But it's still true that Boston sports fans are the "working on Saturday" of sports fans.

So we're adding the World Cup to the one month that also includes pro football, college football, pro basketball, college basketball, baseball, and hockey?

Some may say it's hypocritical of Americans to say Qatar should be disqualified because it's a country built on slave labor.

Why didn't they change the Bucs' helmet?
