"The Nation"

Dear Steve Berthiaume,
You are allowed to call the Boston Red Sox "the Red Sox" from time to time. You are also permitted to call Boston, New England, Fenway Park, and other regions associated with the Red Sox by their actual names. You may call Red Sox fans "fans".
Please refrain from calling each and every one of these people, places, and teams "The Nation". I will give you an allowance of once per show. I am strictly prohibiting your current practice of saying "The Nation" 2-3 times every sentence, and 50+ times per show.
Thank you,
Popeye_Card

I don't even like your "once per show" allowance.
It's just plain dumb. Once per, I dunno, week might be ok.

I'm really sick of the Red Sox.

I've come to grips with them, but that whole "the nation" thing drives me freaking bonkers. I can't imagine anyone out there sitting on their couch in Chicopee, MA saying, "That's right Steve! The friggin' NATION! Wicked awesome buddy!"
So if he's not doing it for Red Sox fans, and he's not doing it for non-Red Sox fans, then why does he continue to do it?

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happens.

Does he repeat the same thing each time Steve says it, or does he just do a big fist pump to show his subsequent approvals? Or point to the B on his cap with one hand, and make a #1 sign with the other?

I believe he picks up his autographed photo of Mark Wahlberg and sheds a tear.

He also has a couple old My Buddy dolls he has modified to look like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
