Don't mention the Royals

Wearing my Royals long sleeve henley right now!
Yes, that's right. The Jets also used to have their training camp on Long Island at Hofstra. Not sure if that's still the case. Growing up folks tended to be either Mets/Jets/Isles or Yankees/Giants/Rangers. Im in that first camp so it's been tough 25 years or so. Luckily, the Yankees are crap again, the Isles are good and there's some hope for the Mets.
Forgot the Islanders! Hope you guys see a return to Mike Bossy days. Glad you dumped those crap jerseys with the Morton's fisherman, but I also favor the old design because that was on my table-top hockey game.

"Sometimes, it's tough to pick a team to root for. So why not just ask the teams?
That's exactly what 12-year-old Cade Pope did.
The sixth-grader from Oklahoma wrote a letter to every owner of every NFL team asking who he should support. Of the 32 teams, only one responded.
Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson sent Cade a handwritten letter that stated, "Cade, we would be honored if our Carolina Panthers became your team. We would make you proud by the classy way we represent you."
The letter also came with a replica Panthers helmet signed by Pro Bowl linebacker Luke Kuechly.
"If this is the only team that responds to me, I'm a Carolina Panthers fan," said Pope."

Great story. If I didn't already hate the Panthers, that would make me like them quite a bit.
Kuechly is a great player too. Wish the Saints had someone of his skill. If I wasn't desperately trying to avert the attention of my kid son the SS personality, I'd point him in the direction of someone like Kuechly. As it stands, I bought him a Coleman shirt and he has someone to admire (unless Coleman departs for United, which will be the worst day in my son's thus-short life).
Yeah, the Islanders have been pretty forgettable over the last 20 years or so but that streak of 4 Cups in a row is still incredible. Islanders-Rangers is one of the underrated rivalries in American sports (Rangers fans still have a Denis Potvin chant). Tomorrow night should be interesting. Could see another playoff series this year.

Not NFL obviously but got into Hockey this year (Sleep problems) and I started watching the Isles because I heard them mentioned a few times during Nets game with their move to Barclays. Been really fun to watch and it's a great sport.
Pointless comment time over.

I think the city is pretty divided which a slight advantage to the Giants. The Jets appear to have a bigger following on Long Island. The Giants own NJ and the Connecticut Suburbs.
EDIT: From an article I just read. The Giants have all of northern NJ, upstate NY (Buffalo is Western NY), and Conn suburbs. They also have a majority in Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn. The typical Giant fan likes the Yankees and is the type of person who laid off your dad. The Jets are a bit more more blue collar. They have Queens, Yonkers/Westchester and Staten Is. Long Island is almost 50/50 but leans a bit toward the Giants.

I'm sure Bill Simmons did a thing on How to pick an NFL team, but I may be confusing that with the recent How to pick a Soccer (sic) team article... either way I couldn't find it...

Enjoyed reading that 2008 article as a Jags fan. I guarantee we're in the bottom five on that list now. Misty water colored memories, of before we sucked...
