		<description><![CDATA[[New York. November 26, 2008.]  The New York Mets and Citigroup Inc. [NYSE:C] are still claiming that the $400 million naming rights package will be honored, yet, Citi has watched its stock price drop from its 52-week high of about $35 to almost $3 per share.  Of course, this forced the government&#8217;s hand [...]]]></description>

During that time, the Dow Jone Industrial Average (DJIA) had dropped to its 5-year low.   On November 4, 2008 (Election Day), the DJIA closed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[New York. November 23, 2008.] It has been a while since TRP focused on anything but the New York Yankees.  It is easy to forget about the world of politic and sport with the current administration and the downward spiral that plays in the pinstripes.  Now that we have a new president-elect (Mr. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[New York. April 2, 2008.]  The 2008 baseball season has finally begun.  Let me reminder all baseball fans which team in the Northeast is truly the &#8216;home grown&#8217; team.  If you listen to those who hate the Yankees (both on the street and in print), you will often hear that they are &#8220;bought,&#8221; yet, when you [...]]]></description>

September 13, 2007.]  I have to admit, after years of hearing about how the Yankees &#8220;buy&#8221; their teams and have no &#8220;home grown talent,&#8221; I started to believe it.  My response was always &#8212; what about Jeter and Posada, and Mariano and Pettitte, and now, Cano and Cabrera &#8212; and I [...]]]></description>

September 10, 2007.] So, interleague play is long gone and it is time to crunch the numbers &#8212; as expected, the American League is the better conference.  The numbers just do not lie.  Although, I have to admit, the American League East surprised me with a total .500 winning percentage against the National [...]]]></description>

June 11, 2007.]  We just finished our first weekend of the &#8220;real&#8221; interleague matchups.  Last month, we were greeted with the &#8220;rivalry&#8221; interleague matchups.  So, shall we start the debate as to which Major League Baseball Conference is superior?  These two interleague weekends have given us 84 total interleague games.  Luckily, there were [...]]]></description>

As the final follow-up to my articles Western Conference: &#8220;Restrict the NBA&#8221; and Western Conference: &#8220;Restrict the NBA&#8221; II — after the NBA regular season is complete, I have worked the following analysis.  (As I did before, I have updated the non-conference standings, in bold, for all NBA teams below.)
Eastern Conference
