7 Championships in 10 years not to include the C's, Pats, and Sox being contenders the years they didnt win...

It has been a good run and I am lucky to have grown up a boston sports fan and witness this amazing accomplishment by are teams!!

I just dont see this ever happening again..

Whats your opinions?

Yeah, you're probably right.

No argument here.  I doubt you'll ever see this much success from one city over a decade again.   Especially not from all 4 major sports.  I can see some team 6-peating or something, while another team also gets 2 championships, but not this spread out, no.

No.  Why will you say "of all time" and then only mention the past 10 years?

Overall, I think NY still has more championships.  Which sucks to admit unless someone can prove me wrong but if you say "OF ALL TIME" there's no arguing with that.

Las Vegas is the best sports city of all time.   Smiley   Tongue  

edite for - NOW if you say "Best sports city in the past decade" then of course...no question.

I assumed that he meant THIS Boston is the best city.  As opposed to the 1920s New York teams, or what have you.

We had a thread about this many years ago, being "Which sports city was the best top to bottom?"  At the time, I believe it was Miami.  The HEAT and Marlins had both won championships recently, the Dolphins hadn't hit rock bottom yet, and the Panthers were your average crap team, but not in the cellar.

Now, there's no question.

Again, using a TWENTY FIVE YEAR snap shot, Chicago could be close:

86  Bears (NFL)
91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98 Bulls (NBA)
'05 White Sox (MLB)
'10 Blackhawks (NHL)
Could be something brewing in Chicago. Bulls and Blackhawks should both be pretty relevant over the next 5 years or so and even the White Sox have assembled a decent team even though it seems to underperform every year. Bears aren't too far away either. It's possible you could see World Championships from all 4 sports from '05 to '15 in Chicago.

And then there's always the Cubbies....

I agree with Maine, Boston doesn't get all time.

But they get the THE BEST DECADE OF ALL TIMES.  From Feb '02 (or Sept 01) thru June 11, the city has seen a level of success no other city has seen.

So I have a question:

When comparing "the best sports city of all time," how many Stanley Cups is an NBA Finals worth?

From 1977-1986 (an actual 10-year-span, not 11 like 2001-2011), NY won 3 World Series, 1 Super Bowl, and 4 Stanley Cups.

Really, this thread could be titled "New York has has bad basketball teams for a long time" and left as is.

It's also too bad that LA lost their NFL teams (specifically, the Rams), as they would have been singing this same song in 2007 after the Ducks won.

Maine, the Giants have been two the superbowl twice in the 2000's 1-1  (lost to the Ravens,and beat the Patriots) to update your stat sheet...

That is all...

I'll second that...
My thoughts are based on...."Boston the best sports city of all time"
I think basing it on "titles won in each sport" tends a bias towards the larger east coast teams (that have tended to be around the longest,or the oldest teams in the leagues)

I think total titles in the big 4 sports.Basketball,football,baseball,and hockey would be a better measuring stick..(even if they don't have one of the sports). Rather than quantifying it with winning at least one title in each sport...I mean Dallas would make a good argument,but technically they don't have a baseball team,the Rangers (are they rally Dallas?),and haven't won a title either...Places like Denver,recently got a baseball team,and get handicapped in this type of discussion IMO.

Even taking total titles doesn't take into account, making it to title games and losing...

Just the way I see it...flame away....
