Monday Musings

A funny thing happened over the last couple of weeks.

All of a sudden the Giants got really good.

It's like god is looking after Sip. While he knows that nothing in sports will make me forget the Mets, at least he is trying to bandage the wound as best as he can.

For that god, thank you.

But in all seriousness, what is brewing out of the Meadowlands really could be pretty special. The Giants have won their last 4 games with almost too much ease.

A 19-3 doozy against the Redskins.

Two very impressive road victories against the Cowboys and Falcons. (Oh by the way, did you see what the Cowboys did last night?)

And finally, Sunday's sleeper against the Bucs, fresh off of consecutive wins against the Eagles and Bengals.

Maybe it is my old age or maybe it was the California air, but for some reason, like with the New Mets, my outlook on the Giants is all of a sudden insanely positive.

I never root for good teams. Even when they are good they suck. Or at least that is how I viewed sports in years 1-23.

But have you guys seen the Giants of late?

This team has what may be the most balanced offense in football. They've been running all over the place against some very solid defenses to the point that whenever Tiki Barber touches the ball it looks like we are getting 5 yards.

Then, send in the big boy and there are no more fumbles. Just angry yards from a big angry dude.

An improving secondary and a pass rush that looks like it is playing up to form and who knows.

Hopefully next week vs Houston gets us ready for Sunday night when the New Bears come to town.

Sip vs. Jawn

KFC vs. Zimmy

#1 vs. #2 in the NFC.

That game should be pretty fierce.

Then there is the other game I got burned on yesterday. Those pesky J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS!

I don't hate the Jets and I know so many Mets fans that love them. I guess you can say I "root" for them.

From there, you can say one thing. Those dudes got hosed.

Mike Carey -- far and away my favorite official in the game, with his ultra deliberate penalty calls and clear explanations -- really shanked on this one.

No reason why that last play isn't a TD. And if the rule says you can't review it otherwise, then call it a TD knowing that it can then be overturned.

To all you guys, I am sorry.

But when there is nothing to talk about with the Mets, as many of you may know, my favorite thing to do is laugh about the Knicks.

On Monday, the Knicks continued their financial circus. They remain a bigger fraud to their fans than Ken Lay was to this country.

On Monday, the Knicks took their knife and stabbed it into my chest. On Monday they denied my dream.

I dreamt of a starting lineup featuring Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis and Jalen Rose.

One shot per possesion being fought over by three worthy stars.

Three guys shooting in the high 30's low 40's.

Maybe the three worst guys to have on your team for what they are paid and what they are looking to get. And they could have all been on the court at the same time.

This is a possibility no more.

ESPN is reporting that the Knicks and Arn Tellem, Rose's rep, are working out the terms for a buyout.

Yet another one of Isiah Thomas' brilliant moves comes up just short.

And it saddens me. I really was looking forward to two hours of comedy. The first sports team to ever really offer that.

Now the laughs may be reduced to heavy chuckle.

Jalen, RIP.

Later in the week, my celebrity friend and E News correspondent, we'll call him B Rhymes, will be joining Y2K as our weekly Knicks columnist.

B Rhymes, a little too good of a guy, still thinks the Knicks have a shot. So at least his words will be nice and positive.

As for the Sip, I got an NBA preview coming out throughout the course of the week, AFOMG will bring you something smart, orange and blue, and Cheddar, between freestyle battles will take some time to wax you with that ill mathematical.

As for the rest of you, if any of you are interested in writing at Y2K, we might be able to do something about that.

If you see some cool stuff to post or anything else, send it our way.

Right now, shoot it sippymomo@gmail.com. No promises what you send will run, but it could happen.

But coming soon, things are only going to improve. Yankees2000.com will be coming sometime before the new year and from there, well hopefully some more good things.

Vaya con dios.
