On Monday, the Jets introduced new GM Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn to the press. But words will not give Jets fans what they most desire—a playoff-caliber team. Aaron Glenn discussed his upbringing and his objectives for the team, and it’s clear that he is a master behind the microphone. The problem is that the game isn’t played there.

“We have learned through losing and winning,” SPU head coach Jennifer Leedham said. “A game like this validates our process.”JERSEY CITY, NJ, Saturday, January 18: When Jennifer Leedham took over the Saint Peter’s Peacocks women’s basketball program in 2022, she was tasked with building it up. This meant trusting the process of finding players to play together who would fit her offensive attack style, which is a shoot-first team. The fruits of her labor may have come to fruition.

The NFL’s Wild Card Weekend is over, and the playoffs move to the Divisional Round. Neither NY-area NFL team is involved, and that’s not something new: it’s a pattern. Will that change? I say it won’t, and here’s why. Fans of the eight teams still in the hunt are hopeful and excited. For the others, the season is over. For NY-area fans, “over” has big stretch marks on it, and that’s because New York is an NFL graveyard.

Success over the long haul requires Sirens to play better against teams that offer match-up challenges. Good thing it’s a long season. There are 22 more games left after the Sirens completed their eighth game of the season with a 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Charge on Tuesday night at Prudential Center. The Sirens blew a 1-0 lead in the first period and, from there, played catch-up most of the night against Ottawa.

I had to admit that I did not see this coming this soon. No Mets fan did. There has been a groundswell of New York Mets fans wanting Dwight Gooden’s No. 16 and Darryl Strawberry’s No. 18 to be retired at Citi Field for a long time that goes back to 10 to 15 years. That day will finally arrive next season, as the Mets announced their numbers will be retired on Thursday.

From all accounts, Zach Wilson played well in his two preseason games as the Jets starting quarterback. He registered a quarterback rating of 104.2 and 104.7, and most importantly, he has not turned the ball over. He had the offense moving. The Jets have been singing sweet music about their once-franchise quarterback by praising him at every opportunity. Jets starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers raved about how the Jets are in a good situation with Wilson playing well as a backup.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll enjoyed a great first season. Under the first year of their leadership, the Giants made the playoffs and won a playoff game. This extends their honeymoon for another season where there are no expectations. Big Blue could have a bad year, and they won’t receive the outrage that Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone are currently receiving from the Tri-state area sports fans.

The Yankees host the Boston Red Sox for a three-game weekend series on Friday night. They took an 8-3 loss to their ancient rivals to go to 60-62 for the season. There’s quite an irony about this with The Old Towne Team in town. For a long time, they would be looking up to the Yanks. This ended for good in 2004 when they overcame a 3-0 deficit to beat their tormentors in the American League Championship Series.

Ever since the Mets had their fire sale, they have gone 6-11 after a 7-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night at Citi Field. They just came off being outscored 40-10 by the Atlanta Braves in their weekend series at Citi Field, including losing 21-3 in Game 1 of the doubleheader Saturday. The Amazins stunk since June, and they have never recovered. They will likely finish the season in last place, as they try to get a high draft pick to accelerate their rebuilding process.
