Yankeetorial: Will we pay for the Giants success?

During the Super Bowl, Yankee fans worldwide experienced two notable thoughts:

1. Holy crap! Alex knew what he was doing, schztupping Madonna!

2. Holy crap! She's going to have a better year than he will!

Let's address #2.

She will have a better year.

Throughout history, the success of the Yankees and NY Giants have always been linked, anecdotally, in a reverse Yin-Yang ratio. When one team wins, the other fails. I am using the metric of anecdotal evidence, rather than so-called "science," which has become discredited in the climate change controversy.

Look at 2008. The Giants won; the Yankees collapsed.

Look at 2009: The Yankees won, the Giants collapsed.

Last year, we collapsed, and they won. Or maybe we are about to collapse this year. Hard to say. But at least we don't have to deal with some smart ass statisticians.

This is not voodoo math. This is pure anecdotal fact: The national 1 percent power structure will not allow the Yankees and Giants to win championships in the same year. They fear violence in the streets. America can accept an NFL-MLB year for cities like Pittsburgh and Oakland. It gets nervous when Boston does it, due to the obnoxiousness of the fan base. But make no mistake: The world will not tolerate joint Yankees/Giants championships. It will cause mass unrest.

(Same with LA. In fact, the 1 percent was so fearful of Los Angeles winning baseball-football that it moved the NFL team out of the city, eliminating the threat.)

Let's face it: We live in turbulent times, Madonna's call for world peace nowithstanding. Governments are collapsing. The water supply is being hydrofracked. People are on the verge of riots. The Giants won the Super Bowl. The Secret Government won't let the Yankees follow suit.
