This week's guest is Kevin Henkin, a freelance writer who is currently covering the Celtics for Boston Sports Media Watch.
Kevin has also ben a regular at Boston Sports Review and has written for Barstool Sports and the Boston Metro.
He is certainly outspoken......
From an article in Sports Fan Magazine from March 4th, 2005 , he presents his view of writers who try to insert themselves into their stories.
.............and here is his take on the recent Celtics moves from BSMW of July 30th.
I'm sure we will have some fun with Kevin and I hope you will join us, as we continue to evaluate the teams rise to "relevance" and separate the hype from reality in terms of Ainge's roster building.
If you have a question for our guest or the show you can call our toll
free number (1.866.751.9649) anytime leading up to tip off on Sunday
and leave us a voice mail to air live or you can send us an e-mail. As
always we will take your calls live during the show and monitor the
chat wars in The Pit.
Please Note: Jughead is available in the chat room 30 minutes prior to
the start of the show to help make sure you are able to get the stream
playing live on your computer. During that time we jump jump to the
sounds of Miracle Johan's epic old school style.

To me, it represents the height of egotism on the part of sports columnists to think that we as sports fans have any desire to discover their beverage of choice or their favorite musicians or the performance of their daughter’s field hockey team. I really don’t care if the writer had a bad plane ride sitting next to a guy with a flatulence problem and I certainly don’t want to hear about the great deal he got on his breakfast at the Waffle House or the fact that he has a sore back.

Somewhere, Red Auerbach smiles and takes a drag on a thick wet cigar. Recall his choice words of frustration following Boston’s dismal 2005-06 season: “Young talent, old talent, all I’m interested in is winning. I remember a baseball team that went through a youth movement for fifteen years! We’ve got a young team. So what? We want somebody to win!” If winning is what you want, winning is what you can expect to get following a nearly complete roster overhaul this off season with the pending trade for Kevin Garnett.
For those that bemoan the loss of both Al Jefferson and Gerald Green, I strongly encourage you to make your way through the seven stages of grief, whatever they are, then put your little hankies away and join the rest of us in celebration. The green ink is drying on 2008 playoff tickets as we speak.
