City Mayor or Village Idiot?

BOSTON - During the unveiling of a new statue depicting Boston Bruins legend Bobby Orr’s “The Goal” on Causeway Street in front of the TD Garden, Menino managed to steal some of the buzz from Orr by first jumbling his words, then mixing in the wrong name for one of Boston’s greatest sports moments.

 Menino was talking about great athletic feats in Boston history, and called them “ionic” moments (see the :35 second mark). He hailed Orr’s goal, Doug Flutie’s Hail Mary, John Havlicek’s steal and lastly, Jason Varitek splitting the uprights (see the :44 second mark).

Seriously, who the fuck doesn't know that Adam Vinatieri kicked that field goal to win the Superbowl? Not only did this moron get the name wrong, but he was off by an entire sport. We're not discussing some lesser known sport or a far away team that the city of Boston doesn't get much exposure to--its the New England Patriots of the NFL, biggest sport in America and only one of the biggest moments in Boston sports history and the mayor gets it completely wrong. FAIL.
