Title Town is right...
Nothing like 3 Super Bowls in 4 years...
What I still find surreal is the fact that Boston teams have been so successful of late. We just sandwiched a World Series title between two Super Bowls, becoming the second city ever in history to do so (Pittsburgh,78/79 I think). Amazing. You gotta understand, most cities never come close to experiencing the kind of sports fan euphoria in Boston right now. We as a city came close in the mid-eighties (1986 Pats lost, Celitcs won, Red Sox...well), but it was over a year pretty much, not over a bunch of years. Besides, I was only 10, so I really had no idea. It's had to put into words how good it feels to be here now, particularly after so many years of (sometimes gut-wrenching) heartbreak.
This is Title Town.
Another parade tomorrow.
