I can't imagine living in a city without winning teams like the Pats,

Sox and at times Bruins and Celts. But with all of the Pats nation excitement ALL around us, has Patriots Nation eclipsed Boston itself? A few years back, I always felt that our great city itself was always at the top of the list of popularity, followed by our sports teams, music and arts scene, and the night-life.

I wonder now, if Boston itself bows to a new B, named Brady. Perhaps during football season, that's just fine.

To lighten this heavy moment, take a look at this cool LEGO Patriots mural made by Peabody school kids and their brilliant teacher.
