This is the myth (whether true or not) that we always hear.  Not 
being from Boston, I have, maybe, a certain outside objectivity that 
those born in New England might not possess.  I actually think it's 
more or less true, but as a friend here in the PNW (I'm just going to 
call him the Oregon Blazers Dude), anyway OBD (website forthcoming, 
natch) said "Yeah, too knowledgable for their own damn good," and I 
think there's something to that.

Yeah, I agree.  I'd lump in there "fans" who boo at home games (You 
don't boo the home team, folks, you boo the _other_ team -- practice 
hard, you'll get it right), people who root to lose (i.e. tankers), 
and those who take a certain glee in the misperformances of players 
and the team in general.
