The rest of the country hates us when it comes to sports. I think they're jealous. Let's fact it, New England has been just a tad bit dominant in American sports recently. Heh.
I think this photo says it all.
Yup, I was at the Celtics rally this morning. This makes my 3rd rally since 2004. It's too cold out for the Patriots. And I'm not really a football fan. I love my Boston Red Sox with all my heart, but I'm a pretty happy Celtics fan these days. It's been 22 years since the Celts last won the finals, and it's been a tough time to be a fan of the NBA in general. All those thugs, all that bad press. And Kobe. Ugh. So not a star. 
However, if you think I'm going to miss a rally on such a gorgeous day, you just don't know me very well. I live for the rally. I love to scream as loud as I can and cheer on my teams. I love to see the players up close and personal.
In Boston we know how to do a rally right. We line up the duck boats and load them with players, their family and friends, and we intersperse confetti machines.
We pack the streets 30 to 50 people deep, all wearing the green.
We set off the confetti as the duckboats roll through.
Music is blasting,
People are hanging out their office windows.
The players are having the time of their lives.
They're smoking cigars in honor of Red Auerbach.
And holding up the MVP trophy.
The fans are going nuts!
Kevin Garnett is wearing 10 carats of diamonds in those ears. They're HUGE.
Doc Rivers looks so psyched
Paul Pierce is having a really good day.
Ray Allen looking good despite his baby son's recent juvenile diabetes diagnosis.
House and son.
Yeah, we know how to celebrate in this city. And evidentially, we know how to know how to play sports.
Now it's time to turn back to baseball. Go Red Sox!
