"The best decade in professional sports history" As a Boston sports fan thru & thru, I remember the days growing up, when I was only six or seven years old, and the Celtics won some titles with Bird, McHale, Parrish, D.J. and company. As I got older the Patriots didn't win much, if at all, with guys like Steve Grogan, Irving Fryar, John Hannah, and Andre Tippett. The Bruins would come close and not quite make it, with Cam Neely, mean hockey player, and Ray Bourque, old #77. And the Red Sox... With Jim Rice, a young Roger Clemens, and Wade Boggs before he defected to Yankee Stadium and rode the damn horse after they won one of their many World Series titles... well... let's just say I took my lumps from the Yankees more seasons than I'd like to remember. Things got a little better for the Pats, making it to the Super Bowl in 1985, and again in 1996, losing both of course. Rick Pitino came to Boston and ruined us for a while, though I am grateful that he did draft "Truth", Paul Pierce, the only good thing he ever did for the Celtics. But all of the sudden, out of nowhere, came Bill Belicheck, and a skinny little California kid, the #199th pick in the NFL draft, and we beat "The Greatest Show On Turf" in the Super Bowl in 2001, won it again in 2003 & 2004! The Red Sox became the only team in any sport to forge a comeback from being down 0-3 in a playoff series, vs the Yankees, going on to end the 86-year nightmare we endured for a few generations. The Celtics brought in Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen to join Paul Pierce and won a NBA title in 2007. In that same year, The Red Sox won another World Series, the Pats went 16-0, broke a bunch of single-season records, made it to the Super Bowl, fell just short of the Perfect Season, so close! Then in 2010-2011, the Bruins won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 39-years, the only one I've seen in my life! People used to say, "Hey dude, you guys will do it next year, you'll be better...", it has turned from sympathy into hatred for Boston sports. I can't say I'm upset about it, from 2001-2011 we have one at least one title in every major sport! Whatta decade for Beantown!! As a Bostonian/New Englander I was born to hate New York sports teams, kinda like vampires and werewolves in the movies, we are natural born enemies. But no matter what anyone, from anywhere says or thinks, the City of Boston has the most professional sports championships of all-time!! I am proud of where I come from, and I will never forget the best decade in not just Boston sports history, but the greatest decade in professional sports history! Cheers to Beantown!!!
