I Would Die 4 U
How many hundreds of popular songs have passionately given voice to this sentiment? New York Jets Jamal Adams pledged his life, not in service of a loved one, but to express passion for the game of football. In light of the recent CTE survey, it has created...
Free Trade
The MLB non waiver trade deadline has passed. The Yanks got better: the Mets, meh. Like the NFL draft, it's crazy to evaluate trades right after they happen. Some of the most obvious no-brainers turn out quite the opposite after a few years.Those prospects you never...
A better deal for a supercar?
A friend of mine was looking for a new car. He called and said he didn't know a lot about cars. He had been driving the same model for the last eight years and had gotten a lot of solicitations from other dealers telling him he could get a much better car for a lot...
The grass is greener….
The MLB trade deadline is approaching and so far, we've seen a lot of speculation, but not much action. Verlander, Gray, Darvish. These big names have been floated but so far, nothing. It's hard for most of us to imagine. Every day, you worry that your job may send...
Bruce!!!!
And we're not talking Jay Bruce. I'm talking the Boss, Mr. Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen. Apparently the Walter Kerr theater reps are getting antsy because Bruce hasn't given them what amounts to a set list. An article in the NY Post suggests they bring in...
The more things change…
The more they stay the same. Remember all that talk a few months ago about the Mets taking over the town? SNY ratings were ahead of YES, the 2017 squad was World Series bound, the Yanks were rebuilding. Not so fast. With the Bombers trading prospects for Todd Frazier,...
Bob Wolff, R.I.P.
The great Bob Wolff has passed at the age of 96. If ever there was a man I would hope to model my career after, it would be Bob. You'll see many eulogies and obits detailing his Hall of Fame accomplishments, the great games he called, the books he wrote, the events he...
Marathon Man
The Yankees and Red Sox played a 16 inning game yesterday. Scoring runs was like pulling teeth. So by midnight tonight, they will have played at least 34 innings in the last thirty two hours. Then the Bombers hop a flight for Minnesota for a three game set with the...
Judging All-Stars
If you're like me, you probably didn't watch the whole All Star game. Cano's tenth inning dinger won it for the AL, but the game itself wasn't particularly compelling. Fox tried to jazz it up. I thought that A-Rod walking around the infield and talking to the players...
Whose Garden Was This?
It must have been lovely. Tom Paxton wrote that song decades ago about what we're doing to the planet. My concerns are more local: 33rd and Seventh. It's hard to argue with the decision to turn the page on Phil Jackson. But since his ouster, signing Hardaway to a rich...
