Three wins in four games later, the Yankees did what they needed to do against the Orioles. Even after Thursday’s heartbreaking 9-6 walk-off loss, the Bronx Bombers still have the best record in baseball. More good news, the Yankees still have a comfy five-game lead in the American League East. Better news, the team is … Continued
Matt Harvey hit a new rock-bottom this week with his 60-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s drug policy. Terry Collins traces the once-dominant right-hander’s fall from grace to his desire to be bigger than the town that propelled him to stardom. “You cannot think you are bigger than New York City. You can’t do … Continued
It’s not the worst-case scenario, but it isn’t good. Mets right-hander Max Scherzer is expected to be out 6-8 weeks after suffering a moderate-to-high grade left oblique strain on Wednesday night against the Cardinals. That means they will be down three starters — Jacob deGrom, Tylor McGill and Scherzer — in the foreseeable future. This … Continued

Mike Francesa has made his best and final (hypothetical) offer to Aaron Judge. The WFAN legend remains steadfast in his stance. He does not believe the Yankees should cave to Judge’s contract demands, even as he leads the Majors in home runs during the Bombers’ best-in-baseball start to the season. And if Judge ends up … Continued
Kennedy Chandler can hoop. He passes the eye test with flying colors, but his lack of size and strength could hurt his NBA Draft stock. As a freshman, Chandler was named Second-Team All-SEC, SEC All-Freshman Team, and SEC Tournament MVP. That’s quite a long resumé for a one-and-done player. Although he might need some seasoning … Continued
Dom Smith isn’t happy with his current role, it seems.
The Yankees released Jake Sanford — a minor league outfielder who was a third-round pick in 2019 — without much fanfare last week. But there will be plenty of attention given to this roster move now. NJ Advance Media’s Brendan Kuty reports: The Yankees cut Sanford over allegations that he repeatedly hounded teammates for their … Continued
The bulk of the Jets optimism is driven by Joe Douglas’ NFL draft moves as general manager. But one of Mike Maccagnan’s final acts as GM also factors into their long-term plans. ESPN national reporter Jeremy Fowler expects the Jets will look to lock down defensive tackle Quinnen Williams sooner rather than later. He writes: Williams … Continued
The veteran cornerback has signed a one-year deal with Philly.
Aaron Judge may have millions of reasons to love these new baseballs. Home runs are down significantly in Major League Baseball. Many are blaming the ball itself. But no matter the explanation, it is elevating the importance of power hitters like Judge. The Yankees star has slugged an MLB-leading 14 homers this year during an … Continued
Aaron Judge might have had four hits and two home runs in Tuesday’s 5-4 win over the Orioles, but the Yankees slugger could have easily had three long balls. Judge’s first-inning double came off the new high wall in left field at Camden Yards. Last year, it easily would have been a home run. And … Continued
The 2022 NBA Draft order is set. The Orlando Magic are in celebratory mode after landing the No. 1 pick. Now comes the hard part for decision-makers in Orlando. They will have to make a choice between Chet Holmgren, Paolo Banchero, and Jabari Smith Jr. It’s a good problem to have, but that doesn’t make … Continued
AJ Griffin is riding a rollercoaster. He came into his freshman season at Duke as one of the highest-rated prospects in the country but fell down on draft boards after a slow start. However, he stabilized his draft prospects with a strong second half of the season. His three-point shooting is elite, even if his … Continued
The New York Knicks are locked in at 11 in the 2022 NBA Draft. It’s another NBA Lottery and another year where the Knicks don’t move up. The last time New York jumped up in the lotto was in 1985 when they leapfrogged two spots to snag Patrick Ewing first overall. As much as Knicks … Continued
There are two very dumb things that happen every year during every professional sport’s postseason without fail. First, it is written in the Bible somewhere that media members in one city must take a bunch of juvenile potshots about another city for no other reason than teams from the two cities are competing against each other. … Continued
Mike Francesa remains a hard marker when it comes to Aaron Judge. The Yankees slugger’s MVP-caliber start to the season has not won the big guy over. Francesa said he hopes the team does give into Judge’s massive contract extension demands amid his surge in the final year of his current deal. “The Yankees made … Continued

Looking at the state of the Yankees’ pitching staff today, it’s hard to not think of the climax of the ’90s classic Rounders. We all know the scene. Matt Damon’s Mike McDermott is heads-up with John Malkovich’s Teddy KGB. A simple eight and nine of spades turns out to be the winning hand, even with … Continued
Kyrie Irving’s spring media tour rolled on Monday with some unexpected introspection. The mercurial Nets star made an appearance on the “I Am Athlete” podcast and expressed regret for blowing up his partnership with LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers after just one NBA title. Irving, who forced a trade after the team upset the … Continued
Mike Francesa is so disgusted with Rich Strike’s management, he won’t even say the horse’s name. Seriously. The WFAN legend — and part-owner of elite race horse High Oak — blasted the decision to scratch the historic Kentucky Derby long-shot winner from this weekend’s Preakness Stakes on his latest BetRivers podcast. Owner Rick Dawson announced last … Continued
It sounds like the next Mike and the Mad Dog one-off reunion may already be in the works. WFAN legend Mike Francesa has interest in hosting Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo, his former partner, on his new BetRivers podcast. The big guy said as much while answering reader emails during his most-recent episode released on Monday. … Continued
Jaden Ivey was one of the most fun players to watch in college basketball this past season. His elite athleticism is part of the reason why he’s a menace with the ball when he gains momentum going downhill. After a decent freshman season, he used his sophomore year at Purdue to become one of the … Continued
Craig Carton and Evan Roberts regained WFAN’s afternoon drive supremacy during the winter ratings book. And now it appears they are restoring the station’s time-honored tradition of romping over ESPN Radio New York.

Lou Lamoriello, as you would expect, provided the most-tired and vague explanation possible for why he canned Barry Trotz last week. “I believe that this group of players needs a new voice,” the Islanders‘ front office czar said. Lamoriello has found him. And the search did not have to cover much ground. The Isles have … Continued
Nothing motivates the NFL quite like the possibility of more free money and publicity. Especially when you throw a threatening lawsuit into the mix. That is why as we count down the hours until Tuesday’s NBA draft lottery, it feels inevitable there will eventually be one for professional football — and it will be even … Continued
Hope springs eternal around town for the Jets these days. But the suits at Amazon are not buying the cautious optimism surrounding Zach Wilson’s second season. NBC’s Peter King had an interesting NFL scheduling nugget tucked into his Monday morning column: Amazon specifically asked for a Packers home game to be part of its new … Continued
After another series win in Chicago, the Yankees stay on the road to face a familiar foe. Next up is a four-game set with the Orioles in Baltimore. The Birds took two out of three the last time New York came to town and, brace for impact, aren’t in last place for once. But they did … Continued

We won’t know exactly where the New York Knicks are picking in the 2022 NBA Draft for a few more days, but that doesn’t stop the mock drafts from coming. Most outlets (including this one) have the Knicks selecting at 11, which is the most likely outcome by an overwhelming margin. Here’s where the Knicks … Continued
The Brooklyn Nets are locked into pick No. 23 for the moment. After trading their 2022 first-round pick to get James Harden, they took one back from the Philadelphia 76ers when things fell apart in Brooklyn. After last year’s disappointing finish, it’s hard to know what needs GM Sean Marks is going to address in … Continued
Chet Holmgren’s one of the top prospects in the 2022 NBA Draft. Does his unique skill set outweigh the physical concerns?
It’s hard to criticize Joel Embiid for his performance this season. There’s an argument that he should have won the MVP and he came back from a litany of injuries to play in this Eastern Conference Semifinals. But even Embiid’s talent and toughness couldn’t put the Sixers over the hump this year. After Philadelphia’s Game … Continued
The Jets must make the postseason in 2022. But is that even possible?
The Nets aren’t the only ones pissed at Kyrie Irving. Now Nike is too. The mercurial star’s cavalcade of nonsense has put his shoe deal at risk, according to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowski.

Walker Kessler is one of the biggest success stories of the transfer portal. After a decent year at North Carolina, he left for Auburn and turned into one of the most dominant big men in the country.

Heyman reports: According to folks close to Rodriguez, the slugger, broadcaster, entrepreneur and … Continued
Luis Gil can pitch, but he has no future as a starter. The Yankees brass saw this in person on Thursday, when the young flamethrower made a spot start against the White Sox in an eventual 15-7 win over Chicago. He got the nod despite a brutal start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a 9.53 ERA … Continued
People are going to talk about how the Giants have a favorable strength of schedule ranking. Don’t pay attention. Sure, the Giants’ 2022 slate seems manageable. But analyzing things on last year’s results and winning percentages is silly. Strength of schedule does not take into account the heavy travel required of the team this fall. … Continued

When you think of international sporting excellence, you now think of the Meadowlands. What had been rumored for a while is now official: World Rugby has awarded the Men’s and Women’s World Cups to the United States in 2031 and 2033, respectively. And the always awkward New York/New Jersey location mash-up is not only in … Continued
