Beantown Beatdown


BIGGEST TURN-AROUND IN NBA HISTORY
06-07: 24 wins 58 loses
07-08: 66 wins 16 loses

BIGGEST BLOW OUT IN A NBA CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING GAME
131-92 (39 points)

NBA LEADING 17th CHAMPIONSHIP

FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP WON IN BOSTON IN 22 YEARS (last time Celtics won the NBA championship)


As ecstatic as I am about 2 of 'my teams' winning national championships this year (Jayhawks + Celtics), I would trade them in a heartbeat for either the Chiefs or Royals to win one as well . . . a dreamer can dream can't he ???

(and yes Jason, I would trade ALL OF THAT for just one Cubs World Series Championship before I die, after I die I won't really care about that or much of anything else . . . 2008 Anno Catuli !!!)

Fare Thee Well

I missed just a few Meet The Press shows in the past 10 years or so.
Stella has 'seen' almost every Meet The Press in her 11 months.
Along with CBS's 'Sunday Morning', this was our ritual.
Sunday mornings will not be the same.
Politics in America will not be same.
