Whether you were on Team Rebuild or Team Playoffs regarding this year's Celtics team, there is no denying that they are in an extremely favorable position for the future. After they inevitably win it all this year, free agents are finally going to come in flocks just so they can suit up for Savior Stevens. The team is loaded with young talent, and also owns the rights to the Brooklyn Nets future. With Brook Lopez potentially opting out and becoming a free agent this offseason, the Nets unprotected first rounders from 2016-18 could easily be in the top-5. What a time to be in Green.

We're coming for you LeBron.

Silas Nacita, Once-Homeless, Declared Ineligible by NCAA

From SI.com

I know I might be in the minority here, but I think the NCAA nailed this decision. How dare this kid simultaneously pursue his dreams of playing high-level Division 1 football and putting a roof over his head! Kids these days! Baylor Football is probably relieved they no longer have to deal with this headache of a student-athlete. He was setting terrible examples for NCAA athletes everywhere by desiring a place to live, food to eat, and much needed financial support. Tip of the cap to you, Mark Emmert.

4/8/15 ABPM Post of the Day

Anybody that doesn't remember Turk's necklaces is clearly not a fan of America's pastime. Although his on and off the field antics may have made baseball purists cringe, it made fans like myself huge fans of guys like him. Why would Wendell offer to play for $0? It's because he is the ultimate team player. He had goals of having one title ring for every shark tooth on his necklace. Did that happen? Of course not, but gosh darn he tried.

Average Baseball Player Month Post of the Day

I wouldn't wish a trip to Prestige Auto-Mart in New Bedford, MA on my worst enemy, so the little tidbit about Mr. Clayton was quite possibly the rudest thing I've ever read. Also, if one were to leave 7 pegs on the board in the triangle game at C-Barrel they should be banned from that fantastic establishment for life. Well done Matt and if Royce were to read this, there is no doubt he would try to give you a swirly.

Average Baseball Players Month

What is Average Baseball Players Month (ABPM) you ask? Glad you asked my friend. ABPM is the time of year (April to be exact) where we dust off our collection of 2003 Topps Baseball Cards and reflect on the Ghosts of Sacrifice Flies Past. Instead of honoring superstars that put up gaudy numbers like Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout, we show appreciation to players that did the dirty work. Whether that was making a tough play up the middle like Pokey Reese or moving the runner over to second with a bunt like David DeJesus, those were the types of plays that made us gush over at ABPM. To give you a taste of what you would be dealing with, here's the Post of the Day from April 2nd.

Consider me rattled that I didn't know about Brian "Banjo-Kazooie" Bannister had a father that played in the bigs. You learn something new everyday during ABPM!
