Troy Brown, thy name is ......
Football Player.

From Celtics.com (an indispensible site to be sure)
"...That defeat (in the 67 Eastern Conference NBA playoffs) ended the most impressive championship streak in American sports history. It was the first time in 10 seasons that the Celtics had failed to reach the NBA Finals, and it ended a string of eight straight NBA titles.
The Celtics' dynasty seemed to be on the wane. The club took the floor at the start of the 1967-68 season with an aging lineup. K. C. Jones had retired during the offseason, but Russell rallied the team. After the Celtics posted a 54-28 record during the regular season to finish eight games behind the 76ers, the two teams squared off in the Eastern Division Finals for the fourth straight season.
Heavily favored Philadelphia jumped out to lead the series after four games, but Boston rallied to take the next two contests. Game 7 was a thriller. The Celtics were holding a two-point lead with less than a minute to play when Russell took over the game-sinking a free throw, blocking a shot, grabbing a rebound, and then dishing out an assist to secure the victory."
Troy Brown = Bill Russell.
---- He would not let them lose.
Reche Caldwell and Jabar Gaffney = Nellie and Bailey Howell.
---- Discards who are/were priceless.
====================================
Patriots upset #1 AFC seed Chargers, 24-21.
====================================
"Havlicek stole the ball! Havlicek stole the ball!!"
"...And Bird steals it, over to DJ..."
"Papi...." How many times?
"Vinatieri!" Again and again.
....... and.....
Troy Brown with the season saving strip.
====================================
On and on it goes
For the Boston sports lifer
How many ways to say it?
====================================
...Suck on that, Philly. We'd rather be in Boston/New England, for sure.
