That Word Does Not Mean What You Think It Means
It doesn't really bother me that much that Ben Affleck is making a DVD aimed at teaching babies to be Red Sox fans. Whatever keeps Sum of All Fears II out of theaters, after all.
But don't give me this:
New dad Affleck, a Boston, Massachusetts native, is a die-hard Red Sox fan.
Die-hard? That explains why we always see him in the crowd at games against the Orioles and Devil Rays.
Donnie Wahlberg...there's a diehard fan. Every year he's at the Celtics-Clippers game in LA, he often flies up to Sacramento when the C's are there, and he'll join Mike and Tommy in the booth and talk intelligently and knowledgeably about the franchise.
Affleck sits in the front row of Sox-Yankee games with his starlet du jour, and once showed up in the booth and ripped Lou Merloni.
As George Carlin (as the hippie) said when Homer Simpsons dared Chief Wiggum to smash the hippies' heads open...this man does not represent us.
