It would make more sense to riot if they had lost?

My sister-in-law lives in Chicago and said that back in the Jordan days when they were winning all the time, they used to broadcast radio and TV ads urging people not to riot when they won!

Yea, we won, let's destroy some sh*t!

Boo, we lost, let's destroy some sh*t! - Has a better ring to it, especially if you are in the opposing team's town. But that's just me.

This is one big difference between LA and New York. When our sports teams win, there are no riots. I wonder why.

Because the Yankees have won so much that rioting has gotten boring, then you add in the Giants, Knicks (I know not recently), and Rangers (ditto) - New York is pretty spoiled.

That could be it. Don't forget the Devils as well.

Being a life-long New York area resident (save 7 years in Wahington, DC), I don't sense the same level of total fanatasicm for our sports teams that some other cities have. Maybe it is all of the distractions that NY has to offer.

Every time I travel to Boston on business, I am always shocked at how into the Red Sox and the Patriots everyone there is.

Yes it has been a long drought for the Knicks. The Knicks, for so many years, have had a horrendous front office. They know how to spend big bucks -- and get nothing for it -- the opposite of the Steinbrenners.

I grew up in Denver, but I am a lifelong Yankees and Steelers fan - go ahead try being a Steelers fan in Denver, you think Boston is into the Patsies? Try Denver and the Broncos EEEESH!!

HAHA! When I lived in Steamboat, some guy down the street had a 4-Runner painted blue and orange with Broncos logos on the front doors!

I've been in STL for a while, and it's all about the Cards. It's crazy, all these people drive in for the games from all over the place. I've probably been 6-7 times and it's only 20 minutes away.
