A shorter entry this morning, as the Boston media is buzzing following the Celtics win over Orlando last night that has them headed to the NBA Finals. According to the Boston Herald, there were a couple of Patriots in attendence last night, with Eric Alexander and Kevin Faulk cheering on the home team.
With all the Celtics articles, there's not much going on this Saturday morning, but here are a few stories to check out:

Tom Curran posted late last night a blog entry discussing several NFL League related issues that were pretty interesting, including labor and some of the disciplinary issues that have gone on during the offseason.
One interesting topic from that was the fact that Goodell is allowing Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to begin working out with the team during the offseason, and he reportedly won't have to start serving his suspension until the season begins.
"Since the time we issued the suspension and asked him to go through the evaluation Ben's been working hard and cooperating fully with all of our medical experts and with the league program," said Goodell. "I spoke to him earlier and I think he's understanding his responsibilities as an NFL player. He can resume his activities but he still has work to do and he knows that."
