I've been lucky. Incredibly lucky. I've lived to see some of the best players and teams in sports history. The Celtics of the Bird era, and the '86 Celtics, who I would put up against just about any team. Clearly, IMHO, a top 3 team all time.
Roger Clemens to Pedro Martinez might be the greatest pitching hand-off in baseball history. Pedro at his best was sheer artistry.
But I've always been primarily a football fan, and there were alot of years of suffering with the joke that was the Patriots. Now I"m living large and loving it.
And you HAVE to appreciate it. We thought the Celtics would be good forever. They always had been -- winning at least 2 titles, and usually more, in each of the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. It's been 15 years of total suckitude since the end of the Bird era, however, and for most of those the team wasn't even worth watching.
So I tell all my friends -- enjoy this now. RIGHT NOW. This is the Packers of the 50s-60s, the Steelers of the 70s and the Niners of the 80s that we have here. It won't last, so don't miss a minute of it, and NEVER take it for granted.
