Wicked comeback.

Seriously, I like Boston though. It's like New York, only with worse weather, an even more annoying accent, ruder people, way way smaller, and more corrupt.

No it's not at all like New York. Boston doesn't smell like piss and vomit all the time, and planes don't crash into our buildings all that much.

Piss and vomit are signature trademarks of a great night out. And also lots of homeless people who serve to enrich the cultural experience of walking through Penn Station.

And yeah I know, Boston just supplies the planes that crash into NY's buildings. Did you have a view of Logan?

Nope, that journey started in Portland, Maine, but thank you for playing.

Last player who touches the ball before it goes out and all...

Sorry about your Brauns and your Red Socks.

bottsicus: Nana's Vibrator: mainstreet62: H31N0US: Boston is a diverse and racially tolerant city. Discuss.

I don't think Boston is racist. Quite the contrary, in fact.

Racist assholes tend to be friends with other racist assholes. It happens in real life, e-mail chains, Facebook, Twitter, you name it.

It seems to me that when a large group of people starts spouting off racist bullshiat in public, especially on the Internet with all it's anonymity, it further emboldens other racist dickheads to post as well, and unfortunately, it snowballs.

If the posters want to be outed as racist pieces of s*hit, so be it. I think it's unfair to paint an entire city with the racism brush, though.

I'd agree. We don't have hate groups up here and we don't have hate crimes. We have had concentrated areas of racism in the blue collar outskirts of Boston - mostly utilized as a red herring to get away with crime.
Who robbed you? It was a f'ing n*! (when it was really you and your brother-in-law)
Who killed your wife? It was a f'ing n*! (when it was really you.)

When trying to crack down on corrupt politicians in Boston, who did they go after and give up? 2 of the very few African Americans in Boston politics.
We could do better but we're not the South.

Sal DiMasi and Tim Cahill are African American?

You know I was writing about Wilkerson and Turner during their corruption stings.
(With DiMasi, you know it's pretty much a given that our speaker will be indicted for something. That Cahill thing was out of left field but I'm always glad when corrupt poli's are going down around here.)

Theaetetus: mainstreet62: I think it's unfair to paint an entire city with the racism brush, though.

Well, that said...

Yeah, because we all know unless a city is predominantly black like Detroit or Baltimore, it's obviously an evil race problem. We here in New England just cant wait for Boston to embrace the cultural diverse utopia those 2 urban jewels have acheived.

Okay, that's pretty awesome!

Howard Johnson is right. That hockey player is near the goal.

If you want to take it further, it started in racist Canada. And what is Canada's national treasure? No, not Alex Trebek, worst racist of them all. It's Hockey. See, it all comes full circle.

bottsicus: Warlordtrooper: Meh I'd be more pissed off that they are a team of thugs and goons.

Seriously, I mean, look at how many Bruins players were suspended and penalized for illegal hits during that playoff series. Many more than were suspended in the other series...

Wait...

Yep because Lucic on Miller was squeeky clean and in no way did Shanahan drop the ball on that.

When you go head hunting on a goaltender you do deserve to be called a team of thugs and goons.

Twatter is a giant retard magnet, so I'm not sure how this is surprising.

In other news, grats to the Caps. B's pretty much mailed it in for all 7 games, and completely deserved to lose. Bergeron gets a pass in my book for playing very obviously injured, but no one on this team should be shocked at the outcome after such a half assed group effort.

/switching over to fair weather Rangers fan mode, as I want to see a Rags / Flyers EC final... should be awesome.

fatalvenom: Old North Church, State House....ya know, many of this countries most significant historical sites.

But yeah...

Yeah, I know. Boston is a great city, I've always had a great time when I've visited. Still, WTC remarks piss me off.

Yeah, I know, I just felt like being a dick. And Cahill's actually from Quincy anyway, so I'm not sure if he counts... The thing that sucks about the Cahill thing is that it ended up taking down some decent people below him who were guilty only of bad judgement.

I wouldn't say that...Seidenberg played a tremendous series, enough so he should be elevated from "solid, underrated d-man" to "should be playing against the opposing team's top line regardless if Chara is next to him or not".

I do think Marchand has been neutered...I'm not sure if the suspension and a possible stern word from Shanaban messed with his head, but he was marginal player for most of the series and for stretches of the latter half of the regular season. His offensive game picks up when he's being an asshole. Same with Lucic...but if they're just being "scoring forwards" with minimal physicality and engagement in the "mindfark" games of assholery, they're not that effective.

"The fark did they just say"

MadMonk: The hockey player is a nig*BONG*.

The hockey player is a nig*TING*

/The quote is now hockey-friendly.

OtherLittleGuy: Braden Holtby is the bastard son of Ken Dryden and Manon Rheaume.

/that is all

You'll get to see how good he is in later rounds, when he's not facing unbelievably telegraphed and predictable point shots.

Literally any AHL goalie could have gotten the Caps to round 2.

mikaloyd: What I have learned here today.

A. Trust the three anonymous people on the internet here who say Boston is not racist rather than the hundreds on the internet elsewhere proving that it is.

B. It's not everybody in Boston who is racist., It is just certain close knit subset groupings in Boston that feed off each other's racism. Bruins fans may be one such group.

C. Someone who really hates Boston exemplified their hate by taking up the effort of compiling a list of tweets in a very short time.

Are they all even real? How does one find and compile and publish so many tweets in such a short time? Did we cover this already?

fatalvenom: I'm not sure what it's been lately, but I've laughed at quite a few of your comments and even favorited you recently.

Never thought I'd do either of those things.

Not sure why I felt the need to tell you, but there ya go.

I've had you favorited for some time now, it's the Tawmmy from Quinzee picture that did it.

Killer Cars: I wouldn't say that...Seidenberg played a tremendous series, enough so he should be elevated from "solid, underrated d-man" to "should be playing against the opposing team's top line regardless if Chara is next to him or not".

I'd agree with you there, and he's probably one of 3 players last night that actually looked like they wanted to win. Bergeron playing injured seemed to put more effort in than most of his peers. But as a whole team effort, this post season has been a failure.

good thing they aren't from the South or you Farkwits would really be busting a nut.

I thought the 4th liners played well when they got the chance, and I thought maybe Kelly or Campbell might get some chances with Bergeron and Marchand since Peverley was getting killed on faceoffs. Definitely didn't see enough out of Looch and Krejci, I honestly hope they were battling injuries or something because if that was their effort at 100% they should be embarrassed.

/Neely just kicked a dent in the mini-fridge in his office

While i will not a judge a fanbase by a few teenagers, i generally don't like Boston fans in the first place, so i don't mind that these comments make all of them look bad.

fatalvenom: I'm not sure what it's been lately, but I've laughed at quite a few of your comments and even favorited you recently.

There's actually quite a few Yankee fans I have favorited, since they roll with the various "Yankees suck/east coast bias/I hate rich payroll teams" mudslings really well...at least the ones like Yanks_RSJ that are on here often enough.

Yes we did. You can compile tweets automatically on any topic using chirpstory.

There just might be a God afterall

Of course there is a God. If there wasn't, how could Boston have been bathed in such an embarrassment of sports riches over the past 10 years? And without a God, how could the internet have been created simply for me to gloat such things to you?
God is glorious, and so is Boston's tradition of winning stuff.

How long until the breaking news story about the Leafs trading 3 first round picks to Boston for Thomas?

/I'm giving it 2, maybe 3 months

happydude45: good thing they aren't from the South or you Farkwits would really be busting a nut.

The racists in Boston are from the south. South Boston. Obi Wan wouldn't have made his comment about Mos Eisley if he had been aware of that particular neck of these woods.

fruitloop: Smiths: Something japan did that we refuse to do in America is just shame people. We like to pretend there is no shaming for any reason ever. We will never shame someone unless they are a celebrity or a politician. But average joe workers are immune from being shamed, regardless of the crap they spew and the asshattery they do.

So publishing this stuff is a start.

But shaming others doesn't work. We just shamed people about this same thing a month ago.

This is untrue.

I'm amused. I get treated like the enemy in Cincinnati as a Yankees fan and a Pens fan, because apparently all Pittsburgh teams are evil because the Steelers.

/Pens fanship dates from the early 90s when they were the geographically closest professional (NHL) team that wasn't Detroit
//Still meet that requirement actually since the Jackets are contractually obligated to suck

ontariolightning: Pittsburgh & Detroit win more championships than Boston and those aren't cities "blessed by God"


Detroit has 22 trophies across the four major leagues.
Pittsburgh has 19 across their three.

Boston has 33, with 7 in the past decade.

What metric are you using?
