On the Boston Celtics signing former two way wing Ron Harper Jr. to a training camp deal
The Boston Celtics have signed former two way wing Ron Harper Jr. to a training camp deal. What made the Celtics want to ink the prospect to a deal this summer? Is the plan to have him compete for the team's final open regular roster spot? Could he dislodge one of the trio of players Boston has under contract for their own two way slots in Amari Williams, Max Shulga, or RJ Luis Jr.? Or is the plan to get him back to the Maine Celtics at the G League level, where he previously played within the wider franchise orbit? The folks behind the "Cyro Asseo" YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look at the signing and what Boston's front office might be planning for Brewer. Check it out below!

Boston Celtics big Neemias Queta gets 12 points, 7 rebounds with Portugal vs. Sweden
Boston Celtics big man Neemias Queta continues to play well for the Portuguese National Team in FIBA EuroBasket exhibition warmups. The Lisbon native put up another solid stat line in a tilt with the Swedish National Team on Saturday (Aug. 16) afternoon, logging 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 block in just 15 minutes of floor time. The Celtics center shot a very efficient 5-of-7 from the field overall, and went 2-of-3 from the free throw line for good measure. Ahead of what is looking like a campaign that will see Queta take on a much bigger role with Boston, this is exactly the sort of thing one wants to see, especially given the fact that he is not all that far removed from offseason knee surgery. The man behind the "Tomasz Kordylewski" YouTube channel put together a clip of his best play from that friendly. Check it out below! Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Spotify: iTunes: YouTube:

Inside Terence Stamp's Family: A look at his personal life
Legendary British actor Terence Stamp, who passed away in August 2025 at the age of 87, was admired worldwide for his remarkable career on stage and screen. While his professional life was widely celebrated, his family background and personal connections also played a significant role in shaping the man behind the spotlight. Early Life and Family Background Terence Henry Stamp was born on July 22, 1938, in Stepney, London, England, into a working-class family. He was the eldest of five children born to Ethel Esther Perrott (1914–1987) and Thomas Stamp (1912–2005), a tugboat stoker who was often away at sea due to his work in the Merchant Navy. Growing up during the Blitz in London's East End, Stamp's childhood was marked by resilience and introspection, shaped by the challenges of wartime. His mother, Ethel, played a significant role in raising the family, fostering a close bond with her children. Stamp's younger brother, Chris Stamp (1942–2012), was a notable figure in the music industry, known for co-managing The Who and founding Track Records. While Terence kept the identities of his other siblings private, his working-class roots and strong family ties influenced his grounded yet introspective personality. His early fascination with cinema began at age three, when his mother took him to see Beau Geste , sparking a lifelong passion for acting. Terence Stamp's Marriage to Elizabeth O'Rourke Terence Stamp's only marriage was to Elizabeth O'Rourke, an Australian pharmacy student, whom he met in the mid-1990s at a chemist shop in Bondi, New South Wales. The couple married on New Year's Eve 2002, when Stamp was 64 and O'Rourke was 29, a 35-year age difference that drew public attention. Despite initial reluctance from O'Rourke due to her parents' concerns about the age gap, their relationship blossomed, and Stamp expressed a desire to start a family. However, the couple did not have children. Their marriage lasted six years, ending in divorce in April 2008, with O'Rourke citing Stamp's 'unreasonable behaviour' as the reason for the split. In a 2013 interview with the Daily Mail , Stamp reflected on the marriage, saying, 'We had an incredible amount of fun. She went back to Australia, and that's why I don't see her, but if I do go there, I'm sure I will.' He expressed sadness over the breakup but noted that time had softened the impact. Stamp's reflections reveal a man who valued the connection but accepted its end with philosophical grace. Father-Son Dynamics and Reflections on Fatherhood Stamp's relationship with his father, Thomas, was complex due to his father's frequent absences during his childhood. In a 2025 YouTube interview, Stamp shared heartfelt reflections on father-son dynamics, shaped by his experience as an only child in the context of his parents' roles. He spoke of the warmth of his mother's love and the generational shifts in parenting, offering insights into how familial bonds shaped his emotional journey. Despite his colorful romantic history, Stamp never had children. In later years, he expressed a growing curiosity about fatherhood, particularly the idea of having a daughter. In the Daily Mail interview, he said, 'Just these past 10 years I've thought it must be really wonderful to have a daughter.' However, he acknowledged that his age made fatherhood unlikely, a reflection that revealed his introspective nature. Ahmedabad Plane Crash
