Boston, thanks for the Revolutionary War, but thats about it

What does the city of Boston put in their water? In all seriousness, is there a sport this city doesn’t dominate? Boston continued its dominance last night with a sweep of the Montreal Canadians, and I think it’s fair to say the Bruins are the team to beat for Stanley’s Cup.

As the supremacy persists, Boston gets easier and easier to detest. On the flip side, it’s a great time to be a Boston/Massachusetts fan with teams like the New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Boston University’s hockey team to root for. Every year, the city and its fans have some kind of championship to cheer about, and it’s extremely irritating. It’s not necessarily infuriating that they have won championships; it’s the way they have done so, as well as having to listen to the earsplitting and intolerable Bostonians.

Just when you thought Boston fans might have to keep their mouths shut for awhile, the BoSox make history by coming back from a 3-0 series deficit in the 2004 ALCS, setting them up for a World Series Championship. That same year, the New England Patriots won a Super Bowl. A couple years down the road, this whole Operation Spygate led by con artist Bill Belichek is released to the media, and it appears the Patriots were cheating when they defeated the Eagles for the championship. The fact that this championship win wasn’t questioned more and that Bill Belichek got a slap on the wrist is exceptionally infuriating. What if this was a poker game? If you are caught cheating in a card game, your’e getting tossed out, probably getting your ass kicked, and getting banned from playing again. Throw this swindle out of the league; it makes me sick that this was handled so lightly. If the Patriots were my team I wouldn’t even be able to boast about the Super Bowl win, but of course the Bostonians had no problem doing so. Congrats, you won as a result from cheating.

A watered down form of cheating, the Celtics acquired Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett last season and soon enough everyone’s a Cs fan while Boston fans are bragging about the best record in the NBA. What do you expect when you stack a team like that? After winning the Finals, ‘The Big Ticket’ screams “anything is possible!!!” It’s real difficult to win it all when you put arguably the prettiest shooter and best big with Paul Pierce. My gears are grinding just thinking about it. And Boston fans; how can you honestly like Kevin Garnett. I’m thankful I don’t have to watch this tool in the postseason again.

As if this wasn’t enough, Boston University Men’s Hockey pulled the marvelous comeback a couple of weeks ago. Down 3-1 with a minute to play in the Championship, Boston came back to send the game into OT, which led to an eventual win and ‘Miracle on Ice’ comparisons. Gag me.

God damn, they just won’t go away. Boston is like an annoying fly buzzing around your ear. I hope the worst for the Bruins in the NHL playoffs, as well as every other team from the state of Massachusetts. Sooner or later that fly is going to run out of gas or get swatted…I’m hoping for the latter.
