Nothing has changed. It's still September and the #Jets season, for all practical purposes, is over. Who cares what happens from here on out? Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

Some #NJDevils nuggets as the countdown to the #NHL regular season opener hits 10 days. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

The #Yankees have a harder road to return to the World Series. Fortunately, their hot close to the season, despite the lesser competition, showed the path to get there. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

One season isn't enough time to make any call on Glenn's HC aptitude, never mind a mere three games. But, with the #Jets facing a must-win game on Monday night, is it too much to ask if we can see him add some substance to his styling? Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

Before the #Nets embark on Tank 2.0, here are 3 things to watch this preseason. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

After three straight losses to open his career as a HC, Glenn invoked the familiar #Jets cliche. Despite his denials, he's living it. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

Besides staying healthy, here are 3 things to watch during #NJDevils training camp. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

The #Jets WR2 blank slate was a problematic issue fans could pinpoint coming at them from a mile away. A look at its effect in new post at: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

Where once Brooklyn was renowned as a place where young and/or disregarded players could develop into valuable contributors, the recent record doesn't quite match the reputation. This season is an opportunity for the #Nets to reclaim that mantle. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

#NFL field goals are becoming the equivalent of #NBA free throws. No one goes to a game to see a parade of either. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

I think the 23 are almost set. The line combos will be hashed out during the preseason. D pairs will be same as last year (with Nemec a fill-on for Kovacevic). Wish they traded Daws before losing him for nothing on waivers.

Those who thought that the #Jets entertaining opener was a sign that the team was ready to take flight were, at best, premature. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

It was fairly easy for Glenn to play the accountability card with Gipson when alternatives were on his radar. The #Jets may soon face a similar situation, except the solution isn’t so readily apparent. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

Some musings on one of the #NJDevils prospects taking the ice this weekend and the off-ice chatter surrounding the Hughes brothers. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

The #Jets offensive production was quite the pleasant surprise, but let’s hold the applause until this team shows the ability and discipline to finish games. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

#Jets preview: Rodgers will be the lead story during Sunday's opener, but the Steelers D poses the bigger challenge. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

The Nets had to give the QO to retain his restricted rights. They could have the offered a 1-year (or 1 plus a player option) at an amount over the midlevel exception.

Though Thomas technically got a new contract for “market value”, it’s hard to say that what the #Nets did was fair to him. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

This is getting old: For the 3rd time in 5 offseasons, the #NJDevils & GM Fitzgerald are facing a difficult RFA negotiation. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

Say it! Say it!

The #NFL is back! For #Jets fans, the excitement is less palpable. Again. Some predictions in a new post at: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

The #Jets preseason is mercifully over. New post on how the finale affected the upcoming 53-man roster decisions. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

The reporter who went at Glenn on Monday by stating that the NFL is a passing league was merely imprecise. It’s a quarterback’s league. And Fields will at some points have to produce explosive plays with his arm for the #Jets to fly. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

Inaccuracy isn't the only issue that has held back the athletically gifted Fields' development. New post on a metric that will be telling as to where the #Jets will land this season. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

One of the most prominent anti-tank devices from last season was the #Nets players’ unexpected buy-in to Fernandez. In Year 2, the HC could be facing a Catch-22. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

Preseason football is often a brutal watch, but if you must, here are 3 #Jets for whom these games are pivotal for their career prospects. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

The #Yankees acted as if they were sighing in relief after ending their 5-game skid last night. If there is even a shred of accountability remaining in the House of Steinbrenner, this Boone-doggle should be done come October, if not sooner. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

As the #Nets finalize their training camp list, here's a look at the current candidates vying to earn the limited available roster slots. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

Even if you give them a mulligan for their ghastly first impressions from Friday night's implosion in Miami, the new #Yankees relievers come aboard with questions about their reliability for October. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

According to one analysis, the #Yankees should have about 8 more wins based on their run differential. New post on why the numbers are misleading. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

Two meaningless Summer League games aren't nearly enough of a sample to draw conclusions on anyone's future. But for the #Nets #nbadraft2025 class, this was their only opportunity to make a first impression. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

#Nets fans are curious about the team's 5 1st round picks. At the same time, #NBASummerLeague results are typically irrelevant. Instead, here's a few things to focus on when they take the court for the first time this week. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

Fitzgerald never had a realistic chance to address the #NJDevils most pressing need in free agency. Now he'll have to pivot to Plan B--and it won't be easy. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...

#NJDevils GM Fitzgerald has work to do this offseason to bolster his club enough to make a legitimate playoff run. The goaltending, for a change, isn't one of those pressing items. Link: open.substack.com/pub/stevelic...
