In Which I Am Called By The Lord To Gather Unto Me That Which Is Mine

In honor of New England’s complete and total dominance over the American professional sporting landscape, I present to you an online quiz. And no, not one of those dumbass “Which Buffy Character Are You?”-type quizzes, but one that actually answers important psychological and sociological questions. Namely:
Are you a bigger Red Sox fan or Patriots fan?
For me, taking this test was the sporting equivalent of Sophie’s Choice. I mean, how can you possibly choose between your children? And, not surprisingly, my test scores perfectly displayed my inner turmoil. I just couldn’t decide!
Now, for those of you out there not blessed enough to have been born within the borders of one of the six New England states, I understand if this test holds absolutely no interest for you. After all, there can be only so many Chosen Ones. And I sympathize with your plight. Really, I do.
PS. As of this writing, the Boston Celtics are currently in first place in the NBA’s Atlantic Division, and, if the playoffs started today, would be the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Just food for thought…
(Update – 2/7: This post previously concluded with a mocking, profanity-laced tirade directed at the good people of New York, in which I pointed out the obvious fact that Boston has now surpassed NY as the Sports Capital of America, and taunted them for their newfound Choker status. However, a friend pointed out to me that the vicious, condescending tone of the tirade made me sound, ironically enough, like a Yankees fan. This simply will not do. Therefore, consider the tirade revoked. Mea culpa.)
