Re: Steve Beauregard come on down, and other amusements from an u gly loss

Cecil,

Celts actually played a good game. With our talent and management IQ this is
as good as it gets. Get real. The refs don't like Boston mainly because of
the whining of Toine. He's like a whinny wife. He ranks on top with the
other droolers.

A boycott? Celtic fans would watch the Stooges play as long as they had a
green jersey on. In NY Sports these guys with exception of a few would be
flipping burgers.
