We tend to focus all of our energy on Boston, and on greater New England, and it is easy to understand why. After all, it has been almost three full months since a team from there won a championship. That much time passes, the locals there tend to get the bends. It has been a cruel wait since Game 5 of the World Series.
Thank God the Patriots are a week away from possibly ending that torturous wait.
It’s easy to understand, of course. Boston is so close by. Hop on a train. Hop on a bus.
