So last night I was at a media event and Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo where there amongst other people, hence why I was there. Kevin Garnett couldn’t have been nicer, he was totally down. However, I am VERY VERY disappointed with Rajon Rondo who was a total dbag to me. I first went up to him and tried to introduce myself as a Celtics fan and he blew me off. Fine, whateves, it’s a party. Then later when he was standing alone off to the side, I approached him again and asked if I could get a photo with him. He reluctantly agreed and then when I took my phone out of my pocket to take the picture he refused, saying “NO camera phones,” and then turned his back on me. It wasn’t like I was trying to take a video of him nailing 6 hookers or something, I just wanted a picture of me and him. Needless to say I am GREATLY disappointed. First off, Rondo was barely bigger than I am, and I ain’t the biggest tree in the forest, and second, BE NICE TO THE FANS! Especially since I used to be a minority owner of the Celtics. I once was VERY very tertiarily involved in the paying of salaries! So, here’s the worst camera phone picture of Rondo that I got last night. This one DEFINITELY makes him look like an alien.

Rajon Rondo Wasn’t Very Friendly
Sports reporters often ask stupid question to coaches, fortunately Celtic manager Gordon Strachan has a bit of wit about him and is able to make some fun out of their asinine questions. Check out some of these one-liners that The Sun assembled for us:
Reporter: “Gordon, can we have a quick word please?”
Strachan: “Velocity.”
Reporter: “Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it?”
Strachan: “No, I’m going to crumble like a wreck. I’ll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe jump off a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah.”
Reporter: “There’s no negative vibes or negative feelings here?”
Strachan: “Apart from yourself, we’re all quite positive round here. I’m going to whack you over the head with a big stick — down, negative man, down.”
Reporter: “Gordon, do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad?”
Strachan: “I don’t care, I’m Scottish.”
Reporter: “Gordon, if you were English?”
Strachan: “I’d top myself.”
Strachan after a defeat: “I tried to get the disappointment out of my system by going for a walk.
“I ended up 17 miles from home and I had to phone my wife Lesley to come and pick me up.”
Reporter: “Welcome to Southampton. Do you think you are the right man to turn things around?”
Strachan: “No. I was asked if I thought I was the right man for the job and I said, ‘No, I think they should have got George Graham because I’m useless.’ ”
Strachan on Wayne Rooney: “It’s an incredible rise to stardom.
“At 17 you’re more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than Sven Goran Eriksson.”
Reporter: “You must be delighted with the result?”
Strachan: “You’re spot on! You can read me like a book.”
Reporter: “So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?”
Strachan: “What areas? Mainly that big green one out there.”
