It's hopeless.
Yes, this is a very general statement, but when it comes to the current state of the New Jersey sports scene, it applies no matter where you look.
Start with football teams. The Giants? They are 4-21 in their last 25 games. The Jets? Heading to their eighth straight season without a playoff series. Rutgers? Barreling toward a 1-11 season and the Big Ten basement.
Oh, sure, the Yankees made the playoffs. But the Red Sox -- the hated Red Sox -- won the entire enchilada after knocking them out. The Devils made the postseason, too, but were quickly ushered to the exits in five games as one of their old rivals claimed their first Stanley Cup.
