Nothing is certain. The Rangers have learned that many times over during this first-round playoff series. But the stars appear to be aligning for Game 7 at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Penguins star Sidney Crosby is out for Friday’s Game 6 in Pittsburgh with an undisclosed upper body injury. Defenseman Jacob Trouba didn’t get … Continued

Alex Rodriguez is not giving up his goal of MLB ownership. The former Yankees star and Miami native is eying up the Marlins in the wake of frenemy Derek Jeter’s exit from the franchise, according to The New York Post’s Jon Heyman. 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
Where do the Giants and Jets rank among the rest of the NFL following the 2022 draft?

Nestor Cortes was a just a baby-faced arm out of the Yankees’ bullpen. And then he grew a mustache. The rest is history. The crafty lefty may be New York’s No. 5 starter, but he has pitched like an ace this season. His 1.41 ERA is second in the American League and no opponent has … 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
An Aaron Judge walk-off home run and a five RBI day from Gleyber Torres later, the Yankees handled the Blue Jays again with a quick two-game sweep. New York’s lead in the American League East has grown to four games over the Rays, while Toronto’s struggles have dropped them to third place and six games … Continued
We already know the New York Giants will hop across the pond to play the Green Bay Packers in London this fall. But the remainder of the team’s 2022 schedule will be revealed Thursday when the NFL unveils its master matrix. Below is a rundown of the schedules for the Giants and New York Jets. This … Continued
Paolo Banchero isn’t a new name for NBA Draft nuts. In fact, the baby-faced assassin was the No. 2 pick in ESNY’s first 2022 NBA Mock Draft. Banchero is the next one-and-done Duke Blue Devil on track to become a star at the next level. There are areas for Banchero to improve, but it almost … Continued
Sean Marks and Steve Nash finally graced the local press corps with their presence Wednesday to wrap up the Nets‘ dumpster fire season — 16 days after the Celtics swept them out of the playoffs. The big headline: Marks threw a little chin music at Kyrie Irving. The general manager was non-committal when asked if … Continued
We’ve reached the point where everything is believable with Ben Simmons. He needs back surgery? Figures. He’s feuding with Eli Apple’s uncle? Sure. North Korea wanted to fly him in to play horse with Kim Jong Un? I made that one up, but admit it, you didn’t bat an eye. That all said, it would … Continued
James Bradberry exercised his Twitter fingers after his release from the Giants.
Where does the Giants secondary rank among the team’s position groups following the release of James Bradberry?
Aaron Judge bet on himself. And so far, he looks set to soak the house. The slugger’s slow start to the season after contract talks with the Yankees broke down is long forgotten. Now all he does is deliver big moments on the march to October — and to a massive contract when he hits … Continued
Noah Syndergaard is apparently still mad at the Mets. The Angels right-hander fired an out-of-nowhere shot at his old club Tuesday night after teammate Reid Detmers tossed the season’s first solo no-hitter against the Rays. It is the second overall no-no in the big leagues this year after the Mets’ combined effort against the Phillies … Continued
Jabari Smith Jr. is the best prospect in the 2022 NBA Draft, hands down. There are other talented players in this class who we will cover in the coming days, but there is no one quite like Smith. While he isn’t close to where he can be as a finished product, he has the skill … Continued
Tom Brady is going to make more money talking about the NFL than playing in it. The seven-time Super Bowl champion will get a 10-year, $375 million contract to be FOX’s lead NFL analyst upon his retirement, according to The Post’s Andrew Marchand. It’s the largest payday for an NFL broadcaster ever, more than doubling … Continued
New York online sports betting should soon be operating at full capacity for the first time since its January launch. During its Q1 earnings call, Bally’s CEO Lee Fenton announced the company intends to finally launch Bally Bet in New York by the end of Q2. Bally’s Should Launch Before June is Out The second … Continued
Everything remains copacetic at WFAN. Gregg Giannotti handwaved the suggestion he or partner Boomer Esiason would take umbrage at Craig Carton’s reported new Fox Sports 1 morning show — a program that presumably will have overlap with the CBS Sports Network simulcast broadcast of Esiason and Giannotti. “I would think if someone said, ‘Craig Carton … Continued
Tom Brady is headed to the booth … eventually. FOX dropped a bombshell on its earnings call Tuesday, announcing the seven-time Super Bowl winner will become its lead NFL analyst upon his retirement. Whenever Brady is done playing, he will join Kevin Burkhardt to form the network’s No. 1 broadcast team. Brady has signed “a long-term … Continued
Twenty wins later, the Yankees are officially legit. Not even a slight power outage stopped them against the Rangers. The Yankees scored only five runs in three games, yet still took two out of three after two rainouts and rescheduling galore. Next up: Two quick games at home against the Blue Jays. New York took two … Continued
The James Bradberry crisis is over. Giants general manager Joe Schoen has finally come to peace with the fact he won’t be able to trade the cornerback and has released him, according to The Athletic. Bradberry’s exit frees up a little over $10 million in desperately-needed salary cap space. It feels safe to say Schoen … Continued
Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward learned what happens when you whine and complain in New York: You will get called out, and hard. Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay did the honors this time. Why? Well, Woodward was a sore loser on Sunday after Gleyber Torres’ walk-off home run barely cleared the fence in right field. Woodward not … Continued
Craig Carton’s WFAN comeback was largely telegraphed even before his conviction and prison stint for federal fraud charges. It always seemed like a matter of when, and not if, he would return to the station. But a national show on Fox Sports 1? No one was predicting that. But it will happen this fall, according … Continued
There have not been any Devils-leaving-New Jersey rumors in a while, but it’s hard to imagine they won’t come back around at some point. And understandably so. They are, as The Post’s Larry Brooks recently put it, the least-relevant major sports franchise in North America. The Devils have made the playoffs once in the last … Continued
In just a little under four months, New York online sports betting has recorded over $6 billion in total handle. Since its Jan. 8 launch, New York has accepted over $6.27 billion in total online sports betting handle, according to the New York State Gaming Commission. The state has eclipsed $1 billion in total online … Continued
We will start the week with a local hockey bombshell. Barry Trotz has gotten the sack. The Islanders axed the Stanley Cup-winning coach on Monday morning after four seasons. The news came in an unceremonious one-sentence tweet because that’s how Isles emperor Lou Lamoriello operates. The Isles missed the playoffs this season for myriad reasons. … Continued
The New Jersey Generals (who do not play in New Jersey) were supposed to be the dregs of the new USFL (which has no ties to the old USFL). The Generals opened the fledgling spring league’s inaugural season at +750 to win its championship, and CBS Sports had them dead-last in their preseason power rankings … Continued
Joe Schoen has already made various offensive line moves. Could the futures of Shane Lemieux, Nick Gates, Matt Peart, etc. be up in the air?

Buck Showalter had Francisco Lindor’s back. The Mets manager’s defense of his star player after Lindor took a pitch to the face during the season-opening series in Washington won the shortstop over, MLB Network’s Harold Reynolds said during an interview with WFAN’s Tiki Barber and Brandon Tierney. And he believes that is a big reason … Continued

Pedro Martinez is still gleefully playing the villain. “As soon as they see me they go, ‘Who’s your daddy?’” the Hall of Famer told The Steam Room podcast about his current day run-ins with Yankees fans. “If I go now and sit in the stands, they’ll go, ‘Hey Pedro, who’s your daddy?’” Martinez brought the … Continued

That amazin’ Mets comeback may be very bad news for a former Yankee. The Mets scored seven runs in the top of the ninth to stun the Phillies, 8-7, on Thursday night in Philadelphia. But while they were celebrating the latest highlight of the rollicking Buck Showalter era, it sure felt like Joe Girardi moved … Continued
The Rangers are headed to Pittsburgh on even footing. And they will likely still be a tad feisty when they get there. The Blueshirts used a pair of third-period goals to run away from the Penguins, 5-2, on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. The victory squares the Eastern Conference first-round series at 1-1 entering … Continued
Their 11-game winning streak is over, but the Yankees still return home with the best record in baseball. And they’re set up to keep winning this weekend. The Rangers are coming to town for a three-game series starting Friday night in the Bronx. And for a team that spent over $500 million in free agency, … Continued
Aaron Boone got his money’s worth after his ejection from the Yankees’ 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays in Toronto on Wednesday night. But MLB Network’s Harold Reynolds believes there is more to the story than Boone flipping out over home plate umpire Marty Foster’s strike zone. “I think we’re starting to really see Aaron … Continued
Angry Phillies fans may get their wish sooner rather than later. Joe Girardi was lustily booed Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Ballpark when he yanked Zack Wheeler after 7 2/3 scoreless innings – and just 78 pitches. He then watched his bullpen blow the game in the 10th inning as the Rangers won, 2-1, to … Continued
The cap-strapped Giants will need to cut James Bradberry.
The 2022 NBA Draft is almost here and there is a clear-cut group at the top. Jabari Smith Jr., Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren and Jaden Ivey are the top four picks here. Obviously, there is going to be some movement as the draft approaches. Here’s a quick look at what my board looks like. 1. … Continued
We now have a Ben Simmons hot stove league. The Nets guard will have back surgery on Thursday. The specific procedure is a microdiscectomy. That is when small fragments of disc, bone and ligament are removed to reduce the pressure a herniated disc puts on a nerve, according to the Hospital for Special Surgery. Simmons will … Continued
Joe Schoen’s WFAN afternoon drive appearance on Wednesday was, by NFL general manager standards, a pretty newsy spot. Schoen said the Giants should move on from James Bradberry by the end of the week and was candid about the lack of a trade market for the cornerback. He also gave Daniel Jones another full-throated endorsement, … Continued
The love some Yankees fans have for Aaron Judge knows no bounds. Just ask this young fan at Tuesday night’s win in Toronto. Judge hit a game-tying home run, a Blue Jays fan caught it, then gave it to him before tears and a hug. How wonderfully Canadian, right? You love to see it! A … Continued
