Sure, you can spend your time dealing with the celebrity implications of Tom Brady's recent...prolific spree. But at Bostonist Sports, we're really looking forward to that 2031 NFL Draft. We can just see Mel Kiper III now, projecting that 12 of the first 13 picks will be quarterbacks with Tom Terrific's championship DNA. (The other pick will be the Detroit Lions, who will still be looking for a top-flight WR for Charlie Batch Jr. to throw to.)
The Bruins' late run at the playoffs may have officially fizzled. The Minnesota Wild came in and handled the B's 2-1, making the Wild (is that singular, or plural?) 4-0 lifetime at the Garden.
The Celtics host the Seattle tonight. The Sonics may have a place in their organization for Tim Hardaway, as they've come under fire lately for their ownership being chummy with powerful anti-gay forces in Washington State. Needless to say, that's making it real tough for solid-blue Seattle to want to spend money on the team or a new arena, possibly opening the door to a relocation. So this might well be the last Seattle-Boston game anytime soon.
Bill Simmons did a running diary of Wednesday's Celtics-Houston game. While he made us laugh a few times, this "fantanking" thing has gone too far. "Earlier today, I had a conversation with a friend about the best possible injury for Pierce that would (A) help our Oden-Durant chances, and (B) not damage Pierce long-term in any way. The answer? A broken left hand." Come on, Bill...like David Stern's going to let the Celtics anywhere near any of the two blue-chippers.
We're trying not to overdose on spring training stories, since every glimpse of Florida is a painful reminder that somewhere in America, people can go out of doors in fewer than 11 layers. But this one is too ridiculous to pass up: Major League Baseball is hosting an exhibition game in Memphis, called the Civil Rights Game. It will honor minorities who have been given the short end of the bat over the years. And if you guessed that one of the teams to christen this salute to the disenfranchised is the Cleveland Indians, then you have a pretty good idea how clueless Bud Selig can be.
