If you know anything about Southie, that's like filming a New York setting without seeing a yankee's cap.
Just thought you might find this funny

I watched the Departed last week, great movie. Didn't know that about Nicholson tho! The Celtic name is associated the world over. With my fav soccer team its down to the Irish - likewise with the Basketball team I guess?? not really sure.
The club has a big history to it, and its amazing being at the Champions League games when the biggest teams come to play at our place. Recently we just beat AC Milan 2-1. The atmosphere is something special. It would have to be witnessed to realise what I'm talking about. No one could come to a game that I'm describing then not have an interest in Soccer.
I guess maybe NFL and Basketball are like that for you guys. Next time I'm in Miami I defo wanna go to a Heat game.
