Even though I am supposed to be the Boston correspondent I strongly considered writing a post about the Bill Simmons dubbed, “LeBroncolypse” or “LeBacle.” Bill Simmons did a better job than I would have done and the submissions from his readings are very funny, so I urge you to read it.

3:00pm, the pre-game ceremony begins. Students leave school early, employees jump in cabs to the nearest bars and bank tellers turn their backs to the windows to garner a better view of the TV. 3:25pm the opening ceremonies commence.
