Championships in what most Americans consider the four “major” sports…Football (NFL), Baseball (MLB), Basketball (NBA), and Hockey (NHL).
Football:
New York Giants/New York Jets: 5
New England Patriots: 3
Since New York has two teams and Boston only one, this would
indicate a virtual tie. Although New York does win the “If you
predict a Super Bowl EVERY year eventually it’s bound to happen”
Rx Ryan positivism approach.
UPDATE: Ditto.
Baseball:
New York Yankees/New York Giants/New York Mets/Brooklyn Dodgers: 35
Boston Americans/Boston Braves/Boston Red Sox: 8
Utter domination by New York.
Basketball:
Rochester Royals/New York Knicks: 3
Boston Celtics: 17
Utter domination by Boston. In fact, the ratio against New York here is even more than the ratio for them in baseball.
Hockey:
New York Rangers/New York Islanders: 8
Boston Bruins: 6
Since New York has two teams and Boston only one, this would
indicate a virtual tie…actually, it would indicate Boston as doing slightly better, but hey, who’s counting?
So basically, what we have is a draw. So all stupid, ignorant,
obnoxious (as opposed to real) New York sports fans should really
get their story straight… is it who’s better NOW, or in the past?
When the Yankees win, it’s who’s better now. When they lose,
it’s who WAS better. When the Knicks lose, it’s…ummm…wait til next year. When the Jets lose, it’s…ummm…well…wait til next year.
In fact, statistically, Boston has won more championships per team on the average than New York.
New York Total: 10 Teams, 51 Championships. That’s 5.10 per team.
Boston Total: 6 Teams, 34 Championships. That’s 5.66 per team.
UPDATE: After the Giants win, NY only needs 5 more to (almost) tie Boston. Keep reaching for the stars!
Oh wait! Anticipating the “New England isn’t just Boston!” comments…
That means Boston has 5 teams, 31 Championships. That’s over 6 per team.
UPDATE: You can include Buffalo teams, too…if you want to see even more of an edge for Boston. I mean, it’s just sad that some people base their own lives and self-confidence on a false belief of sports “Supremacy”.
