Halfway for the New York Rangers
The New York Rangers have hit the end of 2023 calendar year, and the first half of the 2023-2024 season has been nothing but successful for the Blueshirts with an outstanding record of 24-8-1, and while they are 1-1 after the Christmas break, there is a lot more to be happy about with these Rangers. […]
Bader And Severino Better Than Nothing
Luis Severino and Harrison Bader, the former cross-town Yankees with their familiarity to fans and New York City is better than nothing. They have been key components of a Mets offseason strategy of signing players to limited and short-term deals. Can both have an impact on the Mets strategy to stay competitive this year and […]
Reform Needed To Unify Titles
Boxing needs to unify the alphabet soup titles and last year we saw a few in the four-belt title era, though Devin Haney would unify the lightweight division and vacate the belts to move up in weight. Canelo Alvarez is in control and the so-called face of boxing can do what he wants as the […]
Their Numbers Will Rise Over Citi
I was a rookie reporter on the Mets beat when Darryl Strawberry and Dwight “Doc” Gooden electrified Shea Stadium. I can still hear the epic roars from fans in the upper deck to the lower bowels of the ballpark. The press box shook when Strawberry hit another home run, and when Gooden with an electric […]
Yanks Pivot to Stroman
The Yankees had to make that pivot after losing out in their quest to sign Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell was offered much less and they made that pivot signing Marcus Stroman for two-years at $37 million.

I leave pro wrestling out of the equation because that is entertainment and a script determines the outcome, though they also learn every time. Brandon Quinn provided me with that quote, […]
Stream And Stream: We Are Here
Allow me to say the days of going up the stream are here. Streaming networks, as I said years ago would take over sports. Last week Netflix continued their dominance purchasing rights to WWE programming with a 10-year, $5 billion dollar deal to stream Monday Night RAW and premium live events. Netflix, the leading entertainment […]
Mets Are Real Before Thin Crowds
Apparently, Mets fans are not believing in this team. The Mets completed 5-1 homestand at Citi Field before thin crowds that was capped Wednesday afternoon with a 9-1 win and a three-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Also taking two-of-three from the vastly improved Kansas City Royals shows their resilience and an ability to come […]

Legacy Continues For Canelo The Face
There is no question that Canelo Alvarez is the face of boxing. He proved that again Saturday evening in Las Vegas with a 12-round unanimous decision over fellow Mexican Jaime Munguia and handed him his first professional loss. Alvarez retained his unified super middleweight titles. In the fourth round Munguia went down for the first […]
