Massholes Respond to Boston Dominance

This morning I emailed one of my most beloved friends from my Boston College days to get his take on last night's near dethroning of America's Team.  The following is the response I received from Jimmy "The Bucket" who is originally from Brockton.  Or maybe it's Dorchester?  It really doesn't matter where as long as you know it's one of those places where every person in town sounds like they should be working on the Andrea Gale.

Rikki, [editors note: I think that's me, although I'm not sure.]

Tape THIS! Was there ever a glimmer of optimism in Philly last night? Did The 700Level ever seriously consider that “There’s Something About A.J.” Feeley would overwhelm Lancelot and the knights of the Patriot table? Seriously, Rikki.

I will say that 23.5 (hitting 24.5 by game time) was a gross spread. This is the NFL, albeit the NFC. And Philly found a way to penetrate the secretively soft underbelly of The Juggernaut: Its linebackers are an aggregate age 183 when they play 3, 232 when they play 4. I loved how Madden kept yammering about Junior Seau and his octogenarian pass coverage, while Feeley is living over the middle, bang bang bang. And why is it that Belichick and Pioli can’t put together a fully sound defensive backfield? Maybe I’m asking too much. This team is the equivalent of that all-star swimsuit edition cover that SI put out a couple years back. You can nip and tuck where you like, but overall the package is pretty damned breath-taking. You try to stop Elle Macpherson, Marissa Miller hits you on an out-pattern for 15 yards and the first.

Whatever. Great fight by the Eagles. Coach Reid deserves to celebrate after a heroic effort like that. (Psssssst, Andy, try the second drawer down in the boys’ bathroom. Take two with a few draws on the Rubinoff, call us on Wednesday.)

Fondly,

Boston Steve

P.S. Rikki, I also wanted to add a little line about what a feeling it is to be a World Series champion. What a feeling it is to be a World Series champion. You go six months with a team and it rewards you with a warm championship embrace. It’s good to be the kings.

I fucking hate boston

Boston used to be my second favorite city behind philly, but recently their sports and its fans are causing it to drop. they don't even have a crappy sports team to point out. god they suck monkey balls

[Eers_Eers_Eers]

...so cocky. Go 16-0, playoffs are different.

What pisses me off is that Boston fans bitched and moaned for so long and now all they do is flaunt it in your face that they win. We get it, there are good teams in Boston, but when is it THAT hard to admit that your team was pretty well taken care of last night? Yes, the Patriots won last night and they are by far the best team in the NFL, but you can't admit a close call and give the Eagles some props and not:

"Coach Reid deserves to celebrate after a heroic effort like that. (Psssssst, Andy, try the second drawer down in the boys’ bathroom. Take two with a few draws on the Rubinoff, call us on Wednesday.)"

Boston fans can take their teams and shove them up their asses. I'm sick and tired of their attitudes. F*CK BOSTON!

"You go six months with a team and it rewards you with a warm championship embrace."

Only six months with the team? Sounds like a bandwagoner to me.

They are so exhausting.

I liked Boston fans a lot better when they were miserable bastards, like me.

Act like you've been there before, Beantown. You're becoming Yankees fans faster than the Yankees fans did.

I have come to the conclusion that boston fans fall into the same category as dallas and new york fans. they are cockroaches, little creepy bugs that only come out when their teams are winning. all i know is, Philly teams aren't always great, or even decent, but we are still here, and we always will be.

agreed kyle a. the year we went to the superbowl I would always say 3-13 and remind people that only few seasons before that was our record but we were still there selling out the vet
