If he really wants it, no one on that list can compete.
However, I do not trust that sneaky John Henry.

FSG would be a total f***ing disaster.
Can't believe that's where we're at with them.

Neither can I. I just hope that they don't pull some bts bullshit because I can see it happening.
FSG is the worse case scenario here.

Just a quick heads up - Jayson Tatum is scheduled to be a guest on The Tonight Show Wednesday night.

So what exactly do the Celtics OWN in 2024 besides their trademark? Not much
They pay NO RENT to Jacobs. They used to own their training facility in Waltham but now have the same deal the Bruins have in Brighton with New Balance.
The previous owner Gaston owned both Channel 25 and WEEI for several years.
Enter Wynn Boston Encore who would love to build a new arena adjacent to the casino and they have the land. The liability is the Mayor of Everett looks like a character from Goodfellas, @EverettMike am I wrong?
Delaware North doesn't appear to be interested in buying the Celtics.

I believe they own 20% of NBC Sports Boston. So, what it's going to be in Everett, the Celtics or the Revolution? I remember the exact day I last visited Everett: Super Bowl 33, because one of my hockey teammates lived there and had a party. Took the 109 bus.
So the Celtics still pay no rent, hmmm. I know the first ten years were rent free(when the team was a basket case, no pun intended). My initial thought was that FSG would buy 80% of whatever stake is for sale and bring in Delaware North for the other 20%(like NESN!). I'm no avid hoop watcher(I watched the Calder Cup more than the NBA finals), but man, that payroll...

He gave Wynn the most sweetheart host agreement in history and people are catching on how he royally f***ed us over with the casino. Everett gets half of what it should.

At the risk of upsetting @EverettMike, there's enough land along Lower Broadway that's either already owned by Wynn or is coming up for sale that it could be both.

I'd rather them nuke the entire f***ing city so at least I'd know peace.

Coward hitting someone in the back of the head. Could kill someone. What a prick.
Glad Derrick didn't take no shit
No way Jacobs buys into a 80 million cash burn franchise with no real assets. That is bad business and not his thing.

I'm not a fan of tattoos in general but those ones are particularly cringe

It's bad now but it's going to be really fugly when he becomes a senior citizen and things start getting droopy and moving around. It might look like he's kissing that shoe at some point in the future.
I don’t mind it, seems like his back is his life story (childhood home, little kid playing basketball, a dog, his street, etc)
The tattoos are...what they are lmao
But it's his life story. You see the Olympic medal too. I'm just waiting to see what he named his daughter. I assume it'll go on his other arm.

Where is his tattoo of Kobe? He has to have one maybe on one of his butt cheeks?

Nice story by Ramona Shelburne ( ESPN ) about what how the Celtics spent their summer getting ready to defend their NBA Championship.

Why the Boston Celtics' championship honeymoon lasted just 12 days
It was supposed to be a summerlong celebration for the Celtics, but it abruptly ended in less than two weeks. Inside a drama-filled summer for the 2024 NBA champions, and what comes next.
