ah man! I am never concerned about the New York teams..in any sport. they are all nuts those teams, crazy teams, on all levels. they select the worst execs to run the teams. they are a mess and shambles and a spectacle in the media and on the field of play
but that is one reason why when they are winning they are so attractive and compelling..irresistible! you have to watch..you cant turn away. when they are winning as they do once every decade or two they have managed to collect pools of nuts-men players who are as excellent as they are crazy. along with a just as crazy field boss, the quintessential example of which was Billy Martin of the championship Yankees
How they manage to find such managers, who are as nuts as the players, and actually hire them..and it all works..you wont find accurate explanation in the whole universe. the crazy manager or head coach, GM whatever manages to jell his wild team composed of players who by rights should 'explo' any team they all find themselves a collective part of..a collection of
Billy Martin eh. it worked. he won.. not once but twice in a row....
those Yankees baseball teams remains just about the greatest, most exciting, combustible, powerful and satisfying teams I ever saw win at anything in my life..slightly more so that west indies under Frank Worrell. Reggie Jackson hitting 3 straight home runs to win the series was most fitting, thrilling, satisfying..one of the greatest sights in all of sports history
the Giants were down before...for a long time. then they got Bill Parcels and the rest is history.
the Giants will luck and stumble into someone to lead them right soon enough, who will pull it all together for a while, bring together lots of brilliant nuts players. that's what they do..their MO - a nuts team.
what I do with the Giants, the Jets, Knicks, Yanks etc? look away and just wait...look back when the good team arrives. it will be a crazy team for sure..doh let it fool you no matter how quiet and respectable it looks. it is just that their insanity is different from the previous great team but no less deeply nuts, combustible and brilliant. look for their insanity! you will soon find it. and as they grow and win that insanity, whatever form it takes will become full blown. the more brilliant they play the more nuts they will behave.
as long as the world is in one piece and things remain baseball,basketball, football..just wait for those teams and look away from the crap in the interim, no matter how long it takes. just don't be bothered. if they manage to pull it together again in our life time it will be worth it
