It may seem strange to use fishing analogies in the cold Northeast this time of year, but they seem to fit the 2009 offseason for the New York Mets, especially since it’s no secret that New York has been a Yankee town during the majority of the Mets’ existence.
Or, in fishing terms, the Mets, in [...]

The Mets interest in Chone Figgins is nothing new. In fact, after the season ended a little of a month ago, the club targeted the speedy leadoff man as one of their targets during this offseason.
If they can nab the 31 year-old, it would be a real step in the right direction for the Mets. [...]

Chambers out, but not closed….
The Chargers released the veteran receiver, but it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Though Chambers is a talented receiver in his own right, Rivers likes to go vertical and loves to throw to his gaint receivers. With Chambers standing at all, but 5’11” he was dwarfed by his receiving [...]

Although his last name begins with it, and he’s never coached a team in his career which has either (D)emonstrated it nor been committe(D) to it, New York Knicks’ hea(D) coach Mike D’Antoni this offseason and preseason, preache(D) a renewe(D) belief for his team in a single letter: a ‘D’ — as in (D)efense.
However, talking [...]

When NFL Training camps opened back in late July, very few people, if any thought the Broncos would have a 2009 season to savor. With a new regime taking over and many changes taking place this team had more of the look of rebuilding, than contending.
Following what could only have been described as a disastrous [...]

Last week, we discovered a few things.  Firstly, LSU may be a top 10 team (I still don’t think they are a top 5 team) for reasons I’ll discuss in a little bit (as their game against Florida is definitely the game of the week.)  Secondly, the U is a 10 win team as they [...]

While this week doesn’t have the big time matchups between top 10 teams that occurred the first two weeks of the season, there are still plenty of intriguing games this weekend.  The most talked about game of this weekend is taking place at Florida, who hosts Tennessee.  Of course, this game isn’t hyped because of [...]

Rex Ryan didn’t come here to kiss Bill Belicheck’s rings. Respect is one thing, laying down is another. Tom Brady, after hearing Ryan’s comment that the Jets will treat Sunday’s game like a Super Bowl, answered “the Super Bowl..that’s played in February.” It’s Jets Patriots time again. One of the NFL’s most heated rivalries returns [...]

SYOSSET, NY— Pittsburgh turned a slew of disappointing seasons and high draft picks into a team that is now a perennial contender. So maybe it’s no coincidence the Islanders will open against the defending Stanley Cup champions after trying to emulate the Penguins rebuilding model.
John Tavares, the No. 1 overall draft choice, signed a three-year [...]

Bronx, NY – The ghost at Yankee Stadium last night was obviously Casey Stengel and you could actually see him above the field winking his eye, rubbing his leathery face and uttering, “Amazin’.”
After last night’s improbable 9-8 Yankee win, the Bombers swear Mystic and Aura made their way up from Scores, but the Mets seem [...]
