We keep the EWB Power Rankings simple this week with a special tribute to Mariano Rivera with the New York Islanders and Brooklyn Nets staying near the top.
Mariano Rivera will take the spot of the New York Yankees in this week’s Power Rankings for obvious reason, but in classic fashion he also just beast out the New York Islanders and Brooklyn Nets for the top spot.
It is Wednesday so that means we rank the 12 teams we cover based on the last seven days.
Usually, I am in a savage mood when I do this. There really is not much change this week and it is mostly a brutal time to watch New York sports.
Naturally, in the middle of January days after like a six degree day, baseball is the talk of the town again.
Mariano Rivera and Mike Mussina are in the Hall of Fame and both Yankee legends. The Mets, once again do not get a Hall of Famer, but Twitter seems to think the next one is Carlos Beltran.
Either way, New York sports do not stop for any one or anything. So, here they are, the latest and perhaps the best Empire Writes Back Power Rankings.
Well, there you have it.
I really hope you enjoyed these rankings and are looking forward to them next week.
Sometimes, the only thing to look forward to in New York sports is talking about how bad they are right now.
What do you think? Should a team be higher? Should I go back to being hard on the Jets?
That’s it for this weeks rankings. Alright, New York, y’all be good.
