DC Sports fans = DC Botchers
Interesting piece in the Post yesterday about DC sports fans. Pretty much sums up the bizarre transient vibe here:

Best quote was from Tim Russert's son, “In Buffalo, it’s the sport teams. . . . Whereas in D.C., yeah, we root for our teams, but we’re much more defined by the brainpower in our city, the politics, the gentrification, the think tanks, the programs. In a town that has so much opportunity, the sports kind of get marginalized.”
Ah yes, the "brainpower" meaning busted chicks that believe their changing the world at think tanks, and yuppies living in cookie cutter condos.
One shout out is to David Gregory, who usually shills for anyone with power, actually didn't become a DC fan after living her for such a long time.
