The Red Sox are still the black sheep in my book. With how much money is dumped into that team they should have at least 5 championships.

I just don't understand the hatred for the other sports teams in Boston. I frequent message boards for the other three teams, and the only place I see such hatred for the other three teams is on this board. It's truly bizarre. I mean, Christ, you can't go to a Celtics game and not see a Patriot player. Bellichick was at the Bruins games. Watch Red Sox postgame, and David Ortiz is wearing Bruins gear. I don't understand how this cohesion doesn't transfer to some fans.


As, I said I'm a fan of all four teams with the Patriots probably being my favorite, but the fact of the matter is is that the Patriots are the black sheep of this town right now. Entitled or not, since 2004, the Patriots have brought this town more heartbreak than all the other teams combined. 2006 AFCCG, 2007, 2010 against the Jets. Those are all some of the worst losses any team can ever experience.

**** em...**** all of em!!!! I'll trade that stanley cup in for a lombardi in a heartbeat. My precioussssss.....

In all seriousness...you can't really call the Patriots the black sheep imo...even if they haven't won the superbowl they have been one of the best teams in the league and probably have more wins over that time period than anybody. A 4th title is on the horizon....

It's stupid non-stories like Florio's and the commercially-driven ignoring of the Patriots by the Globe (I wouldn't have believed it until I started reading the paper) that lead to resentment.

Well done, Bruins! Enjoy the celebration, Boston!

Florio cannot comprehend that none of this is about rivalry, it is about having some very good teams, very good coaching and lots of championships.. if he raises this, he will never understand.

The story doesn't bother me. I think the main point, even with Florio, is that Boston/NE sports fans have had it so good that the Patriots -- the PATRIOTS! -- now have the longest title drought. It's a fact that only resonates because the Patriots are still the model of excellence in perception and reality.

That's exactly it- it's just tongue in cheek humor. Nothing serious.
