NY 500 VIII

NY 500 #8
*I am writing this article a day late because of my brothers birthday yesterday, this is a one-time thing, I apologize.*
It is officially football, basketball, and hockey season in New York right now. The Yankees and Mets are out of the playoffs, and as much as I want to continue watching Yankee baseball, it is over. The Jets lost again and in this game I didn’t think they would win. Pittsburgh is one of the best teams in the NFL. The defense couldn’t keep up against the burners that were on the Steelers had. The offense needs to get under the microscope and reevaluate what the team is doing on that side of the ball. Brandon Marshall had a good game catching eight balls for one hundred and fourteen yards and one touchdown. Matt Fortè needs to find himself and become the running back that was signed in the offseason. Even with three straight losses I feel confident with the Jets going on the road against the Arizona Cardinals. As I said in my honest review on Sunday I feel good about the next five weeks. For the Giants, the answer of is Odell Beckham Jr. for real has been answer. Beckham Jr. had a decent game with five catches for fifty-six yards and his first touchdown of the season. It will remain to be seen if this breaks him out of the slump he has been in over the first quarter of the season. Eli Manning needs to be more consistent against teams if the team wants to be able to compete in games. Eli was 18/35 for one hundred and ninety-nine yards and the touchdown to OBJ. The Giants defense who has been playing great for the first four weeks of the season, looked like they were in quicksand against Aaron Rodgers and the cheese heads. The game was entertaining and was one a seven-point win for the Packers.
The NBA and NHL preseasons have started and it hasn’t been a big focus of mine. The Rangers had a decent preseason and look like one of the better teams in the NHL. The opening game is this Thursday at home against the Islanders. I am excited for Ranger hockey and I will be watching on Thursday with rotation with Thursday Night Football. The Knicks and Nets have been decent in the preseason. Jeremy Lin has become the star of the Brooklyn Nets, and personally I am not looking forward to basketball season. The Nets might be the worst teams in NBA history, and will win the lottery and get the best player in college. This season for the Nets is the ultimate tank job, and Brook Lopez will not be on the team next season. The Knicks will have an adjustment period but will be a playoff team, probably around the fifth or sixth seed.

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...
