This is the year of our discontent for us New York sports fans and I state this recognizing that the Giant's won the Super Bowl, which I consider, with all due respect, a fluke win.
First the Red Sox win the World Series (it pains me just to type those words). Then the Patriots go on their 19 game run (editors note: as previously proclaimed, I love Tom Brady, who first and foremost is a Michigan man. Actually, he's a ladies man first, Michigan man second, Patriot third). Then the freaking Celtic's go out and win the NBA title by utterly demolishing the Lakers (and thereby settling the Kobe vs. Jordan argument once and for all). It's all enough to make a guy want to quit sports.
All that being said, I teach my kids every day that sportsmanship is absolutely key and trumps winning, so I guess I should heed my own words and be magnanimous about it all.
So -- congrats, City of Boston, on an epic year. Well done, all around.
May it occur again in 1,000 years.

I have only four words and two initials for you How: At least LA didn't win.
And feel free to substitue the initials N and Y for L and A, respectively, at least as far as baseball is concerned.
