    Stay classy, Boston!

    Bill Walton was talking about how he was proud of his son and the radio host hangs up on him.

    You know, I can understand where Bill is coming.. It's just that I hate bums like Luke getting rings and making millions for doing nothing.

    What else is suppose to say? It's his son.

    Do Boston fans want a cookie or something?

    Hey, the guy was a Blazer and a Celtic. At the first inkling he was raising a future Laker, he should have drowned the little brat!

    Walton was acting stupidly and was annoying even me, telling Boston that all they had to do was win 3 straight games at home. He said twice within a minute that they had had their chances and deserved to lose.

    But the DJ didn't respond right, either. He could have raised his ratings by arguing with Walton, by yelling. Instead he had to fill 10 minutes of silence, the 10 minutes he said he had scheduled for the interview. He should have grabbed Walton's provocation and run with it. Both guys were dumb.

    He was a Clipper too. Should be a triple-Laker-hater.

    It's funny because we look at the scrubs at the end of the bench of an NBA team and think, "that guy sucks ass! How come he is getting paid millions and I'm sitting here on my ass making nothing!" Well, to be honest, the average scrub in the NBA is so much better than most of us could ever dream. Hell, even Travis Outlaw's older brother was 10x better than most of us will ever be. I don't think the average fan understands how good these guys truly are. To even hold a roster spot in the NBA, most players have to be exceptional talents. There's always the exception though.

    hahaha, that was awesome. I usually hate these guys because they are morons. They used to be the wacky morning guys on a hard rock station but when they changed formats to sports, they left them on.

    They aren't even from Boston. They are from Atlanta and watch NASCAR more than any other sport. They openly root against Boston teams sometimes (the guy even says he hates the Patriots in that clip). I was reading the comments on the website and so many people, just like the OP here say something about Boston being classless. These guys just moved here a couple years ago to play Green Day songs and mess with people on the radio. Know what you're talking about before you say dumb shit.

    I took the Boston being classless point of view from its players and fans ;)
