Thoughts on the NBA Season so Far
Last night, another ho hum night in the NBA-—a Monday night no less that usually should be dominated by Monday Night Football (Patriots-Bills was a snooze fest), Klay Thompson decided he was going to go absolutely bonkers and set the record for three pointers made in a game. After starting the season shooting 5/36 from three, Klay decided to hell with that and shot 14/24 from three last night for 52 points and breaking his teammates' record (Steph Curry that is) for threes in a game. So much for a slump. In the first half alone, again the FIRST HALF, he was 10/14 from three with 36 points. Casual. Oh, and the half time score read like this:

Week 8 Picks Against the Spread
Another week of NFL football coming up. Can't believe it's already week eight, the season is flying by, and for us New York Giants fans, this season CANNOT end soon enough. After another ridiculous loss this past Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons, the Giants sit at 1-6. This was a team I was super excited about before the season started, too—just an awful, awful season for them.

Week 7 Picks Against the Spread
It's Thursday night and I just got home from a date that I did not want to be on but I went because a friend of mine convinced me to go and I felt bad about being there because it was never going to result to anything long term. I don't like misleading people, like the NY Giants, specifically Eli Manning, mislead me this past off season that he still had something left in the tank and the Giants would be good this year. So much hate but at least NBA season started this week; a saving grace when your favorite football team sucks and the NFL makes you sad now.

NBA Season Is Back and That Makes Me Very Very Happy
We are back everyone. Time to rejoice because the NBA season tipped off this week. The greatest league in America is back playing meaningful games and I am here for all of it. Now that beach season has come to an end (which makes me sad), NBA season, even while being a die hard New York Knicks fan (which is like having a terminal illness), basketball season is the perfect pick me up. And this season is going to be excellent; so many story lines and narratives this year to talk about and I will be talking about a lot of it this year.

Week 5 Picks Against the Spread
So it's Thursday night. The NY Giants are playing and Eli Manning currently looks like shit (not a surprise) and I contemplate why I still watch this god forsaken sport. I talk about how much the NFL sucks all the time and yet I am still watching. I guess I have a sickness; whatever. At least Saquon Barkley is fun to watch but other than that, screw everything that is New York Giants related. Puke city. What's crazy is that last season, when Ben McAdoo benched Eli last year and everyone (myself included) maybe he was on to something. Whatever, I am done with the Giants this year. NBA season can not start fast enough for ya boy.

The Current State of New York SportsTop Story - October 2018
New York City—the most unique, important, dynamic city in the world. New Yorkers don't fuck around. New Yorkers have an arrogance about them, a swagger that comes from being the media and financial capital of the world. We are better than you and are not afraid to tell it you your face. Just ask someone who lives in New Jersey—they may think they are the sixth borough but anyone from New York dumps all over them for being inferior. "Nothing stinks like Jersey"—everyone who lives in New York. "Out of towners" may not love us but they flock to live here. New York has and will always be king.

NFL Week 5 Picks Against the Spread
NFL Week 5 As I write this (Sunday morning, October 7), the Giants are basically done after looking like crap at home against the Saints in week 4. Eli looked like crap again and it will probably be another long year for the NYG.

For the Love of the Game: Fantasy Football and Other Soul Crushing Reasons to Keep Watching the NFL
So it's already week 4 of the NFL season. Can't believe we are a month in already. My feelings on the NFL as a whole are very mixed; it's entertaining yet the level of play is poor, the coaching has been really bad across the league and the refs don't seem to know the rules anymore. With all that said, there have been some fantastic finishes and a monster upset (the Bills winning outright while being a 17 point underdog last week).

For the Love of the Game: 'I Am Sad'... and Other Thoughts on the Giants' 2018 Season So Far
I am a fan of the New York Giants and I am sad; I am sad that this season has not started out the way I thought and it looks like it's already over for the Giants before it even got started.I bought into the "revamped" offensive line. I bought into the fact that Eli Manning still had something in the tank. I bought into the fact that a coaching change would be a difference; that anyone is better than that ass-hat Ben McAdoo. I thought the Giants, with shiny offensive weapons such as Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr., would lead the Giants to be closer to the 11-5 team of two years ago than the 3-13 team from last year.Well it looks like I was WRONG—very, very wrong.
