Although the New England Patriots have won five Super Bowl titles over the past 15 years, today marked the first time I had attended one of their parades.
There was a very simple reason. The parade and rally concluded at Boston City Hall and my office is opposite it. So as you can see by the picture I quite literally had a bird's eye view of the proceedings.
It was quite a chaotic scene. Millions of people, many of them sloshed out of their skulls. Bad weather. But I have no doubt that fans from the 31 other NFL teams would gladly trade places with us none more so than Atlanta.
Honestly, it has been an embarrassment of riches over the past 15 years - five Super Bowl titles, three World Series championship, a NBA Final and a Stanley Cup. To paraphrase President Trump, "Boston has done so much winning it should be sick of it."
Of course the nature of Sunday's epic comeback renders such a sentiment impossible. Indeed, the crowd chanted, "We want six!!!" We want six!!!"
Once you start winning you don't want to stop and expectations don't get any higher than in Boston.
Still, it's important to enjoy the good old days.
