Dickerson: On a scale of 1-10 where do you rank May 22nd in terms of importance to this franchise?

Ainge: You talk really loud, you know that?

It was pretty good, but I thought the "agony of defeat" clips were a bit misplaced.  I would have understood if they were placed chronologically, or at the beginning, to show the evolution of the Boston sports scene over the past 20 years, from the lows to the highs.

It didn't make much sense, though, to show the Larry Bird Celtics winning, followed by the Sox and Pats losing, followed by the Larry Bird Celtics winning again.  It just didn't fit for me; it was like there was no reason whatsoever for what clips were picked, or where they were placed.

There were certainly enough enjoyable moments in the clip, though, so I'm not going to criticize *too* much.  (I just tend not to enjoy watching Bill Buckner's error unless there's a reason for it, other than masochism.)

  • Yup
A fine collection of video and the song worked.  I see Roy's point about the agony of defeat, but they didn't really harp on it.

Top "give me goosebumps" moments

1) Vinatieri's snow kick
2) Dave Roberts steal
3) Bird getting delirious after beating Sixers
4) Brunansky's catch in the corner...Only because I was there and was sitting in one of the spots in the park that had a decent view of the play)
Yup

I don't think that he's claiming that he did, since he's saying he found it to be enjoyable and unique.
