New York, New York

I thought New York was supposed to be the center of the universe in all aspects of life. One thing that it most definitely is not right now, is the center of the sports universe. For a metropolitan area that prides itself on having great fans and overwhelming support for its sports franchises, the teams are not living up to their fans' expectations.
The king of all New York teams are the Yankees. For the third straight year, they have now exited in the first round of the playoffs. Sure, any other team would love to simply be in the playoffs for 13 straight years. Not the yanks. Championships are expected, not weeks sitting a home in October watching the hated Red Sox cruise to a championship. Major changes are sure to be underway in the next few months in the Bronx, with the same expectations of every year still being in the minds of the Bleacher Creatures next April.
The Jets lost again today. No surprise. The Giants are very mediocre and have relatively no chance of going far in the playoffs. Even when these two teams played each other last weak, it was a dreadful event to watch.
What has happened to this city. Are we really going to rely on Isaiah Thomas and the Knicks to bring this city back to life...?
I dont think so.
Go Devils.
