How good we have it
I'm certainly not the oldest on the forum but at 43 having lived my entire life here I remember the lean years. The run since 2001 has been insane getting 7 titles and being within a play or two of the Patriots having two more, the Celtics another one and the Red Soxs another one. It won't always be like this for some of the younger fans who probably have become used to it. Soak it in.
This is a list of Cities with all four major sports teams and the distance between all 4 teams winning and how far they are out from their last title. Some of these cities are using multiple teams just to get on the board. Even if you discount somebody like Miami since the Panthers are a fairly new franchise it's still a 33 year span for the other three teams.
Hopefully the Pats can help break the current record or all 4 teams in 7 years and make it 3 years.
