NY 500 XXVI

NY 500 #26
After a week off and yet another battle of the bureau’s in basketball. The Nets won again, which is getting their win total 13.  The Nets will still have the worst record in the NBA and still give the first overall pick in this year’s draft. The Knicks are still in the same rut that they were in the before the trade deadline. Knick fans are still upset, as they should be with the product that is being displayed on the floor.

The hockey scene in New York is getting interesting. The Islanders are in the heat of a playoff battle between them and the Maple Leafs. Toronto is currently in the 8th East by only one point. The Islanders have 78 points with 11 games left. The Rangers are in the 4th spot in the East with 93 points. The Blue Shirts are 6 points behind Pittsburgh and are most likely going to sit in the 4th spot in the Eastern Conference come playoff time. I am excited for playoff hockey with the Rangers with the team that the Rangers have this season. The Islanders control their own destiny if they want to get into the playoffs. I wish them luck and hope they do well.

Spring Training is winding down and Opening Day is only 20 days away and everyday baseball that means something will be here before we know it. The Bronx Bombers are red hot this spring. Everything seems to be clicking this spring. From the starting pitching, hitting for both power and average, to the bullpen. Personally I have my concerns about this hot start and I am cautious if this hot start will hurt the Yankees when the season starts. The Mets have had a decent spring, with some injuries and hope to have a great 2017 season. I think the Mets will be fine and I also think their fans are just fed up with Spring Training and what to be going to Citi Field for meaningful baseball. It should be fun.

In the NFL, free agency is seemingly over, and it is all about the draft. The Giants have one glaring hole at running back, while the Jets have many more than that. It is extremely important for the Jets to have an important draft this April, for the moral of the team moving forward in this rebuilding process as well as the fan base. It should be fun and nerve racking to watch. Hold onto your hard hats and hope for the best! As March winds down, as New York sport fans, the best time of the year with playoff basketball, hockey, and regular season is coming—and I cannot wait! It will be here before you know it.

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...
