SPMT 430-The Source of Everything Sports

When Tyson Chandler signed with the Knicks in the offseason, I was pumped up to say the least.  The Knicks had been lacking a dominant center in their starting lineup since, I don’t know, Patrick Ewing?  And that was way too long ago. He came to the Knicks because he believed they had a great […]

As a lifelong Jets fan, I had mixed feelings when Tim Tebow was traded to the Jets.  I was surprised, confused, intrigued, and ultimately unprepared for the trade.  After thinking it over, this trade was a bargain. The Jets traded this year’s 4th round and 6th round draft picks to the Denver Broncos for Tebow […]

Once Pettitte retired two years ago, I always had a feeling he’d be back.  Like so many athletes, like so many Yankees, he couldn’t quit the game cold turkey. And so here he is, #46 Andy Pettite, one of my favorite players growing up, coming back as a Yankee after signing a minor-league deal a […]

Last Wednesday, Knicks head coach Mike D’antoni “resigned,” really meaning he was forced out of New York.  All I have to say is FINALLY.  Honestly, I never wanted this guy to be coaching the Knicks in the first place. Back after the nauseating and depressing Isiah Thomas-era, the Knicks hired D’antoni to turn around the […]

No one had a “thunderous” right hook quite like “Irish” Micky Ward.  Every fight he was in proved to be a battle, which made him a true warrior in the ring.  A few of the fights resulted in some of the most brutal, and classic fights of all time. The currently retired junior welterweight professional boxer from […]

The news of the New Orleans Saints “bounty” program is pretty sickening, especially after they have been called out on it before. The NFL investigated them once a couple of years ago, after owner Tom Benson told general manager Mickey Loomis to have it stopped, and worst of all, long after it had stopped working. […]

Little-known Utah Jazz forward Jeremy Evans was by far the underdog going into Saturday night’s Slam Dunk Competition.  That was until he ended up winning it. Evans, who replaced the injured Knicks guard Iman Shumpert (who, as a Knicks fan, wanted to see compete), didn’t start off so well.  He began by softly reversing an off-the-bounce […]

No, it’s not normal for me to be talking about the team I hate the most, the Boston Red Sox.  However, at the same time, I always pay attention to what they are doing because they have a lot, if not everything, to do with the Yankees. This season, there will be no drinking in […]

Jeremy Lin and the Knicks is all what people talk about (including myself), but as a Knicks fan, we should be talking about them right now. On Sunday afternoon, Lin and the Knicks took down the reigning NBA champion Dallas Mavericks in an exciting, action-packed game that went back and forth in the second half. […]

For New York Yankee fans, it’s about time.  The team agreed Friday to trade much-maligned pitcher A.J. Burnett to the Pittsburgh Pirates for two minor leaguers, a deal that ends a very up-and-down tenure for Burnett with the Yankees. I hope that a smaller market, National League team will help turn his career around. It wasn’t all […]
