Born and raised in Flushing, so I was a Mets fan at birth. We followed baseball from diapers, but my friends and I didn't really get into football till we were about 10. By then, those lackeys were Jets fans and I refused to root for a team that played in freaking Jersey. So I pledged my loyalty to the true NFL team of my birth state and have been absolutely miserable ever since. Silver lining is that my friends have been absolutely miserable, too. ?
