Gotta love Boston sports fans

by Bryan Strawser · Jan 26, 2008

An intrepid (or stupid?) reporter from the Boston Globe went around Boston earlier this week while fully decked out in New York Giants gear.

The only thing worse than that I can think of would be to run around during a Boston-New York ALCS while wearing New York Yankees gear.

The responses are classic:

“You got a quarter, bro?” asked a panhandler outside of Wendy’s in Copley Square. “Hey, Eli Manning sucks!”

RIP Major Andrew Olmsted

by Bryan Strawser · Jan 5, 2008

Each of us – in some way – probably has a Final Post written somewhere to be posted in the event that we pass on before our time….

Andrew Olmsted, an Army Reserve Major serving in Iraq, wrote such a post back in July – before his deployment.

Unfortunately, one of his friends had to post Andrew’s ‘Final Post’ earlier this week. Major Olmsted had been killed in action in Iraq.

“I am leaving this message for you because it appears I must leave sooner than I intended. I would have preferred to say this in person, but since I cannot, let me say it here.”

Read it.
