Hey guys. I hope you all had a great weekend. Yesterday was a historic moment as it was the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Also, it was a night of upset victories in New York football. Here we go.
NFL
Yesterday marked the 1st game of the regular season for both the NY Giants and the NY Jets. The Giants faced the Washington Redskins in a 4:15 game on FOX. The Giants were the favorites to win this game, but it was not meant to be as Washington made a comeback at the 2nd half and achieved a victory of 28-14. Here are the highlights from the Giants/Redskins game:
Later that night, the NY Jets hosted the Dallas Cowboys in a prime-time slot on NBC Sunday Night Football. In my opinion, this was the toughest game for the Jets as Dallas dominated the 1st half. However, the Jets made a comeback in the 2nd half and made a field-goal winning kick to achieve a 27-24 victory. Here are the highlights:
MLB
This past weekend, the Yankees faced the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in a 3 game series. Although the Angels had a 2 game advantage, the Yankees pulled off a victory in the end to snap their losing streak and to avoid a sweep. For the Mets, they hosted the Chicago Cubs at Citi Field this weekend. Although the Mets have won the game on Friday, they lost over the remaining 2 days.
The New York Yankees will remain in the West Coast to face the Seattle Mariners this week before heading to our neighbors up north, the Toronto Blue Jays this weekend. Meanwhile for the Mets, they will host the Washington Nationals this week before heading to Atlanta.
Bellator
Bellator Fighting Championships returned to MTV 2 for it's season 5 premiere. Bellator 49 took place in Atlantic City, NJ and overall there were 9 fights on the card. 5 were streamed for the 1st time on Spike.com (mainly due to the success of UFC streaming preliminary fights), while the remaining 4 aired on MTV 2 (and Epix HD in some markets). Here are the results for the main card:
Strikeforce World Grand Prix: Barnett vs Kharitonov took place also on the same night as Bellator 49 (although it aired at a different time) and it emanated from US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio. Overall, there were 10 fights on the card. 5 fights aired on HDNet, while the other 5 aired on Showtime. Here are the results of the main card:
WWE
This Monday is the last Raw before WWE Night of Champions PPV. Raw will be emanating from Ottawa, Ontario. Tune in to find out what will happen between CM Punk & Triple H, and the situation between all the champions as Night of Champions is where all of the titles are defended.
ROH

Have a good week everyone!
