Anyone paying attention to the Yankees has Harrison Bader on the mind, and why wouldn’t they? The spunky center fielder is batting .333 with three home runs, 11 RBI and a 1.021 OPS in 13 games since returning from a strained oblique. This is also probably a good time to mention that Bader is in … Continued
The song remains the same. WFAN a lot, ESPN Radio New York a little. The first month of the spring book continued WFAN's dominance over ESPN NY. Mornings: B&G (1st/15.2) D&R (11th/3.6) Mid-Mornings: B&T (4th/6.1) ESPN (13th/2.6) Afternoons: C&R (2nd/7.4) Kay (14th/2.8) — Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) May 15, 2023 Quick thoughts: • That is a … Continued
Two years ago Fanatics Betting and Gaming was denied a New York online sports betting license. Rather than wait for additional operators to be granted access to the state, the sportsbook operator took action into its own hands. Over the weekend, Fanatics agreed to acquire the U.S. assets of Australian-based PointsBet for $150 million, and … Continued
In case you’ve been living under a rock, it feels like the sky is falling in Queens when it comes to the Mets. As recently as April 21st, they were 14-7 and in the midst of a successful West Coast road trip. But since then, things have gotten ugly. They limp back home to Citi … Continued
At the conclusion of the 2022 regular season, the Jets knew their All-Pro defensive tackle, Quinnen Williams, wanted a new contract. And even though he’s under contract for the next three years, he wanted that next payday to come before Week 1 of 2023. Right before the NFL Draft, it sounded like both sides were … Continued
If you’re a Mets fan, then you’ve probably interacted with The 7 Line in some way, shape, or form. Whether it’s by buying a piece of merch, sitting with The 7 Line Army during a game, or tailgating with them before heading into the park. As they do every year, they’re hitting the road for … Continued
If Mickey Mouse signs your check, do not use the C-word at work. From Page Six: Local New York anchor Ken Rosato was axed from ABC 7 for allegedly referring to his co-anchor Shirleen Allicot with a four-letter word, sources exclusively tell Page Six. The longtime local “Eyewitness News This Morning” anchor was “immediately fired” … Continued
When the explanation about something that appears to be nefarious is stupid, it is usually the truth. So we believe Aaron Judge when he says he was looking toward the Yankees’ dugout on Monday night in Toronto because his teammates wouldn’t shut up. That said: If Judge was actually peering over because the Bombers had … Continued
The Yankees are fourth in the AL East and 7.5 games behind the first-place Rays on May 16. And yet, it’s hard to not be cautiously optimistic about the Bronx Bombers, perhaps even fervently. A series loss at Tropicana Field and series split at Yankee Stadium later, we can now say the quiet part out … Continued
The Mets’ recent stretch of games against losing teams is officially done. Things didn’t go that well, but the season isn’t over yet. But now, they get thrown right back into the fire by facing MLB’s best team: the Tampa Bay Rays. Here’s what the probable pitchers look like at the moment. There could be … Continued
There is going to be another conference expansion upheaval over the next few weeks. We just don’t know what the magnitude will be. At the least, the Pac-12 figures to add San Diego State as long as it can get a new television deal. It could bring in SMU as well. But we could also … Continued
Aaron Judge continues to hit the ball well since returning from the injured list last week. The reigning AL MVP has two solo home runs tonight as his Yankees face the rival Blue Jays in Toronto. Judge’s second home run came in the eighth inning and was an absolute tape measure shot to dead center. … Continued
The Knicks’ season ended Friday night in Miami. Then came this wildly pathetic and sadly predictable move on Saturday. Knicks planning to not invite media to their exit interviews again. No postseason interviews with Thibodeau, players or Leon. — Stefan Bondy (@SbondyNBA) May 13, 2023 Bondy’s tweet spurred the responses you would expect. Some Knicks … Continued
The Mets’ offense finally showed some life at Nationals Park on Sunday afternoon. After losing Game 1 of a split doubleheader by a score of 3-2, New York produced an eight-run outburst in the fifth inning of Game 2. They used that to coast to an 8-2 victory in Max Scherzer’s return to the mound. … Continued
As Jets fans continue to come down from the high of Aaron Rodgers being the starting quarterback, how are other things going in Jets Land? On the eve of the NFL Draft, it sounded like things were progressing with defensive tackle Quinnen Williams on a new contract. But then, we got wind that an agreement … Continued
It has been an intriguing Monday morning on the Saquon Barkley front. Barkley’s agent, Kim Miale, made what appears to be her first public comment on the running back’s contract standoff with the Giants on Saturday. She tweeted “this is not true” at a fan who quoted a story citing a report Barkley is seeking … Continued
The 76ers got humiliated by the Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Sunday. And during the destruction, the Nets’ Ben Simmons decided to throw some Instagram Story shade toward his old team. Stephen A. Smith was not amused. “Shameful,” he opined on Monday’s edition of “ESPN First Take” when asked about Simmons’ … Continued
Mark Jackson is going to interview for the Bucks’ head coaching job. That has us thinking: Could Jackson be a Knicks double agent of sorts if he gets the gig? Jackson has not coached in a decade after a tumultuous end to his time with the Warriors for myriad reasons. All of which seem to … Continued
With a struggling offense at the big-league level, the Mets recently signed catcher/DH Gary Sanchez to a minor-league deal. The former Yankee slugger reported to Triple-A and has suited up for five games with the Syracuse Mets thus far. It feels like he just landed in the organization, which is true. However, general manager Billy … Continued
The Knicks’ magic ran out on Friday against the Miami Heat. After winning Game 5 at Madison Square Garden to avoid elimination, New York couldn’t do the same thing in Game 6 down in South Beach. But at least it wasn’t a blowout. When your favorite team gets eliminated, you go through the five stages … Continued
Which current Giants could face the unfortunate reality of getting cut before the 2023 regular season?
Baseball-wise, nothing changed in four games between the Yankees and Rays at Yankee Stadium in a long weekend series. Both teams each won two games and the standings remain the same. The Yankees are astonishingly last in the AL East, eight games behind first-place Tampa Bay. But unlike last weekend’s trip to Tropicana Field, there’s … Continued
After getting their butts whooped in the series opener last Thursday, the Yankees did a good job of securing a split of their four-game set with the Rays. Now, the Bombers hit the road for a seven-game road trip with a 23-18 record. Their first matchup will take place north of the border against the … Continued
The Knicks’ season is over after losing Game 6 of the East Semis to the Miami Heat on Friday and if you ask the fans, it’s all Julius Randle’s fault. Video surfaced online of fans outside Madison Square Garden defacing, tearing down, and then stomping a poster of Randle. #Knicks fans deface and stomp on … Continued
ESPN has released its best 100 picks of the 2023 NFL Draft, and two Giants selections are in the top 15.
WABC-7 has canned morning show stalwart Ken Rosato for saying something he should not have. What, exactly, remains to be seen.

Jalen Brunson did all he could with a 41-point effort, but turned the ball over with 16 seconds remaining and his Knicks down by two points. The Heat won Game 6 96-92 and will face either the Celtics or 76ers in the Conference Finals. New York performed well in the first quarter, but stumbled the … Continued
The Yankees continue their four-game set with the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night in the Bronx. After losing 8-2 on Thursday, the Bombers could use a stopper to swing momentum in their direction. That’s where Gerrit Cole comes in to (hopefully) save the day. And if he gets on one of his patented roles, … Continued
Everyone was pumped when the Yankees landed Carlos Rodon on a six-year, $162 million contract. The excitement to watch him don the pinstripes at Yankee Stadium only increased upon hearing him at his introductory press conference. And then, the injury bug hit. After just two innings in spring training, he was sidelined with a left … Continued
Giants fans do not want to hear this — and understandably so — but the team has regression written all over it this fall. The latest sign? How the NFL drew up its 2023 season schedule. The Giants have five primetime dates on their slate. Four of them will be played in the first six … Continued
One of the cool facets of the NFL’s annual schedule release? The creative reveal videos each team’s social media crew cooks up. The Chargers are arguably the best at it. And they clearly have someone who knows way too much about the Jets. Because the Bolts chose violence with the Gang Green portion of this … Continued
Things have been rough for the Mets in recent weeks. On April 21st, they were 14-7 and sitting pretty with two games left on their West Coast road trip. But since that moment, they’ve seemingly forgotten how to play consistently good baseball. New York has posted a 4-13 record since Joey Lucchesi tossed a gem … Continued
While there were plenty of leaks to keep us occupied, the 2023 NFL schedule was officially released Thursday night for all 32 teams. The Aaron Rodgers effect played a big role for the Jets when it came to primetime games. However, the first six weeks of New York’s season will be no walk in the … Continued
Believe it or not, the Mets actually won a game in Cincinnati! Unfortunately, that was all they were able to do. After scoring six runs in the series opener, the offense went silent for the final two games, scoring twice in the victory and nothing in the finale. Now, New York heads to DC for … Continued
College sports are college sporting in Queens. From ESPN: Former St. John’s men’s basketball coach Mike Anderson is seeking nearly $46 million from the school after he claims he was fired with cause in March only so the school could avoid paying his buyout and use the money to hire Rick Pitino, per arbitration documents … Continued
While the Mets wanted no part of actually spending time in Cincinnati, it would’ve been nice if they won more baseball games before skipping town. If it wasn’t for a Justin Verlander gem on Wednesday night, New York could’ve easily gotten swept right out of Great American Ball Park. They scored six runs for the … Continued
Instead of usual series takeaways on the Yankees’ unceremonious sweep of the Oakland Athletics, I’d like to instead talk about the rich history between both teams. Or, rather, the slow depreciation of that history with the A’s headed to Las Vegas in 2027. Who needs a longstanding legacy in a city with passionate fans when … Continued
MLB teams agree to trades with the best of intentions. Unfortunately, those intentions don’t always work out. That happened with the Yankees and outfielder Joey Gallo. But, there’s still a chance for Gallo to have some sort of positive legacy in the Bronx. New York acquired the left-handed slugger at the 2021 trade deadline. The … Continued
WFAN’s Evan Roberts (and co-host Craig Carton) caused an internet stir earlier this week when he suggested the Rays could be cheating amid their blistering start to the season. We did not write anything about it because anyone who listened could easily decipher Roberts was not being serious. This was not a page out of … Continued
The impending Shohei Ohtani free agency drama will be the top MLB storyline this upcoming winter. But what about potential trade rumors? Whenever the superstar becomes available, we can be sure that the Yankees and Mets will be picking up the phone to make a call. Their respective seasons haven’t started in an ideal manner. … Continued
The Rangers canned Gerard Gallant after a disappointing first-round loss to the Devils. They aren’t going to hire disgraced former Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville. And they probably won’t hire franchise immortal Mark Messier. How about Patrick Roy? Yes, that Patrick Roy. From ESPN: So here’s the latest name floating around the Rangers. Roy was the … Continued
Justin Verlander gave the Mets what they sorely needed on Wednesday night in Cincinnati: some length from the starting rotation. But once his night was done following seven strong innings, he put his trust in the bullpen. Specifically, it was Adam Ottavino in the eighth and then David Robertson in the ninth. They strung together … Continued
A “prominent” NFL agent has something to say about Saquon Barkley turning down reported Giants contract offers.
NYCFC is finally getting its own stadium. We already knew this was happening, that it’d be across from Citi Field in Flushing, and the venue would open up in 2027. But now, we’ve got some pictures to check out so we can get a glimpse of what NYCFC’s new home will look like. That in … Continued
It will be a busy opening weekend under the light at MetLife Stadium in September. The Giants will kick off the 2023 NFL season against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, according to The Record. And the league has already announced the Jets (and Aaron Rodgers) will host the Bills on Monday Night Football. Not … Continued
The Jets are sure to get some primetime games now that Aaron Rodgers is in town. Who could they face in the late window?
The Yankees returned to the Bronx after a hard-fought series loss to the Rays with an opportunity. Before welcoming Tampa Bay to Yankee Stadium the upcoming weekend, they could get themselves back on track against the Oakland Athletics. That’s exactly what they did by sweeping their three-game set. Now they’re ready for Round 2 vs. … Continued
