🗽NY State of Mind

This past week, sports fans were in for a treat 🍬 (and no, we aren’t just talking about Halloween 🎃)! On Monday, all 5 of the major sports in the U.S. - the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and MLS - had games, meaning that every sports fan likely had something to watch to kick off this Halloween week! Now, depending on your fandom, this week may not have been just full of treats; for every LA Dodger or Washington Commander fan, there is a NY Yankee or Chicago Bears fan on the other side of that experience.

Last week had all of the drama that we have come to expect (or, dare we say, love) about this time of year - whether it be the Hail Mary that was answered in Washington, the revival of Jameis Winston, the benching of Anthony Richardson, or the injury to Stefon Diggs. The roller coaster ride 🎢 that comes with sports fandom certainly makes the season entertaining (and perhaps a bit infuriating - unless you are a Chiefs fan). We hope that you are experiencing more highs than lows in your fandom this season - and we also hope that you are having a fruitful betting season too! Regardless of how your season is playing out so far, if it is any consolation, at least you weren’t Tyrique Stevenson having to sit in those team meetings this week 🫣🫣

TRIVIA
  🍎The Big (Rotten?) Apple 

Welp, that didn’t last long. It seems as though the World Series just started, and the Dodgers are already celebrating their championship, much to the dismay of millions of New Yorkers that were hoping for a return to the glory days for the Pinstrips. Don’t feel too bad for New Yorkers, as they just celebrated their first WNBA Championship with the NY Liberty a week ago.

With that said, given the state of the Jets and Giants and the lackluster start to the season for the Knicks, it seems as though the next best shot for a championship may be the NY Rangers. (Don’t even ask about the Islanders.)

Excluding the NY Liberty’s WNBA Championship this year, do you know the most recent major professional sports championship won by a NY team?
