I was working out today ( don’t laugh) when I was overcome with regret. I had delivered a season preview of our Celtic broadcasts at the Comcast Sportsnet Celtics Media Luncheon and now I was thinking of things of I wish I had said.

I wish I had told the story about Tommy when I was in the hallway and heard "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!." I ran into the conference room to see if Tommy was okay. He was stretched out in a swivel chair with his head leaning back and his arms raised in the air. I asked him what was the matter. He did make a move and groaned " Tonight, we got Eddie F. Rush!" Eddie was not one of Tommy’s favorite officials. Come to think of it, Tommy dislikes all officials but he really dislikes Eddie F. Rush….as most Celtic fans do.

I did tell the story however of how during the playoffs Tommy would stand up take a deep breath and tell us he had to take a walk. He would walk around the building to cool off before watching the game again.

Without question, one of the funniest people I have ever met is Donny Marshall. He has everyone cracking up during commercial breaks. He can imitate every player in the league. Jason Kidd thought Donny was so funny when they played together that J-Kidd offered to bank roll a comedy career for Donny. He is also the best dressed man I know. His custom suits are never wrinkled and his head is always clean shaven with no excess hair above the neck anywhere. He is a little obsesive about it. Ten seconds before going on the air, he moves right next to me and looks directly into my ear. He then says," You better get that ear hair clipped. It’s disgusting." Where I come from the only time a barber touched your ear is when he trimmed a little off above the ear…NOT in it!

In case you don’t know Tommy will be in studio with me during road games and Donny will be with Mike. Then during home games Tommy will be at the Garden and Donny will be with me.

Yes, I did have my ear hair clipped. It’s hurts!
