Ryan Fitzpatrick played 17 seasons in the NFL, mostly as a back-up quarterback.

And, for every shortcoming Fitzpatrick had as a field general, he made up for as an entertainer.

The Hudson River has been through a lot over the past few hundred years. It's no secret that the main culprit for river's near-death experience had been businesses dumping hazardous waste into the historic waterway.

The first time that I went to Montauk in October and saw a football field of striped bass, jumping out like frenzying piranhas, to eat bait fish, I was hooked. To the fisherman, that is called a 'blitz.' For over 3 decades, the 'blitzes' of striped bass have kept me coming back.

Over the past two and half decades, John Mayer has become on of the music industries' top performers.

The New York Mets have had more than their fair share of dysfunctional general managers throughout the years.

Many NBA experts predict that New York Knicks will go as far in the playoffs, as their up-and-down forward, Julius Randle will take them. If Randle is less than 100% (physically or mentally), New York has little chance of winning a title.

Zach Wilson does not have to lead the New York Jets to victory on Sunday afternoon against the defending NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles to have a successful game. Wilson just can't be the obvious reason that Gang Green loses.
