CALL ME SNAKE

I have been wrong about Antoine Walker for 11 straight days–surely a world record for forthrightness and honesty–and I have had the fortitude to put that admission out there in full public view. Now, it seems, the rest of the world is finally catching on. In today’s Boston Globe, columnist and basketball pundit Peter May makes the case that Walker should be nominated for the Most Valuable Player in the NBA. The Celtics, he argues, have gone from a mediocre team to a “legitimate No. 3 team in the East” and “there’s one prime reason for this turnaround: Employee No. 8.” Sometimes bloggers like myself wonder why they even bother. But then an article like this comes along to make it all worthwhile.
