Author Archive for Different Matt
Different Matt is our cunning Cornell grad/rugby player. "Diff" joined us just after the switch from being "Mets only" to an all-sports stop. He's a Yankee fan; thus he was "different."

Keep Calm: Its Just the NHL Playoffs
Medicine Hat, AB – Its only the start of the second round of the NHL playoffs and already my nerves are shot. That seven game slugfest with the Caps took a lot out of me. Especially the 1-0 game 6 victory at the Garden. The last three minutes of that game when the Rangers didn’t [...]

NEW YORK, NY – Its Day 2 of the NCAA Tournament and half of your brackets are busted before the first round of games are through. Did you really think Valparaiso would go to the Elite 8? That was just silly. Most of the rest of your brackets will be completely shot to sh!t by [...]
Blueshirts Back in a New York Groove
THE GARDEN, NY – I know I’ve neglected my Yankees in recent columns but there isn’t much I want to talk about concerning the Bombers. They are going to be a very average team this season and I have plenty of time to talk about how average they are going to be. But two months [...]

Winter Blues: Rangers Looking for a Spark
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NY – We’re a third of the way through this shortened NHL season and the Rangers cant seem to get any momentum going.
