Quote of the Week

I don't really know what day it is any more, so I tend to forget to post things like "Quote of the Week" and "Clip of the Week" on their pre-determined days. Although let's be honest, I always forgot to do that, baby or not. At any rate, while we all really don't care about the NBA, I do still love Kevin Garnett.

This is why: angered about the condensed training camp schedule that the lockout (and Commissioner David Stern's insistence on opening the season on Christmas Day, with the Celtics tipping things off at noon) made necessary, Garnett dropped this gem...

This week's QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"Timing is everything. Chemistry is something that you don't just throw in the frying pan and mix it up with another something, then throw it on top of something, then fry it up and put it in a tortilla and put in a microwave, heat it up and give it to you and expect it to taste good. You know? For those of you who can cook, y'all know what I'm talking about. If y'all can't cook, this doesn't concern you."
                       - Celtics forward Kevin Garnett

I... what in the... what? Whatever. Garnett isn't the first sports figure to make a weird food reference this week, nor is he the first Boston sports figure to use a cooking metaphor to express his anger. But he does win some points for his efforts... because chemistry is not a chimichanga. Or something.

Quote of the Week

It's Tuesday, which means it's time for "Quote of the Week". And yeah, this one's really more of an excuse to post a video clip than anything else, but whatever...I used up my good quote on Friday. So at any rate, this quote/clip comes from yesterday's Celtics media day, kicking off the beginning of what should be an interesting NBA season (no, I haven't gotten over how the last one ended yet).

This week's QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"How does he have that much energy? And we're not even playing, it's like... it's media day"

I love Kevin Garnett. The guy's just completely insane. It's hard not to like a guy who takes everything he does as seriously as KG does. Every year I want to stop watching the NBA (really, I do), but as long as KG's around, I'm pretty sure I'll be watching.
