Paul Pierce, the Celtics captain, perennial all-star and 2008 MVP of the NBA Finals, might have played his last game as a Celtic when the purple and yellow confetti dropped to the floor of the Staples Center earlier this month.
After the Celtics lost to the Lakers in an epic game 7 of the 2009-10 NBA finals, there were boat loads of questions that team president, Danny Ainge, had to address. One of them was whether or not Paul Pierce was going to opt out of his final year of his contract.
Today the USA will face off against Canada for the gold medal for hockey in the 2010 Olympic games. There hasn't been a hockey game of this magnitude since 1980, better known as the "Miracle on Ice."
When Team USA beat the ever-mysterious Russian team — who up to that point, set the gold standard of hockey around the world — patriotic pandemonium ensued at Lake Placid, NY.
Just finished watching the Superbowl. First off, congrats to the Saints for taking home their first ever world championship.
While the game was fantastic, the best scene I saw tonight (and arguably ever in professional sports) was when the cameras cut away to Drew Brees holding his son with tears in his eyes.
Not that I'll ever be in Brees shoes, but I know exactly how he feels.
Accomplishing anything in life isn't worth a dime unless you can share it with your family. All the work you put in doing what you love to do is all for them. When times are tough, they are there to support you and get you through it. When things are great, they are there to pat you on the back and give you a congratulations hug.
