Injuries no excuse for Yankees' demise

* WILL THE NETS EVER GET THEIR ARENA IN BROOKLYN?

I hope not.

As a native Brooklynite, I never liked the grandiose plans of turning the Downtown area into the mega-development that Bruce Ratner planned. Something about it smelled worse than the Staten Island landfill. Still does. Opposition has remained steadfast and, in the end, may scuttle a project that never should have been.

MAVEN'S VERDICT:

The Brooklyn arena will never happen. Ratner, who never gave a hoot about hoops, will sell the team and it will wind up in Newark, where it belongs.
