New York State is basically two different states - upstate and downstate. Vast social and economic differences. Bills are from upstate NY, well, really western NY (see this.) Jets (and Giants) are from downstate NY and their fandom (Giants being much larger) extends to NJ. I'm originally from the blue part of upstate NY but am green (Jets, who don't even wind up on the map :p) So NY vs NY is Jets vs Giants (like baseball's subway series), Bills vs either downstate team is a pretty different vibe. blah blah blah sociological stuff here.

I have a friend, though, who claims to be a "fan of all New York sports except the Islanders" (lol, your guess is as good as mine.) One day I'll see him in a Mets cap the other day in a Yankees cap, same with Jets and Giants. I went with him to a Subway series game and was joking with my other friend I was going with we should place a bet on which cap/jersey he wore. (It was Mets, and of course it was all Mets once the Mets were in the postseason.) I don't get this phenomenon at all but I have a few friends who are like this. Mostly fairweatherism.

Another phenomenon that I don't get is the number of Patriots fans in New York. And not just bandwagoners either some were even raised into the fandom. Cowboys as well but they are one of those teams that has sort of a national fandom, lately I guess the Pats do too, but come on, this one is a rivalry situation! There's a fifth column in the city! :p Connecticut on the other hand splits between Sox/Pats and Giants/Yankees (mostly) for obvious geographical reasons.

Psyched for tonight.

NFL Network is fucking atrocious, and so are those uniforms...

this game actually has decent AFC playoff implications. as a Steelers fan I am aiming for the 5th seed
 
laugh all you want Ali iirc Pittsburgh was the very 1st NFL team to win the Super Bowl as a #6 team

you will be able to unlock this life hack once your team wins more than 4 Lombardi trophies
