So Danny Boy has his eyes set on another aging former all star, eh?  Is he trying to qualify the C’s for AARP coverage?  I thought the whole point of getting Nathan Robinson was to get younger.  Never mind that two of the three players that were traded for him were younger, plus the second [...]

The Boston Herald is reporting this evening the the Celtics have reached an agreement. I have such sentimental feelings for any member of the 2008 team. I’m sorry to see Eddie go but I understand that Celtics need to get younger and more athletic.

I was happy to see Kevin Garnett speak to the media about Rondo’s comments. KG responded to Rondo’s remarks in a very “PC” way but certainly got his point across saying, “…it’s said in the closed confinements of the locker room and to each other as men, and I want everybody here to respect that.’’

It is well known amongst some corporate circles that we here at North Station Sports love the New York Yankees.  Many an occasion have I sat around in the lobby of the NSS offices with senior writer Lee Herman, downing cervesas (during off hours, because at North Station Sports we believe in drinking responsibly) and [...]

The following article was just posted on NBA.com by David Aldridge:

Already reeling from a spate of injuries to key players, the Boston Celtics may have lost All-Star forward Paul Pierce for a significant period of time to a broken left foot, according to a league source.
