I used to take a good deal of pride in the quality of sports fans in New York. They’re knowledgeable, enthusiastic, dedicated and they have yet to celebrate a championship by trying to burn downtown.


But, as The New York Times reported on Tuesday, they’re only good as they have to be. Like hormone-hopped males everywhere, if you let them behave badly, they will.



And the people who run the state-owned Giants Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands, have allowed Jets fans to turn a portion of the building into a strip club.

I wonder if any of those fans will be blessing Gillette with their presence in Dec. when we play the Jets ? A much anticipated game by the entire fanbase of NE and I suspect the Pats themselves.

Leinart isn't in either of their leagues. Young or Cutler.

quote:

When I returned home to Boston in September 1985, after 20 years of wandering in the sports desert, my Uncle Jason bestowed upon me a New England Patriots ticket that was once my father's. So over 23 seasons now I have attended almost 200 games in Foxboro in primo seats—there is a reward for holding tickets since the very first season back in 1960—and my wife has accompanied me to the stadium on exactly zero occasions.

In other words, she's not much of a fan. Still, that didn't stop me from trying to explain the venom being directed at the Patriots for running up the score in a succession of lopsided victories (Patriots 49, Dolphins 28; Patriots 52, Redskins 7; Patriots 56, Bills 10). My wife, who by osmosis knows far more about sports than she wants to, looked completely puzzled. I tried once again to explain the ethical issues, and, while her expression didn't change, she started shaking her head. Finally, she blurted out, "What is this, high school?"

That will be a great game.  I'm looking forward to watching it.  I never thought we'd see Favre have this sort of season in the twilight of his career.

Katy, if anyone (even DG) had told me at the beginning of the season that Favre and Green Bay would have done this well, I'd have advised having them committed.

I get it -- the delusional Green Bay fans should have been comitted, but of course anyone suggesting that the Cowboys would be 10-1 now was actually a pessimist. [:D]
