Rangers fans still showed up Thursday at Madison Square Garden, as they always do, to witness the end of a season which offered them very little to be proud of.  

They’ve endured a disastrous 2024-25 campaign all the way through.

The Rangers became the fourth team in NHL history to miss the postseason one year after winning the Presidents’ Trophy, dropping from a franchise-record 55 wins all the way down to 39.

They managed a 4-0 win over the Lightning in Thursday’s regular-season finale, but neither team had anything to play for.

Rory McIlroy, the pre-tournament second “choice,” behind Scottie Scheffler, survived a bad last round and won a playoff vs Justin Rose, to win the prestigious Masters golf crown for the first time.

Oh he nearly blew it, but now has won 5 major golf tournaments.

McIlroy is now the sixth golfer ever to win all four majors and achieve the career Grand Slam, joining Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

Quite good company!

The New York Knicks lost 108-102 at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers. New York was in firm control of the game, but everything fell apart in the second half. They coughed up a 23-point lead and were outscored by 18 points in the final 24 minutes. 

Friday night was an age-old story for the New York Knicks. They have been unable to beat the NBA’s top 3 teams this year. They finished the regular season 0-4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, 0-4 against the Boston Celtics, and 0-2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With the NBA Playoffs around the corner, how will the New York Knicks fare?

Even with a loss last night, an Indiana Pacers loss locked the Knicks into the No. 3 seed. They will face the Detroit Pistons in the 1st Round of the NBA Playoffs. The Knicks are limping into the postseason losers of three straight games. New York lost to Detroit 115-106 on the road on Thursday. The Knicks blew a 13-point lead to finish the season 1-3 against the Pistons.

Symphony Technology Group managing partner Bill Chisholm has reportedly agreed to purchase the Boston Celtics from the Grousbeck family for a valuation for $6.1 billion, which is the largest sale of a North American sports franchise in history.

The sale surpasses the previous record set when a group led by billionaire Josh Harris purchased the NFL’s Washington Commanders for $6.05 billion in 2023.

The Grousbeck family made a massive profit off the sale, having initially purchased the Celtics for $360 million in 2002. The franchise is the winningest in NBA history with a league-best 3,684 regular season victories and 18 NBA championships, having entered the current 2024-25 season as defending world champions.

For 30-plus minutes in Monday’s NCAA title game, Houston’s defense flustered a freewheeling Florida offense into playing its own grinding game.

But Florida would not be denied. The Gators looked cooked when Houston opened up a 42-30 second-half lead. But Florida persevered and rallied for a 65-63 win to secure the program’s third national championship. The victory denied Houston and head coach Kelvin Sampson each their first.

Houston was in control for much of the game and didn’t allow Florida to take a second-half lead until Alijah Martin hit two free throws with 46.5 remaining after drawing a foul on a drive to the basket. Florida never trailed again.

Houston turned the ball over on its ensuing possession, and Florida answered with a Denzel Aberdeen free throw to extend the lead to 65-63 with 19.7 seconds left. Houston had an opportunity to tie the game or take the lead on the next possession.

But Florida gave Houston a dose of its own defensive medicine with a smothering effort on the final possession of the game.

The New York Yankees got off to a hot start Saturday, opening a home game against the Milwaukee Brewers by hitting three straight home runs off the first three pitches. That was just the start of the onslaught: New York finished with a team-record nine homers — including three from Aaron Judge — in a 20-9 victory over the Brewers.

The Toronto Blue Jays hold the MLB record for home runs in a game with 10, set in 1987. The Yankees, who were using some interesting hardware, joined the Cincinnati Reds (Sept. 4, 1999) as the only other teams with nine.

New York’s first four homers came against former Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes, who was traded to Milwaukee soon after dropping the ball in New York’s World Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

For the first time in 70 years, two Yankees aged 25 or younger went deep in the first game of the season. The last time that happened, Mickey Mantle was involved, and the Yankees reached the World Series.

Austin Wells, a 25-year-old catcher, and Anthony Volpe, a 24-year-old shortstop, delivered homers Thursday on the way to a relatively breezy, 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. 

Southpaw Carlos Rodón cruised through 5 innings in place of injured ace Gerrit Cole. Captain Aaron Judge laced a timely double that doinked off third base in the seventh. Things got hairy for new closer Devin Williams against his former club in the ninth, but the All-Star held on for his first save in pinstripes.

And the home fans — all 46,208 of them went home happy.

Both Volpe and Wells are crucial not just to this season but also to the next half-decade of Yankees baseball. Aaron Judge will turn 33 in April. Cole will be 35 when he returns next season. Goldschmidt, Williams and Bellinger can be free agents this winter. Jazz Chisholm Jr. could depart the next winter.

And so, the blossoming of Volpe, Wells and Domínguez is not a pipe dream or a nice bonus. It is, as Boone said, something the Yankees are “relying upon.”

In a bold move catering to the hustle and bustle of New York City life, Chick-fil-A just opened its inaugural mobile pickup restaurant in the heart of the Big Apple. 

Breaking ground with this innovative concept, Chick-fil-A aims to revolutionize the dining experience for busy urbanites, with plans to introduce a second pioneering drive-thru venture later in the year.

Dubbed Chick-fil-A 79th & 2nd, the new establishment caters exclusively to delivery and mobile app orders, promising New Yorkers a seamless and expedited pickup encounter. Operating without a traditional dining area, the focus will be on efficiency and convenience without compromising Chick-fil-A’s renowned hospitality.

Fans conveniently place their orders for delivery or carryout via the Chick-fil-A App or online platform. Utilizing geofencing technology, the restaurant is notified when customers are en route, ensuring orders are promptly prepared to synchronize with their arrival. Inside, real-time status boards update guests and delivery drivers on the readiness of their orders, facilitating a smooth and efficient process.
