See, this is what happens when your Internet goes down for a few days - the world goes and upends itself. What has changed in the three days we’ve been away? Well, Ingmar Bergman, Tom Snyder, Michelangelo Antonioni and – perhaps saddest of all – Bill Walsh have died, Mike Vick continues to prep himself for jail, and the Celtics have mortgaged their future to form a trio of aging superstars.
What do we think? The deaths, obviously, are tragic and our hearts go out to the families of the deceased, but the lives these men led were so rich and influential it’s hard to be too depressed when thinking about the joy and knowledge they brought to this world. Okay, cornball soliloquy over. As for Vick – he’s done. We’ll go on record now saying we don’t think he’ll play another down in the NFL and there’s a good chance he’ll do as much as 18 months in federal prison. Dirty Bird, indeed.
The Celtics? We don’t know what the hell they’re thinking, other than Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers are making a serious power play to save both their jobs and make Boston NBA-relevant again. They could have done this years ago by drafting well, forgoing idiotic trades and resigning, but we’ll take it. 2010 and beyond is going to be rough. We’re just sayin’.
