| Re: Once again, Boston can't take a joke
Also. Can I mention for the record......
This shit all about winning. I felt the same way you guys did when the Yankees were beating the Sox down for a decade and a half. So I get it and everything, but its just weird when a city that was known as "lovable losers" ala Chicago is now, is so hated by the hardcore fan outside of this area. It all comes down to winning.
Honestly, if you took all the players out of Pats uniforms and put them in YOUR favorite teams colors and they always played there etc. How would you feel about your team? You would be pretty damn proud.
This is something that comes around once in a lifetime (The big 3 sports being championship winners/contenders) for a long period of time. This will be something you talk to your grandson about when you are smoking a cigar on a porch in 2050, whether you liked Boston teams or not.
I also think most people outside of the Boston area realize just how much we wanted those first Superbowl and World Series titles. It was like a relief was let over the city when the Pats won in 2001 and the icing on the cake when the Sox won. Now its just nice to be on the other end of the broomstick for a chance.
Does all that make sense? |
