Gresh And Zo Respond To GQ's 'Boston vs The World'

BOSTON (CBS) - 98.5 The Sports Hub's Gresh and Zo have run across an article in the GQ online magazine about Boston and Bruins fans. The article negatively sheds light on both, while making a case that the world (outside of Boston) is rooting for the Canucks.

Jonah Keri, who is from Montreal, writes:

The vast, vast, vast majority of Bruins fans are also Sox fans, C's fans, and Pats fans. The Celtics won the city's most recent title, in 2008. If the Bruins win the Cup this year, the Boston pro sports team with the longest championship drought will be the Patriots, who won the Super Bowl in...2004.

Meanwhile, the Canucks have existed for 41 years and haven't won jack. Vancouver had an NBA team once. They were run into the ground by an incompetent stooge, then shipped off to Memphis.

We hope Nathan Horton makes a full recovery. We feel for the 12 Bruins fans who've shunned the city's other franchises and waited nearly 40 years for their shot.

The rest of you? Prepare yourselves for heartbreak. Until the day after Vancouver wins the Cup, when you can watch your first-place Red Sox try to break Boston's Three-Year Curse.

The questioning of the passionate Bruins fans? You serious GQ? There's a ton in this article that's worth looking at and Gresh and Zo do just that!
