I woke up in a cold sweat this morning around 4:30am. I think I sub-consciously realized something. If Eli Manning mises any kind of time, the Giants are absolutely screwed.
I know that you are thinkng that’s obvious, but I’m not so sure that it was always the case. Last...

Wow. Can’t beleive I just wrote that title. I’ve never felt like PFT’s Mike Florio more than I do right now. (Not a dig. I think the dude is brilliant.)
Anyway, ESPN the Magazine has created an issue to combat the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Well, it’...

Here are 3 reasons I don’t like when Ranger games are on Versus:
1) Doc Emerick annoys me. Not just his homer-ism for the Devils – I understand that, and he leaves a lot of it behind when the game is on national TV – but the way he talks, his phrasing, his know-it...

It’s hard to imagine that we are already 1/4th of the way through this NFL year. Since we’ve reached that magical milestone, it’s time to look at where all the teams stand.
Baltimore Ravens (3-1) – I know that they just lost to the Pats, but at this point in...

I would’ve done “Notes from the Garden” last night, but I got home late and passed out nearly immediately. I drank what turned out to be way too much, so some of the night is a blur. I don’t normally do that at games, but hey, it was the home opener.
However...

Ever since I have gotten into twitter, I have closely been following a few people who I think share the most insightful, humorous, and outlandish information. Some of the best are Shaq, Mike Tyson, Bill Simmons, and Chad Ochocinco. Well, after this afternoon’s game in which the...

This is freaking awesome. Not only are the Raiders one of the worst teams in the NFL, but now their head coach could be headed “upstate” for awhile. This is pretty exciting. When the Raiders play the Giants next week, they could be head coachless.
The Raiders are reportedly...

Again, I’ve never been a huge fan of the One More Round gear, but they finally seem to get it with their lastest line. This one is another cool one along the same line as their “possessed” shirt.
It comes in both a black and white version. It’s a pretty simple...

The Islanders lost tonight in a shootout against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The cynic in me thinks that these are the same old Islanders who can't hold a lead against a good team. That part of me is legitimately crestfallen after this loss. After all, this was one of those nights...

Finally, we’re here. October 3. Opening Day… and Charles Wang’s “certainty” deadline.
It comes as no surprise that Wang’s deadline was not met by the Town of Hempstead. Bad news, sure, but not at all unexpected, and that’s good. Because this...

I’ve never really been all that big a fan of One More Round’s clothing. I don’t know if it’s just that Matt Hughes was there poster boy for awhile or what, but I’ve just never been all that enamored with their designs. However, this last bunch has been...

As I write this, the Rangers have played roughly two periods of their 2009-10 season. While this is an extremely small sample size, it’s not too early to draw a few conclusions about this Rangers team. Here’s an unbiased look at what we’ve seen so far…
