I was rooting for you @grayruby even though I kind of gave up on the MLB and NBA. I still have sporadic interest in the NHL and NFL. ALL of my teams have been in 30+ year slumps. Re your contest, I would say Derek Jeter, but I hate him and the Yankees, so no sats please.
Derek Jeter??? He is one of the most overrated players of all time in my opinion. Good hitter for average, mediocre defender and speed but had a lot of big plays in big moments so gets more hype than he deserves. Dude is a champ, I don't want to take that away from him but I don't even think he is worthy of being a hall of famer.
Who are you NHL and NFL teams?

I forgot to add that I'm very happy to hear that Derek Jeter actually sucked. The NY hype machine kept him in my brain all these years later.
reply
Haha he didn't suck. He just wasn't as great as the hype machine made him out to be. He is was a very good player and certainly the leader of a dominant era of Yankee baseball and seemed to have the clutch gene if that's a thing.

Jets and Islanders. It's not easy. 40+ and waiting on one, and nothing since Broadway Joe with the other.
reply
Islanders and Oilers still paying back the debts of owning the 80s I guess. Neither has done much since.
reply
Oilers are good now. McDavid is amazing, but I guess not amazing enough to carry a team through the playoffs.
reply
Yeah good until the playoffs start. Haha.

Also, thanks for rooting for me Siggy. I still believe "if you co-opt it they will come". Having fun regardless.
