Fates of Brian Daboll, Joe Schoen hang in balance ahead of final Giants game
NY Post
PHILADELPHIA — All inconsequential games are not created equal.
The regular-season finale that goes down Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field features two teams with nothing tangible to play for, no real reward for the winner and no dire repercussions for the loser.
It is not that big of a deal — or a big deal at all — if the Eagles drop this one at home, and it is not especially newsworthy if the Giants come out ahead in their last road game.
The reasons why this does not matter much for either side is what separates these teams.
The Eagles (13-3) are moving onward and upward, resting their starters having already captured the NFC East title and the No. 2 seed in the conference.
They will play a playoff game at the Linc next weekend, and there is no reason whatsoever for them to risk anyone (we see you, Saquon Barkley) or anything that might compromise their chances to move deeper into the postseason.
WASHINGTON — Penalties have piled up for the Rangers in recent games, and it’s beginning to cost them greatly.
CHICAGO — The Knicks better hope it was just tired legs on Saturday night.
CHICAGO — Karl-Anthony Towns was hurt toward the end of Saturday’s loss to the Bulls and limped to the locker room.
PHILADELPHIA — All inconsequential games are not created equal.
The 2024 Yankees were American League champions. It is a forever designation. It will not historically come with footnotes.
The Jets will return to MetLife Stadium for the last time this season on Sunday to face the Dolphins.
The NHL goaltender interference rule is just like the strike zone. It is subjective, often arbitrary. The rule/zone changes from game to game and from officiating crew/home plate umpire. A strike on Wednesday is a ball on Thursday, and a goal confirmed on Saturday is a goal reversed on Sunday.
Here’s the difference between the Jets and the Giants:
CHICAGO — If it’s not a minutes distribution problem, it’s a depth problem.
Even after the Rangers snapped their four-game losing streak with a win over the Bruins on Thursday night, the hole they have to climb out of to get back into the playoff picture is no joke.
At this point in the offseason, the Yankees have a pretty good idea of what the back end of their bullpen will look like, with newly acquired Devin Williams sliding into the closer role and Luke Weaver setting up the ex-Brewer and finishing games on occasion.
