Yet again New York area sports fans are being forced to choose between teams (or spend the evening at a sports bar) -- all because of stupid Fox Sports. FOOOOOOOOX!Do they watch the 5 - 1 NY Giants play the Arizona Cardinals at Giants Stadium (in New Jersey) tonight at 8:20 ET on NBC? Or do they watch the
NY Yankees play the Los Angeles Angels for the American League pennant tonight over at Yankee Stadium starting at 8:20 ET over on Fox? (Btw, for all you readers in the Tri-State area, avoid the Cross Bronx Expressway at all costs this evening. Heck, avoid the Bronx entirely, unless you want to spend your evening in your car.)For die-hard New York sports fans it's a bit like Sophie's Choice as most Yankees fans are die-hard Giants fans and vice versa.
The spouse predicts that more people will be watching the Yankees game -- and will only flip over to the Giants game during commercial breaks. (That is unless they turn their bedroom into a sports bar.) Me? I will be watching my beloved Giants on NBC Sunday Night Football -- unless they suck, in which case I will begrudgingly flip over to Fox and watch the Yankees, even though I loathe the Yankees. LOATHE. THEM. (Personal note: For a lifelong Mets fan the thought of a Yankees - Philadelphia World Series makes the stomach churn.)
In a no-brainer, I will also be watching the New York Jets and Mark Sanchez take on the Oakland Raiders out in Oakland, California, where it's supposed to be in the 70s today, at 4:05 ET this afternoon. Hopefully the warm, sunny weather will restore Sanchez's throwing arm and revitalize the Jets defense so they can go above .500.
Check in tomorrow for my post-game update.

Miss J2 oh, oh, oh... Are you looking to shed readership? If not, I strongly suggest you keep your anti-Yankee sentiments to your suddenly all too New Englandy (read: snooty) self.
I suggest you not watch the Jets today, but, rather, devote that time to figuring out why so many Giants fans are indeed rabid Yankee fans.
BTW: nice thongs. I say: good enough to hug your butt cheeks, good enough to display on your TV.
@Jeff Schiff: "all too New Englandy"?! Excuse me? When I last checked the New York Mets played at Citi Field in Queens, not in New England. As for "snooty," you Yank-me fans are way snootier than us scruffy Mets fans (who tend to root for the Jets). As for why many Giants fans are also rabid Yankee fans, I believe it has to do with rooting for winners, as opposed to Mets - Jets fans, who root for the scrappy underdog (she wrote adjusting her Jets thong).
Fox Sports-Phewy! Again???? Yoiu guys suck!
Will be watching the Giants and cherring on the Phillies since the Mets are out. I am with you. Love me some Mets (allowed me to live in Red Sox Nation for a few years)
Warm weather for Sanchez???...think he will go shirtless??? Gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
OK OK retracting cougar talons now...
I would love to see the Angels win. If not...ugh, will root for the Phillies.
@Anonymous: Sanchez just needs to play in sunny, 70-degree weather every week -- and against the Raiders. And no, I would not object to an opponent ripping the shirt off Sanchez. ;-)
@EMM: The Angels need to fly in Pat Sajak! ;-)
This alleged bandwagoner for one sewed his Yank/Jint oats in the era of Horace and Homer (Clarke and Jones). The underdogs in the era of Tom Teriffic and Broadway Joe. I beg to differ with the "rooting for winners" hypothesis. I also love that Met fans play the "scruffy" card. Number 2 payroll in MLB with nada to show for it. At least the Yanks are good at being capitalist pigs. Let's talk when the Mets have a payroll like the Pittsurgh Pirates and change the name of the stadium to Bagel Nosh
I would love to see my favorites win. Good luck to everyone. By the way, being a great sports fan is rewarding too!
