Peverley Out 4-6 Weeks

Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli announced Friday that forward Rich Peverley will miss 4-6 weeks with a third-degree MCL sprain in his right knee. Peverley injured his knee in a collision with Canadiens defenseman Hal Gill Wednesday night and returned to Boston for testing Thursday.

God Hal Gill still finds ways to piss me off. I hated him when he was with the Bruins, he is in trade rumors with the Bruins, and now he took out my favorite player onthe Bruins. Die Hal Gill Die.

The Bruins are going to be hurting without Horton and Peverley. This could push them to make some kind of deal for a winger.

Tim Wakefield Retires

Tim Wakefield finally has retired. After 19 season he leaves with a record of 186-168 (6 wins shy of the franchise record). He played all kinds of roles for the Red Sox, from starter to reliever, even a closer at one point. Wakefield for everything the Red Sox needed him to me. IS he a great player? No, but he like the cement that holds the bricks together. You need a guy like Wake that can come in and do whatever the team needs. The ultimate role player.

Yet, it was time for Wake to hang them up. There was no role for him anymore, and his knuckleball didn't seem to fool hitters like it used to. Plus, it was time for the Red Sox to move on. Hopefully, Tek will follow in his footsteps.

Celtics @ Bulls Preview

The Celtics were able to beat the Rose-less Bulls in Boston last weekend, it seems like the Bulls will be playing without their star again tonight. I am having a really hard time writing this preview, because I don't know if KG is going to play tonight. If he plays I think the Celtics have a good chance to win, because when he is out there he makes this Celtics defense one of the best in the NBA, but when he isn't this is just a different team.

I am expecting Pierce and Allen to show up tonight after that disgusting performance last night. Rondo should once again put up God-like stats with no Rose on the court. Still, I think this could be a very tough game for the Celtics. They are playing back-to-back games, on the road, and the last time they beat this team the Bulls they shot 38.6 percent, committed 13 turnovers and still only lost by 4.

Once again, if KG plays I give the Celtics a chance, but if he doesn't I think this could get ugly. I know DP gets pissed when I pick the Celtics to lose, but sorry I don't see them winning this game. Hopefully I am wrong.

Bulls win 89-85
Game starts at 8pm

Crawford Likely Not Ready For Start Of Regular Season

"I wouldn't be surprised if Carl's a few weeks into the season before he's really ready to go,'' Valentine said. "I wouldn't be surprised, nor disappointed if that's what nature dictates as the healing process."

"When he's ready and he's healed, he is going to be a welcome addition to our team, whenever that is," Valentine later added. "The more I've looked at Carl on film and tried to evaluate the whole thing, he's really special and we really need him. If it's later, then that's when it will be (WEEI)."

I am really hoping Crawford has a comeback year. Am I skeptical? Yea, of course, but he has to be better then he was last year. From what I have heard Crawford is able to do "baseball activities" whatever that is, but still can't swing a bat year. The best estimate I have heard is that Crawford will be ready to go by the end of April. In the grand scheme of things that's really not a big deal, but if that wrist is a problem at all after that it could be a long year for Crawford.

In other Red Sox news, ESPN put out an article that Valentine's spring training schedule has caused "frowns" in the Red Sox clubhouse, because there is a lot more going on and a lot more games. Whatever, these stories are silly, and is just out there for everyone to jump on his bandwagon, which I am fine with because I like Valentine. I hope it's true and he is kicking a little ass, because they deserve it.

Kim Kardashian Trying To Date Jeremy Lin

Kim Kardashian and Jeremy Lin aren’t dating. But Kim Kardashian, Jeremy Lin dating reports are being sought by Kardashian’s publicity machine, claims a new report. Kardashian’s public relations team allegedly wants Kim Kardashian to be seen dating Jeremy Lin.

A new report today claims that the Kardashian-Jenner public relations team wants Kim Kardashian and Jeremy Lin dating now. Kardashian has usually tried to stay away from “Lindsanity”; but now she allegedly wants to a part of “Linsanity”. The report claims that the pr team has already envisioned a double date with Karsdashian-Lin and Carmelo Anthony with his wife. “Kim’s publicist arranged for her to go on a “date” with NY Knicks player Jeremy Lin” claims the report today.

Please Jermey Lin don't do this. That family is the devil. It's all publicity, and I really just hope this skank gets hit by a train or something. The whole family is just a bunch of skanks selling themselves for a buck (well much more than that, but you get the point).

If prostitution is illegal, then the Kardashians should be illegal.

Will Bruins Make A Trade?

The NHL trade deadline is Monday, February 27, 2012, and the Bruins have been talking like they are going to make some kind of move. Last year they brought in Kaberle (bust), Peverley, and Kelly. Those Peverley and Kelly were steals and played huge parts in their Cup run. This year the Bruins could be looking to do the same.

There are two rumors going around today. The first one is started because Rick Nash reportedly listed the teams he'd be willing to do to (he has a no trade clause). The list includes the Boston Bruins, Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers, San Jose Sharks and Toronto Maple Leafs. The cost will be high for a guy like this. Blue Jackets are rumored to want "at least one young roster player along with a combination of top prospects and quality draft picks". Nash is only 27 years old, so maybe it would be worth it, but I don't see the Bruins doing it. He is really good, but I don't think the Bruins need to go out and change there team/future this dramatically.

Another name that has come up is 41-year-old Ducks forward Teemu Selanne. When I read this I have to admit I was pumped. I love the older guys I knew as a kid. The thing with Selanne is he is still damn good. He has totaled 18 goals and 33 assists for 51 points this season, which is 4 more points then the Bruins leader (Bergeron). I also think the cost could be lower. He is the face of the Ducks franchise, but he is nearing the end and might be interested in making one more run (like Rechhi). He also has a no-trade clause, so they would have to sell him on the idea. There is no word on what the Ducks might want, but my hope is that they continue to slide in the standing (currently 8 points out of playoff spot) and then will be "forced" to make some kind of move for the future.

If you go by the stats the Bruins actually could be more interested in bringing in another defenseman, because they are actually 1st in the East in goals per game, yet 14th in goals against. Yet, I really like the Bruins defense and if they could make a move to bring in a guy like Selanne to replace a guy like Benoit Pouliot, who I have had just about enough of even though he had a goal last night, I think it could be a huge upgrade. As always it's all about cost, but if they could give up a prospect (Caron, and maybe some kind of pick) I would be very interested.

OK, Enough With The Whitney Houston Stuff

I have stayed away from the subject, but when I heard that NJ is going to be putting their flags at half mast I just couldn't do it anymore. With all do respect to Whitney Houston, that should be reserved to tragedies (9/11, death of a President) and service men/women. Whitney Houston was a drug addict that did what drug addicts usually do.. eventually do to much and something (death) bad happens. So, I am kind of over this whole thing.

So, since I am over it here are some of the best jokes I have heard so far...

"Looks like Whitney Houston is cool again now that she's just made the transition from mainstream to the underground."

"Whitney Houston ended her life the same way she ended her songs.
On a high note."

"I've decided to call my cock 'Whitney'. Because it likes to go stiff in the bath."

"Kevin Costner once again let us down."

My person favorite...

"Q: What's black, lies on the floor, "Will Always Love You" and has white stuff around it's nose?

A: A border collie. If you said Whitney Houston you're a terrible person.

Bruins @ Canadiens Preivew

The Bruins are just 6-7-1 in their last 14 games, and have been shut out in 3 of their last 6 games. Now the Bruins have to start their season high 6 game road trip against their rival Montreal.

The good thing about the Bruins is that they usually win the game after they lose. It is going to be tough playing on back-to-back tonight, and I would assume Rask will be starting tonight.

The Bruins goaltending hasn't been as good lately, but I am more concerned about the offense. Price is a hell of a goalie, and I think this will be a low scoring game.

The good news is the Bruins have this teams' number. They have won 3 in a row, and I think they pull one out late tonight.

Bruins win 3-2
Player of the Game: Seguin (really needs to show back up)
Game starts at 7:30pm

Pistons @ Celtics Preview

As I noted earlier KG and Pietrus are doubtful for the game tonight, Bass is still out and Jermaine is questionable. That is going to leave the Celtics pretty thin up front. Still, with Allen, Pierce and Rondo on the court I don't see the Celtics losing the lowly Pistons.

Pistons are just 8-22 on the season, the Celtics have won six of seven overall against Detroit and four in a row at home. Rondo should have a huge game. Stuckey/Knight are a decent PGs, but not on the level of Rondo. The question is whether or not Rondo feels like turning on the jets. I say he doesn't and the Celtics lean on Pierce to win tonight. Prince had the length to give him trouble, so I expect this game to actually be pretty close.

The main storyline for me is to see the young guys (especially Johnson) get some playing time. I really feel they are going to be important if the Celtics are going to make any kind of playoff run.

Celtics win 88-84
Tommy Award: Pierce

Chris Carter Calls Out Randy Moss

"The one thing you have to address with Randy Moss is not a conditioning thing. It's not an age thing," Carter said during a Tuesday appearance on ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike in the Morning." "It needs to be addressed. I believe it's the elephant in the room. It's that thing called quit.

"And Randy, not like any other superstar I've met, he has more quit in him than any of those other players. So I need to address that. That's what [Bill] Belichick did when he brought him over from Oakland. He told him he wasn't going to have it. But Randy, when things don’t go well, like no other player I’ve ever been around or associated with, he has a quit mechanism in him that’s huge. That needs to be addressed before he signs with any team."

I don't like Chris Carter. There is something about him that always bothered me, but he is 100% right about this. Moss has given up on too many teams for someone to go down that tired old road again. Some of you might consider this a bold statement, but at this point I'd rather have Owens then Randy Moss.

Moss was the most incredible WR the Patriots have ever had, but even when he was on top of his game he would take plays off. He doesn't go over the middle, and basically runs 1 route. I am getting sick of hearing how the Patriots should bring him back. The last thing the Patriots need is a quitter, and with the talent that is out there for free agents there is no need to take a chance on a guy like him.

If 1 thing goes wrong for Moss, or he isn't happy about 1 thing, that's it. He will cash his checks and do nothing. Ask the Raiders, Titans, Vikings, hell even ask the Patriots when he got pissy about his contract and decided to throw a hissy fit. Fuck that noise, he ran himself out of the NFL, keep him there.

Celtics Injury List Growing

Doc Rivers told reporters in Waltham where the Celtics were conducting practice that Kevin Garnett (hip flexor) and Mickael Pietrus (knee) are both "doubtful" for Wednesday's game against the Pistons at TD Garden.

You add them to a list that already had Bass (knee) and Jermaine O'Neal (vagina). The Celtics are just a banged up team. To be honest though, I think this could be a good thing for the Celtics. It's going to force Doc to play guys like JaJuan Johnson, because the Celtics are just go thin up front right now, and the Celtics are going to need him to get some experience for later in the year.

Doc has said they may be forced to go small, since the only big men left on healthy on the roster are on Wilcox, Stiemsma, Johnson, and perhaps Jermaine. You might actually see Bradley and Rondo on the court together tonight trying to trap, which could take some pressure off their big men. I am honestly interested to see what they will do tonight, because the NBA season is kind of boring and I would like to see more of these young guys to see if they have a future, but even more than that see if they could add a spark when the Celtics are in the playoffs.

Bruins Give Boychuk 3 Year Extension

Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk has agreed to a three-year contract extension. The deal is worth an annual average value of $3.36 million.

Let me start by saying I like Boychuk a lot. He is tough, and has the 4th highest +/- on the team. Still, the Bruins really overpaid here in my opinion. Boychuk is replacable, and I don't see anyother team throwing around this kind of money for a middle of the road defenseman. Maybe I am wrong, because I don't have the best handle on what NHL players are worth, but the fact is he is 28 years old and is just now starting to be a full time player. He has (in my opinion) peaked, and is the best he is going to be, and now you're going to pay him 3.36 million/year? Seems high to me.

A's About To Sign Manny Ramirez

Susan Slusser of the Chronicle reports Wednesday the A's are likely to sign Ramirez just before or soon after the start of spring training.

I guess in a way it makes sense. If you give Manny a minor league deal, you can bring him to camp, see if he has anything left, and if he doesn't then you can cut him and basically not lose anything. If he somehow works out the A's can wait till he is done his suspension (50 games), showcase him and see if they can get anything from him at the trade deadline.

Personally, I still wouldn't do it. Manny is such a headache, and with a team full of young guys, this might not be the best guy to have around the clubhouse.

Rangers @ Bruins Preview

Big game for the Bruins tonight, as they take on the Rangers at the Garden. The Rangers are in first place in the East, leading the Bruins by 7 points. These teams were only separated by a point or two for awhile, until the Bruins hit a recent rough patch.

Bruins haven't won back to back in over a month, they have a chance to do so tonight, and send a message to the rest of the league that they are not starting to fall off. The Rangers have won three in a row at Boston, and Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist has owned the Bruins in his career going 17-5-2 with a 1.51 GAA and five shutouts.

I am hoping Thomas is in net tonight, but there is no official word yet (will update when there is). I wish I could say I have a good feeling about this game, but the Bruins just haven't looked very good, and going against a hot goalie isn't going to help. One thing no one seems to be talking about is how much Seguin has fallen off. In his last 6 games he has 1 point. You have to wonder if he is losing his legs. He didn't have to play much last year, and has had to log some serious ice time this year. It is not talked about much in hockey, but you have to wonder if he has hit the wall at all.

Rangers win 2-1 (OT)
Player of the Game: Henrik Lundqvist
Game starts at 7pm

Ghostbusters 3 Without Bill Murray?

Roughly six months after dropping significant plot details, Dan Aykroyd has an update about Ghostbusters 3 and the likelihood of Bill Murray. Speaking with Empire, the actor hints that the former could end up being played by a different actor altogether.

"We communicate frequently and his position on the involvement in 'Ghostbusters 3' has been made clear and I respect that," says Aykroyd, who the magazine also claims suggested a possible "Jack Ryan" style recasting (Comingsoon.net)."

Fuck that. There is no Ghostbusters without Bill Murray. If he doesn't want to do it, then you don't do the movie. I would love to see a new Ghostbusters, but if he's not in it then you just have to just let a good thing just be a good thing from the past. The last thing I want to see is a half-assed Ghostbusters movie after having to sit through the abomination that was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
