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.

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.

Justin Verlander gave the Mets what they sorely needed on Wednesday night in Cincinnati: some length from the starting rotation.

They strung together … Continued
A “prominent” NFL agent has something to say about Saquon Barkley turning down reported Giants contract offers.
