Tortured Sports Cities that J&O Fabric Store Honors


Some places hog all the glory in sports. Between the Patriots and Red Sox, New England is up to its ears in trophies this past decade. Between USC and the Lakers, southern California has more championships than it knows what to do with. The University of Florida alone has experienced a ridiculous amount of success having won two championships apiece in football and basketball. Even downtrodden Pittsburgh has won two Super Bowls and the Stanley Cup within a few years.
