Adding Insult to Injury

Well that's embarrassing...

In case you hadn't heard, The Miami Herald included this Macy's ad in the newspaper on Monday, congratulating the Miami Heat on winning the NBA Finals.

Really?  How does something like this happen?  There was no way Miami could have won it all on Sunday night anyways.  The earliest this ad could have gone up was on Wednesday (had the Heat actually eventually won in seven games).

This is just another example to add to the long list of reasons why Miami and its fans are sub par.  I often wonder whether some of the people who showed up to the Heat games were more interested in buying an expensive white-collared shirt that would accentuate their spray tans than actually appreciating the action on the court.  As much as  Mark Cuban annoys me at times, one can tell from his over-worn navy t-shirt that he is a true fan at heart and goes to the games to root passionately.

So my departing message is directed toward the Boston Globe and The Boston Herald: Do Not Make The Same Mistake.  We are better than that here in Boston.  Let's not give anyone a chance to think otherwise.  We are knowledgable fans who show up to games in classy gear, and we know what's happening on the ice.

Unsolicited Prediction for Game 7 Tonight:  The stadium in Vancouver is eerily silent by the middle of the second period as the Bruins put up another quick early four goals, the Green Men can be seen sitting still in their seats for the first since they started their shenanigans, the Spoked-B's bring home the Stanley Cup for the first time since '72 with a dominating win over the Canucks, proving to the entire country that the more deserving team won.
