Out of Luck

Not so Lucky after all!

Noooooooo.....

Whoooooooo wants a new job?

Get a hot cheerleader out there to slam it home off a trampoline.

Maybe because he missed a dunk on Conan O'Brien?

He accused co-workers of always "trying to steal Lucky's charms!"

Red must be lighting a cigar in heaven right now. Lucky was (and will be when they replace him) the height of the tacky game 'presentation' that is such a part of todays NBA.

At least the fans are now lucky!

Couldn't even wait for him to enjoy the All-Star Game mascot festivities...

Maybe he and Billy the Marlin can form a support group.

How much does that job pay?

WHAT!? You gotta be kidding me! There better be a damn good reason for getting rid of him cause he's one of the best mascots out there.

How do you like dem lucky charms!

What the heck?! Why would they fire Lucky?

That sucks. I am now boycotting the games now. After all he was the only reason to go. If Red was still around this guy would never have left his previous job of bagging groceries at Super Stop and Shop.

It's a slam dunk that there's a story here.

Thank god! He Sucked!!

Never like to see someone lose their job but...thank God... or Red. Now, can we eliminate the vastly over-rated dancers and focus on the best basketball team in the NBA?

Leprechaun- more like Lepre-gone!

Now that the Celtics are winning again they don't need these side gimmicks like Lucky to help attendance.

I hate to say it but I think the Celtics Dancers will be next on the chopping block...

Somewhere Red Auerbach is lighting up a cigar!!

Looks like he may have down-sized....

Lucky with the Dipsy Dooo!!!!!

His job performance came up a bit short...

Hay Now!!!

I think Shawn Fahey has a dress that looks just like that outfit.

They should give the job to Scallabrine and make room for Starbury. Perfect win-win

Hire one more of those gorgeous cheerleaders! Raaahh is right!

It's about time. He always seemed more interested in promoting himself instead of the Celtics. He never came across as a real fan.

Now it's time for Danny to spend some money and bring in the Phoenix Gorilla and dress him up in Green!

NO MORE DISPY DOO'S :(

I'm sure that someone with his skillset will be re-employed soon. Maybe the nascent Boston Breakers can snap him up before the Boston Lobsters come calling. Boing - Boing, indeed!

"mutual resignation"

I heard he's a jerk and the C's got tired of his crap.

Too bad for him... seems to me professional sports franchise mascot is just about the best job out there for people 4 feet tall.

They need to bring back the CRUNCH and MUNCH GUY!

The layoffs continue...

Perhaps Stephon Marbury will be available to take his place?

tough to replace how amany other grown manwill dress up as a leprechaun and be able to do these stunts.

good, i can't stand him!

Word on the street is that he's a recovering addict who fell off the wagon, and he also has a history of domestic violence issues.

I want to see Lucky hired by the Patriots. They can put him in one of those Revolutionary cannons and then fire him from the Fifty through the goalposts and into the net.

I just hope they don't replace him with a fuzzy mascot. I hate team mascots as a rule, though Lucky was OK in my book.

Jammed!

There is more to this story. I am a school teacher in a local town and Lucky did a show at our school. He promised all of the kids autographed cards that he was supposed to drop off last February. Well, they still have not come yet. He is a fraud. Talented yes, but a fraud. Also, there were many reports of sexual harassment from Lucky towards the Celtic girls and other female Celtics employees.

Who does #2 work for????

Word is that Mini-me is replacing him.... all 2 feet 8 inches of him! Verne Troyer will bring in more ladies!

The Celtics called it a "down-sizing" due to this current economy.

RickRoby, come on.....leave the dancers alone!!!!! Who cares about their dancing? That's not why I watch them. lol

Now all they need to do is get rid of the trashy dancers.

Who cares?

IF the Celtics go on an extended losing streak, they better reconsider this! They are playing out of their minds the last couple of weeks...let's hope that continues.

You people need to go back to work and stop making me laugh........your comments are too funny !!!

They should hire The Boosh to blackout and fight the Asian girl who spins plates.

Can I interview for his job?

I don't like to hear about anybody losing a job, but that dude was annoying. I know when to clap at a professional basketball game, thank you very much. Now go away.

I went to a game a few weeks ago and noticed Lucky was lazy and didn't do anything to interact with the crowd. Prior to the game he attempted several trick shots and it looked like he was just warming up. He didn't make any of them. I thought he'd come out during the game or at halftime to do the real thing but don't recall seeing him much at all. I say good riddance. There are lots of people struggling out there and he looked to be taking a free ride with a bad attitude. Good for the Celtics!

Bring Him and Manny Back Immediately!!!

Who other than me hoped that Lucky would put himself through the hoop rather than the ball.

Steph Marbury will be bought out and the C's will sign him as the new Lucky. Which will be great for him. He can promote the new Chocolate Lucky Charms. Win Win

Can Wally be far behind at Fenway?

Steph Marbury will be bought out and the C's will sign him as the new Lucky. Which will be great for him. He can promote the new Chocolate Lucky Charms. Win Win

I heard Hornswaggle from the WWE was replacing him.

WTH!!! I AGREE WITH THE PREVIOUS POSTER THE TRASH DANCERS NEED TO GO!!! LUCKY HE WAS COOL THO!!

In keeping with the "goodwill" generated from this "mutual resignation", the Celtics have issued the following statement.
"As an organization, the Celtics would like to express our gratitude to Lucky the Leprechaun for all of his many games of service and professionalism (he was always ready to jump).He has made it possible for other '"'vertically challenged" individuals to dream of a career in the NBA. We will retire Lucky as a "Celtic Great" by hanging him from the rafters prior to the Magic game on March 8th."

As long as they still have GINO!!!

No one is safe in this economy.

They must be trying to free up some salary cap space for Marbury to come aboard.

Dibs in his "air" gun.

Heads up Wally!

Was I the only one chanting "MISS, MISS, MISS" when Lucky went of the trampoline to dunk? Can't stand Lucky, so glad he's gone.

MAYBE THE KNICKS CAN SIGN HIM TO THE REGULAR PLAYER ROSTER

Wow. You Celt "fans" sure are true fans of the game. The most comments on a post in months and it revolves not around the Celtics team but a guy wearing a costume. Here's hoping they never change the popcorn vendor or you guys will crash the damn server.

This guy started to get really annoything this year. Didn't he use to wear a mask and now he got to shows his face? Too much self promotion for him maybe there is a career for him at the cirucus now or some stupid rejected reality show about former mascots. LOL Maybe they can get the WHOOOp guy on the bicycle to ride across the celtics floor ringing his bell. Now that guy is a boston legend.

Not magically delicious, i suppose.

At least he is not witholding his services.....then it would be a Lucky Strike...

Talk about a bad economy....if Lucky didn't have bad luck he would have no luck at all.

I agree..w/ the person who said take the money and hire the crunch and munch guy!

---"They should give the job to Scallabrine and make room for Starbury. Perfect win-win"---

HAHA!!!!!!!! That would be perfect! lol

Lucky apparently misrepresented himself as a Leprechaun, when in fact he was a "Clurichaun". Clurichaun are a night "form" of the leprechaun,and enjoy going out to drink after finishing the daily chores. Clurichauns are said to always be drunk and unlike their cousins, they are surly. Many fables conclude clurichauns enjoy riding sheep and dogs at night.
When Lucky was found with Spuds MacKenzie recently, that was the final straw, according to the C's front office.

Good. That guy was annoying anyway. If we have to have a mascot at least let him be in a funny, over-sized custom. That guy seemed like a dork and probably used that gig to try to get chicks anyway.

He can go work for Charlie tuna in South Bend. That team needs all the luck they can get.

Not a problem. Next should be the dancers, then the rest of the nonsense including the cameras on the fans. To many "pink hat" fans that have no interest other than talking on their phones & drinking to much. The balcony has turned into the bleachers and the ushers are overwhelmed. We don't need it anymore. GO CELTICS!

Lucky... more like... crappy! Whooooooooa!!!!!!

Lucky with a dipsy doo?????????

They found out he wasn't really Irish.

Deval Patrick would be a perfect replacement.

He isn't doing anything else...and I believe the little fella fits the maximum height requirement.

Maybe he'll get LUCKY and the DEMS will earmark STIMULUS for unlucky Leprechauns.

Maybe he'll get LUCKY and the DEMS will earmark STIMULUS for unlucky Leprechauns.

He was full of himself...

Na na na na hey hey hey goodbye

Its gotta have something to do with the conan o'brien.

Too bad, at least he provided some entertainment. Hopefully they'll get rid of the useless annoyance that is Willie May. Will somebody explain why he is there! What does he bring to the Garden experience? Maybe someday he'll be able to put a cohesive sentence together.

Good. Red is now smiling.

they had a mascot?

Forget Lucky - We want GINO!!!

how about someone to dress up like GINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and dance around the floor - too funny !!!!

Get a new mascot. Two words: Celtic Tiger

NEWBURYPORT: The following cases were heard in Newburyport District Court on Friday, Dec. 5. Judge Peter Doyle presided over the following jury-waived trials:

Damon L. Blust, 33, 175 Centre St., 1709, Quincy; driving with a suspended license, continued for one year, $200 in court costs, $50 to VWF; speeding, responsible, $200 assessment (State)

BFD ! How about some damn news! This paper is ridiculous.

If he gets a job with the Knickerbockers, would that be considered cross-courting or trans-mascoting?

they should just hire that guy that looks like jack black with a fro who dances in the stands all game. I think he would make a great hypeman/mascot

Seems to me that he was DOWN SIZED!!!!!!!!!

LOL!

Now if they could only get rid of that hideous canned chant -- "Ev-REE bu-DEE clap yo HANZ! (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)." It makes me want to scream! The Celtics aren't the only team that uses it, either. Is it supposed to be clever? Amusing? Inspiring? I'm pretty sure that most Celtics fans know when to clap, or not. Don't fans at a game feel insulted when they hear this recording?

Looks like Papelbon might have a new job opportunity.

Now let's get rid of the jumbo-tron and get back to real basketball. But, please keep the dancers! Lucky was annoying, so happy he is gone.

As a season ticket holder, I liked having him around. he was always running around, shaking hands with little kids, silly stringing anyone in the stands with opposing jerseys. Don't know anything about him off the court, but hopefully they will find a replacement ASAP

My friend Bob LePage would be a perfect replacement

My daughter will be crushed, he paid a vist to her class in 3rd grade and she loved him!

Tough economy, why pay some stupid dunking mascot $75K /yr for 41 games and some community work - ridiculous

Get rid of all the mascots and dancers. The Celts are the best team in Basketball (for now) and don't need this foolishness to sell tickets. I'd rather see the players stuff the ball than in the opponents face over Lucky, to get the crowd into the game and cheering. Rest easy Red!

Poor Lucky, looks like him and his boss just couldn't see eye to eye

Darth Vadar - I completely agree. Get rid of all of them, and cut out the cheerleader/mascot nonsense. I know Red was rolling in his grave when the cheerleaders were added.

DELETE!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! This makes me so sad, now who's going to do double front flip dunks over cheerleaders at halftime?!?!?!?!

"Lucky didn't see eye to eye with his boss on several issues."

C'mon the guy is 4 feet tall ... he doesn't see eye to eye with ANYONE! I'm checking ebay for that vest.

damn, you know this are bad when even Lucky is out of the job! hahaha

Maybe now they can hire a guy who LOOKS LIKE the logo.

This idiot is going to be begging for his job back in a few years! Mark my words.

About time, he was annoying looking anyway. Another cheerleader will do! GOOD JOB CELTS!

Now Lucky can go back to that weird 4 story apartment building that sits right next to the Garden and O.D. on Heroin while sitting in the dark.

My question is which cheerleader did he hook up with?

My question is which cheerleader did he hook up with?

This just in. Willie Maye has been hired as the new lucky. He may kill himself as he is a few biscuits over his fight weight, but it will be entertaining nonetheless. Word is they are in negotiations with Marv Albert to do post game interviews as Willie would be hard to replace.

He's the worst! I hate that guy.

So, why should Lucky be excluded from the unemployment line when many other individuals are getting pink slips!

First Jags and now Lucky! What the H.E. double hockey sticks is going on in this town. By the way, thanks Chris Forsberg for absolutly NO details whatsoever.

They should hire the guy that does the mascotting for the Connecticut Sun....

You know its a tough Economy when....

What's Chuck Knoblauch doing these days? He'd be a cool replacement...

You know, so long as he doesn't need to make the throw to first. HeYO! Badda Bing!

Blame it on Bush!!!!

"C'mon the guy is 4 feet tall ... he doesn't see eye to eye with ANYONE! I'm checking ebay for that vest."

Best comment so far!

I wonder what GINO is up to, he could get the crowd going

I agree. Have some respect for the sport itself (and the history of this franchise) and get rid of the terrible, mindless entertainment during time outs. People want to see a professional basketball game, not a circus. Red Sox games are the toughest ticket in town and they don't need to resort to this kind of garbage to keep people entertained. The sport can stand on its own feet.

Gino is kindof dead so yeah.... no. :-P

Did Barak put any stimulus money for mascots in the new plan???

First Lucky,... Is Gino next?
Is this the "CHANGE" that Obama was talking about?!?!

The Celts should make Jason Varitek the new mascot. They can put a big C in the middle of one of the shamrocks on his costume.

In Irish mythology, a leprechaun is a type of male faerie ... 'nuff said.

Hey let's check with Pedro, see if he still has Nelson de la Rosa's number...

Lucky was a part of the experience of going to a celtics game. Just as the dancers are, the jumbotron, the crazy fans, and the games and things they do during half time/time-outs. If you don't like it, stay home and watch the game. There's no nonesense there. Otherwise, don't complain about it.

It was just a communication problem....

The Celtics told him to keep doing his dunks. Lucky thought they said, "keep doing your drunks!".
Sadly, Lucky was found in a back alley in a bad situation.
Now, Lucky will get to go to "The Surreal Life" and dunk with Corey Feldman, Erik Estrada, Ron Jeremy, and "Tawny" Kitaen.
Good Luck...... Lucky !

---"Here's hoping they never change the popcorn vendor or you guys will crash the damn server."---

lol, Too funny, Nick!!!!!!

The name Damon and Boston Sports don't go together

He was on Conan 2 weeks ago and must have gotten a big head. ?
The Luck Stops Here.-----> Not so Lucky

Help Wanted:
The Boston Celtics are looking for their next team mascot. Applicants must fit in a pair of 5T todler pants, have weak trick shots that never go in ( we leave the shwishes to KG and the guys), the ability to miss multiple dunks off a trampoline at halftime and must act like you are somebody important when you are not. Additionally harrassment of female Celtic employees is +.

I always wished one of the Patroits or other celebrity that he jumps over would have nailed him in the nuts.

For me, this ranks high on the best things to happen to the Celtics in the last few years. My list is like this:

1) Ray Allen trade
2) Firing Lucky
3) Finals Game 6
4) Garnett trade
5) Antoine Walker participating in the All-Star 3-pt competition despite not being able to shoot.

He was always after me lucky charms.

Maybe Mayor Menino might like to become "Lucky."

I go to a fair amount of games. He seemed like a cool guy and he went out of his way to pose w/every kid or drunken idiot who begged him to take a pic with him. Hey DurhamCeltsFan, "Everybody clap yor hands" is a clip from an old dance song that's played at many arenas..Nick Van Exel, for a Faker's fan, you sure spend alot of time at our site...clown.

Who cares? He's a cheerleader.

i saw him at one game literally put his own head in his won a**.

Wonder how many cheerleaders he got "lucky" with

I guess the tough economic times finally hit the celtics

I THOUGHT HE WAS a distraction anyways....

as much as i hated this little guy, he was entertaining to watch...but about ur question of how much these mascots get paid.. Lucky was one of the more athletic and popular mascots in the league and he was one of the highest paid, i heard somewhere around 100-150k and that aint no joke

Get rid of lil' funk, they are the worst.

Looks like the Obama team didn't pass that economic stimulus package on time.
On the bright side, I suppose LUCKY can now run for Governor if Illinois!

I'm sad. As a season ticket holder for about 12 years,( We started in the ML Carr coaching days, and have long suffered), I say get rid of the dancers, and keep Lucky. I've seen "entertainment" going way downhill over the past 2 years. When the C's were on the way up, we started being subjected to pre game "entertainment of HORRIBLE dance school exhibitions, and half time 6th grade basketball games. Whatever happened to real entertainment? No one watches the crappy stuff I just mentioned except the parents of the kids participating. I'd rather see the Northeast Trick Stars bicycle team that apparently won some title in like 1970, and are still riding and thinking that they are great. We used to see them way too often.Pretty bad,but better than what we see now.bad, but

wahhh..wahhh.WAHHH!!!! stop crying-we got a championship. everything else is just gravy.

Fixing a mistake that never should have happened. Hot dancers: yes. Goofy mascot: NO!

CB is correct who needs a dopey mascot when you can look at T&A at halftime, instead of some mascot dunking donkey!

"Blust missed some team appearances and didn't see eye to eye with his boss "

No crap, they guy was like 4 1/2 feet tall.

Lucky was one of the best white guys in the league!!

Thank God. I hope the Celtics replace him with exactly nothing. It'll be a step up.

I just knew there'd be hell to pay when his t-shirt cannon jammed at the Dallas game.

Uh oh, I see Shaughnessy next book proposal on the horizon. he'll have "curse of the lucky" typed up and ready for the moment the W L record takes a bad turn. Schmaltz sells.

I heard the Celts offered him 5 million, but Scott Boras told him he could get 4 years and 40 million.

Remember that weird Lucky we had with the big head that tripped over everything.

Yeah that was awesome.

I could not stand him. You could tell he was a jerk . I saw him spray silly string in a fans face that was wearing the other teams jersey. He thought he was better than everyone. -Ted S.

He was an egotistical jerk that was kept around a lot longer than he needed to be. He is also one of the reasons that I gave up my centercourt loge season tickets after 30 years. Its about time they figured out that a talented team sells tickets- not some a-hole gymnast dressed for halloween. Let him grow up and get a real job wearing real people clothes

If only Herve Villachaise was still alive...

Can we get Gerald Green back now?

Hey, maybe Sal DiMasi has a future after all !

Who cares if Red Auerbach disdained cheerleaders. I'm glad that attractive looking cheerleaders are part of the Boston Celtics. Lucky will be missed by most!

i remember a game where lucky tried to jump over the rail in the front row and clipped the top of it and flipped over on his face. He ran into the locker room, blew a line then was right out there jumping around like a 5 years old with ADD. He always looked like the was on a little too much red bull.

I Guess you can say Lucky came up a little SHORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!
