We can’t turn to Ammo Grrrll on Power Line for our Friday laughs anymore, but today we have Wall Street Journal sports columnist Jason Gay. Writing about Boston Celtics coach Jason Mazzulla (links omitted), Gay observes:
This is a coach who delivers injury updates like he’s at an FBI briefing, who’s opined at length about his affection for the Boston heist movie “The Town,” who’s lamented the end of fighting in the NBA (“What’s more entertaining than a little scuffle?”), and replied to a reporter asking about the visiting British royal family that he was only familiar with one royal family: Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Mazzulla captured my heart last fall with his existential answer to whether or not the Celtics felt pressure to repeat as NBA champions:
“No pressure,” the coach said. “We’re all going to be dead soon, and it really doesn’t matter anymore.”
Coach Nietzsche couldn’t have said it any better. Put that quote on a banner next to Bird and McHale’s jersey numbers!
Whole thing here (behind the WSJ paywall).
