Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big story line. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
Because a second and a half of these guys trying to rap a hook wasn’t enough… the Boston Celtics released the full 40 seconds of Danny Ainge, Isaiah Thomas, and Gerald Green goofing around trying to get the hook right.
Did you see Danny, IT and Gerald’s cameo in @jamesthemormon‘s rap vid? This? This is even better. pic.twitter.com/zAv3NEPLwc

As you can see… there wasn’t a 100% success rate…. but at least they had fun with it. It’s an oddly mesmerizing 40 seconds worth of video. And Ainge certainly had some fun with it.
I guess I missed my calling as a rapper😃 @geraldgreen25 and @Isaiah_Thomas 🍀🍀picked up some new fans #GoCougs https://t.co/Jg98KcDzcP

Page 2: A Bills writer trashes the Celtics
With Bruce Smith’s No. 78 joining Jim Kelly’s No. 12 as the only jerseys officially retired by the Buffalo Bills, we wonder what other numbers will be taken out of circulation. Faithful readers of this column are familiar with my rants on retired jerseys and how the Boston Celtics (22 jersey retirements) and New York Yankees (21) have made a mockery of what should be the rarest of honors.
Funny, I think Bills fans would love to root for a team where two dozen players were so damn good, they deserved such an honor. Instead, they root for the Bills.
It’s easy to ride the high horse about retired numbers when you don’t have more than five guys who deserve it. As far as I’m concerned, this argument misses wide right.
