"Reason number everything" why I love the Patriots:

Guaranteed contracts or not, do you think Manny Ramirez or J.D. Drew would last 5 minutes under Belichick?

I like the Sox, but I fear this area will miss out on something truly special because they can't take the generational blinders off their faces.

As the TV ratings (and common sense) prove, this just isn't true anymore. People aren't missing this team, even when they're blowing out an overrated Chargers squad, and the Sox are fighting for the division against their biggest rivals and the team everyone loves to hate. Only in the media do the Pats play second fiddle to the Sox anymore, and that's only because it means more money in their pockets if the Sox are on top.

And I agree with the previous folks that say this Sox team is unlikable. I don't consider myself a Sox fan anymore, since they've basically turned into the Yankees, Boston edition, but I've kept an eye on them, and they just seem to have no draw to them.
