comcast might be the worst company in all of america. any decision they make is entirely suspect especially letting cousy go for what amounts to peanuts. if anyone reading this is a comcast employee then you have my deepest sympathies. i have never dealt with a more arrogant, ignorant, frustrating company than comcast and it is not hard to imagine that this is their corporate culture from top to bottom.

sure the cousy was a bit disinterested in the current nba and he rained on the parade almost all year last year when it was obvious that they were a great team.

but so what? after decades of frustration cousy deserved another year. at least keep the guy around to do a handful of games because he offers up more in any 30 seconds of talk than the likes of greg dickerson and donny marshall will in their entire lives.

Listening to Cooz do Celtics games hasn’t been the same since Wick Wobey was traded to Phoenix for DJ in 1983.

Well said on the Cooz issue Bruce.

It was nice to see him, but if anyone thought Cousy’s place was behind a microphone then they must be nuts. He decent, but once he reduced his role to 10 games a year and even then not knowing the team to even an average level, it was time to go.

It’s funny because after 13 years Cooz knew it was time to walk away from playing basketball despite still being very productive. Yet, at 80 years old the Hall of Famer is having a hard time letting go.

In regards to the Cooz story, thinking about the future (maybe in as little as 5 years from now)… who will replace Tom Heinsohn as the color man? I think Donny Marshall does a fine job, however, how weird would it be to have nary a Celtic on the broadcast?

Does Comcast pony up the big bucks to Cedric Maxwell for his services? Why does it seem there are so few former Celtics who are providing commentary for games? I understand that the 90s were dry years for the team, but I’m sure that players like Dee Brown, Walter McCarty or Dana Barros would be welcome in some kind of broadcasting role. How great would it be if Tom Heinsohn mentored and eventually passed the torch on to Walter McCarty?

I’m extremely sorry for daring to question Terry “World’s Greatest Manager” Francona. Apparently keeping a guy in with a 4 inning era of 6.75 and 4 inning whip of 1.75 was the correct choice. Mike Timlin was the correct choice, he of the 2008 away stats of 6.31 era, 1.64 whip, .290 against; night stats of 6.53 era, 1.74 whip, .317 against; september stats 9.39 era, 2.22 whip, .382 against; vs. TB stats 9.00 era, 2.50 whip, .294 against…Silly me for questioning such genius…
