Is it ok for me to say that I am terrified by this year’s playoffs? Are my fears justified?
I’m a New England kid of the late 70s-early 80s. Growing up, I learned to not tempt the hockey and baseball gods (football gods didn’t exist then and the Celtics were the basketball gods). So, I won’t be submitting a bracket. Too soon…
