They have espnboston.com,espnchicago.com WTF. New York is the greatest city in the country. The greatest sports city too. Is there a reason?

I thought that's what the regular ESPN was. Aren't they essentially ESPN NY in all but name?

It will come eventually. They are slowly phasing in the cities.

I think you are thinking Boston. ESPN and ESPN Boston are pretty much the same thing. ESPN has there heads so far up the Patriots and Red Sox ass it isn't funny

ESPN is from CT not Boston. But yes all the main cities are getting phased in one at a time. Of course Boston would be first they are the closest.

New York only great team is the Yankees. The Mets suck.

The Giants and Jets don't even play in New York and their names should be New Jersey Giants/Jets.

The only football team that plays in New York stinks, Buffalo.

College football is a joke in New York.

NBA: The Knicks suck worse than the Bills.

Hockey: Is insignificant. Not to mention Buffalo never won a Cup, the Rangers haven't won since the '93-'94 season, and the Islanders since the 82-83 season.

Syracuse Basketball usually does well.

Not just about winning. It regards television ratings, merchandise sales, attendance, suites, sponsorships, fan base, ownership. And giants and jets are a ny team regardless if they play in meadowlands.

How would you feel if the Bills moved to Toronto full time but kept the name Buffalo Bills?

meadowlands is 5 minutes from Manhattan. You can't have a stadium in Manhattan. There is a reason the new giants stadium is still in east rutherford.

Toronto is a different country. If you polled fans of other cities they'd consider the jets and giants ny teams and consider buffalo more canada team due to location in western ny. The average fan correlates ny to manhattan/nyc. It sucks but it is what it is.

Boston is hands down the better city. Their sports teams infuriate me and their fans are among the biggest bandwaggoners in sports, but the city itself is amazing.

I actually prefer Chicago and DC over NY. I'm a huge Yanks fan, but I'd rather love in the Chicago or DC areas. Just an opinion.

Its the media capital of the world, they get plenty of coverage so I really dont think they need an ESPN dedicated to them

NYC is not a great city. Its a cesspool. I wish they would break off from the rest of the state, they are an embarrasment. Oh yea... your mayor Bloomberg sucks to.

CT, especially that area, considers themselves "New England."

Chicago was the first.

And location doesn't matter. It's a web site. They hire reporters for those markets who live in those markets.

NY and LA got to be the next ones. But i doubt they go much further then that.
