the Red Sox moved their night game to 4:00 so they could enjoy it too.

There is so much that is confusing in this thread....

I thought the bruins were basketball? I finally had to start looking this crap up.

And dammit frank, throwing the red sox reference in this made me worry for a few moments that I was incorrect in thinking they were baseball.

Supersonics, yes... because my cousins from oregon would call them the supersuckers or something like that when I was in grade school. Never heard of the pilots

Nice guess.

Supersonics had a very popular player who was featured on billboards when you were a kid...Slick Watts.
Wore a sweatband on his bald head.

No idea.... I remember some blond guy.... That's it. I may have actually seen one of their games as a child. Maybe.

Have you ever read his book about his relationship with Red? If you haven't I think you would enjoy it.

Congrats to the Blues.
I like the st Louis fans. They treat sports right.

And no discussion about the officiating.

Bettman still sicks.

Glad o'Reilly won Conn Smith.

And binnington should be my avatar.

were you a small kid who had a late growth spurt?
sounds like you're kind of a big guy, swimmer, rugby, both take some strength and athleticism...didn't coaches try to recruit you in school?

Red and Me. I have an autographed copy that my sil (works for the Celts) got me...ironic in that when I was a kid and had read his first book, Go Up For Glory, he would look over and right through me when I waited for an autograph after Sunday afternoon games.

St. Louis...I am old enough to remember the Celtics playing the very competitive St. Louis (pre-Atlanta) Hawks featuring the great Bob Pettit. An early and worthy challenger at the start of Russell's/Celtics' unmatched dynasty.

No. But my mother didn't watch much tv at all, let alone sports, and my father usually was at work (at 80 he still works 6 days a week), so he never had time to watch tv (or any interest in sports, I think I watched him watch one football game in my life, and I still don't know why he did). As a child I was allowed very little tv, I wasn't about to blow all of it on watching a sport I didn't understand.
I've never had great hand-eye coordination, so while I did attempt basketball (I was taller than most of the children) I wasn't good at it. And I was terrible at soccer. But I was very good at swimming. By the time I was old enough for school related sports (jr high?) I was training every evening and had 3x a week 5am practices. By high school I had 3 different practices to go to some day. And by then, I looked at football as being slow and lazy. they stopped to rest every couple seconds, while my main event was a mile swim. Of course, I also wouldn't have been of any interest to a football team. Because of the training I had to eat 5,000 calories a day just to maintain my 5% bodyfat. I was just under 6'2" and 185lbs.
Contrast that to 220lbs now, something I consider way too fat.

Long story short.... I wasn't exposed to the idea of watching sports as a child. By the time I got old enough to have done it myself, I simply had no time or desire to watch someone else exercise. Between swimming, orchestra and homework, and the occasional lifeguard job, there were many days I would be in 3 different pools until 10pm, finally get home, practice my cello until 11, do homework until 12 and then be up at 4:30am for training. My weekends were always busy wtih something....

Yes, it is a coincidence. Binnington won it for the Blues. I think the Bruins had a legit gripe over the tripping no call in game 5. fog

god no, I was terrible at cello. I was expected to maintain it as an extracurricular so I could use it in college applications. Once I went to college I didn't touch it again. 8 years of orchestra in school, private cello lessons, youth orchestra.... I was still tone deaf.

Tail likes to keep the door closed. It helps him pretend it's a woman on the other side of the glory hole.
