Celtics Turn Down The Heat
March 30th, 2008 by Steve · Comments Off ·
The Boston Celtics continued their march towards the NBA playoffs with a lopsided 88-62 win over the Miami Heat at the TD BankNorth Garden on Sunday night.

Â
Fans of the UConn Women’s basketball team know all about Brittany Hunter. We know that she wanted to come to UConn from the beginning but pressure from her parents made her choose Duke.  They felt a degree that carried the Duke name on it would mean more in her future than one that said the University [...]

Is it strange to you that after playing two regular season games in Japan, the Red Sox are back on U.S. soil to play three exhibition games? It must be to the players who got amped up and now will have no pressure.
Well some of the bullpen guys might have some pressure as the Red [...]
