I'm a HUGE yanks fan and all, but who cares?

What do you mean a lot?
I would expect upper FFC to still be 85% or more NY sports centric.
It would make zero sense when you look at how much closer NY is than BOS AND how you can not get BOS sports on TV there.

I know its weird...and disturbing...those bandwagoners should root for their local teams.

Hmm... could "BostonSucks" and "bluecountry" be one in the same?

agree/disagree?

Of course Fairfield should: I live in Madison in New Haven County too!

You guys support the welfare system of the Great State of CT. How much revenue do you bring to CT like almost 70% and get nothing back. It would be a pleasure to see those in Hartford try to actually work like a real business instead of playing Robin Hood with the tax payers. I can not wait for the defense spending to go down and see all of United Tech's divisions (Pratt Whit, Electric Boat, Skikorsky Helicopter, etc) and the gun manufacturers get hit.

There is a lot to United Technology besides defense related business.

Well how much more...what's the split?
It can't be more than a small minority...they can not get Red Sox games on TV...and it is still in metro NYC region.

Why do you have such a big bone to pick?

I dont know I was just shocked. I went to a Newtown/Weston ('cause I'm a proud WHS student!) basketball game with him last year and I was just STUNNED at the amount of Red Sox and Patriots stuff.

If your from the Tri-State Area part of Connecticut and not the New England part of Connecticut you normally root for the NY teams and Newtown's in the Tri-State Area part of Connnecticut.

The few Red Sox fans I know need the Extra Innings package to watch them...I dont get NESN and very few people in Fairfield County do. Which is why I was shocked at the amount of Red Sox fans there....
