NY 500 VII

NY 500 #7
This the time of year, where us New York sport fans get excited each and every day for what is on our tv. For the baseball fans it is a separating time for the city. Usually the Yankees are the ones going into the playoffs hot and ready for a title chase. This year the bombers are sitting this year out, while the Mets are looking to go back to the World Series and actually compete in this year’s series. I have to say to my good friends that are Mets fans, I am happy for you, but I will not route for the Mets even though they are a New York team. The Mets have denied the odds with all the injuries that they have had this season that include David Wright, Matt Harvey, and Neil Walker. At one point in the season, the entire starting infield was one the shelf. The injuries may be too much for the Metropolitans even in the Wild Card game. I wish them luck and hope for some good playoff games from every team involved.
For the hockey teams, it is preseason and doesn’t really matter. I am excited for the start of Ranger hockey, and hope for better season than last. The Giants don’t play until later tonight and it should be a really good game. The New York Jets imploded once again, and snatched defeat in the jaws of victory. The Jets were on a game tying drive which was halted by Richard Sherman and one of the best defenses in the NFL. I really like Pete Carroll and how he runs his team, but this week I don’t like what his team did to mine. The Jets are in a tough place and the schedule with the Pittsburgh Steelers are waiting the big ketchup bottle in Pittsburgh. Geno Smith might have a resurgence in a Jets uniform due to the play of Ryan Fitzpatrick. The play by Fitz has been so incredible awful and straight up unacceptable. I said it yesterday and I will say it today, you have to at least give Geno Smith half of the first team snaps and have him at the ready if Ryan Fitzpatrick continues to play the way he is.

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...
