About Last Night: Rangers 1, Flames 0

No Nash. No Lundqvist. No Problem. Calgary is no slouch and a 1-0 victory against a good team is just what the doctor ordered. They not only keep pace with the Islanders (also victorious last night) but finally show that they don’t have to score 5 goals each night to win. So here’s the...

ALERT! Combine fever threatens to infect us all! Vigilance is your first and best defense, so keep a keen watch for the signs.

Hindsight is 20-20(14): The Dallas Cowboys' Season in Review

Nobody expected much out of the Dallas Cowboys in 2014. Mind you, that's not a set up for paragraph upon paragraph of I-told-you-sos; my prediction for Dallas coming into the year, as seasoned listeners of Third and Long may recall, was a less-than-rosy six wins. Rather, it's an indication of the way...

Perfect Time for the Spotlight in New York to be on Hockey…For Good?

Let’s be honest Rangers fans, no one wants the Islanders to go well. I am no exception to this strain of the thought, but however they are and Rangers fans can’t ignore that anymore. However, with this resurgence in the rivalry it can only mean good things for hockey in the soon to be shared Big Apple. Hear...

About Last Night – Rangers 6, Islanders 5

Rangers 6, Islanders 5 Holy. Shit. This was a wildly entertaining game and if you missed it, I’m sorry. Normally 6-5 is a poor game with bad defense and goaltending but this was simply just a showcase of 2 very talented teams who didn’t give up. If this ends up being a playoff series, Jesus take...

What's Wrong With Youth Hockey?

For me, there’s nothing better in the world than going outside and playing hockey on a pond or an outdoor rink. However, through my own observations on the youth of the country, or as a whole are not following in this trend. Now, at the risk of sounding like an old-timer at the age of 23,...

Antique Hunt: Lower-Tier Running Back Prospects in the 2015 NFL Draft

Clinton Portis. Edgerrin James. LaDanian Tomlinson. One often thinks of these men as relics of an epoch long passed, the last of the true feature backs. Yet, we saw them play not more than ten years ago, putting clown suits on safeties and linebackers hoping to make a play, so how is it that we now...

Trade Deadline Moves

Usually around February, your team is gonna realize they’re either buyers or sellers. At this point there’s no secret that the New York Rangers are buyers, as they often are. The way I see it, the Rangers need to make one of three moves in order to return to the postseason and contend for a Cup. 1....

Why The Rangers: Dennis Edition

When I was younger, I knew I was a little different from the rest of my class because they didn’t really care for hockey. While most talked about Derek Jeter and Sammy Sosa, I tried to find anyone who knew anything about Paul Kariya or Adam Graves. As time went on, I found that hockey is a cult...

“Why the Rangers”

I’m not going to sit here and brag about the 1994 Rangers and how I remember and it’s great they’ve won a Cup in my lifetime and what not. I suppose technically yes but no. I was 6 years old in 1994 and didn’t really have a clue about hockey let alone the Rangers. It doesn’t count in my opinion. I’m still waiting. I believe it wasn’t until around the year 2000 or 2001, after Wayne Gretzky retired...

The "It's Only Been One Week Without Football But I Can't Wait Any Longer" 2015 Fantasy Football Rankings

Monday, February 9th, 2015. It's officially been over 168 hours since the Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks has ended.

2015 NFL Mock Draft version 0.5

Oh boy, a mock draft, how original and specific! Be still my beating heart. This is a very rough, prototypical mock of the 2015 NFL Draft's first round. I tried to stay true to how most teams tend to draft, gave credence to both need and best-player-available (BPA) mindsets, and even threw in a little...
