The Red Sox have won their first World Series since 1918, killing the Curse of the Bambino.

The New England Patriots have won the Super Bowl two out of the last three years and are on a 21-game winning streak.

Now Boston's romantic notions of heartbreak will be shifted to the Boston Celtics who haven't won a title since 1986.

They have grounds that they have been afflicted with a curse, with the deaths of Len Bias and Reggie Lewis.  The failures of Rick Pitino.

Danny Ainge, a member of the Celtics championship teams of the 1980's is in control now and rebuilding the team around Paul Pierce.

They're not going to win the title now and Boston is likely happy about that, as they're no longer tragically suffering from their Red Sox.
