Today while with The Mrs near the Trinity Church in Boston, a group of four men walked by us on Boylston Street. At first I was more taken aback by seeing a group of people that tall (the two in the middle looked to both be about 7 feet tall) than trying to figure out who they were...but once I took a closer look a realized it was none other than Pau Gasol of the LA Lakers. He was accompanied by 3 other men, whom I believe were teammates Vladimir Radmonovic, Sasha Vujacic and an unidentified fourth. A million thoughts of great things to do/say/yell came into my mind, but it was clearly sensory overload. Finally I screamed out "You're going down Gasol". Oddly enough nobody else on Boylston Street seemed to be giving the group a second look...or even look over at me when I screamed at them. The only two people who seemed to notice were Radmonovic, who half-turned and chuckled, and The Mrs, who seemed ready to file for divorce due to "extreme embarrassment". But if Vlad heard me then Pau did too, and I am proud that I was able to do my part, however little it may have been, in helping give the C's a true home advantage. It wasn't great, but at least it was something...and not something profanity-laced that would make Boston the city look bad either. Just a loud obnoxious prediction/promise from a real Boston sports fan. So what would you have done?

Nice... Put him in a Body Bag!
P.S. Daniel Lorusso is gonna fight?
DANIEL LORUSSO IS GONNA FIGHT!
I would have asked him if he knew why DK was near a church.
Hey DK, how is the back after the Mrs. Had you sleeping on the couch for that outburst? Dont worry, we'll get a fund going for you chiropractor bills. It was great! Go Celts!
The funniest part about having the Mrs there with me was that after I yelled at Gasol I turned around looking for a high five but she was alredy walking away from me as if she didn't know me.
So if anyone did witness this I was the guy who screamed at the 7-foot tall guy and then got left hanging by my wife. Still worth it!
By the look of the picture Pau was going to church praying for a bag of heroin.
Thank you DK for making the visiting team feel welcome in Boston.
Hope you didn't get the couch for that. If any one deserved the couch it would be the Mrs for leaving you hanging, especially in public.
No sleeping on the couch for me. Although the Mrs embarrasses easily she fortunately gets over it just as quickly.
I definitely would have made a snowboard joke of Radmanovic for this entry I found in Wikipedia:
"On February 18 2007, Radmanović told the Lakers that he had separated his shoulder, when he fell on a patch of ice in Park City, Utah the day before, during the weekend of the 2007 NBA All-Star Game and would be out approximately eight weeks.
However, on February 23 2007, Radmanović revealed that he had actually hurt himself in a fall while snowboarding.Radmanović's Lakers contract banned him from taking part in activities that involve significant risk of injury, including skiing and snowboarding.An NBA league source said that voiding the contract would be extremely unlikely, with a suspension or fine more likely. This proved to be true, as he was fined $500,000.
Where were you when I needed you JBS? You could have burned Vlad AND I would have gotten a high-five out of it.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't at church
DK - You could have told Pau that you found the L he lost in his fist name and the C's would give him another L last night.
You also could have told him George Michael called and asked for his beard back.
You're going down? I think you had better one's on the Heath School playground when you were 8 years old.
The Mrs had every right to be embarassed. Even Walpole Joe would have fared better than that. Why didn't you call him a tall drink of water or ask him how the weather is up there?
I already admitted it wasn't my best work...
Any suggestions out of you PB?
"Hey Pau, the Jerk Store called and they're all out of you!" Nice one Costanza!
Sadly Constanza may have had a better one than I did.
