Stupid Fan Tricks
Being a lifelong New York Yankees fan, I'm used to hearing the jibes from sports fans of other teams - New York fans are rude, obnoxious, and downright mean. Okay, sure, if a fan comes into Yankees stadium wearing Red Sox paraphernalia, they're gonna get razzed. We're gonna trash talk, jeer, and be nasty. And we'll love every minute of it.
But when push comes to shove, we're just not that bad. When our teams win, we honk our horns and cheer on the streets. We throw tickertape parades and give the players keys to the city. When our teams lose we curse. We have bar fights. What we don't do is riot, loot, and set cars on fire. So until we start doing that, you non-New York fans can STFU. But I mean that in the nicest possible way.

All I can say is, "three cheers for the Bucs". They managed to trash the two teams with the most obnoxious fans in the NFL. Couldn't have happened to a "nicer" bunch of bad boys.

I hate that reputation New York has received and it is so unfair. Let's look at the Championships won by New York teams over the last 17 years:
1986 Mets - World Series - No riots
1987 NY Giants - Super Bowl - No riots
1991 NY Giants - Super Bowl - No riots
1994 NY Rangers - Stanley Cup - No riots
1996 NY Yankees - World Series - No riots
1998 NY Yankees - World Series - No riots
1999 NY Yankees - World Series - No riots
2000 NY Yankees - World Series - No riots
Contrats that with the riots in Detriot when the Pistons won the championship, in Chicago when the Bulls won the championship, when Dallas won the Super Bowl, when the Canadiens won the Stanley Cup, when the Canucks LOST The Stanley Cup. I know there must be more.
New York fans RULE.
