He busts his ass every day. He's probably been to Ravens games. If we had an NBA team and they were in the Finals he probably would go if the opportunity presented it self. He had a history in Boston, a huge fan-following. Listen, at this point I hate the Sox more than I do the Yankees, but I won't begrudge a guy for going to the game with friends. It was a super-hot ticket. Maybe he went there with the intention of getting seen, but how's that any different then most athletes/celebs.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('21514','xi0'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('21514','xi0','I don\'t exactly understand the \"He needs to show Bmore more love\" argument.

I'm trying to calm down in terms of baseball, since getting worked up over the lost season is kinda stupid, but I still have those knee-jerk reactions that are wildly out of line. That's just part of who I am. I was at the game in New York last year when ARod hit that walk off grand slam and I didn't even talk to my girlfriend afterwards for like 3 hours - literally (she was understanding but generally thought I should grow up). I do wish Kevin Millar showed Bmore the love he shows Boston, but he doesn't and I do understand. But I don't have to like it. Anyway guys, stick around, we're really actually good people here, honest! Our non-Millar opinions are generally, I think at a high level of debate. And thanks for sticking up for me, Joe. Now excuse me, I have to go continue destroying everyone at fantasy baseball.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('21509','Andrew out of Rochester'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('21509','Andrew out of Rochester','I have a tendency (which Dan definitely shares, and probably a host of other people around here, too) of having huge knee jerk overreactions to things we don\'t like.

I apologize for my affinity of semantics and having "the last word"...but it's worth noting: Neal said he doesn't care, right in the main post. Andrew said it's an old schtik, and then apologized for even saying that much. Two other people said they didn't care. Then the direction of the thread totally changed, we were discussing trades. Sometimes our discussions change from the intention of the main posts because Neal is a busy guy. We had totally shifted gears. until your comment, John. I'm just saying. Your disbelief is...confusing. You restarted the discussion. But welcome to the LC nonetheless. I only say all this because I don't want you or Jen to think we're shit stirrers, or trying to run Millar out of town. That's hardly the case and I'm not sure how you reached that conclusion from this post and comments. This is a positive place. We love Millar and his work ethic.
