Crazysight Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Let me be perhaps the first to mention the possibility around here: Sox are already World Series Champs, Pats are the first to have an undefeated season in the modern era headed into the playoffs where they (of course) have home-field throughout (and would be playing in a dome in the Superbowl) and the Celtics have the best record in the NBA and kicked L.A.'s butts (in L.A.) last night while completing a 4 game sweep of the west in 5 days. Could it be that we are on the verge of 3 championship teams in the 3 most-popular professional sports? I'm sure there are plenty of people who still aren't sold on the Celts (and are rooting against the Pats), but would there be any time in history when any part of the country had obtained as much success in sports?

SheikYerbuti Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I guess it's just a matter of time before the Boston fans start shooting their load all over the Food and Beverage forum. It's the last safe haven. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 the Celtics have the best record in the NBA and kicked L.A.'s butts (in L.A.) last night while completing a 4 game sweep of the west in 5 days. I've watched about 10 Celtics games and you're kidding yourself if you think they could take the Spurs in a 7 game series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggerz Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 if a city wins the grand slam(MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA) then they can really really bang on their chest....leaving out the bruins is pretty lame(Bruins currently would sit as the #8(final team) to make the playoffs in the eastern conf) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 cant forget the MLS eastern conference champs , New England Revolution ,who lost in the title game a few weeks back But the true success of a city is measured by the # of starbucks , Mcdonalds and 7-11's it has and for this NY still rules the roost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazysight Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) I've watched about 10 Celtics games and you're kidding yourself if you think they could take the Spurs in a 7 game series. Happen to see that west-coast swing that they capped-off by thumping the Lakers in L.A.? Granted, the Spurs are still the champs and that's where the road has to go through. And the Pats still have a lot of work left to do to. Edited January 13, 2008 by Crazysight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, how many other teams were in those league back in 1935 compared to the number of other teams there are today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix does bizzacchh!! Tampa Bay does not have a NBA team. (and the baseball team is in St. Petersberg) Can add DET, MIN (twin cities) and MIA for all 4. Debatable, but if you wanted to include SF, OAK, and SJ as one metroploitan area, that would be another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinL Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I was thinking Philadelphia had a good stretch in the early 80's, but I guess they didn't win all 3. 1980 76'ers lost the NBA Finals, Phillies won the World Series 1981 Eagles lost the Super Bowl 1982 76'ers lost the NBA Finals 1983 76'ers won the NBA Finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty self explanatory as Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
