15 Minutes Of Fame

I don't know how many of you know about this, but I'm famous on the internet. Or to quote Will Ferrell, "I'm kind of a big deal."

Granted, the only people that care about my fame are diehard Celtics fans, and most of them have never seen my face.  So I don't think the paparazzi are going to be hounding me as I pick up the morning paper anytime soon.

Still, I got a brief bit of exposure in the mainstream media that is pretty cool.  A few days ago, I wrote something about a temper tantrum that a Celtics player threw during a game.  I was quoted by Yahoo's NBA blog "Ball Don't Lie." Now, this itself is no major deal.  It actually happens all the time.

What made this a big deal was the fact that Yahoo.com picked that blog post to feature on the front page.  So now anyone with a passing interest in an NBA player called "Big Baby" acting like a big baby has clicked on that link and seen my name and quotes.

I've had 5 different people (including my wife) tell me that they saw me on Yahoo.  Very cool.  Next step, the ESPYs!  Red carpet here we come!  (How much would Jen love that?)
