The New York Jets hired Mike Maccagnan as General Manager (01/13/15) and Todd Bowles as Head Coach (01/14/15). Maccagnan, the only candidate brought back for a second interview, brings expertise in scouting and personnel. This is a huge step forward as the Jets have hired GMs with salary cap experience only in the recent past. New head coach Todd Bowles is the former defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals. Bowles was the Jets defensive backs coach back in 2000, hired by then GM Bill Parcells. Each will report directly to owner Woody Johnson as opposed to the normal head coach to GM to owner structure. I feel good about the hires and looking forward to the future.

Thoughts on 2014 Super Bowl XLVIII
This game promises to be a good one with Seattle’s terrific defense playing Denver’s equally terrific offense. Weather conditions are a complete non-factor with kickoff temps predicted to be in the low 40s.
Denver will win the game if:
Seattle will win the game if:
The New York Jets were able to beat Peyton Manning by not showing their hands too early on defense. Their defense did not shift until 8 seconds remained on the play clock. If it becomes a shootout in the second half Denver will hoist the Vince Lomardi Trophy. This game may come down to the final possession and I’m all for that. Enjoy the game!
Denver will win the game if:
- QB Peyton Manning has time to step-up and throw the ball. By using a combination of crossing patterns and bunching receivers, Manning finds the open man
- Defense stacks the box and slows down Seattle’s stud RB Marshawn Lynch
- Receivers and running backs get separation off the line
- RB Knowshon Moreno rushes for 90+ yards on 18 or more carries
- WR Wes Welker eclipses 100+ yards on 9 or more receptions or TE Julius Thomas has an 80-yard day on 6 or more receptions
- Defense contains Seattle QB Russell Wilson and keeps him from converting 3rd downs using his legs
Seattle will win the game if:
- Defense chucks the Denver receivers at the line and disrupts their timing and rhythm
- They hit Manning early and often
- Lynch rushes for 100+ yards on 25 or more carries. It will be Marshawn all day
- Defense must not commit too early to their coverages and blitzes
- Account for Wes Welker and minimize his yards after the catch (YAC)
- Contain Thomas at all costs
The New York Jets were able to beat Peyton Manning by not showing their hands too early on defense. Their defense did not shift until 8 seconds remained on the play clock. If it becomes a shootout in the second half Denver will hoist the Vince Lomardi Trophy. This game may come down to the final possession and I’m all for that. Enjoy the game!

I’d Like to Wish a Happy St. Patrick’s Day to One and All!
I’d like to wish a Happy St. Patrick’s Day to one and all. Just to get you in the spirit here are a few songs from the Dropkick Murphys and the Wolfe Tones. I remember the Wolfe Tones playing in my backyard 40 years ago! I kicked my Gaelic football around the yard with Derek Warfield. When they would play in Brooklyn they’d call my house looking for my Dad so they could come over and hang out for a few hours to get “tuned up” for the concert. One year my Brother was playing the Wolfe Tones on his boombox and one of the members of the band called on the phone, looking for my Dad! My Wife and I were in Manhattan very early this morning for the NYC Half Marathon as I volunteer for both marathons.

Yankees Dominated Mets in 2012 Subway Series Taking 5-of-6
In the 2012 Subway Series the New York Mets lost 5-of-6 games at the hands of their crosstown rivals, the New York Yankees. With high hopes my Wife and I went with two friends to see the Mets host the Yankees at Citi Field last Saturday. We took the Seastreak from the Atlantic Highlands, NJ and really enjoyed the 80 minute ride to Citi Field. It was great seeing my old Brooklyn neighborhood from the ferry. We were hoping for a win Saturday after the Mets took Game One on Friday 6-4. In Game Two the Mets were cruising and were shutting out the Yankees for 6 innings and held a 3-0 lead. Terry Collins wanted Met starter Chris Young to pitch through the 7th but that’s where the wheels fell off. Young gave up a walk to Teixeira, a run-scoring double to Swisher then a two-run home run to Ibanez. The shutout was gone and the Yankees tied the game 3-3. Jon Rausch was brought in and promptly game up a solo homer to pinch hitter Chavez. The Yankees won the game 4-3. While sitting in Section 503 it was quite a painful loss to endure. The Mets had their chances, leaving 11 men-on-base with the majority in scoring position. The Yankees took Game 3 by the score of 6-5 that featured less than stellar starting pitching from Sabathia and Dickey. There’s always next year but the local clubs will only play each other four times next season. I like the current format of two 3-game series and wish MLB would keep is this way.

My Wife and I are looking forward to the parade today in NYC with Cousins. We’re then heading to our other Cousin’s house for his party this afternoon. Good times will be had by all. I can’t wait to see my Dad’s old band, the NYPD Emerald Society Pipes & Drums and my high school band as well.
