Couple of things...Difference between the Bulls run, and the Pats run...During the Bulls run, they were the only team winning in Chicago, while all of the teams here have won championship's. Not only that, but the Pats have gone the longest without a title.
About the Sox having more fans that prefer to watch games in a bar, that might be true, but it never stopped the ratings from being down 10 years ago. Fans will turn on the Pats when they suck, just like they did on the Sox last year, and how they've turned on the Celtics now.
I said this on the Sox forum, but we can argue day and night what town this is, at the end as passionate we are of our sports team, its a bandwagon town. All the Sox gear and pride just recently came out a week ago, it was replaced throughout the years by the Pats and Bruins. And truthfully red sox nation as never been tested with a decade of suck like the bruins, celtics, and old generation of pats fans. I don't think Sox fans would stick around if they had the baseballequivalent of Hugh Millen, Jason Allison, and Dana Barros leading the team.
