Fate of the ESG

I'm on the outside looking on at this one, no longer working at a daily. But I find the recent news surrounding the fate of this summer's Empire State Games troubling -- and disappionting. This is one of the great grass-roots sporting events in this country.

So where do we go from here. What are the options?

Instead of reporting the fallout, maybe we can brainstorm some solutions and then offer them up in columns. Care to start here?

Rankings Need Consistency

I was in Don Buckley's office on Wednesday afternoon as he happened to be crafting an email to Neil Kerr. For those who don't know, Buckley is the longtime athletic director at St. Anthony's and former president of the state Federation.

In other words, someone whose word matters. And he's not one to complain unless there's something worth addressing.

The point of his email, which he showed me before sending it off, was the NYSSWA boys soccer rankings. St. Anthony's is unbeaten and ranked in th… Continue

Xavier Scores 86!!!!

In case you missed it, Xavier hung 86 points on Cardinal Hayes in a CHSFL game over the weekend. The final was 86-42. Read the story here. I just don't know what to say about this one. But my mouth is open, jaw on the floor and something wants to come out of me...

New City Sports Web Site


I ran into Marc Raimondi recently at the Xaverian-St. Anthony's football game. He and a photographer were there covering Xaverian, a Brooklyn CHSFL school off to a surprising start. Raimondi is one of the founders of www.fiveborosports.com, a web site devoted to City high school and co… Continue

If it is one of our four so far it is St. Anthony's.

They have the most coaches excited about the Web site.

Overall, with the relationships I have it is a tie between Sayville And Islip.

Why do you have so much time to blog and they're always pointed and very good? How do you do it? Oh, and my picture was finally uploaded -- I'm even older looking than that photo. LOL!!

The governor and the parks commish are part of the organization that actually administrates and operates the ESG. Libous is just one of 200 guys in the assembly/senate with no real responsibility or authority over the ESG other than to rubber-stamp the overall state budget that gets negotiated by three men in a room each April.

I'd be fine if the Binghamton ESG committee thanked the guy with his own page in the program. But putting his name on posters that will be plastered across the Southern Tier all summer ticks me off because he isn't actually sponsoring the ESG. The money he kicked in was taxpayer money.

One other point that I should have made in the blog is that he has X number of pork dollars to distribute in his district each year, and that's where this money came from. It's not as though he extracted additional money from the powers that be in Albany. So some other worthy cause(es) -- likely stuff that he could not attach his name to is such a brazen way -- lost out on $100K this year.

Mark Maier sent it my way. He was feeling as though he owed me something because he stopped blogging on the CHSFL one or two weeks early last fall. Truth be told, he was the only one of our four bloggers who made it past the first month of the fall season.

Not to switch gears here, but as a Hurricane alum I must say, Go Canes! Sweet 16 or bust....
