Re: My Bitch Is

["Dan Forant" <dforant1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Like John Wayne would say "Wadda ya mean Pilgrim" Look, I look at each game
and make an assessment upon what my eyes tell me. Of course I'm reactionary.
When the Celts suck or Toine hurts the team like last nite, why not say so?
I'm a Celtic fan but not a Green Bleeder. I call it as I see it. What do you
want me to do reform? :>)
