Who needs football?

Yep so it's 4:50 in the morning and I'm still up. Why not blog?

Yeah I realize football season's over and Sunday's officially blow hard now, but that certainly won't be the case tomorrow (later today actually).  We've got a great slate of action with the Celtics taking on those frauds the Heat, while the Bruins complete a home-and-home series with the Red Wings out in Hockeytown USA. For the Celtics, it's a chance to sweep the season series with Miami, which would be a huge mental edge in a potential playoff matchup down the line. It's also a chance to reclaim the top spot in the East, with the Heat currently holding a half game advantage.

As for the B's, it's a chance to continue to separate from Montreal in the Northeast before they go on a hilariously easy stretch of games in which they could really pull away. But we know how the B's tend to play down to their competition, so nothing's guaranteed on that front. And as much as I hate to say it, I think what was left of Tuukka Rask's confidence is gone after allowing 5 goals through two periods to Detroit on Friday. Obviously it's not a huge issue with Timmy Vezina holding strong, but I'm getting awfully tired of hyped-up young Bruins goaltenders who flame out into something like this or like that. Aren't you?

Lastly, in music news, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are up for the "Best Rock Album" in the Grammy's tomorrow night for last summer's "Mojo". So tune on in and root for Petty to collect his 4th Grammy.

Petty's still got it at 60.
