Guy has a voice of a steam engine trying to whistle with fruit loops in his mouth.

Give Bill credit. Always a fan of the game 35 years on from retirement. He and Max should have their own audio channel for the Finals like ESPN does the standalone broadcasts for the College Football Playoffs.

Prohibition - Failed miserably in America. Worked wonders as an incentive for the 86 Celtics.

He'd have to travel with it (and apparently does so regularly) because he probably needs a custom 75cm frame! (those are 700c wheels and they are smaller than the seat tube). OMG that head tube! Betting it's a custom headset, fork, and stem on that.

Can't read the name on the frame - anybody? This looks like an older pic, maybe? Newer pics show him on a Dave Moulton with a sloping top tube.

Looks like Grateful Dead art on the headtube - nice paint job.

Edit: Nevermind, it's a Bill Holland

…in similar circumstances 36 years ago, towering over everyone in the scrum exiting Kenmore as we headed toward Fenway for Game 2 against the Angels

I'm still not comfortable riding the T w/o a mask, great win for the C's that night
