A Hell of a Week in Boston Sports

What the hell?  (Photo/ABC.com)

For New England sports fans, it has been a shocking week;

Former tight-end for the Pats - shipped up the fabled creek -

As a suspect in a murder, they've denied him bail.

Put cuffs on Hernandez and then hauled him off to jail.

We were all still reeling 'cause we'd lost the Stanley Cup;

Wishing doctors luck as they patched Bergeron back up.

Just begun to overcome the fact the Blackhawks won;

Moving on to baseball after hockey season's done.

Now, instead, there's murder charges... One young man is dead

And I heard, last night, as I was getting in to bed

There were 2 more murders that police have never solved.

Now they're thinking that Hernandez may have been involved.

Then - to add the cherry to this sundae made of crap -

I just heard they blew the Celtics up and I may snap.

Doc and Paul and Kevin gone and all that Boston gets?

Future draft positions? We just gave them to the Nets.

...  You need to beware - 'cause I'm gonna swear  ...

In this blog I try to keep it clean and never swear,

But this music video that I would like to share

Is profane enough to make this former sailor wince,

Yet...  It made me laugh and toes' been tapping ever since.

The Boston Celtics - 0 and 2

  I'm not optimistic for this series with the Heat

After watching last night's painful, overtime defeat.

Don't think the officiating helped us out at all...

But, I must admit, I'm not a fan of basketball.

Yes, I like the Celtics and I'm hoping that they win

(What I'm really praying for is football to begin.)

Basketball's exhausting - watching giant, sweaty men

Racing up and down and back and forth, then down again.

I'm just sitting in a chair and I am out of breath...

Celtics haven't had a rest; they've got to be near death.

'though they've played their hearts out - Rondo's been a joy to see -

I think they'll win 1 or 2.  At most - they might win 3.

Guess I shouldn't count them out.  The struggle will be fierce.

Still, we've got Garnett and Doc, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.

Even though they're tired and despite their nagging hurts

Those are proud and seasoned fighters wearing Celtics shirts.
