0-No!
New York fans are neither as vicious as Philadelphians nor as pompous as Bostonians. However, New York fans are willing to drop a team like its hot faster than anyone. While no one is about to be dropped (the Knicks were dropped long ago after Van Gundy) it is amazing to see who the prized pupils are as of late. This week New York fans saw two undefeated streaks snapped; on Sunday the Giants and then on Wednesday the Rangers. Obviously, the losses came in due time, but the streaks are impressive none-the-less. The Giants, the reigning champions, have been called the best team in football lately and at the start of last season, who would have ever thought that? Even losing there flagship players, Tiki Barber and Michael Strahan, in the past two season has been unable to slow them down because of the emerging youth. The Rangers have finished at or around third in the Atlantic conference in the past few years and are of to a lovely start. Fans, do not hold your breath- things go south fast. Teams fade, they face injuries and the firs week is no indication of how the season is going to go. However, it is something for New Yorkers to get a little excited over. Maybe not gloat, but at least a little smirk. Seasons last months for a reason, but in New York, maybe this year it will be a winter wonderland.
