New England: Back-to-back-to-back

Boston Red Sox:

For those Red Sox fans who might think there is nothing else to live for now that they have the long-awaited world championship, here is a unique opportunity for 2005: Becoming the first market to string together consecutive titles in the Super Bowl, World Series, Super Bowl and World Series.

Even before the New England Patriots' victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in Super Bowl XXXIX, the Boston market had achieved the seventh occurrence of a World Series and Super Bowl champion happening consecutively.

The Patriots' latest championship means that this is the third time in history that one market has won a pattern of Super Bowl-World Series-Super Bowl, joining Pittsburgh from 1979-80 and the Bay Area from 1989-90.

What does it all mean? It means being able to say much later that it was one of the best years of your life if you were a sports fan in that market.

On so many levels, the past year has definitely been one of the best ever.
