Steinbrenner Giving In To Dodgers?

2 months ago | nysportsday.com | Rich Mancuso

Yankee fans did not want to hear owner Hal Steinbrenner say it will be difficult to compete with spending habits of the World Series champion Dodgers. Then again this is a different era when the late George Steinbrenner would continue to spend as the Yankees were known as “The Evil Empire.”But that was George and this is Hal. Different philosophy or era?
Without Urgo Rams Get A-10 Win

2 months ago | nysportsday.com | Rich Mancuso

Something was different at the Rose Hill Gym Sunday afternoon when the Fordham Rams opposed Duquesne. Fordham head coach Keith Urgo wasn’t on the sidelines serving the second of a four-game suspension due to recruiting violations. And the Rams in desperate need of a Atlantic-10 Conference win got their first, 65-63, when Josh Rivera hit a 3-pointer with 24 seconds left. The Rams got their first conference win in seven games, much needed and without their coach.
With Glenn and Mougey In Place, Will Rodgers Be The Next Piece?

2 months ago | nysportsday.com | Jeff Moeller

The Jets have their coach and now their GM. Darren Mougey wasn’t the big name the Jets’ fans might have expected to pair with new coach Aaron Glenn. But the 39-year-old has been Denver’s assistant GM , and he had his second interview in Florham Park last Thursday. Mougey was part of the Broncos’ Super Bowl team in 2015, and he helped them get back to the playoffs this season. Denver faced a league-high $89 million in dead money on the salary cap.
Jets Add New Face As Head Coach, And Can Bring Back An Old One As GM

Jan 24, 2025 | nysportsday.com | Jeff Moeller

Aaron Glenn is beginning to settle in as the new Jets’ head coach. He’ll meet the media Monday, and some of his staff should be revealed. Although it appears ex-Cardinals head coach and recent ex-49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks has been linked as Glenn’s DC, former Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak would fill the same role, and longtime special team guru Mike Westhoff has been rumored to be heading back to the Jets’ sidelines.
Beltran Will Wait Another Year

Jan 22, 2025 | nysportsday.com | Rich Mancuso

Carlos Beltran received 70.3 percent among vote getters in the Baseball Hall of Fame voting for the class of 2025 among 394 ballots cast. That was fourth behind Billy Wagner, CC Sabathia, and Ichiro Suzuki. Though it’s a cinch that Beltran will reach the threshold next January when the 2026 class is announced. I am not eligible to vote in this esteemed process as a non member of the Baseball Writers of America, though if I had the privilege Beltran would have another vote.
C.C. Sabathia Gave His Left Arm for Baseball

Jan 22, 2025 | nysportsday.com | Howie Karpin

How many times have you heard this refrain from wanna be professional baseball players, “I would give my right arm to play Major League Baseball.”C.C. Sabathia’s left arm provided him with 251 wins and 3,093 strikeouts over a fabulous 19-year career that officially ended on the mound when he couldn’t physically pitch anymore but ended up with a spot in Cooperstown.
Is Alonso Gone for Sure?

Jan 21, 2025 | nysportsday.com | Rich Mancuso

My instincts say Pete Alonso is not done with the Mets. I have to believe the Mets, as they appear to be going in another direction, are not done with their homegrown All-Star, reiterating of course this is the business of baseball. The Mets proposed a decent contract offer of (3 years $68-70 million) with an opt out. As of now it’s Alonso not with the Mets, and no team has reportedly made an offer, though hearing Blue Jays and Giants are teams in pursuit.
Grand Old Gym at Rose Hill

Jan 16, 2025 | nysportsday.com | Rich Mancuso

There’s a 100th anniversary up at Rose Hill in the Bronx. The campus at Fordham University has an old and new look, iconic and famed structures of lecture and study halls. The Jack Coffey field for football in the fall and baseball season where surrounding trees are in bloom. And history at the Lombardi Athletic Center in honor of the late Hall of Fame coach. Yes, Fordham University has tradition and history.
Philly Special: Knicks Hold Off Gritty Sixers in Overtime

Jan 16, 2025 | nysportsday.com | Howie Karpin

The Knicks made it hard on themselves, but they found a way to get a win over a gritty Philadelphia 76ers team that was severely shorthanded. Jalen Brunson scored 8 of his game high 38 points in overtime as the Knicks scored a 125-119 win at the Wells Fargo Center Wednesday night. The Knicks made all five of their shots and all five of their free throws in the extra session to avoid what would’ve been a disheartening loss to a team that has gotten used to playing without Joel Embiid.
Don’t Buy Fury Retirement

Jan 14, 2025 | nysportsday.com | Rich Mancuso

“Hi everybody. I’m gonna make this short and sweet. I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast. I’ve loved every single minute of it, and I’m going to end with this. Dick Turpin wore a mask, God Bless, everybody, see you on the other side.”So said Tyson Fury on his Instagram post Monday. The former heavyweight champion who recently lost his second consecutive championship fight to Oleksandr Usyk called it quits. Are we to believe that Fury has hung up the gloves?
