A lot has to do with the popularity of fantasy football (vs baseball) but the NFL blows MLB out of the water.
So Patriots are the most popular team in New England?

Finally Goodell makes one rational decision. I'm shocked. Can't stand MLB. It's SO 1900s.

I said in "neutral" games, the NFL out scores MLB in Boston.

6 years later and Tunescribe is still whining about baseball / Red Sox.

You know, you guys that don't like baseball don't have to watch it. I don't like golf but I don't go around whining about it everywhere. Regardless of whether you care about baseball or not, the majority of the people in New England do, so whining about the sport isn't going to do anything other than annoy others.

For someone that doesn't like it, Tunescribe sure loves to talk about it. I think it's because of WEEI/Boston Globe which talks more about the Sox than the Patriots.

Hard to shake the memory of the loudest chant at the 2001 SB parade being "Yankees Suck." But the tide may have turned.

It does feel silly to say "Yankees Suck" when that team doesn't play gridiron(unless were talking about a old team from while ago before Pats time).

On a related note... I was at the Pats/Colts game in Indianapolis in November 2003. When the Patriots were dominating early in the game, the Colts fans started chanting "Let's Go Red Sox!"

Must be the band wagoners that cheer for them when Peyton came around.
