An advice column for people who live with people who live for sports
What happened on Wednesday, February 4, 2015?
Justice is served in English soccer: The Bolton Wanderers looked like they might get away with beating Liverpool 1-0 on an ill-earned penalty kick. One of Bolton’s players went down a bit too easily for my liking when he was barely grazed and he fooled the ref into calling a foul. Liverpool managed to rescue themselves and reestablish global justice by scoring two goals in the final fifteen minutes to win the game. Line: I don’t think anyone says “ball don’t lie” in soccer, but they should.
The only blight on Boston’s day: While the Patriots celebrated their Super Bowl win with a duck-boat parade, and the Celtics won in Boston 104-100 over the Nuggets, the only sore spot was a 3-2 Bruins loss against the Rangers. Line: Boston can’t have EVERYTHING.
Fifty one for Steph Curry: The Golden State Warriors were down 22 points to the visiting Dallas Mavericks at one point last night. They ended up winning 128-114 thanks in large part to Steph Curry’s 51 points. Curry made a massive 10 three pointers and scored 26 points in just the third quarter. Line: I don’t know if they’ll actually do it, but I would like to see the Warriors win the title this year. They’re so much fun to watch.
