Yawkey Way, Beacon Rd., "The Hub", Fenway Park. These are names that every New Englander can associate with fo 8 months out of the year. It's BOSTON, home of the 2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS, the RED SOX!!!! But now that October has come to a close, and we're already holding one trophy, fans refocus their attention just a short drive south west of BOSTON.
Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, Massachusetts. Football fans all over the country are now being familiarized with more New England geography as the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS are well on their way to an undefeated season! And Sundays now are nothing but loyal fans glued to the TV once again to cheer on their team as they try to acomplish what only one other team in history has done...a perfect season.
But when Miami did it, the season wasn't as long. There are 2 extra games now. And Sunday would prove to be quite a test as the only two teams in the league still undefeated would meet each other, and as luck would have it, it would be what has turned into quite a rivalry over the recent years. The Indiannapolis Colts, led by Peyton Manning, were 7-0, having already had their bye week. The NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS, led by TOM BRADY, were 8-0, but only one would end the game without a blemish on their record.
As you may have guessed, it was quite a battle. Indy was able to do what no other team had done yet this season...stop NEW ENGLAND from scoring on their first drive. Indy's running game would prove to be quite difficult for NEW ENGLAND to stop and Indy led the score most of the game. But, in true PATRIOTS style, they would regain the lead after a 4th quarter come back and keep Indy from scoring again. So for the first time in 4 seasons, Peyton lost to NEW ENGLAND. And now all of NEW ENGLAND have set their sights on another championship!!!! and another piece of history!!!!
And if the beginning of the seasons are any indication,,, it looks like the CELTICS and the BRUINS will be on top of their divisions as well...the RED SOX SWEPT the WORLD SERIES...Can BOSTON SWEEP all the championships???? For the first time ever, BOSTON fans have a chance to watch ALL their teams have great seasons in the same year!!
