17
For me and sports this has been one hell of a decade.....The 1900's NOT so much.
From the year i was born (1963) to 1999, The Bruins won two Standley Cups.....but it was 1970 (don't remember at all) and 1972 and vaguely remember the playoffs. I know i watched a lot of games thru snowy TV 38 and IDOLIZED Bobby Orr. Outside of the Celts success in the 70's and the 80's where the playoffs were an annual part of my spring drives home from college in Arizona. The Pats outside of their one run to the Super Bowl in 86' were awful and the Sox....well no since going over the 86 year thing....which brings us to the 2000's......................:
THe Pats with the three super bowls.....my love for Manchester United....three English Premier titles and the Champions League last month....The Sox in 04' and 07'
I was amazed as i watched the Celtics as to how FAR i had strayed from the game. How LITTLE i know about the big names in the NBA....but i found as the rounds fell away, that my old attachment to the team returned. I was giggling and almost tearing up last night watching Ray Allen hit three after three. As i said to my father, it made me want to go home and shoot jump shots in my driveway, AND it brought me back to the game. banner number 17...
Like i said....for me and sports....It's been a pretty good decade so far...One that still has 18 months left.....
hmmmm....GO Bruins?
