I've used that shorthand my whole life. It hardly seems objectionable and frankly seems like a pretty petty objection to raise, especially in the context.<BR/><BR/>dcatdcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921385244556780254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14383626.post-60305515165202922132008-06-19T22:32:00.000-05:002008-06-19T22:32:00.000-05:00Can I ask a question?

This is a pretty likeable C's team. i can see how some would hate, say, the Patriots. but outside of LA (and maybe detroit, Cleveland and Atlanta) it's tough to see really developing a hatred for that group of guys. <BR/> You need to get some talent around Bron. Do that and I expect Cleveland to be back in the finals (once the Three Amigos have retired, of course.)<BR/><BR/>dcatdcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921385244556780254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14383626.post-29837499286167924602008-06-19T17:06:00.000-05:002008-06-19T17:06:00.000-05:00Slice -- The texts and calls were great, except he...Slice --<BR/> The texts and calls were great, except here is a transcript of the typical phone call:<BR/><BR/>Me: What's Up!

To watch a grown man cry (Garnett, not me) as he yells "ANYTHING'S POSSIIIIBLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEE!!!" at the top of his lungs after winning it all for your favorite team, I can't describe it.<BR/><BR/>Great post, thanks for all the links, and thanks for sharing many of the moments throughout that very special evening via cell phone and texts.Rich Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05148345832095334490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14383626.post-77809874278911108352008-06-19T12:18:00.000-05:002008-06-19T12:18:00.000-05:00Though I am certainly annoyed with Boston/New Engl...Though I am certainly annoyed with Boston/New England sports teams and frustrated with my own teams, I have to give props to the C's. They brought it the whole season and playoffs (with a couple stumbles on the way), and deserved to win.
