The logistics of Boston sporting events are pretty much always a nightmare; it doesn’t matter if it’s the Bruins, Red Sox, Celtics or Patriots. Driving, parking, lodging (if you’re from out-of-town), and all the other fine details of attending a game almost make the actual event secondary to the madness of everything in-between.

So if a simple Celtics game is bad…What would happen if Boston were to host the Olympics? Would the city implode into nothing? Would it sink into the ocean? Would it burn to the ground from the hatred from pretty much every other sports town?

We know one thing: it would be ugly. But that doesn’t mean we can’t come up with some zany Olympic events that would perfectly capture the spirit of the city. WBZ’s David Wade got the Twittersphere going soon after the report of rumored interest in Boston as a future Olympics city:
