It's easy to connect the dots between the Bosox, Patriots, and the . . .

. . . Cradle of Corruption, a.k.a., Boston, MA, after viewing BLACK MASS. Known as Satan's Playground since its suburban Salem witch & warlock days of the 1600s, BLACK MASS documents how James "Whitey" Bulger is one of the Devil's top Earthly minions, exporting his Evil Deeds to places as far-flung as Tulsa, Miami, and Ireland. In the 1900s, America's original "Title Town" sports capital was Detroit, MI. But now, as the Tigers and Lions languish, Bostonians Lord it over the rest of us with three World Series wins and umpteen Deflategators' triumphs in this End Times Century. Anyone who watched those eight-hour games between the Bosox and the Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series could see plainly that "the fix was in." The bribed umpires gave the Bosox an average of four outs per inning, while finding some flimsy excuse to nullify most of the Yankee hits and runs. It STILL took an eternity for the lesser team, famously cursed by the Bambino, to "win." This is foretold 89 minutes, 20 seconds into BLACK MASS when Bulger's pet FBI-agent-turned-convicted-murderer John Connolly tries to bribe the incorruptible non-Bostonian federal prosecutor with Bosox tickets to a game in which the infamous Curt Schilling is pitching. "Boston Strong" sounds like one of Voldemort's mottoes from Harry Potter, when viewed in the context of BLACK MASS. Thanks to this movie, we have proof positive that Bulger is STILL corrupting America's sports scene from his prison cell with his Parseltongue messages to henchmen such as MLB umps, Schilling, NFL refs, and Tom Brady.
