WFAN's Joe Benigno and coautor Jordan Raanan enumerate the acknowledged rules of being a New York sports fan all for the first time. They have collected all the things that New York fans need to know, a code of conduct to live a civilized sports life. Some of the most vital rules include, among many others, only one team per sport; attend at least one game each season; never do the wave, Macarena, or chicken dance; don't sell tickets to rival fans; and don't blame losses on the officials. Rules for New York Sports Fans is a hilarious look at a singular sports town that's sure to inform and amuse. The result is an entertaining, informative, and amusing guidebook for the diehardno matter what your combination of Jets, Giants, Mets, Yankees, Knicks, Nets, Islanders, Devils, and Rangers.
Joe Benigno is the midday host, along with Evan Roberts, on WFAN in New York and is a regular panelist on SportsNet New York's Daily News Live. Jordan Raanan has been a Philly-based sportswriter for nearly a decade, though he remains loyal to his favorite New York teams.
