The evening was also a production of the team's coronation as Stanley Cup. A firetruck brought the Cup to the Garden through a gauntlet of uniformed police, firefighters, and soldiers. The players brought the Cup to the ice and raised the new banner with help from Bruins' legends like Bobby Orr, Derek Sanderson, and Milt Schmidt.

The summer-long Cup fun is over, the players got their much-earned rings - 505 people got rings, even Tomas Kaberle, we think - that are almost as big as the Cup. Okay, not quite.

It comes at a great time, too. The Jets come to town for the first time since January's playoff win over the Pats. Brady knows they need every bit of the playbook on Sunday. He said: "We've got a huge one this weekend. This is one we've got to go get."

Tom Brady reverted to his error-free play with an efficient 16-30, 226-yard performance that included two more touchdown passes. While Brady's interception-free game gets the headlines, the Patriots benefitted from a balanced offensive attack. Oakland led early, by a 10-7 score early in the second quarter. The Patriots, who gained 184 yards on the ground, scored the next 17 points thanks to rushing touchdowns from BenJarvus Green-Ellis (75 yards) and Stevan Ridley (97 yards), and a field goal from Stephen Gostkowski.

As for fans, well, you were there last week and we're moving forward as Bill Belichick might say. We'll start with Tom Brady. He chopped that hair right out of his helmet and we hope he has met his yearly interception quota. He tends to respond well after having bad games. Brady is 4-1 in games after he throws four interceptions. He's 25-6 after a loss.

Call it Heimlich Day. Terry Francona and Theo Epstein eulogized the team's total collapse of 2011 with some blunt comments to try and explain the 7-20, uhhh, effort in September. They started with themselves. "This year, we weren't at our best," Theo said. "I can say that about myself. Tito and I talked about it and I think he'd say the same about himself." He also said part of the post-choke analysis requires management to evaluate themselves to see if they should stay in their current jobs.
