LOL. What's wrong with comparing the Pats to the most successful professional sports franchise of the 20th century.

Maybe its because I didn't grow up here, but I think its ridiculous that most Red Sox fans seem to care more about the Yankees losing than they do about the Red Sox winning.

Not to get off on a rant here, but in '04 I remember more than one caller to WEEI saying saying he hated the Nomar trade. The complaint went something like this>

"What are the Sox trying to do? BUY a championahip? If that's what it takes, I'd rather not win than win like the Yankees!"

What a bunch of morons. The idea is to win, not to fulfill some sick New England tribal angst. Thats why I like the Moss deal. If he helps the Pats win, who cares what else he does? These aren't girl scouts, they're professional football players. Is it win at any cost? Short of cheating, damn well should be.
