J is for Jeering

Chuck Finder breaks down a recent study by the Philadelphia-based Center for Sport Psychology describing the different fans of different areas. Finder has a little fun ventriloquizing the Pittsburgh fan as an illiterate moron. This is ironic since an ESPN study praised Pittsburgh's fans for having the country's highest "Sports IQ."

Overall rankings of such things are stupid, really stupid, but the information revealed in the details of such a study can be illuminating. Unfortunately, I can't find a copy of the study on the web though it looks like every sports page in America has their own take on what the study says about the fans of their region.
