Fall Lineup 2007

by Jeff Clark on Sep 19, 2007 5:02 AM EDT in Humor

I did this same gimmick last year and enjoyed it so much that I think I’ll make it an annual thing. It is time for the new Fall TV shows to come out, so here’s a lineup for Celtics fans.

Big Shots

Starring Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen. Three big men on campus used to getting their way forced to live in the same dorm room. Hilarity ensues.

Pushing Daisies

Let’s see, the story is about someone that can make people die or come back to life with a single touch. Sounds like the story of Celtics fans. One minute we are destined for greatness, the next moment our heart stops because of some ping pong balls, then shortly after we’re alive and kicking again. In an odd sot of yin-yang sort of way, everytime we've been down, the Portland fans have been up, and vice versa.

Kid Nation

Stop me when you’ve heard this before. A bunch of kids get shipped to a desolate land where they have to fend for themselves in front of a viewing audience. Ladies and gentlemen, your Minnesota Timberwolves!

Dirty Sexy Money

Starring Wyc Grousbeck, Danny Ainge, and a cast of wacky free agent characters with big bankrolls. Watch as Scot Pollard hires a hair stylist to change his look for each quarter during the games. Watch as Eddie House falls asleep in the corner for 10 minutes at a time but when the ball swings around to him he can still nail the jumper with his eyes closed. Watch as James Posey teaches Kendrick Perkins the finer points of the forearm shiver by practicing on Chicago Bulls players.

Others to consider:

Chuck – The story of a Ray Allen’s range, which starts when he enters the gym.

Gossip – Basically a story about this blog right around draft time. Reality TV at its most gripping.

Cavemen - I think wdleehi's signature pretty much says it all:

Very good, especially Kid Nation – very funny!

As for Cavemen, there’s a part of me that wants to see this become a cult hit – in an Alf sorta way.

Hilarity ensues, indeed.

Man! even the poor caveman keeps hitting an all time low in respect.

You forgot Journeyman. Watch as Larry Bird walks through that door. Watch as Paul Pierce goes back to the Conferenec Finals. Can he change the outcome this time? :-)

Fun article Jeff. I would also add Heroes: Wyc, Steve and company open their wallets in order to build a contender in Boston.

Also, Tell Me You Love Me. Paul Pierce stars as Wyc and Co. finally give him what he has needed for years.

How about “House NBA” with David Blatt playing Hugh Laurie’s title role.

I was thinking the T-Wolves might be “Children of Men.”

And the Knicks could be House of Pain (Payne).

by FLCeltsFan @ CelticsBlog on Sep 19, 2007 11:55 AM EDT reply actions

IMHO the Knicks should by Murphy Brown-Sanders

Um, is Isiah Thomas a full blown idiot or what?

by The Real Large James on Sep 19, 2007 1:52 PM EDT reply actions

Dirty Sexy Money, starring Isiah Thomas is going to be cancelled early by the jury. That punk and the dope he works for deserve the haircut that is coming their way. You never can be sure about accusers these days, it’s so easy, witness the Duke rape story. But Isiah came out as a self centered, devious SOB when the story came out on that minor league he took over and we know what a little jerk he was as a pro so I think he’s guilty and I hope the jury whacks him good.

Wildblue,
I also don’t think he did himself any favors with his ‘’if a white man said it’’ routine. It’s so played out.

Agreed, Cousin. Ridiculous. I find the b-word as offensive as the n-word or any other racial slur BTW.

by The Real Large James on Sep 19, 2007 4:11 PM EDT reply actions

My confusion in all this is: When did the b-word become a racial slur? All the news reports are making it seem as though it has racial implications. I guess I’m naive. In my experience, that’s a word white girls call each other all the time.

On the other hand, other than the n-word, I find it hard to understand why adults would get offended by words. I respect Jeff’s rule about profanity, but I don’t really understand it. Why is one sequence of letters profane while another isn’t? What’s the big deal?

I realize everyone has a different perspective, but I can’t help feeling that people are either weak-minded or disingenuous when they say words offends them. If the words are said in a mancing way, that’s different. Then, it’s a matter of tone, and the words themselves are unimportant.

Anyway, sorry for being a blow-hard. And sorry for the cliche, but what really offends me is all the sanctimonious political correctness in the media every time someone uses a ‘’dirty word.’’ Like there aren’t bigger fish to fry than people calling each other names.
