In these glory years of the New England Patriots, this Red Sox fan wonders why the Patriots (who will be playing in yet another AFC Championship game next weekend) could not have been good in the 1970s? You see, unlike a great portion of Red Sox fans, this writer is not a Patriots fan. This writer is a Dallas Cowboys fan.
1975 was the year yours truly became a sports fan. This was the year of Fred Lynn and Jim Rice and the incredible Red Sox season that year, captured on a new invention that arrived at my household that year.
