I lived in southwestern CT all my life until 2007 and worked 24 years in Manhattan. Being a Giants and Jets fan is a given then. I was also a Brooklyn Dodger fan, until they moved, so becoming a Mets fan and loathing the Yankees is also natural. When I moved down east I added the Patriots and the Red Sox, except when they play the Mets (I was at game 6 of the World Series in 1986
).
However, being a Mets and Jets fan the last couple of years has been frustrating.
Maybe I'll pull for the Saints.
