Fan Shots

Is it time that NESN bans the fan shots during games? Just one night after they got a Red Sox fan on TV giving the finger, this happens. A shot of a Tampa fan receiving a hand job. Is this for real? Thanks to the world's greatest website Barstool sports for catching this. What the heck has this world come to? And does this girl have a slutty sister for me?

A few other notes for this quick day. I'm not too worried about the Red Sox getting swept by Tampa. Yes it's unfortunate, and yes the Sox look like they have a lot of problems right now, but a week ago everyone was still calling them the team to beat and soon they'll be back home doing their thing. Papi is out, Manny is struggling, Buccholz is being held off for the stretch run, they limit their starters' innings so they can dominate like Beckett did last year, and not fold like CC Sabathia. It's 162 games, and sure the Sox aren't in first like they were after 81 games but I still like their chances.

Lots to review from the NBA draft and other developments since. I'm going to go on record as saying that Russell Westbrook will be a big bust. That whole Oklahoma City franchise is going nowhere fast. They keep betting on the wrong horses, Kevin Durant and Co. are not headed for the playoffs any time soon, and choosing Westbrook 4th will could haunt them for a long time. Charlotte seems like another team destined for mediocrity. Not only did they pick a mediocre point guard ninth overall but now they're trying to trade Raymond Felton to clear the way for DJ Augustin. The Bobcats have shown how clueless they are ever since their inception. I'm still not convinced about Danilo Gallinari and I bet NY fans are gonna run him out of town before he becomes even a mediocre forward. As for the winners, well Portland seems to be headed for a nice run in the next few years, they continue to throw around money to earn themselves extra picks, which may or may not pan out, but you have to like the increased odds when you pick so often. I also liked what both Memphis and Minnesota did both teams got what they needed. Memphis is all about the bottom line right now and they cut their payroll for the future while adding young potential all-stars. Minnesota got a nice player in Mike Miller along with Kevin Love who they really wanted. Most of all both teams seem to be trying to build something great as opposed to winning just enough to keep them at the bottom of the playoffs every year.

Anyway, that's all for this quick post. Be careful what you do in public, you never know who'll be watching.
