Celtics' Sullinger will miss rest of season
BOSTON (AP) -- For the second time in less than a week, Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers had to tell his team that they would be without a key contributor for the remainder of the season.
The Celtics announced Friday that first-round draft choice Jared Sullinger underwent successful lumbar disk surgery and will miss the rest of the season. He is expected to be ready in time for next season's training camp.
"He was playing great," Rivers said. "I think the good news is we know he can play and we know he will be a very good player. In the long run, this will make him healthier."
The announcement came five days after All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo was diagnosed with a torn ACL that will keep him out for the rest of the season.

Rough year in Boston. First the Roid Sox finish with a far worse record than the Pirates, then the Cheatriots lose to the Ravens, and now this.

Go Celtics! 
Even the sports stations here in DC don't talk about the Wizards (or the Capitals for that matter).
Now, I'm not disregarding all of the people who lost income when the NHL owners and players were engaged in their petty little lockout showdown. But purely from a hockey sense, is it possible that all of the labor melodrama actually benefited the Bruins in a meaningful way?
A league-high 12 of their players went overseas, giving them somewhat of a conditioning advantage. The core of their championship team from two years ago is still intact, so perhaps training camp isn't as essential to them as it is to teams with considerable roster turnover. They have tremendous depth and should be able to navigate the condensed schedule with relative ease. Nathan Horton got extra time to make sure the clouds had gone away.
And how about that fortunate timing, essentially beginning their season as the Patriots were fading out? I think that went a long way toward limiting the potential lockout backlash, almost as if Boston fans realized, "Wait, how fortunate are we to be going from one championship contender right into the season of another?" OK, maybe it didn't quite work that way. You guys just can't resist hockey.
Next season of serious contention: We're five games into it. Thank goodness they came back.

There's always a New England team in the hunt somewhere....
I wish Forkboy was still around, though I guess he is now pal-ing around with Tonya Harding!!!
That's like comparing soccer with football. 
There are a few old characters that are missed around here. Used to be more of a free fire zone when I got here in '06. 
Forkboy, BossHOG, cboy4, nomad1776...
Everyone knows real sports are won on the field of play or by empirical data. Figure skating is more like American Idol, without the witty judge banter. 
BTW, Hockey is figure skating without the teeth!!
Who knew? 
I thought they just did Icecapades in non-Olympic years. 
According to joeybee12 they figure skate year round (unlike hockey) and have competitions all the time. I think he is a referee of figure skating!

Still more of a sport than figure skating!
