Steve's feelings toward the New York teams can be summed up as follows: he supports the Mets and not the Yankees, but he also spends a lot of time being conflicted about the Dodgers. Should he still root for them when they've moved all the way over to the west coast? Or does he stick with those teams that actually still play out of NYC?

In the end, as dramatic as he might be about it at times, the point is to watch the games and have a good time, which is why he's not too worked up about having to side with San Francisco in this case.

He's not particularly surprised that Rumlow wants to make the bet a little more "interesting," though the suggestion does throw him for a second. A dare? It's pretty juvenile, but Steve also has a difficult time turning down any challenge. Some might consider it a flaw of his. "Within reason," he agrees. Not that he expects either of them would want to commit any crimes. "All right, it's a deal." He holds his hand out to shake on it.
