Introducing Laura from Walpole and another ZooMass grad. There is a chance this is the prettiest girl I've ever seen in my life. Potato Sack 101 right here boys and girls. She is stunning and breathtaking all at once.   She totally belongs in Hollywood.   If I was Bud I would totally try and sponsor her life. Girls from Walpole shouldn’t look like that.  And speaking of hot.  Time to go do my paper route in 97% heat with no AC in the Astrovan.   And yes I will be going straight to McFaddens after I’m done for Game 3.   People better be there to buy me some beers.

Hey wannabe hot chicks. You're not officially hot in Boston till we say so. Send all smokeshows nominations to randomthoughts@barstoolsports.com

People.com -  Alanis Morissette has nothing but nice things to say about her ex-fiancé Ryan Reynolds. Even now that he's engaged to Scarlett Johansson.  "I'm really happy for him," the singer, who called off her engagement to Reynolds in 2007, told Newsweek.

Bitch, please.   Save that shit for your songs.   You know how I know you’re not fucking happy for him?  Because you look like this…

And Scarlett looks like this:

So spare me the song and dance about how happy you are. Because when either Scarlett or Ryan Reynolds shows up dead everybody is still going to know you did it.

Bonnie-Jill Laflin is a scout for the Los Angeles Lakers, a perplexing assignment for a drop-dead gorgeous woman of 32 who played high-school ball, then spent the next decade as an NFL cheerleader, a model, an actress and a sports broadcaster. She landed in the Lakers' front office performing various TV duties for the team, as well as for ESPN, until Lakers owner Jerry Buss promoted her to scout two years ago.

How great is this? So while Phil Jackson is sucking his thumb and whining about the officiating being the reason the Lakers are down 0-2 in the series... despite Jackson's towering intellect, his tougher-than-a-Waffle-House-steakEurotrash players and his team's unrelenting defense... his boss is hiring TV sideline cupcakes as scouts. And, I should point out, Jerry Buss' commitment to winning is so deep that he's off playing poker in Vegas instead of watching his team getting drubbed in Boston.

So maybe instead of feeling sorry for himself and saying it's everyone else's fault, Zen Boy should look at his own organization and say maybe they can't compete with a team like the Celtics who hire roundball lifers as scouts. Dedicated hoop junkies who watch 3 NCAA games a night when they're not flying all over the country watching AAU games in podunk towns. Guys whose chief qualification is being able to spot talent, find winners and bring Banner 17 to Boston. Not give office handjobs to the creepy sex-crazed owner.

From the NY Daily News: Roger Clemens, whose claims he never took steroids are under federal investigation, has apparently discovered the benefits of another performance-enhancing drug sweeping the sports world - Viagra. Clemens stashed the clearly marked, diamond-shaped pills in a GNC vitamin bottle in his locker at Yankee Stadium, according to a source familiar with the clubhouse... Clemens wasn't alone. The pitcher, who is believed to have scored the drug from a teammate, joined the burgeoning number of athletes who have turned Vitamin V and its over-the-counter substitutes into one of the hottest drugs in locker rooms.

I've been following Roger Clemens since about the time he was pitching for Pawtucket, and today I've reached an important milestone. I now officially have gotten more pleasure out of his post-retirement than I did his career in Boston. I know it sounds like a stretch; he pitched for the Sox for over a decade, won three Cy Youngs and an MVP, but none of that was as much fun as watching his life after baseball implode like a demolished building. Even at his best, Clemens was prickly, stupid, self-absorbed and difficult to root for. But as a stereotype of a buffoony, fraudulent phoney who stumbles from one public humiliation to another, he's a first ballot Hall of Famer.

But there's no way I'm buying this spin that Clemens was using Viagra to help his fastball. He took them because it's hard to get an erection when the only person who really turns you on is yourself. And Clemens had a long list of people he needed to sexually satisfy. Debbie, Mindy McCready, Paulette Daly, Suzyn Waldman, Andy Pettite , Peter Gammons, George King and Joe Torre just to name a few. This Viagra story is just another reason to be glad Clemens left Boston when he did, because in this town, we prefer our pitchers to be able to get their own erections any time, not just on MLB paydays like Clemens. I guess we can stop calling him "Rocket" now.

Are the Celtics really catching 10 points tonight? BAHAHAAH! I love how little respect we get. I feel like the Celtics could beat LA 100 straight times and the line in the 101st game would be Lakers -12.5. I mean I don't get it. Yeah the Lakers are at home. Yes they are desperate for a win. But the Celtics are flat out better than they are. Would I be shocked if the Lakers pulled one out tonight? Of course not. Would I be shocked if it was easy? Fuck yeah. Listen, Kareem, Magic and Worthy aren't walking through that door. And even if they did I'm still not sure they could beat the Celtics in a best of 7 series.

Celtics +10 - MORTAL LOCK

Boston.com - He lives in one of Wellesley's most exclusive neighborhoods, owns a $1.8 million Nantucket vacation home, and has a small fleet of luxury cars at his disposal. But when Gerald Hamelburg drives downtown, he doesn't like to pay his way, according to investigators with the state inspector general's office.The Boston lawyer, they say, uses his deceased mother's handicapped placard to park his Mercedes convertible, free of charge, at meters near the High Street firm that bears his name.Hamelburg, who has two Mercedes vehicles, a Lexus, a BMW, and a Jeep registered at his address, was a target of the original probe, but kept eluding investigators, the inspector general's office said. Investigators observed him illegally using the placard about six times, but he was able to move the car before State Police arrived to ticket him, the office said.This week, however, investigators cornered him. They said they found his silver Mercedes - with the Basketball Hall of Fame license plate BB 712 - parked at Franklin and Batterymarch streets. He was called out of his office and ordered to give up the placard. He was also given a $25 ticket for the unpaid meter and a $500 citation for allegedly misusing the placard, and was ordered to a hearing where he faces a 30-day license suspension.

This guy is a real winner huh?   Honestly what should the punishment be for this guy?  Forget about suspending his license.  That’s for pussies and smut peddlers.  Instead I’d propose open season on tire slashing and car keying this asshole for a year.  That seems fair right?

Is there something wrong with me that I was so excited to watch this lady crash that I pissed myself? Simple pleasures for simple minds I guess.

Sports Illustrated broke the biggest news so far of the NBA Finals with the revelation that current Lakers Girl Whitney was a Celtics dancer Whitney last year.  Imagine the balls on this chick to go from Celtic green to Laker purple?   But I can’t say I’m surprised.     This is what happens when you start hiring chicks who aren’t local to be your cheerleaders.   If it was up to me every girl on the squad would have to be from the New England area.   Hiring ringers is bullshit.    I mean who wants to look at some chick from LA pretending to be a Celtics fan?    Local girls for the local team.  That’s how it should be done.   This way you don’t let a girl like Whitney use you as a stepping stone and then shitting right in your mouth when she gets a better offer.   It's not Whitney's fault. It's the coach's fault. But I guess it shouldn't be surprising since the coach is from LA herself and would jump ship in a heartbeat if the right opportunity presented itself.

(Bostonherald.com - Chilling out: Boston University seniors Claire Vogelstein and Jake Gould keep their cool at Revere beach yesterday.)

Is this a misprint? In all my years of driving past Revere Beach I've never seen a chick who looks like that there. Never mind having the balls to go in the water. This has to be a misprint right? It's probably South Beach on the Vineyard or something. Revere Beach my ass.

And yes I already facebooked the shit out of Clair Vogelstein.

All I've been hearing the last couple 24-48 hours is how the refs were all "pro-Celtics" on Sunday night. Really? You sure the Lakers didn't get outplayed for 42 minutes or was I watching a different game, because that's what it looked like to me.

Anyway, rate the number of steps Vladimir Radmanovic takes on this dunk.

I tried to vote 11 but it wouldn't let me.

First of all I refuse to believe this guy isn't from Old Orchard Beach Maine. Second of all I kind of like this dude. I mean you kind of got to admire him for still having the audacity to ask for the ball after he already squished the chick the first time.
