New Jersey has more sports choices than almost any other state, but does that mean the Garden State is a good place to be a sports fan?
For full disclosure, I am a Giants, Mets, Devils, and Knicks fan. So most days I have a bruised soul regarding my teams.

Sure, we pull from Philadelphia and New York when we are choosing our favorite teams, and even though both the Giants and the Jets play in New Jersey, the Devils are technically our only team.
I think it’s that fact that prompted The Sports Chief to rank New Jersey as the #21 state in America for sports fans.
