It's put up or shut up, whatcha got?...

Beantown vs. The Big Apple!

Okay, you rabid (and very lucky, both should have lost) NY Football Giants/ New England Patriots fans, who wins the battle of the minutiae?

•  The Pats moved to nowhere Foxborough from Boston, but the Giants left NYC to play in the swamps of Jersey.  Which is the more egregious?   Penalty points on the Pats for blowing smoke up our governor's ass and teasing him with a possible move to Hartford.
• Yankee Stadium vs. Fenway Park?   The new Yankee Stadium is much better than the 70's-style remake of the original, but you've got to give the edge to a true original (even though actually watching a game there can be painful).  Penalty points against Boston for allowing that old clubhouse guy to Sandusky young boys for so long.
• TD Garden vs. The World's Most Famous Arena?  No contest once the C's left crappy old, but venerable Boston Garden (where I once scored 3 KEY points in a prelim-to-Celtics game) for its slick new digs. Extra points to NYC for bringing the Nets to Brooklyn.
• MA senator JFK vs. NY carpetbagger senator RFK?  I guess we should really ask Marilyn Monroe.
• Ted Williams vs. Mickey Mantle?   It wouldn't be fair to bring out Jeet.  Oh wait - Jeter vs Bobby Orr?
• Boston Strangler vs. Son of Sam?  Spike Lee vs. Ben Affleck?  Do the right thing.
• Who got more - Joe Willie or Brady?  Penalty points on Broadway Joe for the Suzy Kolber thing. Penalty points on Brady for being a whiner.
• Dirty Water (The Standells) vs. Empire State of Mind (Jay-Z and Alicia Keys)?  The Ramones vs. Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers?
• Manhattan clam chowder vs. New England clam chowda?  I never warmed up to the red stuff.
• Knickerbocker beer vs. Samuel Adams Boston lager?  Do they even brew Knickerbocker anymore (they sure don't brew a good basketball Knick anymore)
• Hudson River vs. the Charles?  The Bronx vs. Southie?
