Bye bye big intangible, we hardly knew thee

[dforant1]

Egg, was mostly anti Celtic. Ainge couldn't do anything to satisfy her. 
Notice a couple of others are not as vocal since we have been winning. 
What's up with that?

Maybe you shouldn't lurk so much. Contribute your thoughts, for or against. 
Take a stand, don't let others do it for you. Why don't you have the right? 
For God's sake, it's only a Sports list. The Egg types may have been 
inventions to stir the pot.
