Can the Jets run NYC?

[the next guy]

This says as much about the general state of things in sports around here as it does about the Jets, and maybe says more, but there is no question that the Jets are the big game in New York right now, even with a 4-3 record, even with two of their victories being gift-wrapped by referees at the end. And even without having managed to win two games in a row yet.

Maybe the Nets and Knicks change that across a pro basketball season that starts next week, with a rivalry that showed such possibilities last season before it seemed to come to a sudden stop because of one of the dumbest NBA regular-season schedules ever conceived.

For now, though, with the Giants not having won a game until Monday night, with the Giants having proved in an unwatchable game against the Vikings that they are only the best of the worst teams in pro football, the Jets are again doing something they have been desperate to do since Rex Ryan hit town:

Does NY have a consensus "OUR" team? What's good on that, NY heads? Can only the Yankees pull everyone together cleanly?

Mets Fans Love (Hate) Their Mets

The Mayor, Derek Jeter begs to differ

The Yankees are the only team that can say they truly run NYC.

Although, the Giants are up there as well.

To answer your question, Yes the Jets could run NYC imo. Maybe not this team, but a better Jets team could. You saw a glimpse of it when they went to back to back AFC championship games. When the Jets/Mets are actually good and much better than they other NY teams, the Giants/Yanks, there is a buzz in the city you get that you don't get with the Giants and Yanks. Probably due to the fact it's so rare that the Mets and Jets are ever good, but there is a buzz and you feeling you get. I don't think any team has ever captured the city like the 86 Mets did. So yeah I think the Jets could run the city.

I don't think you'll ever meet a Mets fan that would ever root for the Yanks under most conditions. The only time I could remember Mets fans pulling for the Yanks was the 09 WS against the Phillies but to us that was like asking would you rather burn to death or freeze to death, there is no good answer.
