Although it is early in the season, the Mets currently have a better record than the Yankees and appear to have a much brighter future. The Yankees have way too much money tied up with old, unproductive players such as A-Rod, Soriano, Teixeria, Jeter and CC Sabathia. The Mets have young talented pitching and financial flexibility after this year despite the Bernie Madoff situation. The Yankees window is closing and they have very minimal prospects to build on, while the other team in New York appears to be building for the future the right way, minus Jason Bay.

There is often debate between loyal fans on which team in New York is the best in the NFL. With the New York Giants winning the Super Bowl last year, the answer looks fairly simple. New York Jet fans argue that the Jets have made significant improvements to their roster and their savior, Tim Tebow, will carry the franchise to the Super Bowl. However, the best team in New York is not even debatable. It is the Buffalo Bills by default. Both the Giants and Jets play in New Jersey, and not in New York. So the next time someone debates who the best football team in New York is, there is only once choice, the hometown Buffalo Bills.
