I started this the day the Bruins were eliminated in April. I struggled to figure out what story to tell about Year 1 behind the mic at TD Garden, but that story was right in front of me.

Oh man. Here's Jared Grasso's repsonse to this:
"We gave them 5 opportunities to cancel the game, but they asked to play…they wanted to play us. Is that the reason we should have beat them? They can use it as an excuse if they want."
Boeheim is not in a good situation here.
Boeheim at halftime: "Not practicing in 14 days, you just can't play this game. They should've just canceled the game... We're not conditioned. They've got fast guys and they're pushing right by us... This is a tough game for us if we're practicing every day. We're not ready."

You hire broadcast professionals for a reason. Joe Buck, Lisa Salters, Suzy Kolber, Scott Van Pelt, and even Booger McFarland are covering this with poise in the face of terror. Hats off to them for one of the most horrific situations you can ask for in this work

Obviously Yankee fans should disavow her…but how one-sided is this!
When I was a 13-year-old fan watching the Yankees at Fenway Park, I had a grown man tell me to go f**k myself for wearing a Yankee hat.
The point? This happens everywhere. Let’s not act like this is new.
The Yankees are so bad that their fans have to scream “27 rings” at third graders just to feel something. Anything at all.
