A 2007 Retrospective: It Was Not a Good Year for Boston Sports Fans

In fact, it was a bad year for Boston sports fans, and there are three good reasons for that: the Red Sox, the Patriots, and the Celtics. And don’t even talk to me about the Bruins.

The Red Sox? So you won the division championship － with the Yankees spotting you a huge handicap from get-go, it wasn’t a real season anyway. You did win the World Series, I have to give you that. But the Colorado Rockies? Who did you pay to get that draw? It’s like being the last man in the world; you’re supposed to score. And score. And score.
.
The Patriots? Huge disappointment. 16-0? Big deal. Where’re the Super Bowl rings? No, not those, they're not even so yesterday. Those ones, you dopes, the ones for the 2007 season. Whaddya mean ya gotta go through the playoffs? If you’re so good, Mssrs. Smartypants, why don’t the other playoff teams just forfeit and go home now? Do they know something you don’t know, or what?

As for the Celtics, forget it. You spoil a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go 80-2 for the season by losing at home against Detroit, so you decide to go to L.A. on New Year’s Eve and take it out on Kobe, all by his lonely little self and four guys in short shorts. Yeah, right. Celtics, you’re mean. You’re bullies, that’s what you are. If you were real men, you know what you would’ve done? You would have told the pilot to turn south, made him touchdown in San Antonio, and challenged the Spurs to a best of seven, right there, on the tarmac. Schedules, schmedules, that’s what real men in a real sports movie would have done, get it? It was a charter flight, it was your call to make, and you flubbed it. Now that would have been a nice way to end the year. You still have the chance to redeem yourself, but I’m warning you guys, if you don’t run the table all throughout the playoffs, I’m going to call you out for what you are: sissies.

Oh, and L.A., good luck in the football playoffs. Arena Football playoffs, you know. Hey, I may be demanding, RS, but I’m not mean.

Some Celtics Fans Are Nuts

I mean, win 80 games in the regular season and sweep the playoffs? C’mon, get real.

Me, I’m not going to get serious until they’ve at least reached 40-2.

*let’s see, that’s 25 more to go. Hmm…*

Quote of the Day from Paul Pierce

"We got to see how we respond when we go through those losing streaks for two or three games. Anything can happen."

- Paul Pierce, after the Celtics beat the Nets in New Jersey to go 5-0

That, from the captain of a team that failed to put a three-game winning streak together all season not so long ago.

That's five down and seventy-seven to go. But please save something for the playoffs.

Only 78 More Games to Go for the First Perfect Regular Season in NBA History

You don't believe me? Look.

Celtics Win Season Opener 103-83? Big Deal

Take it easy guys; after all, it was a home game. And there are 81 more to play, and that's just to get to the playoffs. So don't get too excited. Okay?
