Super Sunday has been my Christmas Day for 12/15 years now.
Gotta tell you John60ri...I fancy myself as big a sportsfan as their is...my life revolves around sports...all of it...watch 7/10 college basketball games a week, this time of year. And plenty of Bs and Cs. If I have learned one thing over the years...talking to people locally, and travelling to an endless numebr of road games...People here in New England just are not sports fans. Oh, they like to pretend like they are. But, truth be told, they are Red Sox/ Patriots/Bruins/Celtic fans...and that's not the same thing. They are home team fans, but not overall fans of the sports. And, sadly, most are fair weather fans...team has to be winning for them to care. News flash...the NE Patriots existed before 2001. I remember game after game sitting in the old stadium, with 35/40 K fans...real fans. And loved it...2-14? Who cares...it was NFL football.
And Red Sox "pink haters"???? You can have 'em!
Anyway...my plans...leaving this very second for TD Garden...The Fours sports bar for 12:30 NHL Hockey game, and 1PM Ohio State college hoop...going to Celtic's game at 2:30...then back to NH...the four of us will join up with another group of 8...12 hard core football fans, watching game at a house party...all with good size action on the line. Christmas Day, baby!
