John Krasinski to ESPN on his Boston fandom: “I guess you guys hate winning’’
He has zero time for rude Boston sports questions.

Glad to see John Krasinski hasn’t lost sight of his Bostonian roots.
The Newton-bred actor stopped by ESPN’s His & Hers to promote his new Michael Bay-directed movie 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, out January 15 — and also apparently to be bombarded with rude questions like, “You do understand, as a Boston sports fan, why the rest of us consider you guys to be really annoying?’’
“Um, I don’t know what you’re talking about,’’ Krasinski told co-host Jemele Hill. “I guess you guys hate winning and legacy and dynasty teams.’’
Co-host Michael Smith then joked about Hill’s admiration for all things Brady and Gronk off the field (you know, like Uggs and twerking).
Hill replied: “But Boston sports fans, you have a certain way about you.’’
“I know,’’ Krasinski said. “We have this way of winning that’s really annoying. I think it’s in your blood when you come out, I think you have a Good Will Hunting tattoo and a Patriots jersey on your back. I have mine, it’s wearing off.’’
Krasinski then added: “It’s really exciting and it’s fun to be from a place that has so much tradition and so much legendary sports stories to tell my daughter one day very soon.’’
Bye. Now we’ll leave a video of John Krasinski’s best impression of Bill Belichick.
