A lawyer by trade, Elliot Steinmetz took over a program that hadn’t posted a winning season in seven years and turned the Macs into a Division III powerhouse that reeled off a multi-year winning streak, all on his spare time.
The Cross Island Parkway is acting odd. It is inviting and agreeable, as if meeting its future in-laws for the first time. Even the Cross Bronx is tolerable, more bratty brother than evil stepsister.
