    This just says it all.

    Super Bowl XXXVI (2002) - Patriots
    Super Bowl XXXVIII (2004) - Patriots
    Super Bowl XXXIX (2005) - Patriots
    2004 World Series - Red Sox
    2007 World Series - Red Sox
    2008 NBA Finals - Celtics
    2011 Stanley Cup Finals - Bruins
    2013 World Series - Red Sox
    Super Bowl XLIX (2015) - Patriots

    If you count the Championship game/series appearances, then it goes to 13.

    Super Bowl XLII (2008)
    2010 NBA Finals
    Super Bowl XLVI (2012)
    2013 Stanley Cup Final

    You could also include their MLS team which hasn't won a title but has had 5 MLS Finals appearances since 2001.

    2002 MLS Cup Final
    2005 MLS Cup Final
    2006 MLS Cup Final
    2007 MLS Cup Final
    2014 MLS Cup Final

    I don't think we'll ever see a city go on a run like the kind of run Boston has been on since 2001. Just crazy.

    Meh

    Only two real sports in there - Basketball and football, the real football not the fake tough guy sport eggball with limited skill required and limited tactics where grown men grab each other.

    SO in reality Boston have:

    2008 NBA Finals - Celtics

    Very mediocre to have 1 title over 10 years in what is known to be a big sports city.

    What coach cut you?

    or

    How many times were you last pick?


    You're doing the old republican, I'm not gay thing and end up in the bathroom stall with another guy thing.


    Why the hate with football? You come to every football post to let people know you hate football.

    Dude I might be wrong but I think he is hating on AMERICAN (GRIDIRON) FOOTBALL and not Football/Futbol.

    I think "leroy" understood his post but like I said man, I might be wrong. Othewise he would have mentioned the Patriots SB wins.

    Anyway as a Bahstahn sports hater I thought his post was pretty funny except for the fact that all are sports and there's no "REALER"and tougher sport than Ice-Hockey imo.

    I liked Michael Che's line on SNL this week, "As far as the Superbowl, I'll be rooting for the blackest city in America against the most racist place I've ever been to."

    Some 15 yr old kid from Boston had a sign that said "15 years old and 10 parades".

    That's crazy!!

    The definition of sports to that (and every other) 15 year old is basically teams trying to band together to stop Tom Brady and LeBron James from lifting the championship trophy every year. It's unreal how dominant the two of them have been in this decade.
