So the media got to interrogate the various members of the Knicks organization on Monday, from general manager Glen Grunwald to head coach Mike Woodson to new Spanish point guard Pablo Prigioni. Here were some of the topics and my take.
The Yankees couldn't have asked for a softer season-ending opponent. The Red Sox are simply awful, and they have been playing out the string since early August. Last season's fried chicken and beer collapse has never ended.
This Mets team is not as far away from contention as most think they are, but this is a huge offseason because Alderson must improve this team without sacrificing the payroll flexibility he will possess in 2014.
Many will be enticed by R.A. Dickey's unique story and age, but he's just one of many candidates who could take home the National League Cy Young.
Left-handed pitcher Manny Banuelos, rated the Yankees' preseason No. 1 prospect according to Baseball America, will have Tommy John surgery on October 4, general manager Brian Cashman confirmed to The Trentonian on Tuesday.
"Are jobs riding on this? Not that I know of," Steinbrenner told reporters outside the Yankees' clubhouse on Monday. "Jobs are not riding on this. We'll look at everything in the offseason, as we always do."
What's a bigger surprise through the first four weeks of this NFL season: the Cardinals at 4-0 or the Saints at 0-4? Maybe it's the 3-1 Vikings.
The Jets and Giants are like apples and oranges, cats and dogs -- green and blue. But Jets center Nick Mangold and Giants safety Antrel Rolle found some common ground Tuesday morning: Mark Sanchez.
"I think we have a chance to win the whole thing this year," said guard Joe Johnson. "I'm not just saying it. I honestly believe it."
Ivan Nova has been dropped from the Yankees' rotation after a pair of poor outings, and David Phelps will replace him as Tuesday night's starter against the Red Sox.
It seems there's a truce in the NFL's most bitter -- and oftentimes juvenile -- feud.
This is what makes the Yanks so interesting: no one truly knows which team will appear on the field this weekend. Or for Friday's wild card game. Or for a 163rd game in Baltimore.
Getting off to an 0-2 start in the NFC East isn't causing the Super Bowl-champion Giants to hit the panic button. Far from it.
While the Jets are standing by Mark Sanchez right now, perhaps their biggest potential playmaker - Tim Tebow - is mostly just standing by.
Rick Majerus' presence will be missed this season. His concepts though, will still be in place.
