Lebron James' Kindgom is Slowly Falling Down on Him

Dear David Stern,
Hows my ass taste?
Sincerely,
Dwight Howard and the 2008-2009 Orlando Magic

David Stern has got to be in a padded cell somewhere in a straight jacket losing his mind right now. On Saturday night, he watched his dream series blow up in his face after the Orlando Magic knocked off the Cavs in game 6 in the playoffs. Thus preventing the "Dream Match up" of Lakers-Cavs and having the leagues two biggest names and marketing devices, Kobe "Rape is my Middle Name" Bryant and LeBron "I'm Slowly Morphing into Rickey Henderson" James. I cant imagine all the stuff coming out about LeBron not shaking hands, not doing a post-game press conference, and not taking the team charter back to Cleveland after the loss is just adding fuel to David Stern's mini melt down too.




I don't really have a major problem with what LeBron did after the game. But I do have a problem with him not understanding that if your gonna be a cash cow for the NBA, you got take the good with the bad. I don't know how close he is with DH, but I assume they are pretty close and the best he can do is send him an E-Mail after the game congratulating him? That's fucking weak. Be a Man, suck it up and do the right thing. Do one of the things, maybe congratulate, Dwight, maybe you just do the Press conference, but at least fly home with the fucking team. Listen, no one reading this is a pro-athlete, so none of us know what its like to lose a game of this magnitude when it is essentially your life. But we were all athletes at one point and when you got punched in the mouth you fucking wore it and that was that.




I'm not saying he had to have this special moment and whisper sweet nothings in any one's ear, or give a 30 minute press conference, but LJ could have handled this whole thing much better. And whether you agree with it or not, King James is losing more and more supporters as time goes on. Ill tell ya what else....Michael would have never pulled a stunt like this, partly because he never lost games like this. You still got a ways to go kiddo.....

Vote on Irv's Weekly Poll!!!

Well after being gone for a while, Big Irv's weekly poll is back! He is making up for lost time by throwing out two polls for this week. Make sure you vote by noon of next Thursday!

Why Reality TV Sucks


OK I have grown tired of watching George Kottaras's back as he chases every ball thrown to him to the backstop like this was a little league game and for the first time this NBA post-season, we didn't have a tightly contested game. So I am kinda bored/aggravated. So what better time to post a blog entry then right now, right? Anyways, I just want to throw a few things out there and see what our glorious audience has to say about things.



I don't watch reality TV. I think its the biggest joke in the world. Its not good TV, its not funny, its just an absolute joke. It pisses me off when people say that they "DVR'd The Gauntlet" or cant go out cuz they have to see this episode of "Survivor" or "Jon and Kate Plus 8". This is why our country is falling apart. Not cuz our economy is bad, or the President is driving us straight into the ground, its because too much of our population is stuck watching this shit and day dreaming that they could be a reality TV star and make millions. People actually quit their wage paying jobs so that they can try to be reality TV lifers. Hey get a fucking clue. It ain't happening and your a fucking joke if you actually believe that it could happen. Get off your fat ass and go out and do something, or get a job or interact with humans and stop trying to be these losers that these TV stations are shoving down our throat. For Christ sakes it sickens me that people like Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey are famous for the reasons that they are. The only reason people talk about them is because they had a fucking TV camera follow them around, so now all of a sudden they deserve to be celebrities. Nick Lachey was in a boy band that didn't even have a shelf life and Jessica Simpson wasn't even hot before reality TV. Now all of a sudden her tits are hanging out everywhere and she is a sex symbol dating one of the most overrated players in the NFL who thinks that buffalo wings come from actual buffalo. Really people??? REALLY???


Oh and not to mention too that everyone who has ever been on a reality show has their entire life ruined. J. Simpson and Mr. Miller Lite break up cuz of all the cameras. Jon from Jon and Kate is banging some school teacher and Kate has become a total whore when she used to be this little miss perfect, girl next door mom. That's good for your lil kids too. Mommy is a skank and Daddy had sex with my pre-school teacher. Real good fucking parenting. In all seriousness, if Terry Bollea, aka "The Real American" Hulk Hogan cant keep his family together after their extremely mild VH1 reality show, which I will admit I was hooked to because Hogan is one of my heroes, and for obvious reasons, then who can keep their marriage and family from self destructing?




Now these fucking Dating Shows are out of control. You know way back when our parents were growing up they had a show called the "Dating Game". Kinda cute nothing serious. Some guy or chick try to pick out some one on a half hour show without seeing them, go out on a date and then that's that. I bet even 90% of the time they never even go out. Or if they did they just got weird, had a one night stand and called it a night. So probably back about 8 years ago the Bachelor and Bachelorette come out. Where essentially it is the "Dating Game", but now you get your pick of the litter of 30 either studs or smoke shows. Again cameras following people around everywhere and you pick the person on who essentially is the best looking person. Does anyone who watches these shows really think that this is a good way to build a relationship? Or that the people are actually soul mates?


Fucking Christ people. Remember about 10-12 years ago, the show "Who Wants to Marry A Millionaire?" They actually had a show that was solely based around being a gold digger....and people were fucking hooked on it!!! Now today they got "The Cougar", "Rock of Love", "Tila Tequila" or even worse our very own Boston related one, "Sox Appeal" and god probably knows I'm missing about 100 other ones. And on all these shows its all the same people. Why people...why?? Am I missing the boat on this? Should I be hooked to these shows and imagining that I am going to meet the future Mrs. Rocco on NBC?



Now I don't throw shows like "American Idol" and "Dancing With the Stars" into this batch. just for the reasons that "American Idol" actually helps people who are struggling and have actual talent get to where they need to go. People like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have become stars because of it and they deserve it. They have the talent to be where they are, they just needed a little help. "Dancing" is where they take people that are already celebrities, and real ones too, like A-List celebrities for the most part and they actually see if they can do all these old school dances. Its actually not to bad from some of the shows that I have actually seen. No surprise either that athletes have won almost all of the competitions too.
OK that's my rant...thanks for listening. Good talk see ya out there.

The First of Many "Tom Brady Sits at the Right Hand of the Father" Blogs



Well with the recent release of this weeks Sports Illustrated, I would not be doing my job as an American Blogger in the New England Region if I did not write about the cover boy, Tom Brady. First off, I have to go off on my obligatory rant about people that shit on Tom Brady.



If you shit on Tom Brady it is for one reason and one reason only, your jealous. This man lives by one motto "Guys want to be me, and girls want to do me." And if you cant respect the man for that then I don't know what the hell your problem is. Any man in the country would kill to be the starting QB for the "Team of the Decade", be the winner of 3 Super Bowls, MVP in 2 of those, Regular Season MVP, along with numerous single season records for wins and as a team and individual records as a QB and to go home at night to his Supermodel wife who makes his ridiculous pay check look like minimum wage compare to what she makes. Oh ya not to mention that women across the world get wet just thinking about him, not to mention a good portion of guys, homosexual or not. I cant forget either how every time the man speaks, the entire world is at his beckoning. He was a guest of honor for the President of the United States for Christ sakes.





So ya, if that's why you hate him I guess you have a lot of good reasons.




Anyways, after hearing and reading bits and pieces of his recent SI article I swear to God I was getting goosebumps just thinking about the upcoming season. Anyone who has ever questioned his passion for football should read this article and let me know what you think now. This is a man on a mission. There is no question in my mind that starting on Monday, September 14 in glorious Gillette Stadium, that Tom Brady is going to conduct not only the Patriots offense, but the entire Patriots team like Keith Lockhart conduct the Boston Pops on the 4th of July....Flawlessly.


P.S. - Wes Welker and Randy Moss both said that if the team stays healthy this years offensive unit could out do 2007. UUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I cant fucking wait for Football season.

Im a Made Man Now...Rockdaddy is a Godfather!



Cue the new official music to Rockdaddy, Speak Softly Love, also known as the theme to "The Godfather". The reason for this, I am gonna be a Godfather. Yup, this is probably the worst thing that could have happen to the rest of civilization. I can guarantee you that I am going to completely abuse this new title that I have now. I should probably add this to my cell phone voicemail. Now I diffidently will have the worlds longest voicemail for those of who you have the pleasure to actually have my digits saved into your phone, enjoy waiting for over 2 minutes before you can leave your very important message.



Anyways getting back to the matter at hand here, I have to come up with a crew now. I need a right hand man, a Consigliere and some goons. I say we start small. Maybe open up some type of small business right in Boston somewhere so we look legitimate, and then from there we make our moves. The important thing is to build up street cred. Also, I need to find a good store where I can buy matching fedora hats to suspenders. I believe that's key to success of this entire operation.



Also, I am going to throw this disclaimer out there. I know that the whole Godfather thing is a real big Italian thing. But because most of my friends are not of this ethnic background, I will not be holding prejudice to people that want to join this gang that aren't Italian. I will say this though, I will probably make you slick your back and at least move your hands and arms a lot when you speak.


Send applications to droptreats@gmail.com. I will be setting up a monster.com account so if you are a registered member to that you can just send in your applications through that too. Have a happy Monday and Memorial Day people. Keep those BBQ's rolling all day.

Just because the sun is blazing right now, doesnt mean that we have to be irresponsible. Make sure smart decisions are being made out there. Remember, this is what the girl of your dreams looks like before you start drinking.

WHAT WOULD ROCCOS KID LOOK LIKE IF HE HAD SEX WITH A THREE TOED SLOTH



THIS

Memorial Day Weekend is Bringing the Heat...Literally


You see this is what I am talking about right here. It is no surprise at all to at least me that the greatest state in the country is going to have hands down the best weather of the year on this long weekend. 91 today, 85 tomorrow, 70 Saturday, 78 Sunday and Monday. You fucking kidding me? I am getting giddy just thinking about it. Of course though the one day I actually have to pretend I have a job is tomorrow so I wont be able to fully participate in all the festivities, but in reality all that really means is that instead of drinking my wine coolers starting at noon I start at 4 or 5. Either way ill be a blacked out mess by 10. Actually that's probably a good thing in the long run because we all know how I get when I get drunk, a lot of crying and repressed memories that I stored far away in the back of my head get resurfaced. OK just kidding about that but ill defiantly end up doing something wicked gay that offends someone to the point that I don't talk to them for weeks, and that's a guarantee!
So everyone dust off your flippy-floppies and your finest sleeveless shirt because today is the start of the long weekend. I want this to be every ones weirdest weekend yet! Also, we want to open this up to the readers. Send us your stories from the weekend and let us know how fucking weird you get. Irv, we are trying to get your poll up right now (if i had a nickel everytime someone said that to me...).
If you are looking for me Ill be getting weird somewhere, check all drained out pools and curbside drains for my mutilated carcass.
Do work y'all

OK This Allergies Bullshit Can Stop Right Now



I have had absolutely enough! The fact that I cant go outside for 5 minutes and not sneeze for another 20 minutes is fucking ridiculous. I am taking more horse tranquilizer sized pills than I know what to do with and still nothing works. When I come back into my house, I end up sounding like a fucking 21 gun salute...except its a sneeze and I am saluting no one.


Then not only am I sneezing but I get such bad red eye that I have to wear sunglasses or people are gonna think that I have been hysterically crying or I have just had the roughest crasterbation session in the history of mankind. This is summer time, I am supposed to be outside in really short shorts showing off my bulge and running with my shirt to try and get laid.


I shouldn't have to wear a god damn gas mask when i go outside so my over sized freakishly large nose doesn't kill some one with the mucus flying from it.

Sunday Bloody Sunday...


Oh man this has been a rough week for Boston sport fans. The B's get eliminated from a series that most thought that they would win, at home, in the Garden. Now this today. The C's who have more players in finely pressed Italian suits than wearing the green and white got eliminated, at home in a Game 7. This was tough. As much as I was 100% confident that somehow the Celts would win today, I had this feeling deep inside my gut that just told me this was the end of the line.
You could tell right from the opening tip that the C's didn't have it. They were half a step slower in all aspects of the game. And it sucks to see them end up loosing by 19 because this years team deserved better. They fought through the injuries and showed more heart than almost any team in recent Boston history to get to the point of the season that they did despite not having any depth at all. Their starting 5 was essentially playing 42 minutes every night. Their legs were drained. You knew maybe they would have gotten eliminated in the next round by the Cavs, but you never know. The one thing I do know about this years team is that they would have made sure the Cavs earned their way to the NBA Finals and they didn't get a free ride through this round like they have through 1 and 2. Hopefully at least the Magic will put up a fight and not turtle like they have shown they can in the ECF.
All in all though a very good season for the Celtics. Now they get a few extra weeks off to rest up and get ready for the next season. Hopefully they come back healthy and we can add some depth at the guard position and some height to come off the bench. The window is closing on this current Celtics roster and I have all the trust in Danny Ainge and his people that they will find a way to do what it takes to get us Banner 18 in 2010.

Getting Fitted For Our Tuxes on Sunday...Time to Bring the Heat

Jeremy Grey: Grab that net and catch that beautiful butterfly, pal! What do you like better, Christmas or Wedding Season? [Jeremy raises his hand]
John Beckwith: Mr. Grey?
Jeremy Grey: Yes. The answer would be, um, Wedding Season?

Its Wedding Season baby! Now granted, I don't need to crash the wedding I am going to this summer because I am the best man. But don't you think for a second that I wont be dropping lines like "We lost a lot of good men out there" or my personal favorite "I feel so small in your arms". When "Shout" comes on people better be wearing their officially licensed John Harrison ponchos because its gonna be a deadly combination of the bubbly and Rockdaddy sweat flying all over the place.


This weeks update is that this Sunday we are getting fitted for our tuxedos. Now I have no idea about anything but I've been sizing up the competition and i don't think there is a question that I am the clubhouse favorite for Wedding King. I'm gonna be bringing a new kind of heat to this thing that no one has ever seen before. I wouldn't be surprised that when we go and get our tuxes this weekend that if they ask me if I want to be a professional model. I am pretty sure I am going to rock the shit out out of this tux. All I am really doing is just calling a spade a spade in this situation; Tall-Check, Dark-Check, Handsome-Check Plus.



The Pre-Wedding Summer Weight Lifting Program has become more and more intense as well. No more is it just chest and bi's, but I have incorporated abs and calves into my routine too for the absolute total body workout. Now all I got to do is just add in the topless running around Southie and I will have the perfect tan to go along with my chiseled features.

Bachelor Party is T-Minus 63 days...Get your popcorn ready.

Well...Thats Not Exactly How We Planned Today Now Was It


Talk about one of your all time back fires. Sox lose in the get-a-way game this afternoon in 12 innings. Celts were leading the entire game in to the 4th Quarter and then they lose by 8. Bruins had plenty of chances but lose in OT and get eliminated. What the fuck is going on? Am I in some kind of fucking nightmare right now? Thank god for the Green Machine team in Tewksbury Men's League Basketball coming back from being down 10 with 3 minutes left to play and winning by 4 to advance to the Semi-Finals or we would have an out right State of Emergency on our hands. But in a weird way I guess this is God evening the playing field out with us and the rest of the world because of our recent dominance. But still...losing is no where near as fun as winning. I feel terrible right now.


I don't want to get sentimental or anything right now but if there is any silver lining today it is with the Bruins. There is no such thing as a moral victory in any level of sports, especially when the loss means the end of the season, but as our good friend Fio pointed out to me shortly after the game via text from the great state of Georgia, this team brought hockey back to Boston. In the two years under Claude Julien, the B's have gone from 13th to 8th in his first year and then into 1st this season. This is the blue collar team that this town has been looking for since the days of Neely, Oates, Bourque and Moog. Hopefully Peter Chiarelli and Cam Neely will be able to re-sign in the future the young stars that we have like Bergeron, Lucic, Kessel and Krejci and keep this solid nucleus along with guys like Chara and Savard together for a good while. Also, their top priority this off season should be the re-signing of goalie Tim Thomas. All they need to do is just to continue to do what all of the other sports teams in this region have done and that made them successful. Keep adding good complimentary players that fit into the Bruins style of play around their stars. If they do that this should be a team hopefully that has a nice run into the playoffs and hopefully to Lord Stanley's Cup over the next years to come.


I'm gonna go throw up right now.

COMMUTING TO WORK

The only thing worst than work is commuting to work and everyday I am shocked with how many fuckin morons exist on this planet. Here is a run down of a few things that drive me fuckin bananas .




PEOPLE WHO RUN UP ESCALATORS
You are on stairs that fucking move by themselves. Really?? you really have to fucking run up them to get a your stupid miserable job as fast as humanly possible.........This is like riding a real horse on a merry-go-round.......which I hope someone does to you and you get tramples by the horse and suffer horrific injuries...idiots.








PEOPLE WHO TELL YOU TO MOVE IN ON THE T WHEN THERE IS NO SPACE LEFT


"Oh I'm sorry 300 pound lady, but I can't move in due to the fact that every available space is filled with morons like yourself. See what happens is the train is first empty when it leaves the station, and as it starts to pick more and more people up, the train fills up with miserable fucks such as yourself........and when this happens, it becomes increasingly difficult to move "In" and make more space.... May I suggest shutting the fuck up and waiting for the next train? "




PEOPLE WHO MAKE CALLS ON THE SUBWAY JUST TO SAY THEY'RE LOSING SERVICE
























Oh your having trouble hearing someone when you just called them from a vehicle that's usually traveling under the earths surface.....no fuckin way. Thats like jumping into the ocean during December and then telling someone the waters a little cold......I think you can squeeze in some time to call your loser friend back later and discuss last nights episode of Greys Anatomy .... tools

Theres way more but I dont feel like typing anymore because I am watching the Bruins about to take the lead in game 7 and do work and I have the Celtics game dvrd for after so noone tell me what happens, although I am fairly confident it involves Scalabrine putting on a shitshow for the make a swish foundation)( rainnnnnnnnnnnnnnndropssssssssssss

KOBE how my TREATS TASTE

2009 Summer Movie Run Down


Well even though it is the summer and people want to go to the beach and have vacations and all that shit, one of the best things about the summer time is the movies that come out. Every year there is at least one movie that everyone waits the whole summer to go see. Or maybe even that movie is how you remember you summer. For instance when we were 12 years old, after I hit the game winning walk off home run to dead center against Chelmsford Fitts in a rain extended game, me, my parents and JimmyJames went and saw Men In Black. And despite the walk off home run being one of my top 5 all time athletic achievements, I remember that being the Men in Black summer. This summer plans to be no different with some of the blockbusters that are going to be released.

After seeing 100's of previews and setting the all time record for most searches in under 30 minutes on IMDB.Com, here is the list and I have compiled.

1) Transformer's: Revenge of the Fallen

As a young Rockdaddy, I was a HUGE Transformers fan. I had all different types of their toys in my house strategically placed so my dad would step on them and fall on his face. Unfortunately that bastard was a lot more agile than he looks and would usually just grab me by the back of the neck and drag me across the pavement.

But I digress....
Anyways all we really need to know about this movie is that the first one was awesome, Michael Bay is back and directing this one so you know the special effects are gonna be sick and that Megan Fox (UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) is in this one as well. Hopefully she has more scenes like this in the movie.























2) Terminator: Salvation

What should be the last installment of this great film franchise. This is another American classic and favorite of mine, your real expert on the Terminator series is big D so forward all questions to him so maybe he can write more than just a "D's Lesson of the Weekend" blog. O ya D, thanks for the shout out by the way...Do Work SONNNNN.

Don't be surprised if somehow through the movie Christian Bale impregnates thousands of women through his awesomeness. He is soooooooooooo dreamy....

3) G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra

Another toy that we all grew up playing with. Is it just me or was our generation of TV shows and toys way sweeter than any others? We truly did grow up in America's Golden Age. This without question is going to be a bad ass movie just like the two already listed. Dennis Quaids awesomeness flies under the radar screen sometimes, but it shouldn't cuz this guy just dominates roles. He is the perfect person to be playing General Hawk. Then we got Sienna Miller playing the Baroness (UUUUGGGGHHHH). The only real potential downfall I see is that Marlon Wayans is playing in a role that is going to get a lot of screen time. Everyone knows that no one in the Wayans family can act. There has got to be 1000 different guys that could have been a better choice to play Ripcord.
4) Angels and Demons
So I am trying this new thing called "Reading" this summer. Apparently all you do is just read words on pages from left to right and then top to bottom. Interesting concept. Most of the books I read have big, bright pictures and pop ups. But most "grown up" books don't have things like this at all. It makes me sad. But anyways this along with The DaVinci Code (weird awesome book about an Italian...never saw that one coming) are the two of the first books I plan on reading. And seeing that Tom Hanks is in it, its got to be worth seeing.

5) Public Enemies
Just heard about this movie the other day. This is the true story about the infamous bank robber John Dillinger. So Christian Bale plays an FBI agent and Johnny Depp plays Dillinger. You had me at Hello. There isn't one person male or female who wont want to see this movie just because of the totally awesome cast. Women and men alike (guilty as charged) are getting wet just thinking about these two in the same movie. Oh Ya...is this a potential practice run for the cast of Batman 3?????

6) The Hangover
I have to give credit to my roommate Kevin Field for turning me onto this one. He showed people the extended preview for this months ago and it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. This could be one of the greatest cast puts together of all time. Andy from "The Office", Sack from "Wedding Crashers", Luke from "Out Cold", and Nicholas Cages sidekick from "National Treasure". How awesome of a C+/B- group of celebrities is that? I hope Fogie's Bachelor Party is a fifth as sick as this bachelor party looks.
Ya I know some of you might be like where is X Men and Star Trek....well too bad May isn't the summer so they don't make the cut. They both do look pretty sweet though and I will probably pay the Saturday Matinee price to see them both.
Happy Thursday people....work week is almost over.

This is Getting Silly


OK seriously, this is now the third time that I have written this EXACT SAME ENTRY!!!! Three Boston teams play and wouldn't you fucking know it...all three teams win. What a concept. Its like Groundhog Day here in Boston. We wake up, go to work, eat lunch, read Droppin Treats, go home and watch 3 sports teams come out and win and then go to bed like its nothing. The craziest thing now is that all the wins are starting to look the same. Come on now, the Celtics come from behind in the 4th quarter and shock the world....AGAIN. The B's are in a must win and wouldn't you know it, they dominate from the opening drop and they...WIN! The Sox hang around all game long, get into the Angels/Insert Team Name here's Bullpen and...WIN!!!!


Fuck I am not going to even go into details on all the games like usual. But we just need to take a few things from today:


A) Stan Van Gundy will be fired after the game on Thursday when they get knocked out in 6 just like I predicted on this very blog for his teams inability to hold double digit leads in the 4th quarter against a beaten down Celtics team. This will be his last Head Coaching job.


B) The Bruins will at least make it to the Stanley Cup if not win it all. I don't care who they play in the next round. Whether its either Crosby or Ovechkin, they win in 5. They are just tougher/better than everyone else in the league.


C) The Sox win the AL East by 6 games, and it shouldn't even really be that close. The Sox top 3 pitchers have not pitched to form and dominated like expected, David Ortiz has no home runs, Youk and Pedroia are hurt and they still are winning games. Imagine what they are gonna be like when everyone gets healthy/hot?!


D) Don't count out the Celtics next round against the Cavs quite yet. There is something about this years team that you just cant count out. Ya they got to make it hard on themselves by continually coming from behind in all these games but ill tell ya what. I refuse to bet against them because every time you think they are dead...they come storming back with a big shit burger for everyone to have. Don't be surprised if KG plays either.
Just as a heads up, all three teams play again on Thursday. Expect to see this copy and pasted on Friday morning.
GOD I FUCKING LOVE BOSTON....WOOOOOOOOOOO

Lesson of the Weekend: 5/11/09


a)
Two 4's don't make an 8. (courtesy: Rockdiddy)

= ?



b) You can really make a cabbie's day by making fun of people standing outside. Example scenario: It's friday night just as the bars are lettting out; you're in the backseat of a cab stopped at a red light at the corner of Boylston and Tremont when you notice a girl trying to hail cabs that already have passengers.
You: (to girl, through the open window) Where you going?
Chick: (long pause) Umm...where are YOU going?
You: This isn't a trick question, we're going to the north end. Are you heading anywhere around there?
Chick: Oh. No, I'm going to Park Street.
You: (to cabbie): Is this girl really trying to get a cab to take her 200 yards up the street? Let's get the hell out of here...I feel sorry for the poor guy that picks her up and has to let her out 30 seconds later.

(hearty laughter ensues)

Another Day...Another Sweep

Listen this is starting to get repetitive now. The Sox, Celts and Bruins all play on the same day, and they all win. And all three wins were statement wins. Are other regions of the country taking notes on us? I mean even national radio and TV stations are finally even starting to get amazed by our dominance. Like its borderline insane. I think even at times I get taken back at how much better we are than everyone else. Imagine living in a place like Kansas City? How about LA/Oakland, must be fucking terrible.





In the Bruins game, this was just an old fashioned ass kicking. Everything went the B's way minus Aaron Ward pulling his best Ricky Hatton impression and dropping like a ton of bricks in the 3rd Period. Zdeno Chara played the ultimate tough guy after getting slashed at the end of the 2nd Period and marched right out tehre for the first shift of the 3rd period. Phil Kessel was able to get on the score sheet today with 2 goals and Milan Lucic brought the thunder. The real Tim Thomas stepped up too, putting up his first career playoff shut out. He was dominate in between the pipes, but at the same time the Bruins were in control so much in this game he was never really tested. A true team win. This was like a totally different Bruins team. This was the team that steamrolled the Canadians in Round 1. Hopefully now the B's can use this momentum and carry it back to Carolina and bring this series back to Boston so they can wrap it up on Thursday.


I can honestly say that for the first time probably in my entire life, I watched more of the B's than I did the Sox. Granted I know tonight was a make or break playoff game, but I wasn't even really flipping back and forth, because we had that other playoff team playing tonight down in Orlando. But I caught the 8th and 9th inning. Papi gets the big hit to start the inning and then the front runner for MVP Jason Bay gets yet another Go-Ahead/Game Winning hit. He is spitting the hottest fire in the league right now. Its just silly what Jason Bay is doing. And we were nervous that no one would be able to replace Manny...hows that one working out for LA/Pittsburgh. Depending on how this steroid scandal with ManRam plays out, this could be one of the biggest trades in Sox history when we look back in 10 years. It might even be less than that. Then Pap comes in and makes things a little interesting but just nuts up and strikes out the side to end it with runners on 2nd and 3rd. He didn't even bother with his off speed shit, he just threw good ole' number one and made Pena, Upton, and Crawford look silly.


Then the C's game was just silly. It was a fairly close game throughout, while the Magic had every opportunity to blow this sucker wide open. The Celts were just persistent and they out husteld the Magic to every loose ball and board. Every single one of their starters was in foul trouble, Ray Ray was cold as ice and the bench scored 2 points all game...2! Pierce made the ultimate smart guy, veteran play at the end by passing to the open man for the game winner. 3 years ago Pierce forces up that shot. Granted, PP has been pretty money in his career when it comes to big shots at the end of games, but he made the decision to pass the shot up to someone who was more open. And how about Big Baby? He is going to be commanding a pretty good sized contract after what he has done during this season Post-KG. He doesn't care, he just jacks and he has more confidence than anyone. Also, he might give the worst post games interviews. Someone has to give him the Crash Davis talk from "Bull Durham" about how to give proper answers in an interview. You are good Glen, but you aren't that fucking good.

Again, I wouldn't be surprised if on Tuesday and Thursday this week i have to prepare myself for this same kind of blog. And you know what? In no way is that depressing.

Is Anyone Else Freaked Out by Those Quizno's Commercials?


OK, so these new Quizno's commercials are probably the weirdest commercials I have ever seen, and questions need to be answered or I am going to fight someone. What is the deal with Scott and the toaster oven? Is the toaster oven a chick? Is Scott gay? Is it hinting that Quizno's wants to attract the gay demographic? Are Scott and the toaster oven an item? What the fuck?!

Listen I am in no position to talk about some major national corporations marketing plan, but I will anyway....It sucks. You guys are a fucking sub shop. You make sandwiches at a semi-reasonable price. I don't care if all your subs are toasted and you put more meat in your sandwiches than Subway. Ill take any local mom and pop sub shop any day of the week. And the sexual innuendos in these new commercials aren't doing it for me. If I want a "Torpedo" sub, do I have to be worried about male pubic hair in the sub? Because I am pretty convinced that Scott is banging the oven...and the only hole I see is where you put the sub in the toaster. I have done enough fucked up shit in my life, I don't need to add to the long and distinguished (that's what she said) list a large male pube sandwich, toasted, with lettuce, jalapenos and ranch dressing.


If anyone has answers please email us at droptreats@gmail.com or give us a response. I dont know if I can go to Quizno's until I get some answers.

When Good Treats Go Bad: A Texas Story

As a young lad whose travels had yet to take me to the real southern US (you don’t count, Florida), I had heard several rumors about the prevalence of hot girls. With that in mind, I was cautiously optimistic as I embarked on my recent trip to Texas. You regular readers of Droppin’ Treats already know that upon arrival I was not disappointed. DAMN. If you’re a single straight dude from Boston who enjoys going to bars, I highly recommend this trip. The ratio of not only girls but ATTRACTIVE girls to guys at the bar is unreal. A far cry from the sausage fests you're used to. Also, for some reason, many of the local guys there are kind of ugly…goofy-looking at best.


(This strange mismatch is nowhere more obvious than when you see couples consisting of Mr. “I wear a cowboy hat to take attention away from my messed up face” and a knockout girl who has clearly “settled” to be with him – Upset City.) So now you already have two things going in your favor and you just walked through the door…

Starting up a convo with a lady is pretty easy – in fact she may even take the initiative with something like “you’re not from around here are you?” If not, you can just go with D’s patented stare at her with a confused/disappointed look until she questions you about it, then make up a reason on the fly. Then there are plenty of good topics for discussion:


(a) You can mention you’re from Boston

“Really?! I LOVE Boston!”

“Oh yeah? When were you there last?”

“Never. But I REALLY want to go.”


…of course, there’s no way you can let that slide.


(b) You COULD follow that topic up with “Yeah, I’m just here for the weekend” in hopes that she replies ‘Want me to show you how we have fun in Texas?” This might never actually work in real life though.


(c) You can ask her what she does for work. And then explain that “technical assistant at a healthcare company” isn’t a real job.


(d) You can explain how Texas kind of blows, and how Boston/Mass is significantly better. “Yeah, we’re above Connecticut. It’s pretty lame. But at least it’s not Mexico.”



(e) Get your bro in on it. Apparently girls like the twins almost as much as guys do.


(f) You can chime in and contradict the statement “We [Texans] don’t really have an accent.” This is a pretty easy argument to win, especially when you point out that she dropped “y’all” 3 times in the last 2 sentences.


Etc. Etc. I won’t give you all the “A” material, but let’s just say I was in this situation and I was killing. Alas, as soon as you think you’re doing well something bad happens. The conversation somehow led me to casually drop the phrase “This guy’s gotta be fuckin kidding me.”

Oops.

Apparently Texas girls don’t like profanity.


It was like somebody yanked the needle off the record. She went from smiling and giggling to frowning and saying “We don’t talk like that around here”. Between that and a poorly-timed bathroom break, this chick was now not interested at all - the opportunity was lost forever.


If you find yourself with similar devastating results, you could talk to her unattractive friend to see if it will lift your spirits. But as soon as she says “Too bad the bar is closing…do you have any booze back at your brother’s place?” cut your losses and get the hell outta there.


During the postgame analysis, Mark – older brother, fellow bar patron, and fan of “The Pickup Artist” on VH1 – claimed that my failure earlier in the night could probably also be attributed to excessive “negging”…or, in layman’s terms, “being a prick.” In retrospect he’s probably correct. But, at this moment in time, I have no interest in changing my ways.



As Ice Cube’s dad says in the movie FRIDAY – “You win some, you lose some. But you live to Drop Treats another day.”
