Shaq to Celtics

[The X]

Big Green, a la Yohance.

I actually think this would work

[air gordon]

the big sideshow

[Killer Crossover aka OG]

I can only think of Gay Payton

By the Way I think he is really a Gary aka Gay Payton

[mynameisgerd]

The Big Leprechaun is good as well.

[Andrew]

the big sideshow

Perhaps the most appropriate, at this stage of his career.

[Murat]

The Big Shamrock. I prefer this one.

[Bucket]

The Big Shamrock is better than The Big Sideshow

anyone else catch Bill Simmon's latest take on this?

Shaq signs with Celts...

nice little bit on Jennifer Aniston

[Andrew]

Great read, I'd say he's spot on about Shaq, Aniston and Dolan. I don't follow baseball so that one goes over my head.

I don't follow baseball so that one goes over my head.

It's like Epic Beard Man. An old guy (Ryan, 46 years old) beating up a younger guy who wanted trouble.

I like how you didn't link to the article itself but a blog that links to the article. How much is Chris Forsberg paying you to drive hits to his blog?

[supercoolBeas]

I would say "The Big Minimum" is about right.

[air gordon]

chalk it up to laziness. who's c forsberg lol

not to get OT but Anniston is a butter face

[Andrew]

I'd disagree but Your Mileage May Vary, as they say on TV Tropes.

[Jeffx]

WFAN reported Delonte West is going to the Celtics.

[Andrew]

Now official.

Shaq posed as a statue for about an hour.

Shaquille O'Neal utilized the Boston Celtics' final preseason off-day to invade Harvard Square, where he posed as a statue and allowed fans to snap photos with him for nearly an hour Thursday afternoon.

Fans immediately encircled him and, despite the jostling for position to take pictures next to him, O'Neal simply clasped his hands together and remained stoic as fans shuttled in and out around him. O'Neal couldn't help but smile at times, but didn't budge until he stood up to leave.

"The idea of the Shaq statue originated from watching TV one day," Shaq told ESPN. "I was watching the royal British guards. If you know anything about those guys they have tremendous discipline. The other idea is I always wanted to tell people I went to Harvard."

Missing were his teammates, who could only shake their heads when informed of O'Neal's plan earlier this month.

"What's he going to do?" asked Celtics captain Paul Pierce. "He's just going to sit there? Somebody get a picture of that and tweet it."

It's likely that thousands did. Camera phones were snapping away nonstop during O'Neal's visit.

When Kevin Garnett was asked if he'd come out for the festivities, he playfully scoffed at the idea.

"Absolutely not," said Garnett. "I will not be taking pictures of Shaq with bird [expletive] and all types of other people taking pictures. I'm cool. I see him in here; I'll take my pictures around here."

Love the KG comment.

[Axel The Great]

Yeah, the KG comment's funny. I can't keep still for 10 seconds, so this is a huge accomplishment imo for Shaq.

[Andrew]

Shaq sitting on his ass doing little of consequence. A worrying omen for Celtics fans.

[benji]

I don't know about that, no matter how out of shape he is he still has six fouls and a large body when it's time to spell Perkins in the playoffs against the Magic.

And apparently he's getting along wonderfully with everyone on the team. See the Nate Robinson phone videos.

I think he wants a shot at Kobe.

[JaoSming]

I think he wants a shot at Kobe.

I think he wants a shot at LeBron
