Bourque asked to be traded and the Bruins obliged.
You call someone a "typical New England sports fan" and then bleat on about something that a happened 80 years ago? That sounds pretty "typical" to me.
I'll give you that letting Clemens get away was a mistake.
it happened to a new england team right? yes.
look what happened to the redsox after we got rid of him....80 years ago!
NOTHING....has happened....nothing. so yes, i mention something that happened 80 years ago because its still affecting the team now.....yes i believe in the curse.
I mentioned Bourque was a different scenario.
Clemens...yes.
Boggs...yes.
Bagwell...yes.
Sele...yes.
Should i continue? I'll try not to go too far back!
BTW...I TOTALLY AGREE with your team comment. You're absolutely right....team first. That's why I will continue to route for the Pats....but part of me (ok a lot of me) will be routing for Bledsoe when they meet twice a year...regardless of the outcome.
just my .02.....
