Losing it like a Pro
Living in NY can have several advantages. One of them is the thousands of sports franchises. We even take in New Jersey, especially since the Soprano’s moved there.
New Jersey is that little brother that will never be as big as us, but they will probably win more championships. We even use their backyard to play our football games.
I know baseball recently has been the number one story in town the past decade or so with the Yankees and Mets always putting on great seasons.
But now that I look back at it, I think the Yankee Dynasty really destroyed sports for NY. They were so good and made it look so easy.
I mean I thought they were gonna storm MSG one night when the Knicks were playing, sub themselves in, and take over the league. I never thought they could lose again.
Shitily though, dynasties don’t last. The Yankees didn’t fall hard though, they just lost games they used to always win. Shit happens. I mean shit hadn’t happened for 5 years, it was time for some shit……to start happening.
Not that the Yankees are dead meat when they play, they always looked overmatched now in playoff games.
Right now I’m pretty glad to be a Knicks fan. Yea they are losing every game, but Knicks might have a lottery pick this year. Possibly in the top 3 with this losing pace.
When the Knicks win now, the other team must feel like they just got molested. A dirty, not so sure what-just-happened feeling.
The Knicks make headlines though. Isiah keeps it busy being stupid and Marbury is trying to get his acting career going.
Losing isn’t terrible, it just makes winning seem so much better.
Even if we have to wait for Lebron James’ first son.
