Once again, the argument proves false that small cities cannot beat the megalopolis.
For all their grandeur and (supposed) financial advantage, NYC sports remain a colossal underachiever. The Mets, Jets, Knicks and Rangers lead the pack in failure. And no NYC-based school dominates in major college sports.
Why such a lack of success? Stodgy, incompetent ownerships. A pressurized media. Massive distractions. Traffic congestion. Rats. Rude cab drivers. Access to drugs, supermodels, bootlickers and STDs. Too much pizza.
Outlook for 2024: The Chiefs might win again. No rings in store for NYC.

Even the Women’s Hockey league team (no nickname apparently) is in it last place.
But you said it Duque, it’s the ownership. Nothing else.
Someone on the Intertubes mentioned that a couple prognostication outlets have projected the Yanks to win the division this year. Over the Orioles. The outlets weren't named.
Maybe Hampton arrives mid-season to bolster the rotation. Maybe Spencer Jones has his biggest hits since "Gimme Some Lovin'". Hard to say. (Steve Winwood was 17 when he belted out that vocal, by the way. Played the organ, too.)
I find it hard to believe the prediction. But I would like some of what they're smoking.
Especially if the teams from smaller cities are run properly. The Chiefs have a smart owner and who will do what needs to be done, a great coach and winners on the team.
It’s so quiet in here you can almost hear Cashman’s brain working . . .
Does his brain whir or click? Or does it sound like what we used to do when we would take clothespins and affix baseball cards to the back wheels of our bicycles so that the spokes would hit them and make it sound like a shitty motorcycle?
13 Bit - It sounds like a baby mouse farting.
