It's no problem. Usually I start to write something, take various breaks, walk away for a while, etc. So by the time it actually gets posted, it's hours after I started it, but it appears before yours cause of the start time. Plus, if you read mine, you'll see they are really only related by the title, not the content.

Oh man, I actually put this article to be posted at 12:05 am on post options. That is one crazy coincidence. Sorry, Three Toe definetly didn't mean to write the same thing as you.

I started being a fan in 1986 after a Celtics-Hawks match at the Garden that I caught on TV. Of course that year we got a ring but you have to understand that I was 9 years old when it happened. I was 15 when Larry Bird retired and we can fairly say that until then, being a Celtics fan was a true pleasure. After that everything was much more difficult, but I've always been a fan. My friends used to make fun of me during the ML Carr era, and I thought we were going to get another ring back in the Walker/Pierce times...but finally the time to celebrate rings and playoff wins arrived in 2007 and I am surely enjoying it.

But no matter the Celtics record, no matter the circumstances I will always be bleeding green. Whether it's John Bagley, Gerald Green or Kevin Garnett wearing #5.

Go C's, go!

I love how you guys post your bandwagon fans articles back to back. "CelticsLife: Where Duplicity Happens" Is that the right word? I just saw that Julia Roberts/Clive Owen movie. Well regardless I'm posting this comment in both of your posts, so no one feels neglected. lol

Yes I realize the irony of my last comment given the title of my last post, but the post is actually non-sarcastically welcoming new fans!

In accordance with my comment on one of your previous posts, people trying to come down on "bandwagon" fans are just trying to attain some kind of useless reverence by insisting they are more "down with the team" than others. No one with some strange sense of deluded seniority is going to tell me they are a "better" fan than anyone else. Besides, everybody jumped on a bandwagon at some point cause no one is born a fan.

It feels good to win and it sucks to lose, people naturally gravitate away from teams that lose constantly. I'm not saying you are doing any of this, Karl or FL and I mean no offense to either of you guys, I'm just sick of the dick-measuring contest. And what's this malarkey about the Steelers being the best franchise in sports, man, WE ARE WRITING FOR A SITE THAT COVERS THE BEST FRANCHISE IN SPORTS!

I'm definitely not a bandwagon fan. I have been a fanatical Celtics fan from the 60's all the way through the Pitino years to present. I have loved this team just as much in the lean years as I do now. I had 22 long years after the 86 championship that I cheered just as hard for the team as I am now.
