And how much do the players we think of as “ours” really belong to the community that roots for them?Guests: Boston sports fans the Varela family, Seth Wickersham, Playwright and Boston fan Tori Sampson, and a Pats fan who converted to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after Brady left.Thanks to Columbus 81 Productions, IC
