A lot going on in the Big Apple....
The Mets are all of a sudden road warriors, the Yankees continue to dominate at home, Darrelle Revis may not be who we thought he was, and the Nets have a new coach. Oh yea, and apparently Lebron James is bigger than New York City. Yuck….
I have a lot on my mind, and it’s time to rant!

The Jets and Giants are one big happy family
On Tuesday, the NFL officials voted to host the 2014 Super Bowl at the brand new Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Earlier this month, representatives from both the Jets and Giants, including Mark Sanchez and Eli Manning, presented their case to the league. After the three potential hosts presented their piece again, and after four rounds of voting, the Jets and Giants eventually beat out the Bucs and Dolphins for the right to host the biggest spectacle in American sports.

Two 2nd round draft picks?? PEANUTS!
ESPN is reporting that Brandon Marshall has agreed to a four year, $47.5 million dollar contract with the Miami Dolphins. This will make Marshall the highest paid wide receiver in NFL history.
The Dolphins who traded for the problematic wide out for two 2nd round draft picks in 2010 and 2011, will finally have the deep threat to combat their rival Jets who just scooped up Santonio Holmes yesterday.

Hakeem Nicks will lead Big Blue back to the promise land
Yes, we are 6 months away from football however, it is being reported that the right to host the first game at the New Meadowlands, Giants Stadium, Xanadu, whatever, belongs to…..THE NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS! The Giants will host Sunday afternoon and the Jets will have Monday Night Football. Fair enough I guess.
Witnesses of the ceremonial coin toss were The Mara’s, The Johnson’s, Gov. Patterson, Giants Girl, Fireman Ed and the Miller High Life guy. LOL

I’m not trying to do my best Mel Kiper impression here, but it isn’t hard to notice the overwhelming amount of defensive talent entering the NFL in 2010. Of the Top 25 prosects, 17 play defensive positions, of the Top 50, 33 play defensive positions. It’s not just the quantity of defensive prospects that makes this draft so defensively lopsided, it’s also the quality of the prospects. Read the rest of this entry ?

Darrelle Revis deserves Defensive Player of the Year
Escaping Revis Island in 2009 has been a daunting task for opposing wide receivers.
“I went back and looked and I was going to be subtle about this, but if Revis is not the NFL Defensive Player of the Year, something is wrong with the system,” Rex Ryan said. “Nobody, and I mean nobody, in maybe the history of the game has had the challenges that he’s faced week in and week out.”
Darrelle Revis, who has six interceptions and an NFL-leading 36 passes defended in his third season, has routinely shut down opposing teams’ top receivers such as New England’s Randy Moss, Buffalo’s Terrell Owens, Carolina’s Steve Smith and Houston’s Andre Johnson. Even in what Revis described as his worst game of the season, he held Reggie Wayne to two catches for 21 yards when the Colts starters were in the game.
