Patriots or Red Sox who starts winning again first?

The three of us discussed this briefly on the show. What a time to for us when we were in our late teens all the way up to our early 30’s watching our beloved teams win. Wouldn’t want it any other way. But now in our mid 30’s two of our teams are trash, that being the New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox. The two teams that were synonymous of spending cash and winning championships in that 20 year span. But now I ask who gets back to their winning ways first?

Red Sox ownership has been public enemy number 1 and fans have not been silent on the matter. Last year during the winter weekend, fans boo’d the ownership group. Why? You’re cheap! You’ve traded Mookie Betts for nothing. You trade Mookie so you could have enough money to sign Xander and Devers but you let Xander walk to San Diego. After all the outrage the Red Sox signed Devers but you know that took years off John Henry’s life because they do not want to spend anymore. They have the Fenway group that has ownership in the Pittsburgh Penguins, Liverpool, and they aren’t shy in saying they want to own an NBA or NFL team. In order to be competitive in the MLB you must spend money. Here’s an example.

Or this example.

Money buys talent in this league and if you’re waiting for the nerds to change that you’re going to be at the bottom of the AL East for years to comes.

For the Patriots it’s been wrong move after wrong move. First it was the Mexican standoff with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick one had to go and Robert Kraft chose wrong by keeping Bill while Tom did this.

After the big swing in miss, Robert needed a new face behind center and they demanded that Bill take Mac Jones at 15 in the 2021 draft. While his rookie season looked like they had the next guy they were soon hit with a reality check in 2022 when the region saw Mac Jones act like this.

Instead of the owners realizing they made another mistake they needed a fall guy and that was letting the second winningest head coach in NFL history go with a “mutual” agreement. Instead of having a line of coaches come in and interview for the open position, the krafts gave the job to Jerod Mayo who had ZERO head coaching experience.

So going into 2024 we have the Red Sox who refuse to spend money and the Krafts who want to give the keys to the city to a guy who’s never coached before and officially start the rebuild. Who and when will be back to the winning ways? It’s going to be a while for whoever it is and we are officially back to living in the early 90s with both franchises.
