It’s official… Jeremy Lin is amazing. Here come the Knicks!
Happy New Year?
As you all know, I live for sports. I’m not a fan of the greatest teams but they usually do pretty well and no matter how much I complain at my TV about them, I’m still a fan.
This month, however, has just not been fun. It’s felt like awhile since I’ve actually really enjoyed watching sports because of my teams losing and teams I dislike winning. Tonight I discovered the following results.
Since January 1, 2012…
- The Jets went 0-1 and were eliminated from playoff contention.
- The Knicks have gone 4-8, including losses to 5 teams under .500.
- The UConn Huskies Men’s Basketball Team has gone 2-4, all 4 losses are to unranked teams.
- The Patriots have gone 3-0 and clinched a Super Bowl berth.
- The Giants have gone 4-0 and clinched a Super Bowl berth.
- The Syracuse Orange Men’s Basketball team have gone 6-1 and are ranked #1 in the country.
- And finally, while I’ll always be excited about them, I’m not too sure about the Mets this season.
So yeah, in terms of sports, it hasn’t been that happy of a new year. But things change, team’s get hot, so I’ll wait it out, as always, and keep watching, cheering and, most likely, complaining.
“The Decision” has been made. The New York Knicks have a new fan.
Bandwagon
So recently I’ve been getting more and more into the NBA but I still never had a team. Basically it was between the Nets and the Knicks and as bad as the Nets have been the past few years I didn’t know who to pick. The Knicks have always intrigued me but now that they just got Carmelo Anthony I would look bad if I started rooting for them. So my question is, is there anyway I can be a Knicks fan now without looking like a bandwagon jumper?
