HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS SHOWED UP FOR THE PATRIOTS SUPER BOWL PARADE IN DOWNTOWN BOSTON. THE MOST COMMON CHANT WAS “NEXT YEAR RIGHT HERE.” THE SUPER BOWL PARADE COMES 4 MONTHS AFTER THE CITY CELEBRATED THE RED SOX 4TH WORLD SERIES TITLE IN 15 YEARS.
HOW LONG CAN A CIGAR BE STORED? THE QUESTION BECAME APPROPRIATE WHEN PATRIOTS OWNER ROBERT KRAFT WALKED INTO THE LOCKER ROOM AFTER THE SUPER BOWL AND STARTED HANDING OUT 50-YEAR-OLD CIGARS.
