about living in a state that has not one professional sports team, is that people here simply don't obsess on sport the way they do in so many other places. And I've lived in Denver, in DC, and in the Kansas City area, so I know what it can be like.

It's also interesting that people here don't even focus that much on the college teams. Maybe they aren't very good, I have no idea. But it's really nice that the front page of the local paper is never dominated by what happened in the game yesterday. When I lived in DC there were times when the most recent Redskins game was front page news for three days running.
