These are the good old days

For fans of the Boston professional sports teams, these really are the good old days. They awoke Monday morning with each of their four teams as one of the favorites to win the next championship in the respective sports.

Celtics - 2.5:1 to win the 2009 NBA Championship (T2 [w/Cavaliers behind Lakers])
Bruins - 5:1 to win the 2009 Stanley Cup (3rd [behind Sharks, Red Wings])
Red Sox - 8.5:1 to win the 2009 World Series (4th [behind Yankees, Angels, Cubs])
Patriots - 8:1 to win the 2010 Super Bowl (1st)

Will any of them win it all? Who knows? But right now, they are all not just competitive, but competitive at a Championship level.
