    Matthew Schaefer is a Typical New York Islander

    The New York Islanders have dealt with waves of leaders over the years that include John Taveras and Brock Nelson to name a couple.

    Matthew Schaefer is the consensus No.1 pick on the clock for the New York Islanders and isn’t it ironic that Long Island has a cool accent first of all.

    Secondly, the top college radio school in the country I attended for a period of time and die hard fans next to others in the northeast specific area of hockey.

    Nelson was a good soldier but the Islanders recently dealt him and figured he did not match to expectations. Nelson, much like Taveras, however, stood to carry the logs of this team and city together as one.

    Enter Matthew Schaefer who suffered a broken clavicle injury and series of mono in the fall. Is this the talented star but supposed risk and setback that comes with signing Schaefer and skilled talent aforementioned in New York?

    Schaefer might be one of the best defenseman to come out since Cale Makar but I do not believe that because he will have to work on more to be just the best for this wonderful sports entity that is the New York Islanders.

  • Are the Sixers Starting to Become a Complete Embarrassment?

    Are the Sixers Starting to Become a Complete Embarrassment?

    The Philadelphia 76ers are on the clock with Jared McCain representing the team at the 2025 NBA Draft lottery out of Duke. It would be interesting if the Sixers landed foreseeable No.1 pick Cooper Flagg but the odds are slim every year.

    The Sixers have become a complete embarrassment since Julius Erving last schooled the city on basketball education with Moses Malone. Not the assertive argument of practice by Allen Iverson who was a great Sixer himself.

    Pat Croce was a great supervisor in the Sixers efforts towards their last championship appearance against the Lakers but ever since. It has become a cesspool.

    Yesterday, Joshua Harris announced to the world he and the Washington Commanders will be hosting the 2027 NFL Draft but what is worse is that this team is being easily forgotten about compared to some of the best franchises in sports.

    Harris is a business mogul and he tried with several general managers such as Sam Hinkie, Bryan Colangelo, and Elton Brand but the time has come to question this city because there are rumors the prestige is sometimes on the line moving to Camden or Chinatown.

    Daryl Morey is the current general manager, the orthodox hero of claiming James Harden in his glory days and you best believe Philadelphia makes some noise because that is what they always do as the home of Independence Hall.

  • What Has Happened to MLB Network Recently

    What Has Happened to MLB Network Recently

    MLB Network started in 2010. Since then, it has succeeded with tremendous guests and entertaining segments.

    The Network has been a backbone of the Legacy Media for years but what is underlying recently is the shift of direction MLB has decided.

    It might be the month of May but MLB Network could be more engaging. Every year, it is and strives to deliver offseason content that entices the viewers even more with extravanga.

    The only caveat I have is the current employees. I cannot be more critical as Harold Reynolds, Greg Amsinger, Dan Pleasac and some have stayed. There are certainly some different graphics too but it is somewhat mesmerizing that MLB commissioner Rob Manfred is successful but the Network is a little stagnant especially with online media these days.

    I had the privilege to talk with former MLB Network personality Scott Braun and he did not provide comment to the difference of MLB Network and podcasting such as Foul Territory.

    MLB Network lost a valuable personality in Ken Rosenthal and people tend to read his article or news updates in the Athletic. There is a bit of a sloppy slope Manfred or MLB must view and address to refocus The Network.

  • What to Respect about the Legend of Lebron James

    What to Respect about the Legend of Lebron James

    Lebron James is the greatest of his generation. Between him and Jordan, it is a tough debate between competitive defense guarded on them. But Lebron is casted not in the light of currently Bronny James nor Bryce James.

    He was simply not coached right this postseason and it is okay because an exceptional young coach such as JJ Redick is permitted to cause mistakes in critical situations and learn. It just prepares to make him better knowing Lebron will return for predictably his 22nd NBA season and work with the X’s and O’s the Lakers tried to play.

    There are not too many younger coaches or phenomenons such as Lebron James to enter. James entered the league without a college degree without much to show meaning. He was destined, glorified to do great unbelievable things, respectfully so.

    This late season stretch was all about the team again. In the beginning, it was about Bronny James draft party and being introduced in front of the media with the Lakers 55th overall pick. Lebron called it his No.1 accomplishment and while I do not agree.

    It was certainly gratifying.

    When Lebron James struggled so mightily against the adversity of The Decision to leave Cleveland and join Miami for.a championship. James played, outwitted, and proved in his darkest and deepest moments. He could play in the biggest moments and stop his predecessors that included Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett.

    Ray Allen later joined Lebron James in Miami and hit one of the most historic shots in NBA Finals history with ABC/ESPN announcer Mike Breen on the call and did the courtesy for him, Dwyane Wade, and one of the integral Heat players ever to play for his system and Erik Spoelstra.

    Lebron James has always dealt with critics but the biggest component of his career is. He loves to win and chase championships whether it is with Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Wade, Bosh, Luka Doncic, Shane Battier, Anthony Davis, Mike Miller, Rui Hachimura, and my favorite JJ Hickson!

    Lebron has a decision to make soon and recently suffered a MCL sprain.

  • Aaron Rodgers to the Giants is Obvious by Now

    Aaron Rodgers to the Giants is Obvious by Now

    Aaron Rodgers has been hunting. Yes, whether it has been surfing waves, exploring nature, and seeking the market. It might be a foregone conclusion he retires possibly but that is not to say the New York Giants would be the best candidate to hunt forward and away from the disaster that was Woody Johnson’s team.

    We cannot even mention the team for reference here on Sports Kingdom because their playoff drought is that dreadful.

    The New York Giants are back! They drafted a quarterback out of Ole Miss. Not two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Eli Manning but Jaxson Dart. Dart will bring sure stability to competition this training camp.

    Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston were satisfying pickups but Rodgers would add on what would be to the collection and depth of one more interesting quarterback battles in quite sometime.

    Wilson is a Super Bowl winner compared to Rodgers and can definitively add pressure to Dart’s slate and contributions together.

    But do not wipe the slate. This would be a good case scenario to extend beyond training camp and have feasibly a four man quarterback depth chart that will catapult everyone to its abilities and responsiblity.

    Play like you are doing Jaxson Dart no favors. That is simply how a job is won and Rodgers would benefit easily in hopes of resurrecting his career with a team will work on establishing their offensive line this upcoming season.

  • Shedeur Sanders Mortified

    Shedeur Sanders Mortified

    Shedeur Sanders was ready to celebrate the after party of the Sanders Legendary cult 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders was great in college in the transition to Colorado and performing feeble at first. But hit a strong chord when his numbers improved for scouts to take a possible liking of him in the first round.

    Truth be told Sanders did not spark that fire he did in college on NFL Draft night 1. He failed to meet expectations and certainly made the worse of gestures, bling, family ties, and history that defined essence.

    Sanders grew up on this moment from social media highlights to clickbait and etc. I joke clickbait because sometimes that was his talent.Sanders talent was seen on camera flashing and posing but had something wise to say on social media if that is true.

    He said something along the lines of adversity and unlike Cam Ward who was nothing but nice and humble to begin his career in Tennessee. Sanders has a lot to learn and pick up on night 2 of the NFL Draft.

    It might be expectant. He lands outside the round of 2 and 3 based off quarterbacks drop offs currently to entice executives. Sanders did not pass the eye test for Pittsburgh, New Orleans, none even Aaron Rodgers.

    Aaron Rodgers was looking in the flash distance on a Pat McAfee show thinking what position will be whose. And come to find out the unknown is scary for Deion Sanders who coached his son and leads a legacy far imagined.

    Shaddeur Sanders is a prospect with skill, hype, motoring ability but the thing that sets him apart is the gene. The gene and maturity will determine what comes out of this and Sanders handling.

  • Pete Alonso Grows Strong

    Pete Alonso Grows Strong

    Pete Alonso grows strong for the main reason of never letting go. Alonso signed a two year, $54 million deal with the New York Mets during the offseason and it could not have helped more as he has payed dividends with the rumored drama between him and Juan Soto and gone to work with the power tools and terrific on-base percentage to add on NL leading doubles and RBI’s!

    This could not have come at a better time for GM David Stearns as he has not only been steering the ship but he equipped talent now to make him a genius this early in the game.

    Mets fans are clamoring as the team is currently 17-7 and why not. They are also singing like Charlie Blackmon is around to Francisco Lindor at-batTemptations’ song, “I Got Sunshine.”

    Alonso struggled wiith career lows after his great rookie season. For example, Alonso only hit 34 hit home runs and he is a home run king. Since 2019, Alonso has led the NL in homers and who is to say anybody can catch up anytime soon

    The question remains what agent Scott Boras will have up his sleeve come time December. Alonso signed for an opt-out so there may be some drama lingering. Although, the important thing is Alonso is feeling in the New York groove right now.

    He has been loyal to the city since Alonso first got there and I think 2026 we see Alonso return with the optimism of New York and owner Steve Cohen.
