As much as the Patriots have won with their dynasty in the 2000s, and once more in the 2010s...they are still the 2nd fiddle team in New England. Boston (and surrounding areas) is a baseball town. Always has been, always will be. It's not like Pittsburgh or Green Bay where football is life, or Philadelphia or Chicago where all 4 sports are pretty much equal (with football de facto #1 because it's the NFL).
10 years ago, I would not have taken the joy as I do now exploring the destroyed commonwealth. Their fans were more tolerable back then.
