Boston Must Be Stopped

Quoted in the AP today (via the Miami Herald), Jerry O’Connell has had enough:
“I’m sick of Boston winning so much. It’s like a monopoly,” the actor told The Associated Press on Saturday as he partied with friends at Maxim magazine’s sprawling pre-Super Bowl party.
O’Connell, who stars in ABC’s comedy “Carpoolers,” jokingly called for some serious intervention if Boston’s teams monopolize all sports championships.
“It looks like the Celtics are going to win the season as well,” O’Connell said. “If the Boston Bruins, the NHL team, wins, the federal government has to break them up. They have to take a team away - they have to.”
Geez… If he thinks Boston deserves the attention of the U.S. Federal government, just imagine how he’d feel if the Detroit Red Wings were on his radar…
(And they should be—O’Connell looked a bit like an Anaheim Ducks fan last June...)

hubris: noun.
definition: Overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance.
New York Giants took care of that.

This just might be a trend for 2008: the year of the underdog.
With the way the Wings are playing, EVERY one will want to knock off the Wings...and they ain’t the Cup champs neither!
Here’s hoping the Wings will have that underdog mentality and hunger when the playoffs roll around.
