New Title Town USA?

I just want to take this opportunity to thank the NY Giants once again for defeating the then undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl. Oh yeah, congratulations to the Boston Celtics on winning their 17th championship too.

If the Giants hadn't defeated the Patriots, the Red Sox, Patriots and Celtics would hold championships in the three major sports at the same time. Give me a break Boston. We never want to hear another complaint from a Boston sports fan.

For years we heard about the Red Sox and the curse of Babe Ruth. For years, all the Pats had to hang their hat on was the 1985 Super Bowl where they were blasted by the Chicago Bears. For years, the Celtics had been trying to recapture the glory days of Bird, Parish and McHale. Well, you know what Boston, you're on top of the sports world now. No more complaints, no more here we go agains, no more tortured sports town. You are the new Title Town USA.

Enjoy it, everyone else around the country now despises you for all this winning.

Congrats to the Celtics. They were a bad team for years, but made a couple of bold moves (actually not too bold, I mean, who wouldn't want KG on their team?) and got themselves a championship. To take nothing away from them winning, I really enjoyed seeing Paul Pierce get the trophy along with Louisiana natives P.J. Brown and Glen "Big Baby" Davis, but I don't enjoy watching a team that's been together for one year win as much as I do a group of guys who have been playing together for years, climbing the mountain together and finally getting over that hump. Its almost like seeing the Florida Marlins put together their World Series teams. Yay, you did it, but you were supposed to.

Not winning the championship would have been more of a story, but at least we didn't have to watch Kobe Bryant raise the trophy. One good thing to come out of this NBA Finals (of which I made have watched a total of 30 minutes, mostly during Game 6), is that the Kobe/Michael Jordan comparisons will be put to bed. Anyone who brings that comparison up again will be ridiculed instead of opening up a series discussion about Kobe's merits. Jordan always won on the biggest stage. Kobe's team's have now lost the last two NBA Finals that he's been in. Case closed.
