LA had a better run in the 80's than Boston has had this decade. Dodgers were only MLB team to win twice in the 80's. Lakers won it in 80, 82, 85, 87, and 88. Were finalists in 83, 84, and 89. Raiders won Superbowl in 1984. I think USC was National co-champ in 1980. So, you are ahead in football.

Any of those Laker teams of the 80's would cream the Celtics of this year. So far, they are a one year phenom that won't last. Red Sox matched the 80's Dodgers this decade. Sure, they have a great shot to keep winning, but let them prove it. Of course, you are an admitted bandwagon fan of both the Celtics and the Red Sox, so enjoy them while they last. The Bruins? I don't follow hockey closely or know if you are loyal or not, or how good they are or have been. I just know the Ducks were better named as the Mighty Ducks. I was sorry they couldn't win the Stanley Cup until after they changed the team mascot.

The Pats? I really don't know how the league stacks up and don't really care. That's where your future hopes lie.

The last part I quoted you on, TMI!
