May 6th - This Day in NY Sports HistoryLittle delay on the Sports Nickel this week.

She's still stuck in Miami as I type this, but the fact remains there's little I can do from here. Best to just Stay Calm and maintain my status quo. Which for today, means writing about sports...
Fans of the New York Jets were throwing themselves off the Brooklyn Bridge this past weekend when it was announced they had extended the contract of starting quarterback Mark Sanchez.

While some of us have moved on to spring sports, many still want to bask in the confetti. For those looking to waft, check out these stats on Super Bowl Reporting and Media:
It's becoming a bit of a tradition of mine, publishing this video the week after the Super Bowl.

Rex Ryan and the Jets take a lot of crap because of how much they run their collective mouths. Well guess what; the Giants are just as guilty, if not more so, and Super Bowl week gave a plethora of examples.
Earlier this month, the 2012 National Baseball Hall of Fame class was announced, and on Saturday, we will learn the newest members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This time of year always draws a crowd of voices debating not only who belongs in the halls of fame and who does not, but also what the standards for induction should be—what it means (or should mean) for someone to be a hall of famer.
