Thankfully, for Celtics fans, the Green team has home court advantage throughout the playoffs. And they really needed it today to finally put the Cleveland Cavaliers away [...] Great offense is fun to watch, but killer defense is a total blast to witness.

After riding a half-century (50 miles) yesterday in blistering heat here in the Boston area, I was happy to kick back today and veg in front of the tube. My laziness was rewarded with great football and baseball [...] A friend of mine asked me today, “how many teams have won the Super Bowl?” It’s an interesting question that led me to plenty more.
