THE SWEET SOUND OF HELICOPTERS OVERHEAD — by Steve Nadis
Twenty-six games later and the playoffs are over, the series done, and I’m reveling in the sweet sound of helicopters overhead and car horns blaring. I watched game six (and pretty much 1 through 25) with a friend and long-time Celtics fan who was elated at the end, though he complained about having to get up early after a late night of sports on TV.
“Why do you have to get up early?” I asked.
“To read all the coverage about the game,” he replied.

That guy sounds like a real knucklehead.
Yeah but as knuckleheads go he’s not bad… –Snake
Being from the country, Snake, I can’t relate at all to “helicopters overhead” when the Home Team wins. WHat’s THAT all about?
Do private chopper folk “take to the sky” to celebrate?
Is it News teams anxious to capture news footage of The Crowd? Is it cops ready to ferret out over-jovial troublemakers in the street with SpOtlights? I mean… Whaaa…??? :O :/~

Sadly, MP, it is the latter–the cops getting ready to quell a riot… –Snake
a-HA! I guess the reference to “the sweet sound of helicopters…” is what confused me.
(All I could think of was being pinned down on the Ho Chi Min trail & “hearing the cavalry”)
