HEY NOW JIGGA......I agree with you MOST of the time, however I've got to step up for my 'peeps' in NYC. I was at ND when the Despise-a-BULLS were in their heyday and the Chicago Domers were INSUFFERABLE and let their homerism blind them to reality (like that "YYYYEESSS" windbag who does White Sox games...).
I do agree with you about LALA Land tho. Any city who leaves games regularly in the 6th inning or 3rd quarter, aren't real fans...At least Chitown and NYC (and Philly, where I'm from and for whom I root for) actually are knowledgable and CARE about their teams and don't go to games for social events.
As a Sox fan, I'd join anyone if they wanted to beat down Ken Harrelson. Worst announcer in baseball. In term of being real fans, all the cities mentioned fit the bill. Impatient, high expectations, great times.
New York is good for a lot of things. One being Isiah Thomas continuing to take the cancer right out of the Bulls. First Jamal Crawford, now Eddy Curry. For a guy that used to kill them as a player, he sure does them favors as a GM. I know some Cub fans that would LOVE to see the Mets or Yankees get Kerry Wood and Corey Patterson. Interested?
SC fans are living it up right now, as they should. Every program has periods of Golden Age. They come and go. SC is back again after some down time. Fact is, other programs are going to step up that much more. UCLA has 20 commits already. When these guys start to turn pro, turnover is going to hit them. They'll still be good, but not this good.
I hate the Lakers. Another ESPN favorite.
