It was an old blog entry that essentially pointed out a traffic anomoly, and not a continued trend. Each month, Nielson/Netratings writes up a summary of the year over year statistics. The study referenced was measuring October 2004 (the month that the Red Sox one the world series) to October 2005 (a month of nothing much special happening.) Boston.com posts their <a href="http://www.nytdigital.com/learn/statistics.html" rel="nofollow">monthly page views and unique visitors</a> and you can see the traffic spike that the 2004 World Series caused. I think to keep the pace of traffic growth that they saw in 2004, they'd need the Boston area not only to get better teams that can win more championships, but I think they'd even need to have more professional sports for people to follow.
