Donnie Wahlberg appeared on ESPN FirstTake on Wednesday morning and predicted the Celtics would win an NBA title this year. He said the key be the strong bench, as Wahlberg sees it, assembled by Ainge to support the new Big Three. He also debated Sox/Yanks, Clemens and Moss. Wahlberg, who got his Kill Point show plugged, panned Big Rog as not showing up for big games (see Pedro, Roger, Grady). He added that Duquette was right, at the time, for letting Clemens leave as a free agent and cited dollars and performance as key factors. He also said dropping Roger opened the door for Pedro. Donnie, who was great in Band of Brothers, also was unfazed by the Yankees recent surge. He even dismissed the impact of a sweep by the Empire. Wahlberg said the new Manny-being-Manny Sox won't wilt in the face of NY pressure. Wahlberg's co-debater and ESPN FirstTake regular Skip Bayless was taken aback by a new breed of cocky Sox fan.

I would like to put forward a motion to permanently ban the use of the phrase "The Razor".
