Ford and his team picks

[Snoopy the Celtics Beagle <snoopy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's weird, really.  According to Ford, the C's are neither good enough to 
be playoff contenders in the EC, nor are they listed among the five worst 
teams in the conference.  His only mention of them was to suggest a trade 
between Boston and Chicago that was ridiculous even before it was rendered 
totally impossible.

Based on what he has--and to some degree, has NOT--said, Ford obviously 
believes the Celtics to be the worst kind of team in the NBA.  A mediocre 
one.  Not good enough to be winners, not bad enough to be rebuilders, not 
even worth serious trade talk, to hear the emptiness issued from Ford on 
the subject of the Celtics.

I have no idea what was said or done to annoy him.  Maybe he had bad clams 
once.  Maybe he and Byron Scott were roomies.  Maybe he was unfortunate 
enough to be driven somewhere by Red Auerbach.  But what in the name of 
Linus and Lucy was so terrible that he takes the lead among sports 
columnists in taking every chance to bad-mouth Boston--on those rare 
occasions when he mentions the Celtics at all?

I should be more mature, I tell myself.  We're big enough to take a few 
insults, as a well-known engineer once said.  Then I remember that anyone 
who refers to himself as a beagle isn't necessarily expected to be mature.

So I'm REALLY looking forward to the day--preferably this upcoming 
June--then I update the CBW to include a 'nyahh, nyahh, nyahh' by name of 
every sportswriter, columnist and professional pundit who dismissed my 
team.  With quotes showing how wrong they were, except Ford, who will be 
easy to remember. for while most of the "pros" said nothing of consequence 
about the C's, at least he didn't waste space doing it....  :>))

I didn't say that the Lakers should be HAULING garbage.... :>)
