Full Court Press

This is my final entry. I have found that I love to blog. I have two other blogs both work related and I thoroughly enjoy freely writing my opinions and just sending them out into the abyss. Over the last few weeks I have blogged about Boston's major sports teams. The Red Sox are facing a big decision about Jason Varitek and are favored to win the World Series next year in Las Vegas with odds at 5-1. The Celtics have a rivalry that is only just re-heating with an option to be such a money maker and a new player that may be the secret ingredient to the Celtics success. In Patriots news we have Matt Cassel the new starting quarterback who is also up for free agency and had a traumatic death in the family. I also commented real quick on Belichick's "lucky" fashion sense or lack there of. Then there is the Bruins, who I mentioned once and not again because frankly that's all they really deserve. If you can name three players on the Bruins right now without looking it up I will eat my words and give you a cookie.

After blogging about sports and the sports industry I think I learned the most about free agency. I decided to do two stories on it and I think the whole concept is a bit confusing however I understand it's appeal and it's use now. The Boston sports industry is unlike anything I've seen, because its the only city, it seems that is unified in its beliefs. We all hate New York no matter what team no matter what sport, unless its the Mets and that's only because they aren't the Yankees. The chants "Beat LA" and "Yankees Suck" can be heard at any event where there are many Beantown enthusiasts , no matter the reason. It could be a political rally and someone will start the "Yankees Suck" chant and the whole place will start yelling along and clapping. There are so many aspects that go into marketing a team and marketing a sport, but the Boston teams don't just do that, they market the city as well and just being a Boston fan. It's the best sports city in the world, I said in the beginning and I stand by it.

Good Luck to all the teams in 2009!

Yankees still suck.... Giants too.
