NY 500 X

NY 500 #10
A nice weekend in sports in the city of New York. The Jets and Giants both won in exciting fashion. Geno Smith is out for the season with an ACL injury and didn’t look horrible in his short action Sunday going 4/6 for ninety-five yards and a touchdown. Ryan Fitzpatrick managed the game and did everything he was supposed to do and walked out of the building with a nice win. Landon Collins in London absolutely dominated the game against the Rams. He had eight tackles that was tied for the lead in the game and also had two interceptions. He returned one all the way back, and it was nothing short of the Top Play of the weekend and deservedly so was in the top ten on Sportscenter. Collins ran through the entire Ram offense in the pick six, breaking poor offensive linemen ankles and ran over a couple Rams falling into the endzone. The Giants defense was the story of the game, ending the Rams offensive possessions with three straight interceptions. Jeff Fisher and the L.A. Rams are glad they got out of London alive and well after the defensive onslaught.
Moving onto hockey where the Rangers dominated the weekend with back to back wins on Saturday and Sunday against the Caps and Coyotes in respective days. The Rangers are playing as well as you can this early in the season. The Rangers are fourth in the league in scoring and thirteenth in penalty killing (which plagued them last season) and are 4-2 playing really good hockey. The Islanders are 3-3, eighth in scoring, and first in penalty killing and are a decent team in the early part of the season. The Islanders also had a good weekend, winning on Friday against the Coyotes and Wild. The Rangers beat the Islanders in the season opener in the Garden and the game of hockey is very good, and if you are an unhappy NFL fan, go watch your local hockey team.
Lastly, since this NY 500 is very late, I will talk about the Knicks season opener in Cleveland. The self-renowned “Superteam” got absolutely stumped on ring night in Cleveland by the defending champs. Melo scored nineteen points, with Porzingis having sixteen points and seven boards. Derrick Rose didn’t get injured surprisingly scored seventeen points in his Knicks debut. This Knicks team will not be able to compete with the top dog in the East but played a nice style of basketball, and just like the Golden State Warriors, will have their struggles and have to find their brand of basketball. Knick fans calm down, this team is a good team, and will make the playoffs as a middle of the pack team. The Nets open in Barclays center tonight against the Boston Celtics. Let’s have another great weekend in New York sports in the best time of year

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...
