How Sucky is Boston?

So, you're a Boston Celtics fan and your team was on the wrong end of a 20-point beat down last night at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies. What's the most appropriate reaction? Well, if you're like any Boston fan, you boo your team off the floor. "It surprises me," said Paul Pierce, who has played on some pretty bad teams in the past.

Not Panning Out

Things aren't looking good for Brady Quinn in Cleveland. The former first-round draft pick out of Notre Dame hasn't done well at all with the Browns and it looks like he's not going to get any more chances.

The Browns added longtime Seattle Seahawks quarterback Seneca Wallace earlier this week and are now rumored to be looking to add the newly-unemployed Jake Delhomme, who was cut from the Carolina Panthers earlier this week. Considering that Derek Anderson - the other quarterback in Cleveland -was released (gladly) recently, Quinn looks to be the odd man out.

But where could he possibly go?

Dan Rather writes about 'watermelons' remark: 'I had no idea what Twitter was'

Over the weekend, veteran newsman Dan Rather appeared on Chris Matthew's talk show to opine about President Barack Obama's efforts to sell health care reform to the American public.

Rather explains on The Huffington Post today that a frenzied approach to online media helped turn the small gaffe into a major story: "I must confess that until recently I had no idea what Twitter was. Even now, I'm not completely sure how it's best used."
