2008 was a bittersweet year for New York sports. Early in the year, it saw the Giants make an incredible run in the playoffs, all the way to winning the Super Bowl in one of the NFL's biggest upsets. But 2008 also saw the final days of two stadiums, one more beloved than another, the rebuilding of the Knicks and Nets, playoff misses for both local baseball teams, the welcoming of a NFL great and several other compelling stories.
Yankees Miss Playoffs and Go Crazy for Free Agents Joe Girardi selected #27 to wear on his back because his goal was to bring the 27th World Championship to the Bronx in 2008. Not only did he fail to do that, the Yankees missed the playoffs for the first time since 1994, ending a streak of 13-straight playoff appearances. In response to this failure, the team spent over $425 million on three free agents, signing C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira, to try and bring that ring to the Bronx in 2009. - Peter Trinkle (AP/Kathy Willens)

Best Giants victory ever. Therefore, best year in NY sports ever.
2008 is tied with 1994 as best NY sports year ever.
1986 was pretty good too. The Giants went 17-2 and won the Superbowl, and the Mets had their great season.
But the win over New England was better, which is why 2008 was "THE BEST NEW YORK SPORTS SEASON EVER."
At least for me.
