New York Sports and RhymesThe Rhythm and Flow of Dominant PitchingOnce a pitcher is locked in, his teammates follow suit, especially on defense. The game of baseball becomes rhythmic. Both teams pick up their pace of play and the game moves with little disturbance. The margin for error is far less since a start can be for naught if one mistake is made.2019-05-0302 min
New York Sports and RhymesStay in Your Lane - 2019 NFL DraftMost NFL analysts lack originality. They love to hate specific players and they’re often wrong. Unless you’re a GM or a college scout, no one has any idea how to draft NFL talent. It makes me enamored with Dave G’s unconventional wit and gitty for him to get busy with today’s late round picks.2019-04-2702 min

New York Sports and RhymesRobert Kraft – Putting Matters Into PerspectiveNew England Patriots owner, Robert Kraft, is facing two counts of soliciting a prostitute at a massage parlor in Jupiter, Florida. To get the record straight, Mr. Kraft isn’t involved in a prostitution ring. He would attend this massage parlor frequently, where he’d receive a happy ending. For a man with 6 large Super Bowl rings, one could see why he’d seek out assistance. Is this the definition of good decision-making, not at all?

New York Sports and RhymesBuyer Beware at Pick 17Duke Football and the NFL, that’s an oxymoron, maybe cognitive dissonance, right? I would urge the Giants to think twice at pick 17, and eventually pass on a Quarterback. Unless the Giants select Dwayne Haskins or Josh Rosen, I will consider this franchise changing draft an ultimate success if a QB isn’t chosen. In Dave Gettleman I trust. In Daniel Jones, I don’t. Rather, I puke. May pick 6 or 17 not be a player from Duke.2019-04-2502 min

New York Sports and RhymesJoe Mauer - Coward Over Power Joe Mauer is largely viewed as the Midwest’s Derek Jeter. Instead, I see a coward, who sought out a needle as a way to increase his power. Mauer’s 2009 magic trick will ultimately result in an asterisk. There is a Hall of Fame spot waiting for a catcher in Cooperstown. That catcher is Pete Rose. It’s a bet I’d take any day of the week. He’s much less of a cheat. #Joemauer, #MLB, #Steroids, #MVP, #Needle #Juice #MauernotPower #Contact #Purehitter #Contractbasedofffakepowernotcontact #23milliondollarman #Minnesota #Twins #WallofShame #LilWayne #IceCube #Sports #Rap #NewYorkSportsandRhymes2019-02-2102 min

While Bradley Cooper will win a slew of Oscars for a Star is Born, Saquon Barkley proved a Star Is Born and Alive, winning the 2018 NFL Rookie of the Year. Unlike Darnold, Rosen, and Allen, Haskins won’t be thrown into the fire right away, he’ll be able to learn under Eli Manning. This approach is most effective and recently worked for some kid in Kansas City named Patrick Mahomes. Furthermore, Saquon, Odell and other offensive playmakers will make Haskins transition to the NFL way smoother. So, did the Giants make the right pick in the 2018 NFL Draf...2019-02-0604 min
