I’m not a superstitious person (Sophie, on the other hand…) but for some odd reason, I feel the need to repeat what I said before Tuesday’s Bruins/Islanders game. So, a note to my fellow Bruins fans. Let us not get too excited about the state of this series. It’s not over ’till it’s over and we have three periods to get through tonight before we know what’s next.

So, while it is okay to be excited for tonight’s game, it is not okay to sit back and believe that they’ve got this. The Islanders have had to fight from behind before and they won. Plus! John Tortorella is making changes to his lines. A last ditch effort? Probably, but like I just said and said on Tuesday, they have had to fight from behind before and they won so…let’s go Bs! Don’t screw this up.

Seriously.

Aww, are they not the cutest couple ever? I’m being serious. I know that many don’t feel the same about Brady/Bundchen, which is fine, but I can’t help myself, they’re just so cute! And this is coming from a Saints’ fan, don’t forget!

And while we’re talking about Gisele (and since we have talked fashion recently), I love her outfit here in this photo (which was apparently taken at her sister-in-law’s BU graduation). It’s so sophisticated chic!

Alright, enough of the Brady/Bundchen gushing and on to something serious.

Oklahoma. Looking at pictures and news coverage, Moore Oklahoma really does look like a war zone. My heart goes out to those who lost their lives, especially the little ones. :(

Much like they did last month here in Boston, many pro sports players have been advocating for and offering their support to OK. Wes Welker, who is from OKC, was active on twitter providing resources for those who want to donate and asking what he can do when he gets to Oklahoma on Friday. Kevin Durant, Oklahoma Thunder, donated $1 million to the Red Cross. Matt Kemp, a native to Oklahoma who currently plays for the New York Mets, donated $1000 for a homerun he hit the night of the storm as well as $1000 for each additional homerun he makes until the All Star break.

If you’re interested in helping, here is a link to a newsok.com article that lists a lot of the different and legit options available.

On a happier note, or…well, have you seen Kevin Durant’s new tatto?

It’s cool looking, yes? I think so, even if it does have a typo!

Due to a scheduling conflict with Radio City Music Hall, it looks like next year’s NFL draft will be pushed out a few weeks to mid-May. To most of us, the change means nothing, but apparently to the agents who represent draft prospects, the change is going to be devastating. Apparently these agents supports their clients financially, they pay for pro days, travel to and from “interviews,” and facilities to hold work-outs, etc. It all adds up and if they have to support them for an additional two to three weeks, well, they’re nervous.

It’s no surprise that agents have a bad rap, so many are having a hard time finding sympathy for them regarding this change. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.

Who’s Up For More NHL Playoff Talk?

May 21, 2013

First things first, a note to my fellow Bruins fans. Let us not get too excited about the state of this series. Instead, I urge us all to be cautiously optimistic. We’ve been here before not that long ago, remember? Up two games, then three, and then…I don’t think that I need to remind you [...]

In Which We All Hope Titus Young Gets The Help He Needs

May 21, 2013

A few weeks ago I quickly mentioned the heap of trouble Titus Young was in. To refresh your memory, Young was arrested three times in one week earlier this month, arrests that lead to DUI, attempted theft, and breaking and entering charges. Two of those three arrests, by the way, happened on the same day. [...]

The Weekly Rewind – May 18, 2013

May 18, 2013

Despite all of the Hockey excitement around here this week, it’s happening. The twitch. The ‘I’m really starting to miss football’ twitch. Unfortunately, there are still…14 Sundays left? Sigh… Chip Kelly is hiding all the cheetos. Brandon Marshall wants Titus Young to get the help he needs. Oh, well. Okay then. Did Evan Mathis leave [...]

NHL Playoffs: Thoughts Around The Bruins, Rangers, Sharks, Kings and…Penguins

May 16, 2013

Alright. Tonight is the night, the start of the Bruins/Rangers series! I am both excited and nervous. Excited for obvious reasons and nervous because us Bruins fans have to face the reality that Monday night’s ending might have been a fluke. Look, I’m happy they won, very happy. But that doesn’t hide the fact that [...]
