ABC – Another Boston Championship
Boston just celebrated another professional championship with a parade on Thursday. The Boston Celtics won their 17th NBA title and first in 22 years. That’s six championship banners for the New England area since 2002. The other five? How about three Super Bowls for the New England Patriots and two World Series’ for the Boston Red Sox. Let’s not forget the amateurs. Boston College has been in the NCAA hockey championship five times in the last nine years, winning the Frozen Four tournament twice. This just isn’t fair to the rest of the country.
If you live in the Boston area and need a sign made don’t be surprised if they put you on the back burner. They’re too busy making banners to show off in their stadiums. The Celtics championship I can get with. Kevin Garnett has been one of my favorite players for a long time, and it’s great to finally see him win a ring. Being a Denver Nuggets fan I predicted my team would do squat if and when they made the playoffs. Just another disappointing season. The Red Sox, on the other hand, can take their World Series sweeps and shove it. Their 2007 championship crushed the hopes of my Colorado Rockies and their hopeful fans. I had waited 15 long years for them to make it to the World Series, only for them to be embarrassed. I was even rooting against the 2004 Sox when former Rockies legend Larry Walker was playing for the St. Louis Cardinals. I also think Albert Pujols is one of the baddest mashers in baseball. As far as the Patriots go, Bill Belicheat and the rest of them will get theirs.
Hey Boston, when you decide to let other teams raise some banners please consult me before handing over the torch. I have a couple cities in mind that could use a parade.
