Cam Skattebo has one simple Giants goal this offseason
NY Post
Cam Skattebo wants to be associated with more than loud screams, backflips and angry runs.
He wants to be about winning, which means the Giants need to turn things around soon.
“Everywhere I’ve been, I’ve kind of been the rah-rah [guy] just because I’m loud and obnoxious, but we still went 4-13,” Skattebo said. “If you’re the face of the franchise and you’re not a good franchise, then there’s still an issue — and it’s not that big of a deal. But if I’m the face of the franchise when we’re winning the Super Bowl, then you can ask me that question in a year or two.”
One ingredient that would accelerate a Giants change of fates from the NFL’s second-worst record over the last three seasons would be Skattebo’s full return to health after an ankle dislocation and fractured fibula that required immediate surgery Oct. 26.
“Getting healthy, so that’s what matters,” Skattebo said during his first post-injury interview with beat reporters. “I’ve got about another week until I start moving around and upping my speed a little bit. Time is going to tell, but I’m taking it easy because we have plenty of time to get back to it.”
Skattebo said his “long goal” is to be on the field for the start of training camp, with a hope of participating in spring OTAs. He was in a walking boot for eight weeks, so regaining his dorsiflexion (upward movement of the foot at the ankle) is the first priority.
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.
The discourse has gone on for two seasons now. But it doesn’t exactly match reality.
Where were the grownups for Team USA?
The Rangers reconvened after the Olympic stoppage wanting to find some successful combinations that had been largely absent through much of a disappointing last-place season.
SALT LAKE CITY — There was no sugarcoating an ugly first-half performance from the Knicks in the locker room, and the harsh words during the break helped spur a comeback in Wednesday’s 134-117 victory over the Jazz.
Team USA’s fate is out of its hands.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Jasson Domínguez’s first-inning at-bat against Tanner Banks on Tuesday featured a different result and a different swing than “The Martian” had been accustomed to against lefty pitching.

SALT LAKE CITY — Leon Rose tried to address the bench in the summer. It didn’t work. He got a redo at the trade deadline with Jose Alvarado and Jeremy Sochan.
If Isaiah Likely was the most … er … likely former Raven to follow head coach John Harbaugh to the Giants, Patrick Ricard wasn’t far behind.
The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
