Speaking of wanting to appear on Matt Taibbi's Sports Blotter, no local sports figure has craved it more than Billy Tibbetts. Tibbetts, a burly and surly hockey right wing who briefly played for a host of teams - including some in the NHL - and who was on the reality show "Be a Bruin," led police on a high-speed chase in Abington. He eventually crashed into a telephone pole and tried to hide from the cops in a stranger's back yard early Monday morning. Can you imagine looking out the window and wondering, "What the hell is Billy Tibbetts doing in my back yard?"

Given the sports-crime incidents of the week, here's Bostonist's answer to Matt Taibbi's Sports Blotter - the Flagrant Foul column! Part two will appear in a few hours.

It's rare when we get to cross into Matt Taibbi turf, but Celtic Sebastian Telfair's gun-and-speeding charge allows us to do so.

Shira Springer points out that Telfair's latest incident in Yonkers is his "third brush with [the] law in 14 months." If only Telfair put the same amount of time in his basketball...
Last night, the Garden saw some serious ugly. After winning a few, Celtics fans had cause for optimism. However, they were facing the Houston Rockets, fifth in the West and fully stocked with Yao Ming. Even though the Rockets didn't exactly deliver a pitch-perfect performance, the Celtics collapsed quickly and never caught up. The final score was 111 to 80, and the Rockets made 15 three-pointers. The performance was so bad that we thought we...
The Celtics lost to the Kings 104 to 101. They had no business losing. After some good luck with beating the Bucks and Gerald Green's victory at the All-Star Slam Dunk contest, the Celtics were coming into their game with the Sacramento Kings with a little momentum.
Is the hoody a Yoda thing or a Darth Vader thing? It all comes down to that hoody. Pats coach Bill Belichick uses it to woo women, but the hoody might also empower him to treat his players badly. Former Pats linebacker Ted Johnson has gone public with accusations that Belichick made him get back into the game when he hadn't fully recovered from a concussion. Johnson feels Belichick's decision to put him back on...
It's rare when we dare to merge sports with the blotter because Matt Taibbi at the Phoenix has that department covered. But a high-school hockey game between Amesbury and Newburyport got ugly when Amesbury fans threw golf balls and squid onto the Newburyport ice. What were these teens thinking? And who found the squid? Real squid? The Globe writes that the Amesbury kids found enough stuff for a "deluge" that "lasted 5 to 10 minutes."...
