Tom Maayan: From Basketball to Military Man?
Seton Hall freshman point guard Tom Maayan had a lot on his shoulders coming into the 2012-2013 season. He had a lot of playing time throughout the season because of an injury filled Pirate team and without him, the team would have probably been in a worse position than what they were already. Rumors spread during the season saying that Maayan would be heading back home to Israel...

What would a week in 2013 Yankeeland be without injury scares and minor-league call-ups?
The Yankees closed out a home series against the Seattle Mariners Thursday night with a 3-2 loss. More disconcerting than the actual outcome of the game was the fact that starter Andy Pettitte left the game in the fifth inning with an injury.

New York Knicks Season Obituary

I believe now is as good a time as any to write an obituary for the New York Knicks.

Over the past few weeks, he’s been called a coward. He’s been said to not be “man-enough” to play, but only one person can really know for sure what’s going on with Derrick Rose; and that’s Derrick Rose himself. After tearing his ACL in last year’s playoffs, the superstar point guard for the Chicago Bulls had reconstructive surgery and has been...

Pacers Finish Over Knicks in Game 3
Last night’s Knicks-Pacers game went in the same style that many predicted it would when the series began: ugly. Neither team shot for higher than 40% from the field yet it was the Pacers who ended up netting the 82-71 victory in a critical game three.
The deciding force in the win was second chance opportunities. Led by yet another stellar game from Pacers’ center Roy Hibbert...
Low-Key Yankees Striking All the Right Notes
It’s not often that the Yankees aren’t the biggest sports story in New York, but with the Knicks and Rangers in the playoffs and the Islanders and Nets recently eliminated, the Yankees haven’t had custody of the back page of the paper too much lately.
In fact, the only Yankees-related story that garnered any attention this weekend came straight out of the who-cares file. Apparently...
