BOSTON - Boston has become a giant street party as the city celebrates the New England Patriots' sixth Super Bowl win.Hundreds of thousands of jubilant fans are packing downtown as the team is being paraded through the city. Red, white and blue confetti is raining down as giddy players and their families wave from atop open-roofed vehicles.
