Cementheads on parade
I've subjected you guys to the occasional rant about Massachusetts' neighbor to the north and you;ve probably wondered "What's so bad about New Hampshire?" THIS is why New Hamphire sucks. Because alleged adults who live in the Cementhead state heckled a teenage girl at a high school tennis match because she's from Massachusetts.
A little background: Bishop Guertin is a private school just over the state line with probably around 80 percent of its student body coming from Massachusetts (likely because BG wouldn't exist if it accepted only students from New Hampshire. When you shovel cow manure for a living, it's hard to come up with the scratch for a real edumacation at one of them thar fancy skewls with books and pensuls.)
Bow is a shitty little town with one stop light. Mary Baker Eddy was born there, but she had the good sense to move to Massachusetts, probably as soon as she was old enough to crawl to the state line. Bow's most famous living resident is a former U.S. Rep, named - believe it or not - Dick Swett. I'd assume the girl who won the match is his daughter, but there's probably so much incest in Bow that everyone is related.

At the risk of sounding like a dick, "I was being bullied," sounds a lot like "I'm upset because I lost the first set." I'm have no reason to doubt anything you said about N.H., but I'd never let my kid quit. I might kick the shit out of the loudest loud mouth in the crowd, but I wouldn't let my kid quit.

That's because you don't have a tennis player's mentality. Back when I started as a sports writer, I used to have to cover tennis matches. They just don't think the same way other athletes do. You or I could play three sets against Rafael Nadal and probably not win a point, but we'd keep playing until someone told us the match was over.
Our only chance of winning would be if Nadal stormed off the court and defaulted after he chipped a fingernail or snapped a shoelace or heaven forbid someone's cell phone went off in the middle of the match.

So basically what you're saying is after he blasted a couple of 130 mph serves past me, if I looked at him and said, "Is that all you got you Spanish sissy?" I'd win by a DQ?

Sure, they were nasty and rude, but at least they didn't take her for Granite.
Nicely done, sir.

Maybe, but you'd at least induce a 5-minute bathroom break while he changed his soiled tennis shorts.
