These days a lot of cabs are running on compressed natural gas. That should give the “yutes” more bang for the buck.

Indeed. Why let the NBA off the hook?

Whatever city wins the NBA championships, riots, fires, injured police and a civilian death or two is always the outcome.

What's good for BP is good for the NBA, right?

A brawl in the crowd leaving the Fenway area bars after the Celtics [team stats]’ loss last night may have left a woman injured, after she was thrown down by a police officer busting up a fight between several women.

The group of three women were pulling each other’s hair and scatching at each other in front of a Kenmore Square restaurant shortly after midnight when a Herald reporter saw a police officer run in to bust it up.

It’s not just Laker fans...Mexico beat France today, so there are/were plenty of drunks out with Mexican flags doing their worst.
