Go to Boston and say the Sox/Pats/Bs/Clts suck, you will be in an alleyway getting your ass kicked in. You might actually die.
That's just, well.. That's just not even close to being accurate.
I understand that was likely true, but everyone will tell you that has changed in a big way since the Sox won in 2004. I haven't seen a single fight at Fenway. That place is behind only Wrigley field for most pink hats at a park. It's more of an event than a baseball game until the playoffs start. Then it gets rockin, and the diehards find the coin to leave the bars for Fenway. Celtics fans are predominantly white collar, affluent, and have very little interest in dogging other teams not named LA. The Garden gets loud, even very loud, but it's not an overtly aggressive crowd by nature. Pats fans are quite literally one of the nicest fan bases I've ever seen, and I'm not being sarcastic. Obnoxious, absolutely. But go to Gillette.. For every two guys with leg tattoos and brass knuckles from Springfield, there are 10 families from Andover in brand new Tahoes.
Now, the Bruins.. That's really the only exception. It's a pretty rough crowd that has maintained that old Boston blue collar attitude. Very aggressive, very forward, very interested in fighting Montreal fans.
If you want to see crowds like you described, I'd recommend going to Philadelphia or Oakland. Or, if you want to see a psychotic, self loathing fan base, go to Buffalo. Place is a riot.

Buffalo is not aggressive at all. I’ve been to the Key Bank Center a few time for Sabres games and they are all pretty nice. And the Bruins are one of their rivals. I’ve also been to a Sabres Devils game up there just cause it was like $15 and nobody was interested in fighting Devils fans or anything. Sad but nice.

Atmosphere at Key Bank is miles away from atmosphere at Ralph Wilson Stadium...during hockey games, that arena can be eerily quiet. Football, I'd imagine that Bills fans are the rowdiest in the league, Seahawks' decibel level notwithstanding. Much as with mwj's description of the varying atmospheres at the different Boston venues, it's much different for football v hockey in Buffalo. Now, maybe if you were to travel back in time to the Memorial Auditorium in the '90s for Sabres hockey...but even then, it was only a bit rowdier than it is now, as far as I remember anyway
as OP, you have nothing to apologize for. Sidetracking is part of the life blood of all these threads.
Threads here are like the old game of "telephone" where kids sat in a circle with one person saying a sentence or two into the next person's ear and that sentence passes around the whole group....and the last person says it out loud and everybody realizes it sounds nothing like where it began.
So Matt, stop apologizing and stick to the topic and answer the question: Which makes walking more difficult and painful: blister or bone spur?
lol...appreciated. There are some people here who don't have your attitude, heh
You can start with the Cowboys, i.e. “America’s team” (no hint of modesty there!) and loudmouth obnoxious crass Mark Cuban’s ownership of the Mavs. And of course the Rangers are notable for lodgings straight World Series and once being owned by W — Mr. Weapons of Mass Destrution and Mission Accomplished.
Says more about Dallas than I want to know. I sure hope the REAL Dallas isn’t represented by these teams ‘cause they do not give city a good rep.
What's unfortunate is you are judging a city based on who owned a sports team and as if Dallas has a say on who owns the teams. It is ridiculous that would say anything about Dallas. The Cowboys did not name themselves America's Team. It was given that name by NFL Films.
Its clearly Pittsburgh. You should have added it to the poll.
