Bills had no choice

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:06:56 GMT

The firing of Bills coach Dick Jauron caught me by surprise ony because it came at midseason. Then again, why wait? The Bills are a bad football team, and Jauron had no answers. Bills fans were fooled by the signing of Terrell Owens in the off-season, but one player goes not make Buffalo a playoff team. In fact, they're far from it. Jauron is a nice man but not the right coach in Buffalo.

Rex Ryan should keep a low profile

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:36:19 GMT

After Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, all head coach Rex Ryan can do from here on out, is keep his mouth shut. No more talking about making the playoffs, because that is not going to happen. The Jet had the lead with 5 minutes to play, but Jacksonville drove the field on the Jets defense. The season is over, their 4-5, and not making the postseason. Ryan needs to look in the mirror, because he is a big reason for that 4-5 record. Twice on Sunday, the Jets had 12 men on the field. And his use of timeouts, leaves you shaking you're head.

Agassi tarnished his image

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:13:59 GMT

Why would Andre Agassi write an autobiography revealing he tested positive for a banned substance and ruin his reputation? I am not a huge tennis fan, but have always had a great deal of respect for Agassi. Unless he just needs the money---he obviously does---from the book, all he did was tarnish his image.

RPI Hockey team off to a great start

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:36:15 GMT

It was only the opening weekend in the ECAC, but what a great start for the RPI hockey program under head coach Seth Appert. Sweeping two games against sixth-ranked Yale and Brown is a good sign. The RPI faithful have been waiting for a breakthrough season, and a 2-0 start gives the fans plenty to look forward to.

Should the Yankees bring back Matsui

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 20:41:24 GMT

How can the Yankees not bring back their World Series MVP? The answer is, very easily. As good as Matsui was in the World Series, the Yankees can't use him in the outfielder anymore, and he is not getting any younger. GM Brian Cashman is very careful when it comes to resigning aging players, for a lot of money. It's very unlikely Matsui will be back with the Yankees in 2010, but he won't soon be forgotten, that's for sure.

Yankees will win game six

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 19:50:22 GMT

Yankee fans don't need to panic, and here's why. Andy Pettitte always comes up big in the postseason, and he will again on Wednesday night, even on short rest. He needs to get through six, have Joba Chamberlain pitch the seventh, and then have Rivera close it out. I don't expect Pedro Martinez to pitch as well as he did in game two. Yankees wrap up their 27th World Series title on Wednesday night. It could be a high scoring game six, but the Yankees will prevail.

Yankees will win the World Series

I like the Yankees in six. Yankees starting pitching is better than Philadelphia, and the three man rotation will be hard to beat. Who do you like, and why?

Manuel deserves some credit

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:27:59 GMT

When you talk about great managers in Major League Baseball, Charlie Manuel's name does not come up, but maybe it should. Manuel has a low-key approach, his players respond, and the Phillies are back in the World Series. Best move Manuel made so far in the postseason was not giving up on Cole Hamels and Brad Lidge.

Sanchez plays like rookie

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:48:09 GMT

If Mark Sanchez is the Jets franchise quarterback, he needs to start playing like it. What bothered me the most watching him on Sunday, was his lack of confidence. He looked like a player, who just wanted to leave the playing field and head for the lockeroom. There will be better days ahead, but he needs to show me a little more toughness.

Kevin Broadus can't stay

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:39:34 GMT

Binghamton basketball coach Kevin Broadus was given an indefinite paid leave of absence Wednesday, but he should be shown the door. Former Georgetown coach John Thompson can come to his rescue all he wants, but Broadus embarrassed the university and should not be allowed to return next season, no matter what the price tag.
