NY 500 XII

NY 500 #12
Good weekend for New York sports as it has been for every weekend lately. The Rangers continue to score goals and have continued to lead the NHL in goals per game with 4.6 and also are 11th in the league in penalty killing. The Rangers continued their winning streak win two wins over the weekend, extending the streak to five straight. The Rangers beat the Bruins and Jets over the weekend, both by the score of 5-2. The success of the Rangers as an offensive machine is very small and extremely early in an 82 game season. The Islanders lost in a shoot-out against Edmonton over the weekend 4-3. The Islanders haven’t had that great of a season so far, but like I just said it’s extremely early in the year. The Islanders are 12th in the league in scoring (2.4 per) and on a three game losing streak, the last two via a loss in a shoot-out. The Islanders play Vancouver tonight and the Rangers play next on Tuesday against, guess who, Vancouver.

The Jets and Giants had different types of days’ yesterday following their 1PM EST kick-offs. The Giants stay in the division with a needed home win against the rival Eagles and the Jets now second guess everything they have done over the past two seasons with the heart breaking loss to the Dolphins. The message after a loss from the players after a loss, has been you need face adversity straight on. The coach Todd Bowles will get a ton of heat today and throughout the week after the loss, even though he doesn’t deserve much. The blame will fall on Bowles because of the Quarterback issues that have arisen in Gotham once again. Ryan Fitzpatrick might not play again this season following a knee injury he suffered late in the third quarter. He did play again in the game, but this injury might usher in the Bryce Petty era that Jet fans have been pleading for. The season might be over for 2016 after falling to 3-6. The audition for the lottery pick for Jets starts now, and the question of “do the Jets draft a QB?” arises with it. The Jets need an edge rushing backer, offensive line help, and depth at Wide receiver. The team from there on is a good team that is under performing. Don’t fire Bowles for this season please.

The Knicks and Nets had the same type of weekend that the Giants and Jets had respectively. The Nets lost on Friday night to the Hornets thanks to Kemba Walker going for 30. The Knicks had a decent but confusing weekend, because early on in this season, the team is extremely inconsistent. The Knicks looked good in a home win against the Bulls where Kristaps Porzingis scored 28 points. The loss to the Jazz is confusing, because Utah is not a good team.

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...
