What a time to be a New England professional sports team fan! Woot!
The New England Patriots remain undefeated following a 52-7 PASTING of the Redskins. Quit yer whinin’ ol’ ‘skinny. The Pats couldn’t HELP but run up the score when you TURN THE BALL OVER inside the red zone. Sheesh. I do admit feeling a little sorry for my pal Joe Gibbs over there on the sidelines…kinda like watching Tom Landry at the end of his glorious career. So sad. But that moment fleeted on by when the Pats scored yet another TD.  Almost to the halfway point and still wondering who will be the one that fells the mighty Brady.
But the BIG NEWS of the day is this:
The Red Sox are World Series Champs!!
It’s a glorious day in Red Sox Nation. Twice in this decade, after nearly a century-long drought, the Bosox have brought glory to Beantown. And, like last time, they did it in dramatic fashion, winning 7 straight to clinch the pennant and the title. I still think 2004 represents the mightiest and most satisfying collapse of any professional team in my book. Watching the Yankees crumble after posting a 3-0 lead in the ALCS and having the Sox win 8 straight was unforgettable. But this was still pretty good too. For all the talk about the Rockies being on fire, about how hard it was to play and win in Coors Field, about how it would be tough for the Sox to adjust…the Rockies showed nothin’. Their bats had nothin’. Their pitchers had nothin’.
Now, let’s see if we can sprinkle this magic champion dust over the Celtics and Bruins.
Hey Debily – There is much celebrating in Red Sox Nation! Pab was definitely the star with his jig. And yes, those Pats aren’t too shabby either. Colts here we come.
Hey, great to see you here! The first time the Sox won the series, I was on the phone with Dan…that was cool, being able to share it with family. Hopefully the Pats can continue the dynasty! Undefeated season, anyone??
