I'm not the big sports fan that most New Englanders are. But, it is infectious. Because there is only one major team for each sport for the region. Unlike most teams representing a state or city. The Celtics/Lakers rivalry in basketball is akin to the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry. So people get really charged if the local team is in finals against a rival. Some folks just take it too far in their excitement. - The pride this year is that The Patriots, The RedSox and now the Celtics have their own respective championship... hence my comment that the Bruins need to bring it home now.(maybe next year) To me it's all just a game with a really big pay check. As well as all the logo items reaping in the dough. I saw a beany baby teddy bear with a Celtics shirt on in the store.. $11.99.. cute as it was. come on. That's just taking it too far. If it hadn't been that much, I just might have bought it. But that's where I drew the line.
What I thought was cute was the RedSox donning green Celtics shirts for their game on Friday night.
And this is all relavent..?
because basketball is Paul and OTH's game. right?
all in good fun!
