Today’s Big Baby Davis Quotation

aaron cohen — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 13:35:50 +0000

I just want to make sure I’m Glen Davis wherever I’m at. I think I can be Glen Davis wherever. It just depends on the system, the people around the system, who’s going to let Glen Davis be Glen Davis, not make Glen Davis something they think he should be.

From a column by the terrible Dan Shaughnessy.

Big Baby Davis Rap Video

If you thought I wouldn't post a video Big Baby Davis made of himself dancing to a rap song, you don't know me at all. AT ALL.

Thanks, Jake!

Sheed Just Wants to Talk

Didn't see a whole lot of crazy from Rasheed Wallace this year. He actually didn't do much of anything until the playoffs. After they were over, he wanted to talk to referee Joey Crawford. Anyone know more?

Succes is a Choice

aaron cohen — Tue, 19 May 2009 16:00:23 +0000

Why choose failure? Last week's mention of Rick Pitino made me giggle about this quotation and then I couldn't help but post it:

Larry Bird is not walking through that door, fans. Kevin McHale is not walking through that door, and Robert Parish is not walking through that door. And if you expect them to walk through that door, they're going to be gray and old. What we are is young, exciting, hard-working, and we're going to improve. People don't realize that, and as soon as they realize those three guys are not coming through that door, the better this town will be for all of us because there are young guys in that (locker) room playing their asses off. I wish we had $90 million under the salary cap. I wish we could buy the world. We can't; the only thing we can do is work hard, and all the negativity that's in this town sucks. I've been around when Jim Rice was booed. I've been around when Yastrzemski was booed. And it stinks. It makes the greatest town, greatest city in the world, lousy. The only thing that will turn this around is being upbeat and positive like we are in that locker room... and if you think I'm going to succumb to negativity, you're wrong. You've got the wrong guy leading this team.

--Rick Pitino

AC’s Year in Review

aaron cohen — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 06:44:02 +0000

It was a good year on Unlikely Words. In case you missed some or all of it, I went through the year and pulled out a few links to my favorite posts. Favorite is loose here and applies to something either I wrote or really enjoyed on the internets. What did you like this year?

In no real order...

A horse statue was vandalized in Saratoga Springs, Billy Ripken and Ken Griffey reminded me of how I spent the second half of the eighties and one summer after Sophomore year of college and Guns n' Roses released an album leading to me telling 2 stories of my younger days.

I documented 12 cities that banned plastic bags, as well as the the 2008 Election and was PSYCHED this got linked by Kottke and Wonkette. Bill Simmons listed his favorite sports journalism and I found links to almost all of them as tons and tons of musicians told John McCain "Don’t Play My Song! and I compiled a list. I was hoping this would catch on, but, alas...

A seafood truck crashed in Worcester. Someone rented a refrigerated truck and the lobsters were sold all over town. Until they were discovered, seized and...dumped back into Boston Harbor, which seems like it could only happen in Worcester, the Paris of the Eighties.

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks was my favorite book this year, Mad Men Season 1 my favorite TV show, and Eastern Promises my favorite movie. However, my favorite movie to talk about was the utterly horrible Unknown. It's not unwatchable, though.

"Dodgers touch Colon for run in fourth" was my favorite headline of the year, while seeing Sir Ben Kingsley as Ian MacKaye was my favorite video. The Barack Brains T Shirt (Bad Brains logo/Barack) tied the Cry Celtic Green T-Shirt for garment of the year. And I got an iPhone.

A hawk attacked a girl at Fenway Park and I introduced the world to cold cut flavored jelly beans, which surprisingly elicited a prompt reaction from the inventor of Jelly Belly (see the comments). I continued hating sharks while Pat Matheny continued to hate Kenny G's "Lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, fucked up playing.”

Eliot Spitzer banged a prostitute and I was there to flow chart it. I also created a recipe to make Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice cream at home, watched my street flood, enjoyed this article about getting stuck in an elevator, and found out BJ Upton's BJ stands for Bossman Junior, which is just awesome.

And finally, my favorite picture of the year:

Happy New Year everyone, thanks for reading and see you next year.

Big Baby Davis Car Crash

Big Baby Davis was in a minor car accident today on the Mass Pike, and I am resisting as hard as I can making a crying joke. ###Possibly related posts:Funny Pictures of Big Baby Davis Today’s Big Baby Davis Quotation Big Baby Davis reacting to “Dunks of the Week” ### Possibly related posts:

Cry Celtic Green T-Shirt

aaron cohen — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 20:57:28 +0000

After my post last week about Big Baby Davis crying, the fine fellows at Perk is a Beast jumped into action to make a "Cry Celtic Green" T-Shirt. Apparently the Stern mafia is on their ass so if you want one, get it soon. (This is a play on Bleed Cubbie Blue in case it's not clear.)

Big Baby Davis Cries Celtic Green

aaron cohen — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 13:14:14 +0000

Big Baby Davis isn’t afraid to cry and I, for one, thinks this reinforces the aura surrounding my favorite basketball player. Do you think I could get a green t-shirt that says "Cry Celtic Green" on the front and "Davis 11" on the back (like the back of a jersey)?

Richard ‘Rip’ Hamilton’s Fingernails

aaron cohen — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 16:57:46 +0000

This is kind of weird. Maybe that's why they call him Rip?

Celtics guard Ray Allen joined Michael Jordan and several other NBA stars, including Rip Hamilton, in Las Vegas before training camp to take part in promotional work for Jordan's Jumpman brand. Allen said he talked to Hamilton about his fingernails, which prompted Allen to wear an arm sleeve against the Pistons in the playoffs last season. "He was saying how when he saw me come out the next game with an arm sleeve on, they started laughing about it," said Allen. "And then I said, 'Look, man, I'm wearing an arm sleeve because . . .' And then I picked his hand up and looked at his nails. And his nails were way out. He said, 'Man, I didn't know I cut people up like that. People tell me all the time that I need to cut my nails, but I don't know what I'm doing.' I told him, 'Come on, dog, you know why you're using them.' "
