Back in March, Boston magazine ran a piece by Theo Epstein on why Boston is a great sports town. He compares his life in San Diego:
Next you notice that people don’t talk about sports – not in the office, not at bars, not on the street. They just don’t care. There’s no buildup to the game, no sense of personal stake in the outcome. Fans don’t walk around with their heads down after a tough loss.
Edit: dang, Blogger ate my “he compares his life in San Diego” line initially, which means this post made no sense.
