Patriots deliver masks to Massachusetts and New York amidst crisis

It’s rare to see a feel-good story when it comes to the relationship between New York and Boston.

Though both cities share a common time zone and geographic proximity to one another, historically there’s been no love lost between them or their inhabitants — and that’s mainly due to sports. New York and Boston have a rivalry in the sports scene unshared and unequaled by any other upper East Coast cities (ie. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., etc.).

Yankees/Red Sox and Jets/Patriots are probably the fiercest and most bitter rivalries for the two cities, but Rangers/Bruins and Knicks/Celtics also have featured some nasty and acrimonious moments over the years, too.
