Actually, yes. To make a very simplistic comparison, in many ways SW Connecticut is essentially an extension of metro NYC, whereas the rest of the state tends to have that "New England feel": lots of independent small towns (many still centered around the traditional town/village green), interspersed with small cities...
The joke is that there is an imaginary diagonal line across the state dividing Patriots/Red Sox fans in the North and East from the New York fans in the Southwest.
