Bruce’s Thought Of The Day

A roiling debate late in yesterdays show- Game On With Bruce Jacobs, 3-7pm on 1045 the team- Based on SNY tv in New york asking who are the top 5 Mets players of all time. By the way as  a Met fan I take Seaver, Piazza, Wright, Kranepool (because he still owns many Met records)and  Strawbe…

20 years in the talk radio business- sports and other formats.  I can count on 2 hands the "memorable" interviews I have conducted. The interview today with NFL Hall of Famer Joe Delamielleure  is on that list.

Oh Monday should be interesting. Ok up front I am not  Heat fan. Can't root for them as I like the Knicks. But I do love Lebron and America's hate fest with this great basketball talent is laughable if not nauseating.

So let's see Lebron James doesn't get the final shot Tuesday night-Instead Mario Chalmers gets the feed from Dwayne Wade and takes the last shot-and sports talk radio spends hours hammering Lebron. Oh yeah Analysis and perspective from a line of 'experts"...

Bernard Pollard of the Baltimore Ravens says we may not see Football in 20-30 years with the way the game is going now.

I would love to take credit for this original thought but it wasn't mine. The tempting thought comes from The Times Union Sports Writer Pete Iorizzo who opined about this very thought in his column in Fridays paper. As a huge NHL fan it caught my attention and is very interesting.

Memo to NFL commisioner Goodell. Cuban dictator Fidel Castro is an old man and hopefully won't be above ground much longer. When he goes the Cubans will need a new leader. You should apply for the job. The way you run the NFL proves your a dictator waiting for a Country to rule...

The Bills filled needs. The Jets took some chances. The Giants puzzles me. That's my snap shot thoughts on the draft. Let me add this- I am a draft by position need guy. Not a best athlete guy unless he is off the charts. The really good teams can adopt that philosophy and it works but if you h…

The classic 2nd guess- and in my view the wrong guess. In light of Bulls star Derrick Rose's season ending knee injury suffered Saturday in the closing moments of the Bulls blowout of the Philadelphia 76ers, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau is getting creamed by the back seat drivers and the know…
