With the World Series off and running, it’s time for this New Yorker to admit that we are lagging far behind Los Angeles and Boston as a sports center. Even as the Dodgers and Red Sox square off, the rest of Boston’s teams have good to great chances to contend for titles, both of LA’s football teams are lined up to to make the playoffs, and LeBron James took his talents to Hollywood. While New Yorkers are stuck with one relevant team, a team a lot of us hate.
Well, at least we still have Broadway. But don’t be surprised if we have a Rams-Pats Super Bowl with two more teams I don’t want to root for.
