Just four days after his return to Boston, Celtics.com has reported that Wally Szczerbiak is scheduled to undergo season ending ankle surgery on Thursday March 8, 2007 with the ever busy Dr. Brian McKeon. Doc McKeon has performed more surgeries this season than Doc Rivers has had line-ups, well almost.

(”And then I jumped real high, like two whole feet, and I put a sticker with my face on it….No, it’s not lame it’s cool… It is… Aw what do you know.”)

I’ve never seen a bigger display of being a sore loser than Dwight Howard, who is still bitching about his third place finish in the slam dunk contest.
According to the Orlando Sentinel the 6′ 11″ cry baby is still crying about his absolutely retarded sticker dunk. File this one under “shut the hell up.” Shouldn’t this guy be more worried about his fading playoff hopes. And also, who is this guy to questiont two of the greatest dunkers of all time. If they didn’t like it, they didn’t like it.

“…Aaron Goodwin, Dwight Howard’s agent, still is peeved about how Howard’s “sticker slam” was overlooked in the slam-dunk contest. “Not only did I alert the NBA about the dunks that Dwight was going to do, I also alerted them of the order. It was the arrogance of the judges,” Goodwin said. “The good thing is, it’s the most-talked about dunk of recent years. Clearly, it was a 50.”

Howard said he was leaning toward never competing in the event again, but Goodwin hopes Howard will change his mind…”

There was a night, long ago, cocktails at the Soho Grand - Charles, a dear friend of the Dojo Perk, found one of us fed on straight bourbon and In-Law fear, and threw us up on stage because we looked the part of the Rhetorician (Chuck did see us more the Rozencrantz and less the Orcino) and a Rhetorician is what the evening needed?!? Of course ,a play within a play - Pirendello and The Old Balls - Charles, We’re Watching You and We Know We Taught You Everything You Know - Fuck Whatever that Kit Roane guy says…

Here’s Chuckie!!!
