That nod to a ditty so mindlessly craptacular is surprisingly apropos, and about all you need to know about today's hatefest, a patented CHB special that takes shotgun-style aim at the Bruins, Red Sox, sports fans, Celtics and Patriots. Oh, and Hank Finkel too.
Sample flame: "The embarrassing, ill-prepared 2014 Red Sox were never taken to task this year. Boston fans soaked up NESN happy talk, paid the highest prices in baseball, sang “Sweet Caroline,” and enjoyed watching “the kids” finish in last place. After all, those lovable, cuddly Sox won the World Series in 2013. They won three in 10 years. So there’s no need for accountability anymore."
All this in a column about Bruins' opening night, mind you.
Keep in mind The CHB was all praises for the Red Sox in spring training, and his chief complaint about the Patriots and Bruins is that they have been too good for too long.
Look around, Mr. Historian: No one always wins in the current era of team sports. Three Super Bowls in four years, or three World Series crowns in 10 years, is today's gold standard, and if you can't at least appreciate that, I have some puppies, a bag and a map to the river. Knock yourself out.
By the way, the Bruins won the game. And never was heard an encouraging word.

ReplyDeleteWho's he kidding? He was trashing the Red Sox two weeks into the season! The Red Sox lost the first game of the 2014 season, and how did he describe Game 2?
Wednesday night, however, just became a Must Win for the Olde Town Team.
He's really taking the Red Sox fans for stupid, forgetful chumps when he writes demonstrably false crap like that.
