    Wait a minute...

    Massachusetts approves gay marriage. The Red Sux finally win. The Patriots win. The Celtics win.

    Spain approves gay marriage. Spain is winning.

    Hmmmmmmmmmm.....

    (Hey, it's as reasonable or as pointless a connection as anything else.)

    Patriots LOST to the Giants.

    Also the Patriots are notorious cheaters!

    3--Yes, much to my delight, but the Pats have won 2 or 3 Super Bowls in recent years.
