enough already, get over it.

with the red sox done for the year and the Patriots just coasting along without too much excitement in the backfield, it was only natural for the boston media to feast upon the Celtics as the NBA season gets ready to jumpoff. But really though. For one, there are few things I hate. Among them are sports articles about that don't actually talk about sports. You know, the one where it reads more like a crime log or police blotter as opposed to a game preview or recap. If the dude told you what he did, can we just leave it at that. I mean seriously, there are enough athletes (and coaches) out there that are wilding out, riding dirty, and just doing some plain ole dumb shT. But son gets robbed, and you wanna say let's hope he did what he said he did. Burn him at the stake, why don't you?! He's not even the bad guy on the team. Holla at Tony Allen for that.

speaking of crying wolf, the new police commissioer was quoted as saying prevention is the top priority. methinks we may have found someone with a bit of common sense up in this piece, which will be a good thing hopefully. i still think paul joyce would have been a good choice, because brinigng in an outsider does have its drawbacks. especially someon from a town and force much smaller than ours. but the truth is in the pudding. as long as he can be a stron leader with a thoughfully articulated vision and plan of action to achieve goals and prevent crime, then i'm all for it.

On the new comish: I'm with you. I was thinking the same thing re: "common sense" when I was listening to him talk about improving community relations, expanding the force and working with the residents and trying to break down the barriers of community resentment, etc. We shall see.
