This Week on the Blog

Alright. The Surreality continues.  But thank God, the NFL is making do. So in less than 2 weeks we will have 3 days of an NFL Draft and some relative normalcy. More on that in a bit.  Let's take a look at the teams. Let's take a look at the rest.

Yankees: The Yanks still have some guys in Tampa, while the rest of the team distance trains from wherever they are in the world. The Yanks will have this buttoned up whenever its finally time to play.  Have not liked any of the MLB ideas for restarting so far.  Shoot for a 154 game season with lots of double headers.  Expand rosters to add arms.

Giants: The Giants are being diligent about interviewing the top prospects and one would presume all sorts of other players. The Giants remain sort of undressed because their drafting from 2010 through 2018 was horrific and one of the great players they took blew his hand apart, and the other was a total nut job, who could have been a superstar receiver. So Gettleman and Shurmur inherited close to nothing, and Jones at least has inherited a franchise QB and franchise RB, but some other good young talent to scheme around. That said, if they don't fix the OL with real Giant Type OL's - meaning Suebert Snee, Diehl, Kareem, Roberts, Jumbo, Pettigout type guys - and not reach for guys like Flowers anymore - they've got a great chance to get it done in the draft and they have to start with their first pick - hopefully after a trade down.

Btw, Fox is re-running SB 42 at 3pm EST.

Rangers: The Rangers haven't signed anyone else. They still could. It's odd that they haven't signed Morgan Barron out of Cornell. Barron is big and has really good hands for a big guy,  The NHL doesn't seem to have any good plans. We'll see.

Knicks: The Knicks sort of patented the kind of futility of purpose that afflicted the Giants post SB 46, but the Knicks have been doing it since the 70's!  Or if you want to be generous, but ringless, you could count the Ewing Era as reasonably well managed. The Rose plans that have leaked out don't seem to be feasible. Let's see what happens. The NBA doesn't seem to have a good plan to re-open, either  Stern would have.

Alright, so there we are. Locked down and waiting for Super Bowl 42 and the NFL Draft to start. Stay safe. This too, will pass.
