This and That

I'm giddy with excitement right now. I was sitting in the hotel flipping through channels and ESPN Classic is showing old AWA wrestling. Sure, that's cool in its self. But what makes it the coolest is that Marty Jannetty and the late Curt Hennig are the Tag Team Champions of the World!

To be totally honest, the AWA was before my time, but all of the guys I've seen wrestle went on to have some type of career in the WWF and WCW. Ah, nostalgia.

In other news, the Celtics clinched the Atlantic Division! Wow, that's two exclamation points in one article. Anyway, they clinched without winning. This is the beginning of an incredibly tough stretch that includes games against Utah, Dallas, San Antonio and New Orleans. At this juncture of the season, it doesn't even matter if the team loses every game, because the division is clinched and barring a complete tank job, the No. 1 seed in the East is all but assured.

Even better than clinching the Atlantic is that they C's wore those freakin' sweet green and gold St. Patrick's Day unis. I love these uniforms and wish they would wear them instead of the green and black they've recently adopted.

Speaking of green and St. Patrick's Day, is it any coincidence that the Lakers ice hockey team, wearing all green uniforms and staying in the hotel that serves as the de facto central spot of Rochester's big St. Patrick's Day parade on Saturday, is putting together quite a run through the playoffs? I think not. I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think their is also something Irish involved with the founding of Mercyhurst College. Hey, we play top-seeded Army tomorrow. We need all the the luck of the Irish.

By the way, I don't usually like to talk about politics because it does nothing but starts a fight, but I will say that Obama is in deep doodo now that the media has uncovered his close relationship with his pastor and how out-there his pastor is. Go republicans! (Three exclamation points in one blog. Three too many.)
