What You Missed
Apparently, other sports have had seasons start during the Mets playoff run. As of today, I’m still in mourning over the a Mets blowing the World Series. If you’re ready to to come back to society, here’s what you need to know:
NFL
Jets are 4-3, which is good for second in the AFC East behind the undefeated Patriots. They have a good defense, talented skill position players, and no quarterbacks. Something tells me I can cut and paste this for next year.
Giants are 4-4 which is good for sole possession of the putrid NFC East. Their defense is terrible with no pass rush. JPP is coming back, but no one knows how’s my fingers he has left or what he can do. Also, Victor Cruz is yet to play a game this year.
NHL
Rangers are 7-2-2 with 16 points, which has them tied atop the Metropolitan Division with the Capitals. They still haven’t figure out who will play on the last two lines. Their vaunted defenseman are not up to snuff, especially Girardi. They still have Lundqvist though hence the record.
Islanders are 6-3-3 which is good for third in the Metropolitan Division. They’re in the Barclay’s Center which everyone hates, but at least they got their goal horn back. Of concern, leading scorer and captain Tavares has a mystery illness keeping him out of the lineup.
Devils are somehow 6-4-1 with 13 points. Maybe they can sustain it now that Adam Henrique seems to be cashing in on the potential he showed in his rookie season four years ago.
NBA
Knicks are 2-1 with two good and one bad game. Melo finally seemed to get his legs underneath him in his last game. Porzingis has shown promise as a rookie. The Knicks free agent signings have created both depth and a hungry team.
Nets are winless at 0-3. It looks like they’re lottery bound with a lot of ping pong balls coming their way. Unfortunately, it’s going to the Celtics.
In world news, everyone is in mourning because the Mets lost the World Series. In Mets Daddy news, I’ll be rolling out stuff on the postseason starting tomorrow. I have some other ideas what to do. I’m receptive to any ideas anyone has.
