One teenager's Super Bowl parade sign shows how absurdly fortunate Boston sports fans are
There's a palpable feeling of dislike toward fans of Boston teams in some parts of the sports world. Why? Well, an undeniable primary reason is pure jealousy.
One kid's sign at the New England Patriots' Super Bowl championship parade on Tuesday captured it all perfectly.

(And he's not above gloating about it.) Let's fact-check this real quick.

So this kid's 15? Let's presume he was born in 2001 then, and will turn 16 this year.
Now to crunch the numbers.
In 2002, the Patriots won the Super Bowl.
In 2004, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series. The Patriots also won the Super Bowl that year.
That Pats team also won the Super Bowl in 2005.
In 2007, the Red Sox won the World Series again.
In 2008, the Boston Celtics won the NBA Finals.
In 2011, the Boston Bruins won the NHL's Stanley Cup Finals.
In 2013, the Red Sox won the World Series again.
In 2015, the Patriots won the Super Bowl again. Two days ago, they won it again.
Yep -- count 'em -- that's 10 championships in 15 years. Lucky little dude. At least he seems to appreciate his good fortune.
