Why in the HELL are you going home now? Screw work tomorrow. You should be out celebrating! Congrats on the WC. Too bad the Pats couldn't seal the deal.
I remember back in the fall when BC was #1, the Pats were undefeated, the C's were about to start their domination and the BoSox had just clinched. Bet that was an awesome time to be a Boston fan.

Everybody went home. All my friends went home.
Fortunately I could walk home, so I didn't have to worry about my considerable alcohol consumption.

This decade has been incredible. Unfortunately I missed all three Pats Super Bowl wins and the 2004 Series win because I was living in Paris. (And, actually, I'm still a Cowboys fan above all in the NFL, although I like the Pats.) The 2007 Series was great, but this was incredible--the city really needed an outlet after the Pats choked. This town has rocked during this series. I'm a shameless bandwagon fan of the Celtics just like everybody else here--but I'm enjoying it.
Thanks for the congrats. I played hard all year long.

Fan or player, a long season takes it out of you. Enjoy the WC! IMHO, this group has a few more left in them.

Thanks very much. I'm thrilled for the long-time Celtics fans who hung on through two down decades. And I'm very happy for Paul Pierce, a guy I've admired for years who finally got a team around him and won a ring. I'm happy for KG, too, but PP is a true Boston legend now. And good for him.

Vomit. I've got the world's smallest violin playing for you ...
Maybe the Bruins can throw a wheelbarrow of cash at Ovechkin and Crosby and Turco and then you poor Boston fans can finally get your Stanley Cup too ...
Frontrunner. You make me sick, Boston. Might as well go ahead and switch allegiances to the Longhorns. You have lost your way in this world ...
As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest, reproduced in greater numbers than the rest, a process which had once favored the noblest traits of man, now began to favor different traits. Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent. But as time went on, things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction. A dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.

I don't get the hate. I was cheering for Boston and glad they won. I know many that were cheering for the Celtics.

I believe that quote came from living in Paris too long.

"Courage is fear holding on a minute longer" --- General George S. Patton

No hate. I was just being goofy.

I didn't switch NBA allegiances; I never really had any. I was never really a Mavs fan, although I like Cuban. Until this year, I had watched maybe two full NBA games in the last 15 years. But nobody here was a Celtics fan until this year. I just joined in the fun at the beginning of the season like everybody else. Fortunately things worked out well.
I'm still a Cowboys fan, and I'll always be a TCU fan. No TCU fan can be considered a frontrunner. I've even stopped supporting Arsenal (a successful team) and started supporting West Ham (a team that's never won a championship) because I couldn't stand the Arsenal fans I'd met and because I had genuine feelings for West Ham that I never had for Arsenal. Hell, I'm still a Mets fan.
Talk about 22 long years (and counting)...But, I reserve the right to be a Boston sports fan at any and all times. I've lived here for a combined seven years or so, and I first moved here 11 years ago. I endure the horrible winters here; I deal with these dour people and sit in the dreadful traffic. I deal with the high cost of living. I was married to a Boston native for 11 years. Surely all of that put together has earned me the right to bandwagon with the Celtics.
Aren't you a Pirates fan as well as being a Rangers fans? And a Pens fan, too? Seems fair enough to me.
