Snowstorm in Syracuse

You might not know NY counties like I do, but that is Cayuga County going to the Giants. Wayne County, the eastern Rochester suburbs, is the last Bills county in NY. That puts one entire major metro area between Utica and Bills country. The Bills are very much just a Buffalo/Rochester team. Buffalo and Rochester act much like a single dual binary metro (like the DFW) and don't really associated with the more distant cities like Syracuse even though technically Rochester and Syracuse are both in the Finger Lakes. Rochester and Buffalo are both on the great lakes and the Bills are in the suburbs on the Rochester side of Buffalo. Both associate with Canada, but Syracuse and Utica do not.
Hate to tell you this but you're flat out wrong. You will find just as diehard fans of the Bills in Syracuse and Utica as Buffalo, and not just one or two. The Bills are still very popular with cities across Central and Eastern NY. The idea that they have nothing to do with Syracuse is not right. You're not a sports fan Scott. I think I have a little more knowledge on this considering you have never followed sports.

@scottalanmiller Scott, yes, the Giants and the Jets play in the Meadowlands, which is in NJ. But they are NY teams. Get over it.
NO actually the Jets are NJ team because they practice in NJ. While the Giants practice in NY
Last I knew, the Jets practiced in Cortland, NY.
-
Ok, the Jets' training camp is in Cortland.

I'm not talking sports, just talking about the socio-economic ties between the cities. I grew up in Rochester and Buffalo and they very much do think of themselves as one region (they were the 716 for nearly a century together) and Syracuse is far away and a different place.

I did some of my college right next to where they practiced I think.

I will agree with this, going to school there locals thought that driving to Syracuse was like going to the moon. When I told them I drove 2.5-3 hours past that weekly they were flabbergasted.

I don't disagree that Rochester and Buffalo are linked. But you said that they think of themselves as totally separate from Syracuse. That's just not true.

It might be their offseason training camp.

According to the CBS poll, 57% of people feel that the Jets are an NJ team.

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/01/18/border-war-which-state-truly-owns-the-jets/I don't give a damn about the Jets. No one likes them anyways. Just don't bring my Giants into this!
-
NJ Governor wants to remind you that both are NJ teams.
I've lived in both states and let me tell you, they are NJ teams. NYers are posing if they try to claim them in any way. They are associated with Newark and Newark has both the location and the spirit to call them their hometown team.

Aren't they basically the same? They pull from the same stock and play at the same field.

Not your Giants
You should move to NJ. -

You should move to NJ.NJ and NYC are pretty much joined at the hip anyways, so if the stadium is just across the border, so what?

Technically I live slightly closer to the Jacksonville Jaguars

LOL, that's all of American football. It's one company with franchises that trade people around. It's a weird "single pool, single firm" entity. It's like having the "world frying championship" held only at different McDonald's franchise locations.

So.... it's NJ not NYC. Or are you saying that they should be the Ontario Bills? Most teams live near a border. But there is a border. That's the point of a border. They are IN NJ, in an area that is not far from NYC. You don't even consider NYC part of NY anyway, making it that much weirder. It is downstate, not upstate, that has some ties with NJ.
