Still haven't. Tell me what your biggest tourism attraction is? Seriously. I want to know.
Since we've never met, how do you know what my values are? Stop trying to use it as a scape goat. Anyone that's a democrat must be an Northeast Elitist too, right?
I love Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and even enjoy Texas, but I guess that means I'm a Northeast elitist...
Originally posted by Davo: I never said I consider it the most exciting sporting event, but many people do. Perhaps your disdain for college baseball is more evidence of your northeast elitism. Since there are never any good Boston teams, then the sport is boring. 
Actually, both BC and Northeastern typically have some good College Baseball teams. Not great, but noteworthy. Additionally, we've got the Cape Cod league over here. You may have heard of it. If not, do a little research and get back to me. That's some GREAT baseball. College, not so much.
Originally posted by Davo: You asked for something that Nebraska has. I gave. Don't excuse it.
I didn't excuse it. In fact, I acknowledged it. However, if you read my original question, I asked about a city worth mentioning. The best you've given me is Omaha with the College World Series. Comeon. Even you've got to admit you're stretching.
Originally posted by Davo: Anaheim Angels? Anaheim is to LA what New England is to Boston. If you consider the Patriots a 'Boston' team, then I will consider the Anaheim Angels an LA team.
Certainly this is not the same. LA has a baseball team, Anahiem also has a Baseball team. When Hartford had a Hockey team, we didn't consider them part of Boston, now did we? Where was the New England Patriots parade? Oh that's right, it took place in downtown Boston. The very same place ALL 3 Celebrations have taken place.
Where was Anahiem's celebration parade? Give up? It was in Disneyland. Where is Disney Land? Anaheim CA! Not exactly the same, now is it. But it sure would have fit your arguement nicely. Nice try though. I swear, if there is anyone that likes to twist facts more than you, I certainly haven't met them.
Originally posted by Davo: I can. You're forgetting about the Anaheim Angels. Didn't forget, it just doesn't apply. Again, don't loosely apply your standards only when they benefit you the most.
How have I done this? I think I'm sticking pretty damn close to them. Also, something you should know. The BOSTON Red Sox are supported by ALL of New England. With Boston being sort of the Capital of New England. In fact, the BOSTON Red Sox have taken the WORLD SERIES TROPHY to EVERY STATE IN NEW ENGLAND. So, when I mentioned that BOSTON is dominating in sports, I think most people UNDERSTOOD that as New England Professional Sports. But, since you like to nitpick, I'll let you continue to [censored] about it.
Originally posted by Davo: Celtics a great team? Someone pick me up off the floor. The LOS ANGELES Lakers have 3 championships in the last 5 years. The Celtics have none. To even think about putting the Celtics of the last five years in the same category as the Lakers of the last five years is completely insane. And the only reason they're making a playoff run now is because their conference is so bad they couldn't even compete with the Big 10.
I certainly wasn't refering to the Celtics in the last few years. I was thinking back more to the 80s. They were a great team. Hey, we can't win them all in the same year. Otherwise our entertainment budgets would be through the roof.
As I said before, stop ignoring the facts, and let's move along. Piss away all you want, but I'm done.
