This NBA season has great potential for the New York Knicks. But, remember: patience, patience, patience. Well, that is the secret. 

Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging 23 points and 13 boards per game. Offensively he has been really good.

Do you want to know the concerns? The Knicks have severely regressed defensively. Opponents are shooting nearly 72% at the rim. The Knicks are allowing opponents to shoot over 48% from the floor, which ranks the Knicks 26th in the league. They are averaging under 4 blocks per game.

Team defense, rebounding and rim protection are glaring needs to go along with the fact that their bench is woefully thin.

The other issue is head coach Tom Thibodeau. He has done a great job coaching this team since getting the job. He asks a lot of his players, no question. Towns, Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Bridges and OG Anunoby will be given time. They are more balanced on offense. They will gel and improve as the season goes along.

The question though, does this team’s strengths match that of the head coach? 

Gerrit Cole will remain with the New York Yankees rather than become a free agent. The Yankees and the pitching star have agreed to stay together.

Cole had opted out of his original nine-year, $324 million contract signed before the 2020 season, but the Yankees could have voided that opt-out by adding an additional year at $36 million.

Instead of that happening, though, Cole is returning to the Yankees on the four years and $144 million that was left on his original deal, per multiple reports.

The GM indicated they were glad to have the ace back, and there were no active extension discussions as of right now. It is expected that there could be extension talks as the offseason moves forward. In essence, this move erases the fact that Cole ever opted out in the first place.

Had the Yankees added the extra year, Cole’s new deal would have been for five years and $180 million, taking him through the 2029 season.

Keeping Cole gives the Yankees certainty atop their rotation, with Cole, Carlos Rodon, Clarke Schmidt, and Luis Gil expected to headline it in 2025.

The Indianapolis Colts got a four-yard touchdown run by QB Anthony Richardson in the final minute on Sunday at MetLife Stadium to pick up a 28-27 win over the New York Jets.

The loss dropped Aaron Rodgers and the lowly Jets to 3-8. All New York needs to have a season with a better than .500 record is to win all of its next six games.

Colts QB Richardson finished the day completing 20 of 30 pass attempts for 272 yards with a touchdown. He added 32 yards and two scores on the ground.

The Jets’ last drive pretty much sums up the Rodgers experience:

Rodgers was sacked and fumbled on the first play, but the Jets recovered. After Breece Hall had an 11-yard catch and a delay-of-game penalty was called on the Colts’ E.J. Speed, Rodgers was sacked again — sealing the win for the Colts (5-6), who snapped a three-game skid.

Rodgers finished the day completing 22 of 29 passes for 184 yards with two touchdowns and no turnovers. Hall tallied 121 yards and two touchdowns from scrimmage. Davante Adams led New York with six catches for 72 yards, while Garrett Wilson totaled 18 yards on four catches.

The Arizona Cardinals defeated the New York Jets, 31-6 in Week 10 of NFL action. 

The momentum the Jets captured in the second half of their 21-13 victory over the Texans in Week 9 never carried over for interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich’s group in Arizona. 

The NFC West-leading Cardinals stayed red hot with their fourth consecutive win and moved to 6-4.The Jets defense was nonexistent all day long, missing tackles all game long. The Jets fell to 3-7.

Cardinals’ QB Kyler Murray played a near perfect game and set a franchise record with 17 straight completions against a defense that looked like it didn’t even make the trip out to the desert.

Aaron Rodgers and the Jets moved the ball, but they couldn’t finish and were held to two field goals despite having four possessions inside the Arizona 28. Rodgers, finished 22 of 35 for 151 yards, and the offense were kept out of the end zone.

The Carolina Panthers recovered a fumble on the first play of overtime, then kicked a field to beat the New York Giants 20-17 Sunday in Munich, Germany.

The game was a sluggish matchup between two 2-7 teams who struggled to move the ball downfield.

The Panthers quarterback Bryce Young threw to tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders for a touchdown. Carolina added a field goal. The Giants got into the red zone late in the second half, but Daniel Jones threw a costly pick.

The Giants opened the final frame with Jones running 2 yards into the end zone. New York recovered a Carolina fumble to get the ball back with eight minutes remaining in the game, however, Jones threw another interception.

With 10 seconds left, Gano made a field goal to tie things up at 17 and send the game to overtime.

Carolina forced a fumble and recovered the ball on the Giants’ first play of the extra session. All Carolina needed was a field goal, and the Panthers got it, with Eddy Pineiro nailing a 36-yard kick and ending the game. The Panthers won, 20-17 and move to 3-7 on the season.

The New York Giants entered their Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders in hopes of snapping their three-game losing streak. Instead, they fell behind by 14 by the half and although the Giants fought back a few times to make it a one-possession game, the Commanders had control of the game throughout.

The defense struggled to slow down the Washington offense, forcing just two punts on the day, and continued to have trouble stopping the run.

Daniel Jones had a good day passing for two touchdowns and adding an impressive rushing touchdown as well. However, he did have a turnover that led to a Washington touchdown in the first half.

The loss drops the Giants to 2-7 on the season with eight games remaining.

Jayden Daniels didn’t need to throw a Hail Mary on the final play — or do anything spectacular, really, to lead his Washington Commanders past the bumbling New York Giants.

The sensational rookie made plays with his arm and legs and got a solid supporting effort from his defense as the Commanders again showed the rest of the NFL they’re for real. Washington moved to 7-2 for the first time since 1996.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have clinched the fall classic, beating the New York Yankees 7-6 in Game 5 to win Major League Baseball’s 2024 World Series.

The victory notched from a five-run deficit earlier in the game at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night marks the eighth World Series win in Dodgers’ franchise history. 

The contest this time around was made for high TV ratings, marking only the fifth time in more than a half-century that the Dodgers and Yankees have faced off for the world championship since the Dodgers relocated from Brooklyn to the West Coast in 1958.

Fireworks erupted across Los Angeles in celebration of the home town team’s triumph. The 2024 Dodgers proved to be a team full of fan favorites, from slugger Freddie Freeman who logged no less than four home runs during the series to superstar recruit Shohei Ohtani to Mookie Betts and pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Jack Flaherty and Walker Buehler.

The New York Giants and primetime football simply don’t mix and that trend stayed true on Monday night as Big Blue fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 26-18, in a game they arguably could have won.

Penalties and poor officiating will be a topic of conversation throughout the week but may be overshadowed by what appears to be growing frustration between head coach Brian Daboll and quarterback Daniel Jones. 

With the loss, the Giants fall to 2-6 and their season is all but over. Again.

The Pittsburgh Steelers made it three wins in a row with Calvin Austin scoring two touchdowns. The 25-year-old wide receiver scored the Steelers’ first punt return touchdown in nearly five years during the third quarter.

The victory was tied up in the fourth quarter when quarterback Russell Wilson found Austin with his signature ‘moon ball’ throw.

Rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr got the Giants back in it with a 45-yard touchdown, but Steelers cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr sealed the win by intercepting on the Giants’ final drive.

One week after being called “soft” by their head coach, the New England Patriots let their play do the talking.

The Patriots earned a hard-fought 25-22 victory over the New York Jets in Sunday’s Week 8 matchup. 

Running back Rhamondre Stevenson scored the game-winning touchdown with 22 seconds left to cap off an impressive Jacoby Brissett-led drive. Brissett replaced starting quarterback Drake Maye after the rookie exited in the second quarter with a concussion.

It was far from a perfect day for Jerod Mayo’s group. New England’s wide receivers tallied seven drops, but second-year wideout Kayshon Boutte stepped up when it mattered most with two huge plays to set up Stevenson’s game-winner.

Jets QB Rodgers completed 17 of 28 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns, hitting Garrett Wilson five times for 113 yards. Breece Hall ran for 80 yards on 16 carries, and Braelon Allen scored on a 2-yard run.
