WALTHAM -- Let's be honest. On the spectrum of sports in this area, today's Celtic practice was a mere warmup act for tonight's Patriots-Colts matchup.
Brad Stevens, a Colts fan from growing up in Indiana and working in the same city -- who has come to appreciate and pull for the Pats -- was asked about the lighter blue sneakers he was wearing and said they had no connection to football allegiances.
"I’ve said it before that I know people in both organizations," the Celtics' coach said. "I don’t know as many in the Colts' as I used to, because after they made their change in general managers and coaches and everything else, in the 2011 or whatever it is season, and a lot of their players, those were a lot of the people that I knew pretty well.
