Fresh Start_297: “Bring it”
Dear Matt Forte,
Please shut up. Your comments to the fans to “Bring it” has no impact because you aren’t a lifetime Jet. You have only been here for one season, and that was a season in which you completely disappeared on the football field. Last season you ran for 813 yards (worst of your career), 58.1 yards per game (worst of your career), and averaged 3.7 yards per carry (2nd worst of your career). So, maybe you should “Bring it” to the field on Sunday’s before you run your mouth to media.

“In the league, it’s not about the team with the most talent on roster… it’s about the guys who have a brotherhood together.” This is coming from a guy who has played two total playoff games, and hasn’t reached the playoffs in seven years. Secondly, this league is about talent and which team with the most amount of talent can come together and trust each other forming that brotherhood to win a championship. Just ask the New England Patriots, they weren’t the most talented team in the Super Bowl, but they were more trusting than the Falcons, thus the Patriots have another ring for the organization.

I liked when the Jets signed you Mr. Forte, but you cannot attack the fans because the general manager has gutted the talent to start a rebuilding project. Just because you are the final veteran standing, doesn’t mean that you can make bold statements like “none of us on the team think we are going to tank.”

You might be thinking that, but the talent level on the team says otherwise. You can believe in your teammates all you want, but if they don’t “Bring it” on Sunday’s than the Jets will lose, and in a way tank. It is surprising at how safe your job is because of the lack luster season that you had last year Mr. Forte. Brandon Marshall now your two-time ex-teammate mattered more to this organization than you ever could. He also had a better season on the field, and had his worst season of his career since his rookie season.

As a life-time Jet fan, I don’t appreciate when a “Super Star” player comes to Gotham and tries to be the voice of the team without backing his mouth up with his play. So, next time you have something to say to the fans, make sure you score 3 touchdowns, or have a game where you rush for 100+ yards Mr. Forte.
Sincerely,

A depressed life-long Jet fan

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
