[hpantazo]

This one hurts. It could be the deal-breaker for many Celtics fans:

Utah Jazz content provider Hayley Byrnes put players on the spot last week with the question: “Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady?”

Like cheese or chocolate, there’s no wrong choice.

Most went with Brady, but Gordon Hayward said because he’s a Colts fan, he prefers Rodgers.

“Can’t stand Tom Brady,” he said.

No truth to the rumor Brady immediately called for a ring count.

NEVER MIND. WE DON'T NEED OR WANT HIM 

Haha yeah @hpantazo I mentioned it earlier in the thread.

A complete game changer.

Yeah! I mean, he can insult our city, our moms, our wives, but he crossed the line there insulting Tom Brady!

It would be awesome if he still attends and tells him, "Gordon, embrace the power of the dark side!"

I am worried about Pat Riley, he is such a snake. But the Stevens Hayward relationship could be the difference maker.

Gordon Hayward's wife does not like SL City or living in Utah. Parents do not like him there either. This was shared last night on ESPN radio. Said all parties involved in the Hayward camp are ready to move on.

Also Miami has been said to be too party like for the Hayward's as they are very midwestern.

nothing in miami except parties and shootings

Having spent a LOT of time in Miami and South Florida, in general, I can tell you the party atmosphere is very overrated. While South Beach has its clubs, the majority are really only on one street (Washington). The rest of Miami Beach is trendy, fun, and beautiful. The city of Miami isn't as pedestrian friendly as Boston, NYC, SF, DC, etc, but there is a lot of energy (and money being spent) throughout the downtown core to compete with other major metropolitan areas.

And if Hayward wants nothing to do with Miami, he can get a beautiful home on a canal in Fort Lauderdale or on a private beach anywhere throughout South Florida. It may not be his first choice in terms of what a city has to offer, but the weather and lack of sales tax are real factors (I know from first hand experience).

I do agree that the fan base sucks and the team has nowhere near as much potential as the Cs. If he chooses Miami, it's not because he wants to win.

[hpantazo]

If he choses Miami, it's because his wife and kids want a great house on the beach. And let's face it, sometimes what the wife wants is all that matters.

Happy wife happy life.

Miami also has alligators and crazy humidity!

I think you guys are forgetting your Granite State neighbors up north, Hayward can definitely settle with his family in one of the many great, idyllic towns in NH. And drive into Boston that is only like an hour away. If he wants ocean he has it in Portsmouth or Hampton. And it would remind him of his Midwest roots. Just saying...

Man I have to admit, I LOVE the variation of results in this poll 

And I feel like the last 8-9 voters all voted "Goes to Boston".

Last I checked it was like 14-11 Boston (very slim lead).
