It’s been almost exactly 13 years since Chuck and I launched Red’s Army.
We were both overnight news producers at WBZ having a lot of fun reading Boston Dirt Dogs and talking a LOT of shit as we tried to get through the grind of an 11pm to 8am shift.
I remember one of us having the epiphany that we should basically make a Boston Dirt Dogs-type site for the Celtics. At that point, blogs were in their infancy and neither of us really knew of a site like that.
So we came up with a name, deciding that followers of the Celtics were led by Red Auerbach.
