BASS: I am a true NEW YORK FAN!
I have my AOL sports alerts set for:
the Knicks and Nets
Yanks and Mets
Giants and JETS
Hockey, has lost me over the years........
but really: to root for all the NYteams requires making some concessions with your reading and viewing time..
and my concession is that I do not follow College ball at all......
I will only watch occasional end games to see mentioned players and see what they look like for possible addition to one of the pro teams......
Now: my heart has wandered over the years, switching from team to team.......
I have leaned towards the Jets, Mets and Nets.....
however: the Knicks are on the verge of a comeback.....
many many moons ago, I was your typical love/hate fan....with the Yanks, Giants and Knicks and Rangers being my mainstays....
however, I have progressed to a point where I really enjoy sports overall and will not root against any NY team....
I also have a few favorites from other cities, long time faves.....
in Football, I always enjoyed the Pack and the Cowboys...and recently have taken interest in New England.....
in Baseball, I have always admired great organizations like the Cardinals and the Bosox.....the Red Sox are much maligned, but like the Yanks, they put a quality winning team out there year after year.......
in Basketball, I was a big Celtics fan over the years....
HOWEVER: in no instance, would I ever truly root for one of these teams over a NY team if they met in the post season....
it is hard for me to "hate" almost any player or team now, I have nothing but respect for most of them and their abilities.....
