Welcome to nysportblog.com, co-run by Conor Reilly and myself, Chris Bianchi. We want to entertain you and make you think. We want to cover essential topics in New York sports, from Omar Minaya press conferences to highly underachieving local basketball teams. We'll also be starting some contests soon, including an NFL playoff prediction contest and later on, of course, a March Madness pool.

So check back, comment and join in, and tell your friends.

We are sponsored by ZDM Design Studio, a Greenwich, CT based interior design firm that focuses on a client-specific experience. Check out their website at www.zdmdesignstudio.com; I can vouch personally that they are fantastic people who are really committed to making your interior design experience as personal and positive as can be. A big thank you to ZDM; without them this wouldn't all be possible.
