With the Red Sox, Patriots, and Celtics all likely winning titles this year. Will Boston be most dominant ever
Has one town ever owned 3 titles before? The n.e. revolution are probably going to win the mls soccer title on sunday as well, but i'm not counting soccer to be fair. Why are Boston teams the best?
It's a great time, to be a Boston/New England sports fan... now if the Bruins would lace up their skates and do something... things would be compelte.
It must be the open minds of the New Englanders. They are open to new ways of thinking about things, and doing things.. they've revamped the front offices of the winnng sports fanchises....
