OT: The Other Sports Thread VII - NBA Finals: Raptors vs Warriors

[PaulD]

It seemed to me that experience played factor as the Rams offense looked tentative at times and could not adjust to the Pats defense. Goff certainly didnt seem comfortable tonight and it resulted in an interception at a vital time. One has to wonder how different this game would have been with the Saints and Brees as the opponent.

Different game. Same winner.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Everyone that wanted the Pats to lose is saying the same thing.

I thought it was a great.

Even most Patriots' fans thought it was a bad game. It wasn't even that the defense was great, it was that the offense on both teams with inept.

Pair that with Maroon 5 being the most vanilla, safe, boring band around and it made for a very uninteresting evening of football.

At least my chicken chili was great.

I have to admit son is a Saints fan so if they had made the Super Bowl we would have had to watch it thankfully they didn’t make it

Yes of course. As a fan of the team, god forbid winning a boring game to win a championship. Oh the horror.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

I do think BB is likely the greatest coach of all time. I couldn't get into the game though, everything was boring for me, the game, the half time show, all of it.

 

[Runner77]

I wanna read more about the Pats even if the Super Bowl is done. I want to be able to post of clip of the inevitable beer can hitting the Vince Lombardi trophy, as flung by a drunken fan during the celebrations in Boston.

 

[Habsawce]

Different sports. I hate the Bruins , love the Pats and are indifferent toward the Red Sox and Celtics

But yeah it's a bit weird having Bruins fans as allies when i talk football and as enemies when i talk hockey. But hey it is what it is haha

It's not allowed man, figure your shit out.

Been a Habs fan since early 70's. Pats fan since the late 70's. Steve Grogan days. I recall getting laughed at by my buddies at 85 Superbowl party when the Bears trounced the Pats. That was the first trip to the Bowl for New England. Who's laughing now!

My brothers Cowboys and Steelers fans. I was a teen ager and picked Pats for one reason. They wore the same colors as the Canadiens.

The city of Bawston with another parade guys........the Sox, now the Pats...this city has had a ton of parades since 2001-present. Got to give their teams and fans their due, it's a sports crazy city, and the fans do an amazing job supporting their teams.

While I agree that it's a great sports town, it's super easy to support teams that consistently win championships. Just look at how many bandwagon fans you see posting on Facebook when the Habs win two playoff games here.

Agreed...........but the support they get from their fans is crazy...Boston is not even considered a big city, according to most US cities, and they sellout their stadiums for all 4 major sports....amazing....makes me feel dirty even giving those fans credit.

If I lived in the states I would choose Boston. Seems like a great city.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

How can you be a fan of a Boston and Montreal based team?

Montreal doesn't have an NFL team - one of the options is the Patriots. I watch a lot of AFC East and NFC East games - it's pretty normal for Montrealers to root for teams in those divisions - especially the Giants, Jets and Patriots.

Greater Boston area is 4.7 million people. Toronto, which is the biggest city in Canada by a country mile is 6.4 million when you add in the surrounding area.

Not a real surprise they can sell out sporting events, 4.7M is a lot of people.

It's beautiful actually. I've visited many times and it's a cool place to visit.

I mean, I hate the Bruins and everything about them from their players to the mortar used to lay their bricks to the arena, but I got no issue with the city, its other teams and the people (other than the Bruins fans on game day).

I'll be in Atlanta next weekend and just picked up a pair of tickets for the AAF game there next Sunday. Second row from the field at at 25 yard line cost me $40 USD per seat. Just in case anyone is wondering what the prices are like. But probably no one is.

Boston and San Diego are my two favourite US cities for sure.

If you name a top 25-30 metropolitan area in the US I've probably visited or spent time there. That said, I agree on SD. My best friend got married in San Diego and lives there permanently now. I think it's the best place to live in the US personally.

@Le Tricolore

Can you perhaps update the thread's title and remove the SB sub-title from it?

Sure. Went with that for now. I figure I may as well throw a bone to the people who like basketball.

I'd be one of those.

Thanks!

holy crap!

300 total for 10 years. It's actually not that far off from what Boras was trying to get if memory serves. You had to figure a GM was gonna just cave in at some point.

 

[Habs4Lyfe]

now let's see what Harper is gonna get...

 

[GoodKiwi]

UNC@Duke tonight. 9PM EST on TSN2. You should watch.

I'm actually about 50 miles away from Cameron Indoor Stadium right now.
