As bad as the Mets have been in recent weeks, at least fans can take solace in having baseball’s best owner in Steve Cohen, right? It’s not like the Wilpons are still running the club. They practically strived for mediocrity. As we heard and saw during Tuesday night’s game vs. the Rays, fans are fed … Continued
The Mets probably shouldn’t be participating in nationally televised games with the way they’re playing right now. It’s going to happen anyways this weekend. New York will be hosting the Cleveland Guardians on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. Andrew Marchand of the New York Post is reporting that Jeff McNeil will be providing an in-game interview, … Continued
Once again, the Blue Jays prove to be all talk when it comes to their “rivalry” with the Yankees. The latest drama happened Monday night, after which Toronto accused New York of stealing signs ahead of an Aaron Judge home run. The beef was that in the Yankees’ 7-4 win, the team’s base coaches stood … Continued
All eyes were on Yankees slugger Aaron Judge Tuesday night in Toronto. His mere presence (and premier power) draws a lot of attention anyways. But, it was probably a little more this time around because of his darting eyes during an at-bat from Monday night. It happened right before he slugged a 462-foot tank. While … Continued
Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner is an interesting guy, almost the polar opposite of his bombastic father George. However, the younger Steinbrenner is far from absent, as he said on “The Show” podcast with Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman, both of the Post. In fact, Steinbrenner is pretty focused from the start of the season. Better … Continued
Stephen A. Smith is not done. “The only thing worse than James Harden was that sorry trifling ass Ben Simmons,” the ESPN star declared on his “Know Mercy” podcast, trashing the Nets’ mercurial guard yet again for his Instagram Live shade during the 76ers’ disastrous Game 7 playoff loss to the Celtics. Simmons posted a … Continued
Hal Steinbrenner took some time out of his day to talk about the Yankees, their start to 2023, and other things with New York Post writers Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman on “The Show” podcast. One of the topics that came up was manager Aaron Boone and his standing within the organization. That’s always an … Continued
Mets fans have been fed up with how the squad has performed for a while. Unfortunately, New York didn’t make any significant moves to try and change their fortune — until now. After another embarrassing showing at Citi Field on Tuesday, ESPN’s Jeff Passan has reported that Mark Vientos is finally getting the call from … Continued
Another NBA offseason is upon us and the Knicks are, by recent standards, in uncharted waters. The upcoming NBA Draft is almost an afterthought. How to approach next season, rather, is not. No need for a scoring point guard. Jalen Brunson signed a max deal last summer and was instrumental in the team making it … Continued
We need to talk about Gleyber Torres again. And yes, it’s that talk. Torres’ latest offense? Mishandling what should have been an easy double-play ball in the eighth inning of Monday’s game in Toronto. Torres’ Yankees won 7-4, but were leading 7-0 before his error led to the Blue Jays’ rally. And on the hitting side, … Continued
The Mets returned home to Queens to start a three-game series on Tuesday night with the Tampa Bay Rays. Unfortunately, it was more of the same story from the past few weeks. The fans were clearly fed up, and the same could be said about the Citi Field scoreboard. Tuesday’s series opener followed a familiar … Continued
Aaron Judge sent this one to the moon 🚀🚀🚀 pic.twitter.com/zmf1wzjx1X — YES Network (@YESNetwork) May 17, 2023 Aaron Judge’s beef with the Blue Jays continued in Tuesday’s game. In the seventh inning, Judge launched a two-run home run to center field. Statcast measured it at 448 feet with an exit velocity of 113.1 mph. This … Continued

Craig Carton just delivered some tremendous New York sports media — and Yankees — gossip. The WFAN afternoon drive host said Bombers television voice Michael Kay and radio voice John Sterling are now “at war” after an incident at a recent team event. Carton’s scoop, which he said comes from a friend who attended the … Continued
The Knicks’ 2022-23 season came to an unfortunate end on Friday at the hands of the Miami Heat. But hey, it could’ve been a lot worse. They could’ve gotten eliminated from the NBA Playoffs like the Philadelphia 76ers did. After failing to close the door on the Celtics in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference … Continued
The Yankees began a seven-game road trip by defeating the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night by a score of 7-4. Aaron Judge made his mark with two home runs (and his second one was an absolute moonshot). It didn’t come without controversy, and ESPN’s Buster Olney provided an explanation on Tuesday morning. He did … Continued
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. From Page Six: Ken Rosato, longtime anchor of “Eyewitness News This Morning” on New York’s WABC 7, has been given the boot after allegedly making an off-color remark, Page Six has exclusively learned. Rosato … Continued

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
