Can't trust that day...

During a timeout while my beloved Celtics were going down in flames in the 4th quarter on Saturday night, I watched a Burger King commercial featuring this great Dire Straits song - The Walk of Life.  Whoo Hoo, Whoo, Hoo.
And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life, yeah he do the walk of life

Bonnie Raitt/Mavis Staples were at Mountain Park in Holyoke, MA on Friday night (anyone go?).   Low Cut Connie was at the Living Room in NYC on Saturday, but the Boyz from Brooklyn were locked in on the Celtics.  Suggested to The Reet that we shuffle down to the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den for David Bromberg Sunday night, but she declined the chance to make a fortune at 25-cent video poker.

Meanwhile, UConn's Geno Auriemma apparently was on a sugar run in 2009, hitting on a female NBA security official at a hotel bar. Now she's suing (I think because his pickup line was so lame).
Per Kelly Hardwick’s allegation, she and another female official were in the lobby at the team hotel in 2009, when Auriemma approached them from the bar.“He invited himself and started talking about coming from an immigrant Italian background and saying he could relate to inner-city blacks,” Ms. Shannon recalled. “We were like ‘whatever.”  He then rode with them up the elevator and allegedly tried to kiss Hardwick, a former narcotics detective, but she rebuffed his advances. (“You better check yourself before you get hurt!”). more
