There's no option for both the Devils and the Nets.

Knicks

And Islanders too, but my interest in the sport has eroded almost completely in recent years. The teams I root for the most are the Mets, Knicks, and Royals.

Baseball... He's a member of sbn's (KC) Royals Review

though I’m curious why he’s a fan of theirs, as I’ve always found that team loathsome.

Giants, maybe the islanders, but the NBA can rot for all I care, it's an abomination of a "sport"

Mostly I just root for them to decide baseball season should be yearround

Islanders AND Rangers?

Never heard of anyone rooting for both teams.

by graves9 on Feb 20, 2012 1:44 AM EST up reply actions  

Baseball is what matters most.

But l enjoy other sports.

I’m a Jets fan who doesn’t understand the NYG / NYJ rivalry. I don’t hate the Giants, and in the event the Jets are terrible, I enjoy seeing the Giants win. This is contrary to baseball, as I will forever hate the Yankees, unless they’re playing the Phillies in the World Series. (please God, not again). I used to be a Knicks fan back in the days of Ewing, Houston, etc. After Ewing retired, and I grew older, I realized how worthless the entire franchise is because of their owner, and stopped watching basketball. I’ve been getting back into it the past few years, but as long as Dolan owns the Knicks, they will never win anything. I’ve now been calling myself a Nets fan for the past 2-3 years. When it comes to hockey, go Rangers.

In conclusion, I hate New York. But I do love our sports; save for the Yankees.

by Ambient on Feb 19, 2012 12:53 AM EST reply actions  

Mostly ditto

I have no problem rooting for both NYG & NYJ, if only because all their rivals are so dispicable. NE, PHI, DAL, MIA, and WAS can all eat poop and die. It’s hard to root against Buffalo because c’mon.

by hotspur on Feb 19, 2012 5:27 PM EST up reply actions  

Mets

Then Giants. The Rangers used to come after the Mets, but my like of football has eclipsed my like of hockey over the past couple of years. The Nets come next, but somewhere at the bottom.

Mets and the Washington teams

I’m a sports freak though, so I still spend a huge amount of time watching teams I don’t care about. For some reason I’ve been way into the NBA this year so I’m spending my time watching that and my normal large dose of college basketball. I am proud to say I saw the first five games of Linsanity. But March is coming, so that means March Madness, which to me does include baseball.

None of the Above, Islanders, Steelers, and Chevy in NASCAR

I am a bigger Islander fan than Mets fan, sorry but if I had to choose the Islanders are my favorite sports team, followed very closely by the Mets

Then it is the Black and Gold of the 6 time SB Champion Steelers. Out o fmy teams they by far have the best ownership and it shows by the consistent product they put on the field.

I hate basketball, and never really watch. I watched 2 games over the last 10 years or so, one because I was curious about the hype so I watch Lebron 1st pro game.

th eother was the best basketball game I ever saw, it was the one were Artest went into the stands and fought. I mean go figure I never watch basketball, an dthis is th eone game I see. If there was fighting in basketball I may watch it more.

I like NASCAR, and love Chevy.

My rundown

The Rangers are #1 in regard to teams I follow with the Mets very close second. Love, love, love my hockey.

I started following football in 1997 with the Jets and my interest in the NFL peaked from about 1998-2004. I started high school and I just stopped following football completely for reasons that are still a mystery to me. I don’t mind if a game is on, but I don’t go out of my way to root for anyone and on a good day I’m a nominal Jets fan.

Basketball, pretty much indifferent. I follow college basketball though.

I'd rather have a Groupon than a Wilpon.

by graves9 on Feb 20, 2012 1:46 AM EST reply actions  

Hmm

Im curious why neither the Bills and Sabres aren’t included in this poll. There has to be some Met fans in that region of the state.

I’m Jets, Devils and Knicks. I haven watched basketball in nearly a decade but I’m trying to get back into it. The Knicks like our Mets have a problem at owner. I semi-pull for Syracuse Orange in basketball because thats where I went to college
