New York must be close to having 2 titles at the same time? I know the Giants weren't awful before this year, and the Yankees are pretty decent, right? And I've heard of the Rangers and Knicks which usually means they're good (or really bad).

I assume you are replying to question 1? Well, No, it is not NY.
(and FYI, the Knicks have not won a title in 40 years....1973, and the Rangers in about 20 years)
And note, last time the Yanks won was 2009, the Saints won the succeeding SB, nor did NY teams win the succeeding NBA or NHL titles.

1. Pittsburgh? (Steelers and Penguins)
5. Kenyon in D-3 for men's swimming and diving. 31 straight. (I cheated and looked it up)
9. Patriots
15. Spurs

Is it just me or are they less harsh on women streakers than men?

5 couldn't tell you.
9. Didn't look it up. Couldn't tell you the exact years but it ended with the Giants beating them in the Super Bowl the first time (ruining their undefeated season)

now that you have admitted cheating I am reluctant to confirm whether you are right or wrong. Besides, you need to fill in your answers a bit even if they are right by saying when those things happened.
I'm assuming your reluctance is due to the fact that their correct?
1. Steelers beat the Cardinals and couldn't tell you who the Penguins beat. I remember wanting Warner to win one last championship and the Steelers to lose. After the Penguins won the media kept talking about Pittsburgh being the new "title town" blah blah blah.
8. Stab in the dark. They're a storied franchise with a long history.
I highly doubt anyone would've been able to pull the Kenyon fact out of their ass unless we have some hardcore D-3 swimming and diving fans in the house. The others could plausibly be guessed.
