It never gets old

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

The boyfriend is off to the Celtics victory parade and while I have some peace and quiet, I thought I’d reflect upon the incredible Celtics’ World Championship.

17 Things that are totally AWESOME about the Celtics’ 17th World Championship
1. It was well worth the wait. The last time the Celtics won a championship, I was 7. [...]

Go Green!

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I have to admit, I’m pretty excited about tonight’s Celtics-Lakers game. It looks like St. Patrick’s Day today - everywhere you look, everyone is wearing green (myself included). Maybe we could call it “St. Auerbach Day?” Hell, it’s gotta beat the purple and yellow Lakers fans are wearing… right?
I just think it’s about time [...]

Beating L.A. never looked so good

Friday, June 13th, 2008

These 9 p.m. Celtics-Lakers start times are killing me! I had to hurl myself out of bed this morning and my boyfriend - my poor sleep-deprived boyfriend - was a cranky nightmare. BUT every yawn, every watery eye, every cup of coffee is so worth it because watching Ray Allen & Co. stick it to [...]

Celtics redux (or because I have nothing else to write about)

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

I have to admit, I’ve really started to get into this Celtics-Lakers series. If only basketball was like this all season long, I’d probably be a devout fan.
Which reminds me of the kid my dad and I met in Disney World back in December of ‘06. He was clad in a Paul Pierce jersey [...]

I’m a loud-mouthed, obnoxious fan

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

This whole Celtics-Lakers NBA Finals thingamajig is pretty cool. I mean, just as I am quickly approaching my 29th birthday (otherwise known as the last birthday I shall ever celebrate, ever), I was in search of a way to recapture my childhood. Ta da! Enter a new sports championship series featuring old rivals in which [...]

One year later

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Lost in all the hoopla of Spygate, and “Run-it-up-gate”, and touchdown records, and undefeated season talk, and Super Bowl losing last season was the tragic death of Marquise Hill, a 24-year-old defensive end for the Patriots.
Probably one the most poignant moments of my year so far was meeting Jarvis Green back in January and [...]

Drawing comparisons

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

I’ve already discussed the fact that I’ve been watching some basketball lately but what I haven’t mentioned are some of the things I’ve noticed since rediscovering the sport.
For example, one thing that has stuck out in my mind while watching the Celtics is Kevin Garnett. KG. My eyes can’t really tell you what makes one [...]

Jon Lester is great… an end to the CBA is not

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

What a feel-good story. Boy beats cancer. Boy throws no-hitter at Fenway Park. For a moment, it made me happy to be alive. But only for a moment because then I remembered that the NFL owners meet today and could end the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
And this is why I think I live in a world [...]
