297 posts since '06. Pure troll. Go home. I'm not sure what troll appeal is, but you're a small and stupid little-souled man.

The irony of your complete lack of intellect on this topic is hilarious. I guess the best comeback is calling someone a troll.

I won this thread.

Yep. Trolls always win if they get a response. You're also an #######.

I'm done.

Not one person can respond with some kind of legit response to Orr being one of the most overrated athletes in Boston sports history. I'll take the argument that Ortiz is only a DH but Orr over Bourque?

The best comeback is calling me a troll.

I apparently rent free space in your head if that is the best you can do.

Boston sports fans are the most unintelligent people on the planet.

This is fact.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, That started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailin' man, the Skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour. A three hour tour.

The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost. The Minnow would be lost. The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle, with Tikigods, the skipper too, the millionare, and his wife. The movie star, the professor and Amry Ann..... here on Tikigods Isle.

Now this is the tale of the castways, they're here for a long, long time, they'll have to make the best of things, it's an uphill climb. The first mate and the Skipper too, will do their very best, to make the others comfortable, in the tropic island nest. No phone, no lights no motor cars, not a single luxury, like Robinson Crusoe, as primative as can be. So join us here each week my freinds, you're sure to get a smile, from seven stranded castways, here on "Tikigods Isle."

Instead you only prove my point about unintelligent Boston fans.

Thanks.

 

[rockaction]

I'm an #######. I'm a ####### %^&*@!.

 

[tikigods]

In no particular order:

Larry Bird

Bobby Orr

Cy Young

Ted Williams

Honorable mention to Bill Russell. Nobody else is worthy of consideration.

I'm inclined to agree here... This is a baseball town first and foremost. Russell was amazing, but I think if we're carving faces into granite, you've gotta go with Bird. Cy belongs in everyone's top 5 list of the game's greatest starting pitchers in history... hence the Cy Young Award. Orr....well Bobby was Bobby. And Ted was arguably the greatest pure hitter the game has ever seen.

Ortiz is a great and will likely have his number retired at Fenway if he gets into the Hall (on of fenways criteria to get on the RF Facade). His postseason numbers are the stuff of legend. I put him above Brady (given Boston is a baseball town) but the fact he's only a DH hurts him here.

Brady is in the argument for the greatest Patriot player ever... but I just don't think he's got enough on his resume just yet. 1-2 more superbowls... maybe.

5 Superbowls and "I just don't think he's got enough on his resume yet."

This is classic.

You, sir, must be a neurosurgeon.

Legit argument.

 

[Spike]

I'm from MA and am 52 years old so I've seen a decent amount of Boston sports in my lifetime.

I figure, for this, I'd go with 1 from each of the 4 major sports.

As much of a Bird fan as I was when he was at his peak, I had to leave him out and go with Russell, Orr, Brady and Williams.

Pretty easy selections, imo.

 

[Sweet J]

Larry Bird

Bill Russell

Tom Brady

Ted Williams

Brady over Orr?

I'm guessing you're in your 20s and not from Boston...

Keep guessing, maroon.

I'm 50/50 on if this fella meant to call me a maroon, or if he misspelled moron.

I'm also not sure which would be funnier

Knowing nothing about him, I'd guess he appropriated Bugs Bunny's use of "maroon" as an insult. Which would likely make him over 35, possibly over 40. I can't really remember when they stopped rerunning the classics.

 

[Mr. Ected]

This doesn't entirely fit here, but.

In response to being asked about LeBron James' Mt. Rushmore of NBA, which didn't include Bill Russell. He had a spectacular comeback that is akin to a huge blocked shot.

See the article below:

Bill Russell serves LeBron James after Mount Rushmore commentsBill Russell turned 80 last week, but age is no reflection of this Boston Celtics legend’s ability to dish out a quick response to LeBron James. Amidst the 2014 NBA All-Star Game media hype, James listed his own Mount Rushmore of all-time league greats.

His [James] list included Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson. He also went on in true King James fashion to add that he “for sure” will be one of the top four who has ever played the game. During Sunday’s all-star game, sideline reporter Craig Sager read a quote from Russell, who had earlier addressed James’ Mount Rushmore picks.

“Hey, thank you for leaving me off your Mount Rushmore. I’m glad you did. Basketball is a team game, it’s not for individual honors. I won back-to-back state championships in high school, back-to-back NCAA championships in college. I won an NBA championship my first year in the league, an NBA championship in my last year, and nine in between. That, Mr. James, is etched in stone.”

In just a couple of sentences, the most decorated championship winner in NBA history proved he still packs a punch on and off the court. Definitely call it a comeback.

Yeah... not #### LBJ can say about that

 

[Ghost Rider]

Kind of funny that Russell emphasized that it's team game, not an individual one, and then proceeded to spit out several "I won..." comments.

 

[PatsFanCT]

Williams, Russell, Orr and Bird.

That's what I went with too.

I just like the way he says it "my first year, my last year and NINE in between" count it that is 11. I got to go to Celtics games in the the old Boston Garden way back when in the 80s, and it was amazing to see all of those flags from the 60s, almost every year.

 

[Mr. Ected]

Kind of funny that Russell emphasized that it's team game, not an individual one, and then proceeded to spit out several "I won..." comments.

Yeah, would it have been better if he said "my team?"

 

[Bourbon Cowboy]

Ortiz has won three World Series for Boston and people would put Orr on there over him?

You're too young to understand

2 cups; ten years and didn't even finish his career in Boston. He was a washed up oft-injured Chicago Blackhawk.

Ortiz is better than Orr and it's not even close.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a racist.

You've obviously never seen Ortiz on ice skates.

 

[Eephus]

The Russell quote is better if you imagine it being said in Russell's voice followed by his laugh at the end.
