As If I Needed Another Reason To Love The Office

Please, people on The Office- stop being so awesome. Steve Carell is breathtakingly hilarious... and a Sox fan. Mose Schrute writes one of my favorite blogs in the world... and is a Sox fan. And now John Krasinski is just piling on with the Sox love. It's almost too much to handle.

John, a Newton native, was recently selected as one of the "61 New Best Things About Boston" by Boston Magazine. And in the blurb about him, he talks about his devotion to Boston sports. The article also happens to contain two of the greatest photos ever taken - this second one is particularly genius:

This all just reaffirms that The Office is the best show on TV. Other than Red Sox Report, of course.

It's nice to know that JKras and my boss's five-year-old cousin have the same sense of style.

P.S. Have you seen the SI cover yet? I need to know if I am the only one who laughed at Buchholz looking so adorably dorky.

Isn't BJ Novak a Sox fan too? In any event, this is a wonderful meeting of two of the Greatest Things Ever. And I have a huge crush on Steve Carell...

I knew that JKras was a Sox fan for awhile, after seeing pictures of him at the Super Bowl with Pats gear on. Someone commented that he was from that area, and a fan of the Red Sox and the Celtics. Yay! I love "The Office!"

I just read an interview with him and this is what he said:

John: Yeah.. [noticing the reporter’s hat] You’re wearing a Red Sox hat. Thank God. Now I feel like I’m home.

AWW! I love 'im and I love The Office and the SOX (obviously)
