The first day of 2008 came and went on Wednesday,and Boston sports teams are now all undefeated this year. Or, in other words, no one's set the tone of the new year through a game.
The Celts could set a high bar tonight when they welcome Houston to the Garden. Boston had a few days to celebrate the holiday and recover from the physical play they encountered in Los Angeles on Sunday night. Those hoping that Lamar Odom would face the consequences of his flagrant foul on Ray Allen were happy on Tuesday to learn that Odom was suspended by the league for one game.
If you have neither Patriots playoff tickets nor a Visa card, now might be the thing you want to think about signing up for one. Limited tickets for the postseason will be going on sale at 10 a.m. Friday morning. Mastercard won't get you to the big game. American Express is a no-go. Don't even think about flashing your Capital One card. It's all Visa for this team, it seems. Oh, and it's all online, so you don't have to worry about setting up a tent outside Gillette.
We decided to go with this shot by flickr user phil h because...well, we just really liked it!
