Ironically, ESPN's Colin Cowerd was discussing yesterday on his show that LA is a better overall sports town than New York. What he forgot to do before starting his debate is to actually look-up some data - LA is nowhere near the #1 spot, or #2 for that matter. Of course, these rankings are subjective in nature when choosing the objective measures to rank the cities, but at least the Sporting News has a method behind their madness rather than just putting forth a blind opinion, which is what Cowerd does often.
Over the last 4 years, Detroit & Boston are tied for the top spot and there appears to be no let off in sight for either city.
