I KNOW RED DIDN’T WANT CHEERLEADERS, BUT…

It’s really hard to argue against this:

That’s Celtics Dancer Alison Preston, and she’s in the 2009 SI Swimsuit Issue. Dang.

YOUR WORLD CHAMPION BOSTON CELTICS: THE RETURN TO THE RAFTERS

****UPDATE****

(The requisite “FUCK, Drew put us on Deadspin” throw-up)

Well, hey there, Deadspin. Welcome to Colt Monday. Go ahead, shit all over this awful waste of the internets we got going here. Just don’t piss on the seat like I do at your mom’s house, ok?  I’m going to have Drew come on Karlson & McKenzie out here in the City of Champions on WZLX next week (check my corporate-approved piddlings here), to help him further whore himself out to the masses with that ass-rag he’s been crowing about, and he goes and repays me by crushing me (however rightly) on Deadspin. But that’s cool, I’ll help a fat pasty limp-dicked author get some pub. Besides, that book of his could really use some promotion on a medium that appeals to people other than super frilly homo-gays. You’ve no doubt come here to bash Boston and its extremely good fortune lately, and most likely my beard while you’re at it, but that’s fine. I’m just happy to have you here, it’s an honor to be linked to by Deadspin, even if they’re firmly entrenched in the “QUEEN + Paul Rodgers” stage of the site now that Will’s come to Boston. I guess we do skim the cream off everything sports related around here, huh?

So go ahead and poke around like you’re back in your high school locker room blindfolded after a lacrosse match. Bring the ruckus. (You too, basketbawful.)

To wit:

 

 

BEAT THAT.

Sorry I haven’t posted these until now, but good god, did we get tits-up drunk last night at the banner-raising/season opener. I can’t say thank you enough to all the ComcastSportsNet people (Skip, Amy, Steve, and our hosts for the pre-party over at Johnnie’s on the Side’s). Pete and I had a freaking blast. It was awesome, as you’ll be able to see from these pics. Anytime you can kick it with the Commish, them’s good times.

* And yes, I lost it when they showed PP up on the Jumbo crying. I bawled like a freakin’ baby. World Champs, son!   

I touched him and my arm didn't wither off and die!

The guy that announces the picks during the 2nd round of the Draft actually took the pic.

Skip's face is hilarious.

 And if you asking yourself, “Hey, why didn’t Braden take any pics of the banner being raised?” Here’s the Answer: FUCK OFF.

 The Quest for Banner #18 is underway.

GOD I LOVE MY JOB

So, here’s some pics from the Celtic Dancer auditions on thursday night. I was a judge with about 10 other ”celebrities”, including my future ex-wife Ayla Brown, from American Idol, Gary Gulman, our dear fried from MIX 98.5 Kelly Malone, and the big guy, Big Baby Davis. I ended up standing outside during the intermission with Pete and watching Gulman shut down this drunk chick who was throwing all sorts of game at him. It might have been a top 10 moment in my life when he told her “You can’t handle a 6′6″ jew, hon.” Greg Daniels from MIX and Doug Meehan from FOX 25 (The chopper guy) can hang too, those guys were still downing drinks like champs when I left. Everybody was really cool, but I guess I might have overstepped when i was handed the mic and teased Billy Costa (from KISS and TV Diner) that i was really fond of his “cooking show”. Good times had by all, and I think the final team of Dancers is awesome. Big thanks to Marina Ortega, Heather Walker and everybody else for an awesome time. Check out more pics below.

OK Ladies, line forms to the right

GUESS WHO’S A JUDGE AT THE CELTICS DANCERS FINAL AUDITION?

FUCK AND YES.

Who’s the judge?

That’s right. This guy. I’m helping choose the celtics dance squad for next year. Me.

Do you ever get the feeling like you were born to do something? This might be it for me.

Come on down to the Roxy around 7pm and check it out, it’s gonna be awesome. Bring $10 for the Shamrock Foundation, and it’s 18+.
