Hey, I’m checking in from Venice, Italy. It was a big weekend of sports back in New York. Both New York football teams won and are now 3-0 and the Yankees swept the Red Sox and won the AL East.

The Yankees are finding their rhythm at the perfect time as they have won seven in a row including last night’s walk-off win against the Royals. The most gratifying part is that five of the seven wins are against the Angels and Red Sox, two playoff-bound teams. AJ Burnett is back and gaining confidence heading into the postseason. 

The Giants rushing attack came alive in a steamrolling of the Buccaneers on Sunday 24-0. Their defense was able to shut down the Bucs’ running game and when you can do those two things then chances are you are going to win. Eli Manning, although he didn’t have to do too much, played well.

As for the Jets, they were able to find a way to win on Sunday against the Titans. The defense was far from perfect, but a big fourth quarter by middle linebacker David Harris proved to be too much in the Jets 24-17 victory. Mark Sanchez threw for two touchdowns and ran in for another. The Jets take on 3-0 New Orleans this weekend.

So there it is, a big New York sports weekend and hopefully many more to come.
