NYC Sports Fans: A Spoiled Bunch
Even Spike is spoiled...although, being a Knicks fan does mean he's suffered too.
New York City is considered the center of the universe. Ask any native New Yorker, they’ll be all too happy to tell you. It is a city where you can do almost anything, see almost anything, eat almost anything, and meet almost anyone. Choices are abundant here. And, for the most part, that is a great opportunity.
Until it comes to sports.
Let’s look at all the teams in the New York Metro area. For sake of argument, the New York Metro area will consist of teams that are geographically located within New York City (all five boroughs), on Long Island, and in the eastern New Jersey area (the Meadowlands, specifically). Baseball fans side with either the New York Yankees or the New York Mets. Football fans can pick between the New York Giants or the New York Jets (neither of which play in NY, mind you). Hockey fans hit the trifecta with the New York Rangers, New York Islanders and the New Jersey Devils. And let’s not forget about basketball fans who can either root for the New York Knicks or the New Jersey (for now) Nets (expected to move to Brooklyn for 2012-2013 season).
Now What…
I’ve been going through post-mortem all day with Giants fans (the ones I know have been fairly gracious in victory – surprising to me given the area of the country that they originate from). I’ve hashed over the Pats inability to stop the Giants rush and the fact that, had the Pats run the no-huddle offense more, they would have negated some of the pressure from that rush like they did on their final TD drive. I’ve marveled at Michael Stahan’s quickness off the ball and the inability of the Pats offensive line (3/5 of which are Pro Bowlers, by the way) to keep up with him. I’ve pondered Brady’s mere mortal performance and wondered why he didn’t just throw the ball to Wes Welker every down – the guy was barely covered. I’ve conceded that Rodney Harrison has no place in our defensive backfield and that our linebacker corps (God love Vrabel, Bruschi, and Seau) are just a step too slow. I’ve done all that…and I still can’t move on.
