A Celtics Fan in Jazzland
A Celtics Fan in Jazzland
thoughtsfromthejockstrap.com — Today, I take a break from the Top 10 lists to speak of a subject dear to my heart: Being a Celtics Fan in Jazzland. The year was 1986, and I was 7 years old. I had no sports allegiance. I was too busy playing with my He-Man toys, chewing on my shirt collar, and picking my butt. My father ... (more) A Celtics Fan in Jazzland

Sick Baby
Sick Baby
thoughtsfromthejockstrap.com — The name of this post is by no means ironic. I can't write because my baby is actually sick and I don't have time.

Top 10 NBA Point Guards 2009-2010
thoughtsfromthejockstrap.com — I AM PISSED! I just wrote a very long, detailed post listing my top 10 point guards for this NBA season, and then, when I went to save and apply it to my blog, it logged me out and I lost the post. I'm very frustrated. Anyway, without explanation, my top 10: (of course, you'll probably enjoy ... (more) Top 10 NBA Point Guards 2009-2010

Five Things I Think
Five Things I Think
thoughtsfromthejockstrap.com — Again, I must admit that I clearly ripped this idea off from Peter King. Here are five things I think: 1. Not much would be better than seeing an NBA Finals matchup of the Celtics and the Lakers – provided that both teams are completely healthy. The last two NBA champions, the total ...

Boston Celtics Weekly Grades, Week 1
Boston Celtics Weekly Grades, Week 1
thoughtsfromthejockstrap.com — We've tried to keep this blog fairly general in our writing in the past, and I think we will continue to do so in the future. When I say we, I really mean I since it appears that I am going to be doing the heavy lifting for the site for the time being. That being said, I recently took a ...

Why, Steve Phillips? Why?
Why, Steve Phillips? Why?
thoughtsfromthejockstrap.com — Steve Phillips had a great gig. He was a baseball analyst on ESPN, chiming in with his “expert opinion” on Baseball Tonight and Sportscenter. He had a dream job. Short of being a professional athlete or musician, I can think of few things that most men would rather do for a living than sports ... (more) Why, Steve Phillips? Why?
Cedric Benson Can Rot In Hell
Cedric Benson Can Rot In Hell
thoughtsfromthejockstrap.com — Yes, I am a Bears fan. That's out of the way. Still, something needs to be said about Cedric Benson, the monumental draft bust. In three years with Chicago, Here is Benson's stat line: 420 Attempts, 1593 Yards, 10 Touchdowns. 3.8 Yards/Attempt, 35 games. Salary: $13,749,08. Or, ... (more) Cedric Benson Can Rot In Hell
Prediction for the TCU-BYU game
Prediction for the TCU-BYU game
thoughtsfromthejockstrap.com — For some reason, people keep asking me what my predictions are for games. I don't get it. I'm certainly no expert, despite my having a blog where I strongly word my opinions and put down those of others in an attempt to appear that I know what I am talking about in regards to sports. Let's ... (more) Prediction for the TCU-BYU game
Don't Follow Your Dreams, Kids.  Follow Math.
Don't Follow Your Dreams, Kids. Follow Math.
thoughtsfromthejockstrap.com — When you are a child, people are always filling your head full of idiotic crap and pie-in-the-sky philosophies of people who don't know what it's like to eat out of a dumpster like I do. (M.C. has learned that as long as it ain't "mossy", it can be eaten.) Yeah, I'm sure you heard some of ... (more) Don't Follow Your Dreams, Kids. Follow Math.

Does Anyone Actually Like Tim McCarver
Does Anyone Actually Like Tim McCarver
thoughtsfromthejockstrap.com — This is an easy quesion to answer: No. Not even the family of Tim McCarver likes Tim McCarver. Ok, I don't actually know that for a fact, but I can guess.
