Everyone is talking about the baseball again. Offenses are struggling across the big leagues and Mets hitters have been plunked an astonishing 19 times in 20 games. The ball is believed to be too dead and too slick in a post-Spider Tack world, creating yet another silly, completely avoidable crisis. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal took … Continued
Mike Francesa invented Radio Row. And now he’s revolutionizing the podcast promotion game. https://twitter.com/MikeFrancesa/status/1519674528439353345 Yes, that is a screenshot of Francesa’s NFL draft preview with ex-Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum playing on an iPhone. That is also a red circle noting where Francesa needs to click in order to share the podcast to Twitter and … Continued
Who is Big Blue drafting in our new Giants-only 7-round mock?
The bulk of the local NFL Draft focus is on the Giants‘ plans. But the Jets have more pressure riding as they attack their own pair of top-10 picks. General manager Joe Douglas believes he has his quarterback and a roster that, on paper, is closer to being playoff-caliber. If Zach Wilson makes significant strides … Continued
Cardinals manager Oli Marmol had this to say following his team’s bench-clearing brawl with the Mets Wednesday.
Stubby Clapp should be thankful Pete Alonso showed restraint. Alonso was in the thick of the Mets-Cardinals bench-clearing incident, mere hours after he was plunked in the head. Clapp, the Cardinals’ first base coach, was ejected after he threw Alonso to the ground during the mild skirmish. “I got pulled from behind,” Alonso told reporters … Continued
Buck Showalter was salty — as you would expect — after the Mets‘ getaway game. The Amazins lost to the Cardinals, 10-5. JD Davis left the game after becoming the latest Met to be hit by a pitch. And the benches cleared with some light scuffling after reliever Yoan Lopez brushed back Nolan Arenado in … Continued
The benches have cleared after Yoan López threw up and in at Nolan Arenado. pic.twitter.com/VieEPQSKuu — SNY (@SNYtv) April 27, 2022 SNY analyst Ron Darling said it was going to get ugly over the final two innings of Wednesday’s Mets-Cardinals game. And he was right. JD Davis was hit in the left foot in the … Continued
Taking a look at seven draft prospects the Jets could consider in the first round.
The Giants continue to take their sweet time with Daniel Jones‘ fifth-year option. But it sounds like a decision will be made — if not necessarily announced — hours before the NFL draft. The braintrust will meet with ownership Thursday and make the call, according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini. The Giants have until Monday, May … Continued
Laremy Tunsil wants to flip the script on the wildest moment in NFL draft history. The Texans offensive tackle announced Wednesday he is turning his infamous gas mask bong video — which was leaked right before the start of the 2016 NFL Draft and tanked his stock — into a non-fungible token that will be … Continued
Everyone knows Anthony Rizzo was born to be a Yankee. He’s been a great fit for the team ever since being acquired from the Cubs last summer. Even better, Rizzo re-signed with the team he rooted for as a child, inking a two-year, $32 million deal in free agency. It’s proven a great signing for … Continued
Mike Francesa never forgets. The WFAN legend brought much more than a peashooter on his latest BetRivers podcast. Francesa torched former Giants general manager Dave Gettleman out of the (relative) blue while chatting about the NFL draft with Sports Illustrated reporter Albert Breer, alleging Gettleman blackballed him from access to the team during his disastrous … Continued
The Yankees doth protest too much. SNY’s Andy Martino has obtained the soon-to-be-unsealed MLB sign-stealing letter. And based on his reporting, it’s hard to understand why the Yankees wasted so much time and energy — and probably spent a decent left-handed bat’s worth of money on attorneys — fighting to keep the correspondence under wraps. … Continued
Going away to college is a transformative experience. For many, it’s a four-year period where we transition from kids to adults. JR Smith skipped college to go straight to the NBA. The NBA champion is getting his college experience a bit later than most Americans, but he’s making the most of it. The former New … Continued
Will Joe Douglas use his fourth overall pick on this defensive end?
A typical early-season Tuesday MLB slate is not going to generate much excitement, but today is different. The BetMGM MLB promo that is active right now will change your perspective. This promotion will pay a $200 bonus for a $10 moneyline bet if a homerun is hit in the game. This BetMGM MLB promo is … Continued
Kendrick Perkins came to play. The former NBA big man put the take in ESPN First Take during Tuesday’s Nets postmortem. Perkins called for Kevin Durant to force his way out of Brooklyn and demand a trade to escape the Kyrie Irving-Ben Simmons-Steve Nash circus. “Kevin Durant deserves better. If I’m Kevin Durant, I want … Continued
The Giants are set to have their eyes on these seven draft prospects in the first round.
Steve Nash might be coming back to the Brooklyn Nets next season, but he shouldn’t after an embarrassing sweep.
Fresh off a sweep of the Guardians, the Yankees now seek redemption against the Orioles. It was less than two weeks ago that the Bronx Bombers visited Camden Yards and lost two of three to the perenially tanking Birds. The bats struggled to make good contact and, even worse, the Yankees outscored the Orioles 6-4 … Continued
Everything is coming up Mets. The Amazins put together a five-run rally with two outs in the top of the ninth to stun the Cardinals, 5-2, on Monday night in St. Louis. And then came the real victory: Jacob deGrom is apparently on the road to recovery. The ace’s recent MRI and CT scans showed … Continued
NBA fans are freaking out because Scott Foster is set to officiate Game 4 between the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics.
Mike Francesa would like the Yankees to end Joey Gallo’s misery — and their own. The former WFAN host called on general manager Brian Cashman to find a way to trade the struggling outfielder on his latest BetRivers podcast. The big guy declared that Gallo “doesn’t belong” in New York amid his horrific start to this … Continued
Mike Francesa is not letting Kevin Durant off the hook. The Nets star’s legacy has taken a major hit with his poor play amid the team’s playoff collapse, the former WFAN voice said on his latest BetRivers podcast. And it will take work to restore the luster he has lost. “Durant has hurt his legacy. He … Continued
Money talks. An NFL game streamed by Amazon Prime on Black Friday is now a foregone conclusion, according to NBC’s Peter King. It may not happen this year, but it will almost certainly be on the schedule in 2023. This comes after the owners quietly cut through some red tape at the recent league meeting … Continued
Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney is in the building.
The whole Nets circus is so fascinating to watch. Locally, no one really cares. But nationally, it’s a big deal. And Ben Simmons‘ aversion to playing basketball has brought out the absolute best in Stephen A. Smith. “Nobody is worse than Ben Simmons,” Smith said Monday on ESPN First Take. “Ben Simmons might also be … Continued
Steve Nash should be in his final days as Nets coach, according to Stephen A. Smith. “Steve Nash has to go,” Smith said Monday on ESPN’s First Take, hours before the Nets will host the Celtics in an elimination game at Barclays Center, down 3-0 to Boston in the best-of-seven first-round playoff series. “I like … Continued
A report last week suggested the Giants were looking to trade wide receiver Kadarius Toney.
The Yankees just swept the Guardians and Isiah Kiner-Falefa was the no-doubt MVP of the three-game set. He was already on a hot streak entering the series, batting .437 in his previous five games before Friday. His batting average had jumped from .174 to .282. Now he heads into Monday’s day off at .300. How … Continued
Todd McShay has a better read on Joe Douglas than most. The ESPN analyst was college teammates with the Jets general manager at Richmond. And while McShay says he has not — and would never — ask Douglas direct questions about his plans for this week’s 2022 NFL draft, he does have some ideas. Would … Continued
Check out our final first-round mock picks with the 2022 NFL Draft approaching.
Stephen A. Smith is pulling no punches. The ESPN analyst crushed Ben Simmons on Sunday after the Nets scrapped the mercurial star’s much-hyped debut in rather predictable fashion. “I feel bad for anyone who was his teammate,” Smith said. “He quit on LSU, he quit on the Philadelphia 76ers and now he ain’t showing up for … Continued
This was completely predictable. Ben Simmons‘ comeback is over before it started. The Nets and their mercurial guard have pulled the plug on his long-awaited return to the floor just over 24 hours before it was scheduled to occur. Simmons will not play in Monday’s playoff game against the Celtics at Barclays Center — the … Continued
Yankees fans find a way to ruin everything, even under happy circumstances. The team’s 5-4 walk-off win over the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday was overshadowed quickly after Gleyber Torres laced a single to right. Cameras caught fans throwing garbage at Cleveland’s outfielders, so much that Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton left the celebration to put … Continued

The Charles Cross buzz could be strategic subterfuge by the Giants. It could be accurate pre-draft intel. Or perhaps it falls somewhere in the middle, as these things often do. Whatever the truth is, it figures to have an outsized role in defining general manager Joe Schoen’s first NFL draft. If Schoen is truly enamored … Continued
After stops to see the Mets and Yankees, is Immanuel Quickley becoming the biggest baseball fan in New York?
Yung Joka is reportedly on the way out. The Giants have had enough of Kadarius Toney and are working to trade the wide receiver, according to Pat Leonard of the Daily News. This comes after the 2021 first-round pick did not attend the team’s voluntary minicamp this past week. Toney has been an offseason program … Continued
Ben Simmons is confident about how he fits with the Brooklyn Nets as he prepares to make his season debut.
Kudos to WFAN’s Gregg Giannotti for telling the truth about the Yankees amid their mostly joyless start. “Speaking of one eye open, that’s how I watch the Yankees,” he said on Friday morning. “Because I’m generally falling asleep watching them, because they are one of the most boring teams in baseball. … They’re poorly constructed, … Continued
RJ Barrett speaks highly of Tom Thibodeau on an appearance on JJ Redick’s podcast “The Old Man and the Three.”
