Boston Celtics Noah reports that the Boston Celtics have signed on a new player from Dublin, Ireland. His name is Seamus O Caelohn (oh-KWAY-lon), and he is a 7'2" center from Trinity College in Dublin -- the best player ever from Trinity. O Caelohn gave a press conference earlier today, where he spelled out the terms of his new contract. To bring O Caelohn on board, the Celtics have agreed to change the pronuncation of their name to KEL-tics (a hard 'K'), in accordance with Irish cultural tradition. We talked to people around Boston to get their reaction to the name change.
