NY 500 IX

NY 500 #9
This is the weekend that happens every year, where the focus for New York sports fans switch their focus to football, hockey, and basketball. The Nets and Knicks are in the middle of their preseason, while the Rangers have officially started their season going 1-1 last week and have a game later today against a tough San Jose Sharks team. The leader in goals is Chris Kreider with two and new Ranger Mika Zibanejad leads in assists. From the few minutes that I have watched the Rangers, they have looked like an improvement from last year’s team, which lacked speed and play making ability. I will unfortunately not be able to watch tomorrow night’s game because I have class. I will also be late to watch the Jets game tomorrow for the same reason.

For the Giants, they have just picked up a huge win against the Baltimore Ravens. The Giants needed to get this game to still be in the hunt for the NFC East. Odell Beckham Jr. had an incredible game grabbing eight balls for two hundred and twenty-two yards and two touchdowns. OBJ shows again how explosive he can be, and how he can dictate the game with nothing any defensive player can do. With that said, his emotions still ALMOST cost the Giants the ballgame getting an un-sportsman like penalty giving Joe Flacco one last chance to win the game. The Jets play tonight and I am still confident that the Jets can pull out a win, and this game for the Jets becomes a most win, like the Giants, to keep their hopes alive in the division. The Dolphins Bills, and Patriots all won on Sunday and if the Jets want any shot at the playoffs, they have to play the game of the season tonight in Arizona. No Yankee or Met news regarding the teams this week, but possible some to come in the following weeks with the MLB playoffs winding down.

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...
