WOW, you may be interested to learn that football fans in Baltimore were pulling for the Patriots, in spite of the fact that it was they who knocked off the Ravens (that "alleged" football team) in the playoffs. But then, all the world loves to see an underdog prevail; it adds immeasurably to the fun. Good on yer, as they say in Oz.

NOTE: Now I'm really having an identity crisis. You say the Patriots are from Boston? Guess I should be supporting them then hey? What happened to the Red Sox - or the Celts for that matter? I'd root for them but I'm not the one who decides when I'm rooting

Nope ... toooo cold for this old lady! Instead had best seat in the house - in front of my TV where Channel 5 showed the entire celebration - two and a half hours of it! The parade from Boston Common to Government Plaza where (it was estimated) half the population of New England gathered to cheer for the New England Patriots. And not a single incident of rowdyism. What a day!

from Wow--. And not a single incident of rowdyism Yes, every sportscaster i heard commented about it.. Jay Leno had the explaination.. its been so long since a Bean town team actually won a championship of any kind-- the sport fans don't know how to celebrate..They have never seen such celebrations up close. they are at a lose.. they milled about in the Commons.. happy.. but clueless as how to behave.
