What has happened in recent times to the so-called "home of champions"? Well, at least according to YES, easily one of the least biased networks on cable. But still, the Yankees, 200 million plus and .500. The Knicks, jeez. What did the massacre end at, 35 games below even? And now the Giants, with, what some might call the most sagacious signing of the year in LaVar Arrington...Where have the champions gone?
Well, the Yankees, they've simply faded into corporate oblivion. Buying every single interesting (Ed. note: not necessarily good, but fascinating) player available on the market. Well, at least they could control themselves long enough to not bid on A.J. Burnett. He's had a fun go of it this year. One start after a DL stint, and now, another stint. Even better news, he's heading down to James Andrews. And everyone knows, there's only two reasons people visit Alabama: they are interested in screwing that hot cousin of theirs, or they have serious arm problems. Hopefully, AJ falls into the latter category. But, alas, the Yankees have been mired in mediocrity this season. Unable to win more than 3 games in a row all season, and that streak came against, you guessed it, the Kansas City (not-so) Royals. While I'm sure they'll come around, finish first and lose prior to the World Series, these last few seasons should leave you with a sour taste in your mouth if your a Yankees fan. You go to a game and you have to buy one of the programs for about 25 bucks so that you can actually identify the people on the field. I've heard that they're thinking about instituting the "name on the back of the jersey" idea so that fans won't have a hard time adjusting each season. I think I read that somewhere....
The Knicks had a poor season. Let's leave it at that, because, in the words of Steven. A. Smith., Quite Frankly they were horrible. And, I could spend months on it, maybe even years...Basically, I could write Larry Brown decides he made a terrible decision, bows out ungracefully, and decides he new dream job is in Memphis, where he wins a championship in two years. Yes, Pau Gasol has shaved by this point and Shane Battier has finally been cut.
The Giants, after a good season (they won their division, but got crushed in the playoffs, but still) made one of the greatest signings I have seen in quite a while. LaVar Arrington, after long wait, is finally a member of the New York Football Giants of New Jersey. The deal is for 7 years, at an estimated total of 49 million. Which seems to make sense. I spoke with John Clayton and he had this to say regarding Arrington's production and his new contract "Anytime you can give a guy more millions of dollars (49) than tackles (47) he made last season, thats a deal you have to make". Thanks, Johnny! A couple of other notes...Arrington is not only more injury prone than a Cubs pitcher in March, but he's not even good anymore. Well, not good enough to play LB more than 3rd down last season for the Redskins. He hasn't been good for 3 years now. 7 sacks and no INT's since 2002. Granted, he was good then, but then again, so was Ryan Klesko. What? I thought so.
So, it figures that a New York team overpaid for a player that clearly isn't very good. But hey, that's New York. Pride, power, Pinstripes. Looking back, looking forward. Or, to borrow a phrase from our pals at TJ Max, Getting the Minimum for the Max.

You hit it right on the head with LaVar Arrington. Just an awful signing. You are gonna tell me that if Arrington was a 50 million dollar caliber performer last year, Joe Gibbs and/or Daniel Snyder and/or Gregg Williams would let him rot on the bench? The guy's not a great football player. He's got the reputation, but that's about it.
