This list is a bit crazy. Darnold and Barkley haven't played a single snap.
I think the only people on this list a casual New Yorker may realize who it is are: Aaron Judge and Kristaps Porzingis.

They were super hyped though. In a few months Barkley will be all over the back page. Idk about Darnold, because he might not get to play for a while.

Doyle just predicted Jonathan Lewis in the 23 for the 2022 World Cup. Can we have him play 90 minutes first.

Why? If he can produce a goal or assist every game in the last 10-15minutes, then he could function the same way for the MNT.
Obviously it’d be nice to have him compete for starting minutes, but a MNT super sub is very possible.
Of course, they’ve been shopping for his replacement even before he was injured.
But yeah, Lewis will either be an MLS starter or playing significant minutes at a higher level I would guess.
Ummm, Eli? Everyone knows Eli. Even my wife and her friends.
And it’s not like he blends in. He’s freaking huge (physically) and very recognizably goofy-friendly Manning face.
I’m right under 6 ft and 200lbs, and if I stand behind Eli, you can’t see me. I know we see sizes reported all the time, but because of the context we see him on tv, I don’t think most realize just how much of a mountain of man that guy is. Or maybe it’s just me that always gets surprised by athletes in person. (Like with Villa, where it was opposite - like, omg, he’s so tiny. I want to pet him. )

The context on athletes is really disorienting. Eli looks 5'10" 180 on TV standing next to his linemen. Stephen Curry looks small next to LeBron but he's 6'3".
No. But the struggle was real.
Missing the other team that plays at YS

Goes to show you just how little anyone cares about soccer and hockey in new york. But at least hockey got some recognition in this article...
They were pretty borderline about hockey in the article.
They also seemed non-commital as to whether a championship from the Devils (a team in New Jersey) would count.
It would not.
I should have italicized "some" to make it more obvious, but I was trying to jape at it lol. Regardless, this, I article, I feel, quite explains most, if not all, NY'ers approach to sports- "The yankees and giants!" and everyone else.
Well, the NYDN just reduced its sports staff from 35 to 9(!!!!!!), so I wonder if we'll be getting basically zero tread in that paper from now on.
