From our Late to the Victory Party desk

In the wake of the New England Patriots’ improbable Super Bowl win, it’s all over but the touting . . . of Boston as Titletown.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Fifteen years. Nine duck boat parades. All four sports.

The New England Sports High Renaissance of the 21st century continues.

So many memories. So many datelines: New Orleans, Houston, St. Louis, Jacksonville, Denver, Vancouver, Glendale, and, of course, right at home in Boston.

No city has ever enjoyed a period of sports success like this. So let’s do what no one else can do: Let’s rank them.

 

And so he does.

And so does the Boston Herald’s Steve Buckley . . . a day later.

Dunno what the Herald did to tick them off in the interim but once again, Dis-advantage: Herald.

From our late to the Super Bowl Party desk

As the hardreading staff . . . Two-Cartoonist Town . . . and etc., it’s always interesting when the Wasserman/Holbert-Industrious Complex addresses the same topic on the same day.

Exhibit Umpteen was Tuesday’s post-Pats Super Ball.
