Going through baby pictures of mine I came across one that stood out. Not even a year old with a Celtics shirt draped over my back as I was napping on the couch in Spain, where my mother was stationed at the time. I’m not your traditional New England sports fan. In fact, no one from my family is from the area and the only person that ever lived there was myself when I attended Berklee College of Music in 2007. Pair that experience with a father who preached the principals of Larry Bird and I became a Bostonian (I get to choose where I’m from…Army brat).

I recently started working for the AFL team here in town and I am constantly badgered for wearing my Green and White after beating the Magic. Too much fun. As much as I love enemy territory I have my long term sights set on returning to the place that sparked my undying love for sports, but more importantly, the Celtics.

WHAT WE KNOW The Boston-New York rivalry continues to evolve as playing fields are leveled with the seemingly insurmountable upgrade of the Boston Red Sox and the historically streaking New York Knicks.

Credit is Due

Roughly 22 percent into the regular season and credit must be given where it is due. Danny Ainge is a genius that Bill Simmons and I owe an apology. In an offseason when the Celtics President of Basketball Operations signed an extremely (or what seemed to be) aged Shaquille O’Neal who was tossed around like [...]
