Gase on Fired Rumors "News to Me"

Jets head coach Adam Gase poured cold water on the unsubstantiated rumors that were started this week by WFAN's Craig Carton that he was informed by ownership that he was being fired. 

"That was news to me. No one has said that to me," Gase told reporters when he was asked about the story.

Many have expected for weeks that Gase, who is 9-22 as head coach of the Jets that he will be let go at the end of the season.  Speculation has been running rampent all season, and up to this point Gase remains the HC of the NYJ. 

This week the rumormill has ratcheted up. On Saturday Jason LaConfora of CBS Tweeted out that Gase could have been fired had the Jets lost to Cleveland last weekend. The Jets won, and Gase is still here. 

Then on Monday some website called uStadium issued an uncorroborated story that Gase would be fired after Week 17. That was followed up Tuesday by Carton, who claimed he had a source that informed him Gase was told his days in New York were numbered. Carton never named his source at the time. 

It's that time of the year where wild stories abound. Heck there is even rumors that Bill Belichick's compliments of Gase could mean he will bring Gase aboard as a quarterback's coach next year. Not likely, but even that is out. It's the silly season. There are a lot of rumors -- many of them will be cleared up in the coming days.

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.
