Thanks, FLCeltsFan—long list today!

I think this was published yesterday, but I still love the NY Times’ report on Scal as ‘Scalabrine is the only one who actively wants to be interviewed. He is also the least intimidating pro athlete I have ever met…But Scalabrine doesnâ€™t look anything like a pro basketball player: he has red hair and a bread-dough body, and he wears a knit hat that would have looked goofy on a Beastie Boy in 1991.’

Of course, it being the Times, the story does go on to say Scal is a fan favorite because he is white and, well, Boston is Boston. The piece is actually about Kevin Garnett, and, it being the Times, they’ve now had to post two corrections online:

“Correction: March 1, 2008
An article on page 48 of Play magazine this weekend about the turnaround of the Boston Celtics misstates the number of times forward Kevin Garnett has been an all star. It is 11, not eight. The article also refers incorrectly to Brian Scalabrine, who plays forward and center. He is one of two white players on the team, not the only one. (Scot Pollard is also white.)”

LOL

I think they also referred to the Celtics stadium as The Fleet Center

I think they need a fact checker for Klosterman next time
