Re: Boston Herald: Celtics Not Shopping Walker At The Moment

[Josh Ozersky <josh_ozersky@yahoo.com>]

No need to wonder on that score.  Anyone that thinks
we lost out in the Mercer deal, or that we should have
traded Antoine is an open-and-shut know-nothing, and
Jim Rome's and Jackie McMullan's presence proves that
even more.  I expect to be lectured on civics for
saying this, but I really have no respect for that
opinion -- it's on a par with dancing for the
jumbotron.  And when I see that Alex Wang and you and
Jim Mennino and all the BC cognescenti concur, it only
confirms something I know to my core anyway.  If those
idiots voted in a 99-1 margin, I would still be just
as right and they would still be just as dumb.  I wish
the Celtics were more of a cult thing, I really do.
