The Boston Red Sox just won the World Series. The New England Patriots are undefeated. Boston College climbed to #2 in the BCS. The New England Revolution is in the MLS Cup final. And, the Boston Celtics are 4-0 and off to their best start in years.
But, let's curb the enthusiasm. The Red Sox won the World Series. And, while the Pats are regarded as the best team in the NFL, they aren't the defending Super Bowl Champions. The Colts won the Super Bowl last year and might have defeated the Pats last Sunday if they had a healthy WR corps (it's also possible that Marvin Harrison wouldn't have made a difference).
Boston College is one of the best teams in the worst of the big six college football conferences (the ACC) and just lost to Florida State after eeking one out against Virginia Tech. And, Matt Ryan's Heisman chances went in the toilet the same time the Eagles' national title hopes did ... on the interception return for a TD by FSU.
The Revolution may very well win the MLS Cup. Or, maybe they won't. But, the only reason I know they are playing for the cup is because of the Boston connection. An MLS Cup win is a minor victory at best.
Now, we're down to basketball and hockey. While the Celtics are 4-0, the Boston Bruins are pretty mediocre.
When baseball season comes around next year, it's possible that the Red Sox and Pats will be champs, with the Celts in control of the East. But, for the mean time, let's relax a bit and quit toasting Boston as the championship hog it really isn't ... yet.
