You Stay Classy, Spain



Moving has inhibited my ability to watch much (if any) of the Olympics.  But this picture of the Spanish basketball team (including your favorite Eurosoftie Pau Gasol) offering up their culturally sensitive salute to China is truly spectacular.  

Thank god for the Olympics.  Bringing the world together, to reinforce or shallow stereotypes of one another...

Game Six Twitters


The Celtics are WORLD CHAMPIONS!  And what a way to do it with a thirty nine point beat down.  In a league that has become all about superstars and offense, the Celtics snatched the title the old fashioned way with team basketball, focused defense, and consistent play from a deep bench.  Other thoughts:

-  Most touching moment of the night had to be KG to Bill Russell:  "I hope I made you proud, man."

-  Ray Allen ties an NBA finals record with 7 three pointers.  Although Pierce walked away with the MVP, Jesus was a consistent force from start to finish of this series

-  Eddie's skillz, P.J. Brown's toughness, Powe's hustle, even a Big Baby sighting.  How much fun is the Celtic's bench?

-  Talk about defensive shut down:  Celtics had more steals than the Lakers had field goals in the first half.

-  Coming soon to TBS, the new situational comedy "Pau Gasol and the Eurosofties".  Sample bit of dialogue:

Gasol:  Did you see flop to court?  Me play defense.

Vujabitch:  Yes!  Yes!  Me take shot.  Three balls for Sasha.  

Radmanovich:  I must break you.
-  Red Auerbach's all time final record remains intact.  It was a long time coming, but The Truth reigns supreme.
