Giants Serve Cowboys on a Silver Platter The New York Giants had worked all off-season looking towards their Week 1 match up with their arch-rival the Dallas Cowboys. When they lined up to run their first play of the season, they didn’t imagine the ball ending up in the hands of DeMarcus Ware. That only foreshadowed what was going to come for Big Blue, who coughed up the [...]
Serena Williams won her 5th U.S. Open Grand Slam event today at Flushing Meadows. But not without a battle (almost 3 hours) by a gutsy and determined Victoria Azarenka. Serena won the trophy which she deserves, but Azarenka won respect as well. Hopefully the men’s championship is as good. It will be. But this will be hard to top. Well done ladies!
The intent here is to not deny this historic event, but to shed light on the events that lead to this terrible moment in our history. It is most certainly worth the read. Whether you like Bill O’Reilly (however, let’s not minimize Martin Dugard’s contributions to this book!) or not, this is an easy read and has an incredible insight to the thinking of an insane man (JWB) and what would [...]
Well, we have seen some sleazy coaches in the NFL, but we now have a new #1. “Coach”…….hard to use that phrase for Rex……Ryan has been trying his best to get the axe. But unfortunately for him, the owner of the Jets has no clue about running a football team and will keep him on to finish the complete demolition of the New York Jets franchise. Rex putting Mark Sanchez in [...]
There are some pretty good athletes from the northern New Jersey area that are worth keeping an eye on as they look to make an impact on their respective programs. Particular ones to watch are: Andrew Monaghan: Former standout at Wayne Hills HS and current wide receiver at Wesley College in Delaware Mary Wiley: All-County softball player at Old Tappan HS and heading to George Washington U Chris Pantale: Former Wayne Valley/Boston College [...]
THE FAT LADY IS NOT ONLY SINGING FOR A-ROD Alex Rodriguez finally returned to the Yankee lineup on Monday night in an 8-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox. He hit the ball hard a few times and ended up with a 1-4 day at the plate. The real story is that he has received an 211 game suspension from Major League Baseball and has appealed it. Should he [...]
42 was not just an entertaining movie for knowledgeable and nostaglic sports fans, it was an entertaining movie all around. I had never seen Chadwick Boseman in anything before to be honest, but I was very impressed with his fine portrayal of Jackie Robinson. And Harrison Ford’s role as Branch Rickey was a terrific performance as well. Thought Christopher Meloni as Leo Durocher was a bad miscast, but not enough to [...]
The suspension of Ryan Braun hit the airwaves yesterday and rocked the baseball world. He has admitted to PED use and will not play for the rest of the season. The suspension is officially 65 games. Braun tried the Lance Armstrong tactic of denying use and throwing everyone he could under the bus to keep his name clean. Like Armstrong, his lies finally caught up to him when Anthony Bosch, [...]
Congratulations to my nephew Brendan as he is the new assistant coach/pitching coach for the UMass-Lowell Riverhawks. He is currently managing the Sag Harbor Whalers in the Hampton League. He lives and dies for baseball, so let’s keep an eye on him as Girardi can’t manage the Yankees forever! Stellar career at St. John’s and the minors. And was a helluva QB in HS as well. This has the makings of [...]
It’s been 77 years since a Brit has won the men’s championship at Wimbledon in their own backyard. Until today. Andy Murray shocked Novak Djokovic to win the title. The perennial runner up to Roger, Rafael and Novak finally overcame the second place stigma and surprisingly beat the number one player in the world. With Federer getting long in tennis years and Nadal battling injuries, this may not be the [...]
