For the past four years, the New England Patriots have been doing not so bad. Since wining a few Super Bowls (2), with a killer team of Randy Moss and ace QB Tom Brady, they are having an awesome year. Naysayers were worried about Randy Moss but he has been acclimated just fine thank you very much. Go PATS! They recently smashed records too. The Patriots clinched the AFC East for the fifth consecutive season before their eleventh game (in Week 12), only the fourth time since the NFL introduced the 16-game schedule in 1978 that a team had clinched a division title by its eleventh game.[1] (wikipedia) .

The Boston Red Sox capped another World Series (I do not agree with this "name" as the whole world is not competing) within 3 years after having a very long "curse" which we can officially say is now reversed. Plus they are not referring to themselves as "idiots" as Johnny Damon did back in the 2004 season. Plus with some great thinking by the Boston Red Sox, Theo Epstein and their expensive Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka 松坂 大輔, ($51 million dollar man) and other Japanese pitcher Hideki Okajima 岡島 秀樹 have spurred on many new Japanese fans and tourism into Boston. (My sis had a chance to meet him due to her job. She said he was very polite and neat.)

Even the Boston Celtics are doing better than have for a long time now that Paul Pierce has Kevin Garnett to work with him. Sports critics have even said this paring could even rival the days when Larry Bird (back in the 1980's played).

The only team that does well but did not get to win was the New England Revolutions for the MLS CUP during their fourth attempt. Also they made it to the MLS CUP back to back years and despite great efforts they lost earlier this month. They made the finals but did not win recently. They made the finals the last few years to only come up short. I hope the are able to get that elusive title and win.

This year has been a good year overall.
