Boston is still on Lock Down --Sports talk Radio demanding a hockey game be play?!

My wife and I have spent the majority of the day running around buying food and supplies and we have been listening to the local Pittsburgh sports talk Radio AND with all that Boston is going through they are basically talking about IF the game should be played or cancelled.


NOW I'm a HUGE sports FAN BUT REALLY you want to complain how by not playing the game is letting the "terrorist" win?


From what we have been hearing people are basically locked down can't leave there home and you think playing for the camera is something people want to see?

how many ordinary people will be murdered by gun owners to day in the USA? shall we all hide in our closets until we die of starvation just because there MIGHT be somebody out there somewhere who will kill us?

Black Hawk copters overhead earlier.

I would rather stay in today on the off chance that I would be compromised by an alleged 19 old with explosives.


You are spot on though with your commentary on gun related deaths.

These sports talk guys are either former jocks or jock sniffers. Meaning they're either alpha males or alpha male wannabe's and everything is behind a macho facade. They don't realize this guy could show up to one of their games and set off a bomb. There's not a lot of thinking going on there.

Have the teams play without an audience and broadcast it on TV
