(Yahoo!Sports/Getty Images)Last night the NBA season officially ended with the
BOSTON CELTICS winning the title in 6 games over the
LOS ANGELES LAKERS; Their first title since 1987. This team more or less dominated the regular season and as a result, claimed the championship of professional basketball. A feat well done, accolades well deserved.
Now that basketball season is officially done for the summer, you have to step back a moment and take a look at the
city of Boston and what they've accomplished sports-wise over the past year:
MLB World Series Champions: BOSTON RED SOXNFL Super Bowl Runner-Up: NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTSNBA Basketball Championship: BOSTON CELTICSThe proof is there in front of your face. It's not very often where you'll find one city that is the home of so many championship teams in one year. Now the pressure falls on the Boston Bruins to step up and keep the legacy going. And the way things have been going for the City of Boston, you may have to place a bet on that team to do just that.
Kudos to the
Celtics on a job well done.
EURO '08 results:The League of Death produced the drama that everyone anticipated and when the dust finally settled, we found
ITALY as the lucky team to emerge out of Group C with the
NETHERLANDS to advance to the knockout round of eight.
With one more Group to play out (Group D), the stakes go higher as we find ourselves down to eight teams. After Wednesday's matches, we are headed to the
"Knockout" round where it's
ONE and DONE. It's quite simple now: Win and you move on- lose.... and it's "thanks for stopping by". The matchups are more or less set (aside from deciding the runner-up of Group D). They are:
Thursday June 19: PORTUGAL vs GERMANY
Friday, June 20: CROATIA vs TURKEY
Saturday, June 21: NETHERLANDS vs Runner-up,
Group D Sunday, June 22: SPAIN vs ITALY All matches begin at 2:45pm.LADIES NIGHT tonight!!! ($3.00 Mixed Well Drinks for all ladies, $5.00 Cosmos/Appletinis, $1.00 off ALL imported beers)!!!Speaking of ladies, I want to take a moment to introduce the room to a trio of cool neighborhood chicks:
THE BECKERMANS.
If you live or have extensive access to Murray Hill, then you've definitely seen the BECKERMANS
(l-r, Chloe, Callieanne and Samantha) around. They are usually seen together, walking their cute little dogs and almost always with a smile on their faces.
I remember when I first encountered them, I would always ask myself, "
What is their deal????". I'd always seem them walking around the neighborhood throughout the day with their dogs and they would always say hi and go on about their business. Now I pride myself on knowing who my neighbors are and for the life of me I couldn't figure them out and it drove me nuts.
One day, I was on the toilet, reading a copy of
Time Out New York. Flipping through the pages I come across a fairly large fashion article and I see a picture of them. At first I did a double-take as I wasn't quite sure if I was looking at the same girls. As it turns out, it was indeed them. So these girls were in the fashion industry and pretty well-established to boot. I couldn't help but to get a chuckle out of it. It simply goes to show that you never know who lives around you.
That being said, I checked out their site (
BECKERMANS.COM) and it's pretty extensive as far as offerings go and pretty cool (if you are a female). I'm pretty impressed with what they've done with their careers thus far and the fact that they are so down to earth, it's pretty difficult to find that in the Fashion industry.
So ladies, check out their site and tell me what you think. And if you happen to hook up with them on anything, tell 'em that I sent ya!
Nuff Said

Before I head out to prepare for this evening's debauchery, I can't close out today's blog posts without giving a much-deserved CONGRATULATIONS to MANCHESTER UNITED for pulling out a heart-wrenching Champions League Final victory over CHELSEA, 1-1 (6-5 in penalty kicks).
