NY 500 V

NY 500 #5
Well it was a roller coaster of weekend for New York Sports fans. Let’s start off in Buffalo where the New York Jets had an offensive explosion and looked like one of the league’s offenses and the defense took a step back. Eric Decker, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Quincy Enunwa, and Matt Fortè looked nothing short of amazing. This Jets team is looking really good and could quite possibly pull off a great road win in Kansas City next week. In Metlife Stadium on Sunday the New York Football Giants narrowly escaped the New Orleans Saints yesterday. The game was not played well at all on either side of the ball for both teams. If I was a Giant fan I would be concerned about the offense and the defense looks confused at times. Olivier Vernon has not shown up yet to play having only one assisted tackle yesterday and four total tackles last week in Dallas. I am not panicking over five tackles in two weeks, but the offensive lines on the Cowboys and New Orleans Saints have just manhandled Vernon and his huge contract. Matt Fortè has earned his contract in Buffalo Thursday night with three hundred yards and three touchdowns. So far the Giants have over paid for the defense with the offense is stalling as you would expect with a defensive coach.
Moving on to baseball where this roller coaster gets even more wild. The New York Mets took care of business with a bitter ending. The Mets swept the Minnesota Twins but they lost Jacob deGrom for the season most likely with discomfort in his elbow, and will need surgery to repair his ulnar nerve in his throwing elbow. The injury bug has bitten yet again in Queens and damages their chances once the Wild Card game comes around. The Mets will most likely make the playoffs due to the easiest schedule in all of baseball. Now on to the disappointing weekend for the New York Yankees. I could go on for thousands of words about the bombers, but I will say this… STOP PITCHING TO HANLEY RAMIREZ! Ramirez destroyed the Yankees this weekend hitting four homers in four games with two game winners one on Thursday walking off the Red Sox and an eighth inning bomb over the monster. Hanley looks like he is taking the crown from David Ortiz as the King of Yankee Killers. Not only did the Red Sox bring out the brooms against the Yanks, but they also destroyed the chances for the baby bombers to make the playoffs. The run for October is pretty much over as the Yankees are six games out of the division and now four games out of the Wild Card. Seattle and Detroit are red hot and closing in so, it was a great and unbelievable and amazing to watch but I bid the season ado.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
