Cedric "Cornbread" Maxwell, who frequently says "Quack, quack, ku-WHACK!" during his Celtics commentary...
Luckily noone was listening to the Celtics game so noone was insulted.
Oh, I didn't realize that Celtics basketball passed for political commentary/humor.
Wait, I take that back. At 14-42, they are a joke.
Exactly...who will have more wins this year, Dice-K Matsuzaka
(sp?) or the Boston Celtics? Larry Bird's not coming through that door, fans (...and nobody is bothering to listen...)

Ha! How about Louis Jordan and his Tympany 5, "Beans and
Cornbread"? (they used to use it as a theme song for
"dinner and a movie" on TBS)
Beans and Cornbread,
Beans and Cornbread had a fight.
Beans knocked Cornbread out of sight.
Cornbread said, "Now that's alright, meet me on the corner tomorrow night."
"I'll be ready, I'll be ready tomorrow night,"
That's what Beans said to Cornbread . "I'll be ready tomorrow night.
Cause Beans and Cornbread, they go hand in hand
I gave up on the Celtics many years ago. I still listen to the Bruins on the internet but I have even given up on them and adopted the Hurricanes.
I am really pumped of for the Sox this year.
That's so gay...
Thankfully they will run Red Sox games so they'll make money that way (not that Sox rights came cheap!)
Whatever they do, they should NOT trade Maxwell for Bill Walton. Walton is a far more annoying announcer.
I realize the last time they traded Maxwell for Walton, they won a championship, but that was a long time ago...
Well at least he didn't say he hates gays. That would be a "firing" offense.
Seriously. There must be some kind of matrix with weighted levels of offenses that denote what sanctions should be taken against the offending person.
Blacks: able to make derogatory/personal comments against all others in general, except homos.
White Women: can make derogatory/personal comments against everyone, except blacks and gays.
White Men: can make derogatory/personal comments against NO ONE, unless they are conservative, religious or patriotic Americans, regardless of ethnicity.
John DePetro simply called Grace Ross a lesbian and got fired.

What is it with everybody apologizing all the time? Why not just say "I said what I think, other people disagree, so be it"?
...Former Red Sox player Steve Lyons got fired by Fox for making remarks--joking--that implied that colleague Lou Piniella
stole his wallet, IIRC...
Back in 94 I played in a City Rec League tournament and Violet Palmer was one of the referees.
