Share this: Brian Scalabrine didn’t see the court much during his time with the Boston Celtics, but that didn’t stop him from becoming a fan favorite. Scalabrine, who now works as an NBA analyst for CSNNE, decided to spice up his sideline reporting by donning a hilarious neon-green jacket. This wasn’t just any neon-green jacket, though, as it was custom-made to honor Scalabrine and covered with pictures of his face. Despite the jacket being made in Scalabrine’s honor, it’s hilariously ironic that the fan misspelled the 11-year NBA veteran’s last name. If you’re Scalabrine, you have to appreciate the love from the fans, even when they misprint your surname.

Tom Brady’s Father Sounds Off On Roger Goodell For Role In Deflategate
Share this: Leading up to Super Bowl LI, Tom Brady has elected not to comment on Roger Goodell, but the same can’t be said for Brady’s father. As a result of the NFL’s handling of the Deflategate saga, Tom Brady Sr. is clearly not a fan of the NFL commissioner, as he expressed in an interview with KRON 4 in San Francisco. “For what the league did to him (Tom Brady) and what Roger Goodell constantly lied about is beyond reprehensible as far as I’m concerned,” Brady Sr. told KRON 4. Brady Sr. didn’t stop there. The father of the New England Patriots quarterback believes his son was the victim of an unfounded investigation led by Goodell. “He (Goodell) went on a witch hunt and

Vin Scully, Dodgers Honor David Ortiz With Touching Video Tribute
Share this: David Ortiz already has received plenty of recognition from various Major League Baseball teams during his final season, but the club he visited Friday has something no one else has: Vin Scully. The legendary Los Angeles Dodgers announcer took the reins when Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox came to town for a three-game series, honoring the slugger with an awesome video tribute that recalled Ortiz’s childhood in the Dominican Republic and his contributions to the Red Sox. Ortiz also was joined on the field by former teammates Nomar Garciaparra, Adrian Gonzalez and Dave Roberts, who presented him with a $10,000 check to the David Ortiz Children’s Fund. It’s going to be hard for other teams to top that without Scully’s voice. Thumbnail photo
Guy Fieri Wants To Make ‘Tom Brady Sandwich’ To Honor Patriots QB
Guy Fieri is a self-proclaimed Oakland Raiders fan, but apparently his favorite quarterback doesn’t wear silver and black. The “Food Network” personality and restaurant owner recently joined USA TODAY’s For the Win for an NFL-themed Q&A session. Fieri was grilled on a wide range of topics, from his thoughts on NFL team cocktails (Fireball and apple juice for the Seattle Seahawks) to who could pull off his signature hair look (Jon Gruden). Fieri’s most interesting response, though, came when he was asked what sandwich he would make to honor an NFL player. “The Tom Brady sandwich would be a prosciutto with a nice Buffalo mozzarella, on a crispy baguette with a little fresh basil,” Fieri
