From grass to ice - with hardwood in between

The Yankees' season is officially over, one which Derek Jeter called a failure, but it's only the beginning of what promises to be an eventful offseason. With both Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium dark in October — and with dates with a wrecking ball — the Giants and Jets are suddenly front and center. That means more people will be paying attention Plaxico Burress' insubordination and Brett's New York Jets — and the minute detail of the undefeated, first-place Giants' quest to repeat as Super Bowl champions.

Less people will notice, or even care, that the Rangers begin their regular season Saturday in Prague against the Tampa Bay Lightening. I'll be posting random thoughts on the team on my Blue Lines Blog throughout a campaign where it's essentially the Eastern Conference Finals or bust.

On the YES end, some exciting projects are in the works with the New Jersey Nets, that is until the Yankees sign a top-shelf free agent or swing a major trade.
