Tiger: "LA is better than NY in sports"

[golfer07840]

I'm sorry, did I wake up and suddenly end up in the offseason? Because that's what this thread reeks of.

Unless it's the Lakers, LA just doesn't give a hoot.

He is hopelessly invested in his New York Rangers and New York Yankees, but nothing can touch his passion for his New York Football Giants.** LaCava had the nerve to taunt Bill Belichick at the 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. One day the New England coach was hitting balls on the range next to Mickelson, and LaCava let loose.

Woods has deep respect for LaCava's ability to read greens, in part because the caddie consistently drains difficult putts on Tiger's backyard green.

I once ran into Carl Banks at a mall here in NJ while wearing my 49ers windbreaker. This was the late 90's so not very far removed from those classic 49ers/Giants game. He noticed, gave me a wry smile like "We broke your heart in 1990, so we're cool".

I mean are we talking sports or sports fans...? huge difference, NY sports fans can maybe only be rivaled by Chicago and even then it really depends on the time period. If were talking teams and were talking the last handful of years you cant honestly be upset that someone said LA>NY

Sure, why not? LOL Dont quote me on this but I believe that LA is the biggest TV market in the country, which was the argument for the Rams returning to LA even though 2 LA teams have already failed in the past. It also would explain why in the soccer world LA FC has gone from relative obscurity to being one of the best teams in the league in like 2 years.

Obviously, theres a stupid amount of money in both cities but I would still think that LA has more money just based upon all the sports teams that exist in that town.

seriously? ... not trying to be an a** here, but you might want to read a a little bit more here and there ... wall street? ... stock market? ... bond market? ... financing? ... banking? ... nyc dwarfs la in terms of money ...

That’s where we differ. Dodgers IN the WS? Rams IN the SB? We don’t gloat about the championships that we did not win.

And you won't be gloating about the playoffs you're never in either. Except for the Isles who got swept by a Carolina team that didn't belong.
