Aaron Rodgers Breaks Hard Truth To New York City Football Fans

Now that football season is back and in full effect, talk around the water cooler picks up again about our fantasy leagues, our favorite teams, and, of course, the ever-present debate here in the Northeast about what NFL team is the best in New York State.

Now, if you ask anyone who lives in and around New York City, they will argue back and forth about whether it's the Jets or the Giants, but just about everyone else in the nation has accepted the simple fact that those who live in downstate New York need to accept.

New York only has one football team: the Buffalo Bills.

We've been saying this for years, but since most folks in New York City and its suburbs don't understand there is a whole world outside of the tri-state area, it sometimes takes someone from the inside to break the news to them.

That happened recently as the star quarterback for the New York Jets broke a hard truth to New Yorkers when he appeared on the Pardon My Take podcast.

Nobody lives in New York... If you are a Giant you can, but I don’t know why you would just because of the traffic into the tunnel. I joke about, I know the stadium used to be on Long Island, but we are the New Jersey Jets. So are the Giants.
-Aaron Rodgers, Quarterback for the New Jersey Jets

So, we'll say it one more time: Jets and Giants, it's time to give New York its name back. Officials recognize Buffalo as New York's team.
