he of course provides a "Figure-4 Process" to solve all of your financial needs. Click here to see the website and make sure your speakers are on to hear the ad. I can just imagine the conversations over dinner in the deep South... "Honey, we really need help in paying off this mortgage." "Why who else dear, but Ric Flair to provide us the loan of our dreams. Whooo!"
And while we're at it, here's a classic clip from the mid-80's where the Nature Boy calls out Dale Murphy and Herschel Walker (voice crack), among others...
Thanks to BLUC on the message board for the tip.
Sports Reporter Beaten Up on Camera
I like this clip of an Aussie reporter being harassed by rugby hooligans, but it's Nouvelle Cuisine; a good meal with small portions that ultimately leaves you unsatisfied. I mean, we can film inside the Titanic 2 1/2 miles under water. We can film on the surface of other planets. We can film the incredibly complex, indecipherable signals emanating from the Jets sidelines. Why do we only have the Quentin Tarantino-looking guy tonguing the reporters ear, one grab that would barely draw a foul in the final two minutes of an NBA playoff game, then the guy getting shoved around a little? Where was the camera man? Coming to the guys defense? Obviously not. So roll tape fercrissakes. You're supposed to be a professional news photographer and your reporter getting a little bit of the old ultra violence is news. (Thanks to Uncle Buck for this.)
At least the reporter knows to take it like a champ. Unlike this chick, getting harassed at outside a concert. My favorite part isn't actually the kid dry humping her or the guy trying to slip a bill into her bra, it's the anchorman who obviously thinks it's hilarious. You have expect him to say "Lisa and I are currently dating. And she is quite a handful in the bedroom." (Yes, I know we've run this clip before.)
On a related note, here's a short list of Boston sports reporters of the last few years I'd like to see get accosted by a gang of young toughs:
- Ron Borges
- Shank Shaughnessy
- Craig Dickerson
- Jon Meterperel
- Andy Gresh
- Bob Lobel
- Butch Sterns
- Craig Mustard
- Dennis
- Callahan
The Big East Is Officially Back! (If it ever went anywhere in the first place)
I think the biggest news of this past college football weekend was South Florida going into Auburn and beating the Tigers. I spent all of last year arguing that the Big East was back and now with this victory, the debate is over. The Big East is officially among the big boys again. (As a side note, who would have thought that South Florida would be the 2nd best team in Florida behind the Gators?) I’m not sure exactly where I’d rank the Big East in terms of conferences, but they are clearly better than the ACC and Big 10 right now. It’s pretty ironic that the reason BC left the Big East in the first place was because they were afraid that football would be a joke and now just a couple years later the Big East is a better conference than the ACC. Granted at the time nobody could have predicted this. I mean who could have foreseen both Miami and FSU becoming shitty at the same exact time? Who could have predicted the rise of Rutgers and South Florida? But facts are facts. The Big East is now a better conference top to bottom than the ACC. Is it too late for the Superfans to jump back to the Big East? Because that is where they belong with natural rivals like UConn, Syracuse etc. Not only that but BC would have consistently been the class of the conference. Sure they are the best team in the ACC right now, but that won’t last. Eventually Miami and FSU will figure things out and then it will be back to the Cheerio Bowl for life. The Big East would be a perfect fit for the BC and vice versa. Again I don’t think you could have predicted what would transpire in each conference once everybody jumped to the ACC, but BC has to wish they never jumped shipped. Regardless congrats to the Big East. I’ve always been a Big East guy and it’s about time they start getting the respect they deserve.
I'm afraid of all the ex-college players coming out of the woodwork on this one talking about how they would have lit up Williams (myself included).
but Mike Crotty is an extremely large douche.
