Davante Adams was livid on the sideline after Jimmy Garoppolo badly overthrew him on a wide-open look late in the fourth quarter. It was another frustrating night for Adams, who had just one catch for 11 yards for the Raiders in a 26-14 loss to the Lions at Ford Field. He was targeted only seven times Monday night. The errant pass to Adams by Garoppolo cost the Raiders, who dropped their fifth game of the season, a chance to cut into their 12-point deficit with 4:29 left in the fourth quarter. Adams was open near the Lions’ 25-year line with…

The Canadian computer consultant had spent the past few years traveling the world — visiting 45 countries and conducting over 2,000 media interviews to warn of the imminent dangers of the “Y2K” computer programming problem. Now, with his work all but done, he was all set to head to Ireland’s west coast to enjoy a pint in his favorite bar, O’Connor’s in Doolin, County Clare. “It’s my happy place,” he told The Post. But as New Year’s Eve drew ever nearer, the world’s fears of what might occur — ranging…
What makes the Islanders’ loss to the Red Wings on Monday night so frustrating is also what, at least in Casey Cizikas’ mind, makes it an anomaly. The 2-0 lead that turned into a 4-3 overtime defeat following three goals allowed in a five-minute span during the final period, Cizikas said, came because the Islanders started turning pucks over in an uncharacteristic manner. “We gotta take care of the puck,” he said. “We knew they were gonna come hard. We gotta be crisp with our plays and make sure that when we have it on our stick we do the…
