Developing players seems to vary depending on the recipe, but there is no doubt that the Islanders need theirs to be more than just a dash of project and a sprinkle of hope.
New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis has been selected to his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl, his third straight as a starter.
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul have been selected to play in the Pro Bowl. Second-year receiver Victor Cruz and guard Chris Snee were selected as second alternates for the game.
I tend to scratch my head when it comes to this notion that Rex Ryan can get his head handed to him by the pedestrian at best Giants and then come back two days later and start yapping again. It's almost buffoonery.
The list of great freshmen in the Big East is long and star-studded. Moe Harkless scored 32 points -- the most ever by a freshmen in his Big East debut -- and St. John's had its best offensive game of the season in a 91-67 victory over Providence.
After waiting as long as anyone to start season, the Atlanta Hawks combined athleticism, depth and a stingy defense to spoil the Nets' final home opener in New Jersey and to show everyone they will contend in this lockout-shortened season.
Not that the Giants' 'win and you're in' matchup with the Cowboys this week needed more extra hype, but Justin Tuck went and threw some fuel on the fire anyway.
High-expectations and comparisons to legendary offensive-defensmen are something that Michael Del Zotto's always dealt with. Now, he's writing his own legacy as a complete defenseman for the Rangers.

The Knicks are short-handed in the backcourt. Iman Shumpert could miss four weeks with a knee injury, Baron Davis might still be weeks away because of his bulging back disc and Mike Bibby missed the opener with a sore lower back.
Winning the Battle of New York gets you a spot in Joe's Top Ten. Doesn't it?
The calendar year of 2011 was kind to the Devils as they have posted an overall mark of 47-29-4 for 98 points with two games remaining in 2011. Only six NHL clubs have had better years, record-wise than New Jersey as 2011 comes to a close.
Ed Cooley still has a long ways to go in making Providence a Big East power but the first-year coach has done an admirable job with the Friars during the early portion of the season.
Owning the pessimism common to most journalists, this guy is saying the Jets wind up out of the postseason for the first time in the Buddy, er, Rex Ryan era. Here are three big reasons for that.
Rex Ryan knows only one way to play poker in the Big Apple: No Limit. But Rex has discovered that being a head coach in the NFL is a zero sum game, and that no verbal smokescreen can hide the final score.
