(D. Clarke Evans/NBAE/Getty Images)  So I fly to Providence,
Rhode Island on business the night of the crucial Suns/Spurs
game, and I arrive at my hotel just before tipoff. Not having
eaten dinner, I race upstairs to my room to drop my bags,, then
run back down to the hotel bar for a sandwich and to watch the
game. The Yankees have just beaten the Red Sox in ten innings,
so I figure I should have the television to myself. I settle in
at the bar and wait or my turkey club between one guy named
Sully, and another named O’Brien. The following is a transcript
of our conversation, with a handy pronunciation guide thrown in
for you non-New Englanders.  ADAM BEECHEN (to bartender): Excuse
me, could you change the television over to ESPN and the
Suns/Spurs game?  SULLY: Whaddayou, nuts?  AB: I’m sorry?
SULLY: The Sox (SAWX) game is on, man!  AB: Uh, the, uh, game is
over, I thought.  O’BRIEN: Yeah, but the post-game show is on.
AB: The postgame show?  O’BRIEN: Yeah, you know, where they talk
(TAWK) about the game?
