Well another weekend in the books and another Boston trifecta. The Celtics and Bruins continue to dominate their leagues with the Celtics taking down the Hornets, and the Bruins curb stomping the Atlanta Thrashers twice. As I blog, the Pats are up 42-20 with 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and its obvious they are going to win.
I guess bars in Boston cater to Bills fans now? I walked into the Harp after work today around 3:30 to watch the Pats game and was surprised to see a bar completely packed with Bills fans. Completely packed. Now I've never seen anything like this. First of all I didn't know that Bills fans existed outside of Buffalo, second, I didn't know Bills fans still cared this season. I mean, how do you follow the Bills this season after their collapse? How ugly is Marshawn Lynch? Is he half man, half gargoyle? Google image this guy please, but don't do it before bed.
Anyways me and my friend take a seat a little outside of the bar and just watch. Please note that my friend is a Jets fan. With a little more than 2 minutes left and the Bills just getting a first down while leading, the bar is hopping. Bills fans are happy as can be- I guess a meaningless win is still a win... All of a sudden Losman rolls out of the pocket in true J.P. Losman form, continues to fumble the ball, and the Jets recover it and run it back for a TD. It all happened so fast. It was like a car crash in front of my eyes.
"NOOOOO!"
"Damnit, way to go J.P..."
"Damnit, way to go J.P..."
"Yeah, way to go J.P. you fucking moron!"
"HAHAHAHA YES! YES! HEHE HAHA YESSS!" (constant clapping)
You need to hear this guys laugh to truly appreciate the moment. Trying to describe it is tough- it's kind of like this girly high pitch howl. It's one of those laughs that will make you laugh, very contagious.
I start laughing, because he's laughing. So immediately I come off as a Jets fan, even though that can't be further from the truth. Inside I'm livid, but the situation in the bar is too funny to not laugh.
Long story short we didn't stay long.
Note to the Harp, your bar is in Boston. It might be a good idea to continue to serve food after the damn Bills game that 70 people in the entire city care about. I'm sorry, do only Bills fans get hungry? It's 4:oo on a Sunday and you stop serving food right as the Patriots game starts? So you just don't like turning a profit then? I like the Harp, great place to go before Celtics or Bruins games, but the whole closing up shop as the Pats game starts is pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
