Today on Mike and Mike, Ray was talking about Jim Calhoun and his Blue Collar Work Ethic. He Told a story about the time when Jim took the basketball team to a Horse Farm. And he made them watch two horses mate. Jim said, (now if you guys think your studs take a look at that Stud)  Mike Golic turned away in laughter, and Greenie was In tears as well.


Not a family story. But who cares. I'm glad Ray is not like Brady, he told a story that maybe he shouldn't have. But you know what It made me laugh. And Mike and Mike. I hope It made my CelticBlog Buddies Laugh too.

That is a, ummm, bold story. I refuse to believe Calhoun couldn't have made that point any other way. Seems odd.
"Let me call him," Floyd said.

The man shook his head. "O.J. doesn't give out his cell," he said. "He'll call you."

I like Ray Allen cuz he knows he's got nothing to hide, and he doesn't have to pretend to be something he's not. You get the feeling with a lot of NBA players, that they adopt a kind of "persona" for ads, public relations, whatever. Ray Allen to me doesn't do that.

Maybe Ray Allen is really gangster if you meet him person.

Any one got a link to the interview? I searched it but the site only had up the first 19 seconds.

WEEI has his interview up from this morning.

Yeah maybe he could have gotten that point across another way, but would it have stuck with Ray the way it has? Doubtful.

I gotta be honest, I have no idea haha. I can't tell if that's an incredibly effective coaching and teaching tool, or just a horribly troubling story. My head hurts haha.

To me, that's all that matters has far as this story.

Reminds me of the time Jackie Sherrill took the Mississippi St. team to watch a bull get castrated.  Ray's story is not quite as gruesome.   :o
