This is so far removed from the crushing defeat days. When I was a kid I had a cartoon cut-out up my wall for years that had a guy on the phone saying "oh no ma..I don't get that upset about sports anymore" in the background his TV was pushed through the wall, a Don Zimmer photo was pinned to his dart board, and Celtic, Bruins, and Patriot banners were in a mini bonfire on his floor. I really felt that way too, caring way too much about Boston sports in the 70's and 80's. I pity the poor New England sports fans that do not get to suffer (build character) as we 40 year olds did. They could turn out to be tomorrow's Yankee Fans of this turn of this century, completely unequiped to handle disaster
