Many thanks for all those articles!  Read every one of them.  And, also 
thanks to everyone who had something to say.  Read all of them, too.

Yesterday's incredible win capped off an excellent sports day for me.  The 
right Boston team won and the right Boston team lost.

I'm sure most here know that Eric Williams, who is a Celtic, played at 
Providence College and is a big Yankee fan.  He should be my favorite 
player anywhere as those are my only three sports teams!

I've been a Providence College fan since 1963 (ran in the family.  I have a 
scorecard from the 1960 that was my sister's that has John Thompson's 
autograph on it when he played for them).  A Yankee fan since 1960.  And a 
Celtics fan since 1965 (the first game I ever heard was the 1965 Havlicek 
stole the ball game.  I was with my parents where we were staying for the 
World's Fair and I turned on the radio with about a minute left in the game.)

I was at the Providence Civic Center in January 1995 when Eric Williams led 
a big second half comeback against Syracuse.  Unfortunately, Lawrence 
Mouton hit a 3-pointer with 3 second left to win it for Syracuse by a point.

Larry Bird, in the movie Celtic Pride, delivers the lines  "Fans like you 
make me sick:  you love us when we're winning and you hate us when we're 
losing.  It's pathetic."
