Good thing that we can count on the Bruins to keep losing.
On the funny side I'm playing in a hockey league with some of them. The name of the league? "Yankees Suck" They are sooo predictable.

I bet 7 out of every 10 Yahoo fantasy baseball public leagues has one team named "Yankees suck".
Seriously, I think we all need to think of better derogatory chants/songs than just "[Opponents] suck".
I'm as die-hard as it gets.. been living and dying with the Sox, Pats Celts and B's since about 1972. I also respect good fans of all other teams, most certainly Yankees fans. I've said many times, here and elsewhere, I'd rather have a beer and talk baseball with a diehard Yankee fan than a bandwagon Sox fan.
But I'm as proud as I can be. And I've been through enough droughts (like the 16-year, zero-championships period between the Celtics NBA title in Spring 1986 and the Patriots first SB win in Jan 2002)... to appreciate what's going on today with the Sox and Pats, as well as Boston College and a revamped Celts team that might actually contend this year.
It actually bothers me a little that the rest of the world hates us, but I'm helpless to change it. Like I said though, I won't let that fact diminish the happiness I get from my favorite sports teams' success ONE BIT.

That's funny because every Boston fan I've ever met says the same exact phony BS. That they've been a fan since the 70s, no championships, so sad... but look at us now we are the best at baseball, football, basketball, cricket, blah, blah, blah.

Classy reply, Yoda.
Yep just like every Boston fan I've ever met.

Who are they playing cricket against? I think you left off curling and egg-and-spoon racing.
