My Very Own Boston Tea Party, Pass the Beano
The Boston Tea
Party was an act of protest by the American Colonists against Great Britain and
helped spark the American Revolution
I am going to have my very own Boston Tea Party as an act of protest against the New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox and spark the Sour Grapes Revolution.
Yes I’m a Yankees fans.
I was born and raised in the South Bronx and rode the subway daily past Yankee
Stadium. In spite of frequent Senior Moments I still remember Joe DiMaggio, and
Mickey Mantle.
The Bronx Bombers are part of my youth and part of my history. The NY football
Giants and NY Jets are also part of my youth and history although I was never as
passionate about them as I am about my San Francisco Forth Niners.
But this is the year for
all Yankees Fans and all NY Jets fans to rise up and shout, “Enough”. Yes 2007
has become the year for New England/Boston Haters to band together and hold
their No More Boston Teams Tea Party, otherwise known as the Sour Grapes
Revolution.
We now realize that the evil empire resides up the coast and they wear Boston
Red Sox and the New England Patriots uniforms. All we need to complete this
trifecta of loathing for all things Bean Town is for the Boston Celtics to turn
their miserable team around.
I can’t take it anymore!
Those were the days my friend.
The Boston Red Sox used to be the team fans felt sorry for, not any more!
I recall the days when the Mets were the laughing stock of NY, but nothing
compares with their 2007 late season meltdown. The Yanks are another story. All
that money and all that star power, and all that for nada. The Curse of the
Bambino? Oh how I long for the day that the curse gets resurrected by some
Voodoo woman in Bayou country.
In the meantime, I have ordered a case of Beano and plan to boycott all things
North East of New York City.
The Two Minute Drill
The NFL has two elite
and unbeaten teams, the New England Patriots at 8-0 and the Indianapolis Colts
at 7-0. They meet on Sunday in a highly anticipated game, perhaps a pre-cursor
to the AFC Championship.
The defending Super Bowl Champs, the Colts, meet the most dominant NFL team in
recent history, the Patriots, and a team that is scoring at will. This game
will be decided by turnovers and defense. The coaching is superb for both teams
and the quarterbacks are the best in the NFL.
All eyes will be on this game on Sunday.
Holy Brettman:
The Brett Favre magical mystery tour is still alive and well. Didn’t Shanahan
know that the first play in OT would be a bomb? That’s typical Favre. The
painful loss left the Broncos struggling to recover the season.
