The Weekend that Was (and Monday)

Football:

Brady "Freefall" Quinn should have been taken by the Miami Dolphins at worst. What does Ted Ginn give you when the only guy throwing him the ball is Culpepper who was benched last year. The Raiders could have gotten a quaterback last year and ended up with Calvin Johnson this year. Instead he is the fourth first round receiver Matt Millen chooses. Can I get his job security...The Patriots can have the trophy, we want character. BS, we will take Moss too. How the mighty (Moss and Culpepper) have fallen. Great move, no risk, high reward. Too bad it came to this. Jets look good, but Revis better be great. J - E - T - S, Jets! Jets! Jets!

Baseball:

Only in New York can fans get nervous that a first place team has a 57 year old El Duque on the DL. Of course he is injured. Livan is the horse, El Duque is the playoff ace. That is why he is on the team. April/May mean nothing in NY unless the Yankees fall further behind the Sox. Let some pitchers go 7 and then see how the team does.

Other Sports:

Funny, but both Hockey (just because) and Basketball (no Knicks) are afterthoughts here in NY except for fans of those teams still alive (Devils/Rangers/Nets). Yes so the NBA Eastern conference is all about the sweep and the Western conference is about Don Nelson owning his old team, the Mavericks - Read Mark Cuban's blog for fun.

3 NY area or state teams are alive and the ratings barely make a blip - blame the NHL, Vs., or the fans, it doesn't matter, you want to see ratings go up, then hope Devils and Rangers both win. The games will be in primetime in NY just for them and all sports are better when NY teams have a good postseason - large market and Madison Avenue.
