New Meadowlands Stadium Favorite To Land 2014 Super Bowl

Arizona has dropped its bid to host its second Super Bowl at the Cardinals new University of Phoenix Stadium, opening the door for the Giants and Jets to host the Super Bowl in 2014.

New Meadowlands Stadium which will open this April for a college lacrosse tournament, before giving way to a Mexico vs. Ecuador soccer match in May, put in a bid to host Super Bowl XLVIII just before Super Bowl XLIV earlier this month.

Commissioner Roger Goodell was intrigued by the idea of having a world championship game in the elements. The Giants and Jets have no interest right now about putting a dome on the stadium because it would cost too much, so right now Super Bowl XLVIII looks like it could be the first super bowl in snow!!

The host city for Super Bowl XLVIII will be announced in May. Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, and Dolphin Stadium in Miami are the other bidders. Those two cities just hosted the Super Bowl in the last year.

New Meadowlands Stadium will have plenty of attractions for fans. There will be interactive game and events outside the stadium on game days, and Xanadu will feature Lego Land, 17 movie theaters, a bowling ally and a shopping mall. Not to mention that the stadium is eight miles from Manhattan.

I'm adding you right after I type this. I like this blog a lot. I hate using the term 'a lot' because I never know if it's one or two words, but that is the best way for me to say it. I could go off on a stream of multiple syllable words to better describe it, but right now, I'm at a loss for words. When I first started my blog, I had envisioned something similar. All inclusive of all New York sports. I have been on a tear lately to write Mets stuff, because of baseball and let's face it, the Yankees don't talk, so they're boring right now. No hockey, the Knicks still are struggling. The Mets are the biggest story providers right now. I wrote several stories and now am having to focus more on them now than the Yankees. I'm hoping to go back and forth. I was offered a staff writer position on a Mets blog. So, I can use my blog as a break from the Mets, I suppose. Your site is fantastic and informative. I only hope to be as good, as I get more involved. Thank you for your time and the link on your site to mine. Please stay in touch. -Frank

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

 The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now!  The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season.    Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East.  The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers.  If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
