			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This may be a little premature, but there are no major championships left to be decided this year. But, I want to get some discussion on this topic going.  So, I have two questions for the sports fans out there.</p>
<p>What was the best city to be a sports fan in 2008?</p>
<p>What was the worst city to be a sports fan in 2008?</p>
<p>I think the best city argument can come down to a few different cities.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/boston-sports-si-covers.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-810" style="border: 5px solid black; margin: 5px; float: left;" title="boston-sports-si-covers" src="http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/boston-sports-si-covers.jpg" alt="Boston - Best Sports City in 2008" width="255" height="191" /></a>1. Boston</p>
<p>Positive: Super Bowl runner up, Return to NBA dominance with their first championship since the 80&#8217;s, and another post season run in baseball.</p>
<p>Negatives: The Tom Brady injury, Tom Brady went to Michigan, lost the super bowl in which they were heavily favored and ruined their historical season.</p>
<p>2. New York</p>
<p>Positive: Their improbable super bowl win puts them in contention for the year.</p>
<p>Negative: the Yankees didn&#8217;t make the playoffs this year for the first time since the early 90&#8217;s, Brett Favre moved there.</p>
<p>3. Philadelphia</p>
<p>Positive: First World Series win in over 20 years.</p>
<p>Negative: Franchise QB doesn&#8217;t know the rules of football.</p>
<p>4. Detroit       &#8211; Positive: NHL championship&#8230;which is pretty neat&#8230;I guess; finally got rid of Matt Millen; Pistons made another post season run.</p>
<p>Negative: Detroit Lions still winless after 10 games, the Detroit Tigers in general, and it&#8217;s in Michigan.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think you can argue that Seattle was the worst city in which to be a sports fan this year&#8230;maybe worst of all time.</p>
<p>Postives: &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;coffee?</p>
<p>Negatives:  Lost NBA team to Oklahoma City, Kept WNBA team, Mariners were basement dwellers, the Seahawks are horrible and apparently the Space Needle doesn&#8217;t actually go to outer space.</p>
<p>What city do you think was the best?</p>
