Detroit Better Than Boston

everybody talks about boston being the best sports place well i disagree for my home state is the best we got
Pistons
Tigers
Red Wings
Wolverine Football
Msu Basketball
and the uprising lions who are getting very good
vs
Patriots
Celtics
Red Soxs

Tigers? Eh, they were really good one year and lost anyway. I live near Boston so I'm going to say its better.

Also, don't call the Lions good, they are disgraceful... :(

In the 2000's Boston has World Series Championships and Superbowl Championships

So I think when you own a good part of a decade's championships in the two most popular US sports you kinda have the bragging rights.

Why does people call NE Patriots Boston's team? Is Gillette Stadium in Boston or something?manningbowl135

It's about a 30 min drive from the center of Boston

Like 25 miles away from Boston, in Foxboro

Alaska for the win!

Toss in NY as well - NY Giants won the super bowl. NY Mets are a strong team in the NL, Yankees are still contenders. Even the NY Rangers are in the playoff hunt in the NHL. Meh the Knicks.

I don't know if that was sarcasm, but if it wasn't, its in Foxboro MA.

Detroit has a better basketball team IMO but thats it.

We also have the NE Revolution. Made the Championship 2 years in a row.Just_Osmo

In my opinion, Boston is doing better than Detroit right now(though I think this whole argument is silly), so I'm not discrediting Boston or anything.

But, c'mon man. This is like the fifth time I've heard you bring up the Revolution when talking about how great the Boston-area is. Stop. They don't count.

College Basketball & Football are much, much more popular in the United States than the MLS.

College Basketball & Football are much, much more popular in the United States than the MLS.

And Basketball is third in line after Baseball and Football and hockey isn't even a recognized major sport in the US anymore

If you're going to count professional teams and college teams you have to add them all if they're there.

Pistons>Celtics, I was almost convinced before the Suns beat the Celtics by almost 20, and the Pistons blew the Suns out.

Pats>>>>>Lions

Red Sox>Tigers

Hockey and college football, no opinion.

It was the 2nd game after the All-Star break with KG playing his first real full game and our shotting was horrid. You can't judge the Celtics by that one game. Last I looked it was 1-1 in for Pistons/Celtics when playign each other.

It's a close call but ofcourse I pick the Celtics.

the Pistons lost 65-89 TO THE NEW YORK KNICKS!!!! and the Celtics beat the Knicks by over 50. so by your logic Celtics>Knicks>Pistons? ooo and lets not forget that 81-97 lose to the bulls now stfu

I hate when New York gets left out of this debate.

New York has teams with great history and fans.

The Rangers are one of the oldest Hockey teams in the NHL (and the NHL is getting popular again to the person who said its not a major sport) and some of the greatest players of all time, like Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Eddie Giacomin, Jaromir Jagr and Phil Esposito wore Rangers blue shirts at some point in their career.

The Knicks are one of the greatest franchises of all time, which makes their horrible slide the last few years so tragic. This is a legendary Franchise that used to go toe to toe with the great Lakers teams, as well as the Bulls who were lead by the likes of Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippin. James Dolan has run this team into the Ground.

The New York Yankees - nuff said

The New York Giants - One of the oldest teams in the NFL and won numerous NFL Championship, and 3 Super Bowl Championships. Even played in whats considered "The Greatest Game Ever Played" versus the Baltimore Colts.

The New York Mets - well.....New York like the Mets. But still, the 1986 Mets are one of the greatest Baseball stories ever told.

The New York Jets - Biggest Upset in NFL History vs. a Colts team lead by the great Johnny Unitas.

The New York Islanders - One of the greatest Hockey dynastys of all time. You can make the argument against them though, because even when they win no one goes to their games.

Aside from the Islanders, all these teams are VERY popular in New York, whether they're doing awful or winning championships. The most loyal sports fans I know, I are Mets fans. They haven't won anything in over 20 years, but every year, they're still saying "you gotta believe." Or Jets fans, who haven't won a Super Bowl in so long, and had to endure a 1 and 15 season, but were still dedicated to that team.

St. Johns used to be a WILDLY popular College Basketball team. But have suffered at the hands of a college that doesn't want to pour money into their basketball program to make it what it was. And people have really gotten behind Rutgers. And I still know plenty of people that root for the Hofstra Pride. Plus Hofstra has produced some great talent, like Marques Colston.

Sure they aren't the Michigan Wolverines, the Spartans or the Boston College Eagles, but that doesn't mean that New York isn't a great sports town.

Anyways, out of the two, I'm gonna have to say Boston. Detroit is awesome too, but Boston

Interpol, this thread is about current state of the teams in the cities I think, not the whole history.manningbowl135

oh.....Wow, thats a toss up.

Detroit has the Red Wings and Pistons,

But Boston has New England and Red Sox. I'm still gonna have to say Boston.
