I’m Going to Disneyland!

Did you catch who said “I’m going to Disneyland!” after the Celtics beat the Lakers in Game 6 the other night?
I’ll give you a hint: it wasn’t one of the players.
I’ll give you another hint: it’s someone who reads this blog regularly. (Nope, it wasn’t Matt Doan, who is a pastor in Orange County.)
Give up? OK. it was me.
Let me take you back to a PFB post right before the NBA playoffs started where I was examining the pre-season NBA picks I had made. (Remember, right before the playoffs started all the talk was about the West and how strong it was from the top seed to the eighth.) In that post I said,
“If I had a redo, I’d probably take Boston over San Antonio in the Finals (or maybe Detroit over the Lakers). I do think the East will win, unless LeBron somehow gets the Cavs back to the Finals. (FYI…Boston went 25-5 against the “mighty” West this year.)”
I’m not claiming to be Nostradamus with those predictions. Admittedly, they were pretty safe. But in a comment to my post, loyal PFB reader (and pastor) Matt Doan said:
“I can’t believe you are using your brillant blog to unfairly criticize the mighty WEST. Disneyland tickets on me for the PFB Family if an East team even wins a game in the finals…Wait edit that (my wife just freaked out) Disneyland ticker[sic] for you and your family if the Eastern Team wins the NBA finals.”
Well, well, well. What do you know? Looks like I need to start looking into some plane tickets…
(have I mentioned that Matt is a pastor?)
GO BIG EAST! watch out for my Orlando Tragic, we are about 2 years away.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:18 pmI was kind of hoping with
the boombox hysteria sweeping
your neighborhood after the finals
that you would have forgotten
about my little bet.
But I am a man of my word…
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:27 amWhen you and your fam get time to head out to Disneyland, I will hook you up with tickets.
(it pays to have people at my church who work there)
I need to remember Matt’s name and bait him someday…
