From the Sports Desk

Unless you've been living under a rock (and additionally not reading this blog), you should already know that the Boston Red Sox are the reigning World Series champions, even if they are playing like trash so far this season.  What's more, the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl and are the current NFL champion.

No city has ever hosted the champions of all four major American sports (baseball, football, basketball, and hockey) in one year.  Detroit came the closest in 1935, when the Lions, Tigers, and Red Wings all won their leagues.  But this year, after the Red Sox and Patriots victories, the Boston Bruins are tied at one game each in the second round of the NHL playoffs and the Boston Celtics lead their second round one game to none.  It's not impossible for Boston to become the first city to ever win all four majors.

The Milwaukee Bucks were supposed to be the team to put an end to the Celtics' ambitions.  After all, they have likely MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, the "Greek Freak" (but from Nigeria) playing for them.  Well, in Sunday's Game 1, the Celtics blew out the Bucks by 22 points, leading at least one network commentator to say after the game that it's all over for the Bucks.  We don't know if it will be that easy, and the road ahead will certainly be an uphill climb that eventually will likely have to go through Golden State, but you got to like the Celtics' workmanship and camaraderie going into these playoffs.

Even though they dropped the first game in their Second Round, we don't see any team challenging the Bruins for the Stanley Cup this year.  But TBQH, we don't know shit about hockey, so take that into consideration.

Our point here is that Boston may very well become the first team to host four championships in one year, and even if they don't, they are still likely to get closer than any city has in any year during our lifetime.

The Celtics play Game 2 of their second series tonight in Milwaukee, and the Bruins have their Game 3 tonight in Columbus.  Good luck, teams, and godspeed!
