...which does give me a bit of a sheepish grin.

I have a deep, ingrained dislike for Boston teams being a Dolphins, Angels, and Lakers fan. So it gives me a little unabashed glee to watch the Boston fans take hit after hit.

With the Celtics dismantling, the Bruin gag job to lose Game 6... at home, and now the Patriots circus.

The AFC East is ripe for the taking, and it will be ours sooner than later! "Can't wait!"

I'm not a fan of the area or the fans, but I don't wish death on anyone. My thoughts are with the Victims loved ones.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

How about a bad year? Add in the Boston Marathon bombing... Got to feel for the people who live in Boston.

You guys are making it sound worse than it is.

Yes the Bruins lost in the cup final but the hockey fans I know say they were shocked they made it this far. Played some exciting games in the postseason--many decided in OT. A good year for the Bs.

The Celtics, well everyone loved Doc, but it was obvious for the past couple of seasons that the team needed to rebuild. Garnett, Pierce, and company are grandpas. They need to rebuild around Rondo, and Doc has stated that he didn't want to be involved in a rebuilding project so he asked to be let go. Ainge agreed--no bad feelings or anything like that. The fans understand this and are okay with it, in general. Most Boston fans (except Patsies fans---but that's not a boston team ) are used to going decades between championships. The B's and C's have won within the past few years so their fans are not really depressed.

This thread has conveniently avoided the fact that the Red Sox are currently in first place in their division. So it's not really a bad time for Boston sports when you consider that.

As for the Pats...F them. the AG scandal couldn't have happened to a better team. It's a horrible shame that a young man lost his life needlessly, and I hope that justice is served. But this is the state that lets drunk drivers who kill people off with a slap on the pinky, so who knows what will happen.

As for the events surrounding April 15th , which also happened during a sporting event, people are not depressed or very worried in general but there is a little bit of anxiety about July 4th, when they have a big concert on the Esplanade every year--the surviving asshole who did the Marathon bombings apparently told the cops they originally planned to carry out their attack on July 4th (which would have harmed more people and especially children---lots of families go to that concert). They chose the marathon instead because their bombs were ready "early."

I got nothing to say to this thread because i dont give a crap about boston but................



GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
heat.

I hope my bruins give me a bad season like this one every year...for that matter hope the fins do as well. To me it is more about every game counting and not watching a lame duck team than whether or not my fav team gets the cup or whatever championship. Dont get me wrong I am still a bit stung by the Bs lost esp the way it finished but I got alot of great nites of watching edge of your seat games with my boy and I did shut off the game in the final 5 seconds so i didnt actually have to see the hawks celebrate in Boston. My grandfather who was a big sox fan said soemthimng to me that i always liked refering to pro sports. i cant rememeber the exact quote but it was to the effect that he never sees a check when they win anything so until he does he wont put too much of himself into their final demise. Only two teams i have it bad for are the Bruins and the Fins. If both teams are relevant I am happy. As a side note the Bs are full of chararctwer guys too which to me is just as important(bergeron is my 3rd favorite all time sports figure with Ray Bourque and of course Dan Marino), Just love rooting fot guys liek him and the Zach Thomases of sports. Give me guys like that that stay relevant with the shot at a championship over a dynasty team of prima donna hoods anytime.

I've gotta agree with that in principle. Every team wants to win a championship, of course. But there is something to be said about every game that your team plays actually counting for something. That's why it was great to watch Don Shula's teams throughout his career. He only had two losing seasons. We were in it pretty much every year. There was none of this "let's tank three seasons in a row so we can rebuild for three more years after that" nonsense. On game day I want my team to win.

much better lol

The 2013 Red Sox are looking real good, only minor threat in their division is the Orioles.
