Day 111

Fresh Start_111: Sports Netflix
Has the way we watched football changed? I’m not talking about the way we look at a particular play, but the way we watch a whole game. I didn’t watch the Jets game today, partially because I was in the car coming back up to school before a snow storm—but the other reason is because the Jet game wasn’t on CBS when I got back to school. I know the rule of thumb about being in a teams’ home market with it not being a sellout, but can that change? The NFL has a deal with the tv stations that broadcast the games to blackout the none sell outs, but is there a possibly an app can change that.

My grandmother and I today were talking about the possibility for a while, but I honestly don’t know if it could happen. For a college student who loves sports like myself; an app that has all the games on it would be perfect. I compare it to how game changing the Sunday Ticket was when it first game out. The app that allows you to basically be your Netflix for sports would be revolutionary in the sports media market and for the chord cutters.

The linguistics of getting all of the licensing for the major sports leagues would be tricky and probably take years to get approved, but it would make the way you watch tv completely different. This would open the flood gates for apps that will allow you to pick the channels you want instead of just your shows. Netflix and Hulu will be fine and only get better. So this, while being a wish, is also a call to action to make this app. I would ask that you include me in any way possible. This app would be comparable to what Apple did to the music industry. This app is a billion-dollar idea, MAKE IT HAPPEN!

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
