The talk of the town in Chicago (and at other places, as neighbours envy!) is the winning streak if Chicago Cubs in the National League baseball matches. Ok, they did loose on Saturday but still everybody here is excited abt their form!
Itz striking here that 4 games that Americans r passionate abt - Basketball, Baseball. American Football and Ice Hockey - and among these, all the tournaments that r famous r local to US.....what i call Ranji trophy matches ;-) Whether itz the National league, NBA, NHL, SuperBowl....all r Ranji trophy-level tournaments - and will any day beat Olympics, or US Open, or may be even Soccer World Cup in popularity charts here. F1 is hardly heard of here....Americans have their own version in Nascar.
Just goes on to show how limited American scope of the world is.....ppl here live in their own world that stops and ends at America, and at maximum extends to the North American continent.
