Miami fans must be smarter than Boston fans...there were guys here who
wanted to see the Celtics *re-sign* this joker after last season.
And 'I played in Boston, so I've seen the worst'? **** you AW...you
got a lot more love here than you deserved. If I had been in charge
you would have been buried UNDER the Fleet, or the Shawmut, or the TD
North, or whatever the hell its called this week (memo - I absolutely
and positively REFUSE to attach the word 'Garden' to this building.
Never. Its never going to happen. Not with any qualifier, like a
cor****ate name, or the word 'new' or anything. In fact, if they
planted a rose garden in front...I would call it a rose grouping, or a
rose gathering place, just to avoid using the word Garden in
conjunction with this place.)
(One more side rant...may I just be thankful that the 'Jungle', which
was used a couple of years ago in the playoffs, never caught on. The
cheerleaders, Lucky, the Jumbotron, all of these knocked off about 10
years from my life, if they had succeeded in calling the building the
'Jungle'...which may be the worst attempt at marketing EVER...I think I
would have died right there on the spot)
