A Future Look Back At 2009
I'm back from the future and 2009 was a helluva year in New York sports. January 1st: a cable outage prevents the metropolitan New York area from watching any college bowl games...

Cowher Says No; Go Get Shanahan
I really am a nice guy. I should just sit here with my mouth shut and let the Jets do their usual silly things. Yesterday I heard talk of Marty Schottenheimer (not the son) being considered as HC of the NYJ...

Let's Take Andruw Jones, A Guy Who Hit .158
The Mets are considering taking a guy who hit .158 last year and I actually like the idea. He's Andruw Jones and he's only 32, which is toddler-age for a typical Omar pickup...plus the rumor has the Dodgers paying much of the money...

Message For Bill Cowher: Stay Far Away From The Meadowlands
Dear Bill Cowher, When people hear your name they think "winner." I see today you turned down the Browns offer. Don't consider for even a second coming to the Meadowlands. You can't win...

Jets Do What Mets Should Have Done To Willie
Well the Jets got one thing right, they fired the coach the day after a disastrous season. I still don't understand how the Mets brought Willie back for 2008, after the historic 2007 collapse, only to have Willie dig a huge hole for the team...

What Do The Patriots Do With Matt Cassell?
11-5 and missed the playoffs. Ouch. For the Patriots the question now is what to do at QB. Nearly a decade ago the Patriots had a QB that had taken them to the Super Bowl in Drew Bledsoe...

What do the Same Old Jets do Now?
Ah Jets will you never learn? A missed PAT. A pick-six from Favre. A blocked punt. A loss to Oakland. A loss to San Francisco. Oh yeah, and the Ravens won anyway...

Fun Stuff from the Week (Including Yanks Fans Rooting for Laundry)
Some things that got attention during the week: A bunch of people called me to task for writing that Yankee Fans Are Just Rooting For Laundry Now (in the wrong building). Some agree about not getting Manny when I said The Mets Are Having A Smart Day...

I Have lived long Enough to see Four NFL games Televised to NYC!
Glory Glory Hallelujah! My whole life I have been subject to that horrible phrase "except in New York." A month ago I prayed to the Blogods when I wrote It's 2008, Can We Have The Doubleheader? Today, my prayers have been answered...

NFL Lifting Doubleheader Restrictions?
A month ago I brought up the silliness of the NFL Doubleheader rules—as if Jets fans were going to blow off today's Dolphins game to watch 49ers-Redskins...

Jets to Crash Again
Ah Jets, how I enjoy your misery (read this if you missed it: I Hate The Jets ). Another disastrous Jets season and another lame Jets-pun headline. Today will be so sweet...
-
Yes, the Jets are Awful
A friend sent me this link: All time NFL Franchise Rankings which you guessed it, ranks the franchises by the Misery-to-Joy index. While the Jets are not say the Chicago/St.Louis/Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals, they are pretty far down the list...

Enjoy San Francisco 49ers Mustache Madness
From ESPN.com and the SF Chronicle. The Niners will be wearing their throwback uniforms on Sunday, and members of the team have been inspired by photos of the team's greats—many ...

Can Someone Do Steroids Or Something?
This offseason has been awfully quiet. The Mets and Yankees made a few pickups and since then there's been silence. There's no looming strike nor contraction nor home run records being broken...

Yankee Fans Just Rooting For Laundry Now (In The Wrong Bulding)
I think the band Nerf Herder said it best in their song "Vanhalen" when they sang: Is this what you wanted? Sammy Hagar. Sammy Hagar, is this what you wanted man? So Yankee fans, congratulations...

49ers Should Hire Singletary But The NFL's Interim Coach Hiring Rules Are Unfair
I love the San Francisco 49ers. I believe interim coach Mike Singletary has done a fine job with the group of players that has been handed to him. It looks like he's laid a solid foundation for the 2009 season...

Mets Having A Smart Day!
Wow first I read that the Wilpons don't want Manny, now I read they aren't going to buy into this World Baseball Classic nonsense. Spring training is to get your players ready as a team...

Omar Wants Manny; Fortunately Wilpons Don't
Skimming through the Star-Ledger today I read the Omar Minaya would like to add Manny Ramirez to the team. Sure who wouldn't want a slugging left-fielder? I don't and the Wilpons don't...

Teixiera To Yanks - Jeter's Future Might Be Out Of NYC
I don't care about the money. The Yankees have the money, the Mets have the money. Eight years of Teixiera means the Yankees are tied up at the corners for the next eight years. The captain will be 35 this season...

What Has Omar Actually Done?
(The source material from this piece is from http://armchairgm.wikia.com/Omar_Minaya ) Today's post is a little different...

The New York Mets Aren't Any Better Than a Year Ago
So, I was thinking about the Wilpons and how much Jeff annoys me, and how little the franchise has accomplished since Frank Cashen got old. Then I thought about how the 2009 Mets are no better than the 2008 team...

Broadcasting Stuff from the Week (Including Al Michaels and Michael Kay)
This post about Michael Kay got a lot of attention. One of the things I brought up was my suspicion that Kay doesn't like the regular folks. I don't know where Kay stays or doesn't stay when on the road...

Why I Hate the New York Jets
I hate the Jets. I used to like the Jets. I lived in Queens and they played in Queens. They were my team. My dad got me into the Mets, and Jets sounded like Mets and they played in the same ...

The Best Met of the 1990's Was....
Yesterday I explored some candidates for the best Met of the 1990's. There were some really poor candidates. Bobby Jones? Todd Hundley and his .240 average? The despised Bobby Bonilla?Nope...
