It is debatable whether Jeff Bezos was ever in the running to buy the Commanders from the disgraced Daniel Snyder. But the Amazon billionaire is now unquestionably out of the mix, according to multiple reports. Bezos’ exit from a competition he may or may not have ever been engaged in appears to clear the road … Continued
The Mets’ 2023 season is only 13 games old. It’s had some ups and downs already, evidenced by a 7-6 record before starting a West Coast road trip on Friday. New York still has some questions to answer regarding the roster. One that should be answered by now, though, is why isn’t Brett Baty playing … Continued
Outside of getting their butts whooped in Milwaukee, the Mets’ pitching staff has performed well to start the 2023 season. A big reason for that is Tylor Megill shining in the opportunity Justin Verlander gave him by hitting the injured list. How close is the reigning American League Cy Young winner from making his Mets … Continued
The Yankees come back home after a successful first road trip of the 2023 season. New York hasn’t yet swept an opponent in any of their first four head-to-head matchups. However, they also haven’t lost a series yet. Not everyone can be the Tampa Bay Rays right now, but the Bombers are among the next-best … Continued
The Mets arrived at Citi Field on getaway day with one of two options: finish their first 2023 homestand off on a solid note, or head west with a sour taste in their mouth. Thankfully for New York — and everyone in attendance — the Amazins choose Door Number 1. The squad’s 5-2 win over … Continued
Yankees manager Aaron Boone had more to say about the umpires’ handling of a replay review on Wednesday than he did his team’s 4-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor’s first-inning blooper to center appeared to be caught by Aaron Hicks, who then doubled Jose Ramirez off second base before a … Continued
The right call was made in the end, and it did not cost the Yankees a getaway game win over the Guardians. But still … what the eff? Here’s a rundown of the controversial overturned double play that turned into two Cleveland runs in the first inning, as well as explanations and reactions from all involved following … Continued
Saquon Barkley will stay at home when the Giants open their offseason program next week, according to Newsday. Which should surprise absolutely no one. The only leverage Barkley has is his presence. He is not on the Giants’ roster until he signs his franchise tag tender. And he is under no obligation — mandated or … Continued
Aaron Hicks had a good night. The embattled outfielder started, notched two hits, scored two runs and the Yankees steamrolled the Guardians, 11-2, on Tuesday in Cleveland. And then the world was reminded why the Bombers need to do the merciful thing and move Hicks out off town as soon as possible. From NJ.com after … Continued
The Giants should be focusing on their glaring void at cornerback when they’re on the clock in the first round.
Rick Wolff, who hosted the Sunday morning “Sports Edge” program on WFAN, died Monday. He was 71. His family said he passed away after “a brief battle with brain cancer.” Wolff — the son of legendary broadcaster Bob Wolff — hosted his youth sports-focused show for over 20 years. Most WFAN listeners will remember the … Continued

The Yankees will have to wait on free agent signee Carlos Rodon just a bit longer. Manager Aaron Boone met with reporters on Tuesday and said the big lefty is now dealing with a sore back while rehabbing a left forearm strain. The good news is it’s minor and should only delay his return by … Continued

Aaron Hicks has to go. And he will go. That is not in doubt. His existence with the Yankees has become irreversibly toxic. A separation is inevitable. But when? That is the pressing — and somewhat frightening — question. An optimistic review of the pertinent facts could lead one to surmise Hicks has entered his … Continued
The wide receiver-needy Giants passing up on the position in both the first and second rounds of the 2023 NFL draft? That is what ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. believes could happen. He has Big Blue shoring up its secondary and interior offensive line in his newest two-round mock draft. Kiper has the Giants nabbing Michigan … Continued
The Knickerbockers are back in the NBA playoffs. Game 1 against Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers is Saturday in Cleveland. It has been a good season. Twelve games over .500, the 5-seed in the Eastern Conference, a borderline MVP season from Jalen Brunson, potential Sixth Man of the Year Immanuel Quickley, a boatload of future … Continued
Domingo German is long past the point of being worth anything to the Yankees. And yet, odds are he’ll spend most if not all of the season in pinstripes. German made his second start of the year in Cleveland on Monday and was once again ineffective. He pitched into the fourth inning, undone by five … Continued
There may soon come a time when the Yankees and Orioles are bitter rivals again, but that didn’t happen in the two AL East teams’ first series of 2023. The Yankees entered Camden Yards, put up a strong effort in a Friday loss, and then won the next two games to take the series. The … Continued
The Knicks open the playoffs in six days. The only thing that matters between now and Saturday’s series opener in Cleveland? Julius Randle, of course. Will the All-Star forward be ready for the Cavaliers? It sounds like there is some early optimism. From The Post: The Knicks won’t know until later this week if they will … Continued
The Yankees have to be happy with their first intra-divisional series of the season after taking two of three from the Orioles. The effort was strong even in Friday’s loss. New York’s lineup worked consistently good at-bats. The pitching, especially the bullpen, held tough after an elbow injury shut down Jonathan Loaisiga. Everyone’s role is … Continued
The Yankees are rolling, folks. While they’re not beating opponents in the same way the Tampa Bay Rays are right now, winning three straight series to start the year ain’t too shabby. Aaron Judge is hitting homers and the Bombers are winning. All is right with the world, yes? New York now travels to Cleveland … Continued
While Sunday’s finale didn’t go as planned, the Mets technically got themselves back on track at Citi Field this weekend. After getting swept out of Milwaukee, they took two of three from the Marlins. So, through the first three series of 2023, the Mets have established one thing: they can beat Miami. They’re 5-2 against … Continued
First things first: You have to tip your cap to Odell Beckham Jr. and his representation. He did not get a deal from the Ravens designed solely for the NFL’s scoop merchants to breathlessly tweet out phony-baloney numbers. Fifteen million guaranteed is nothing to scoff at. It’s about $8-10 million more in hard cash than … Continued
Yankees star outfielder Aaron Judge continued his domination of the rival Orioles with a long home run to center field on Sunday. Statcast measured the solo shot at 416 feet and 105.6 mph exit velocity. Baltimore Bashin' 👨⚖️#ALLRISE pic.twitter.com/Joyk7uxOQJ — New York Yankees (@Yankees) April 9, 2023 In the eighth inning, Judge added a second … Continued
Who needs the designated hitter when you have pitchers who can rake? At least for one swing, former Mets pitcher Robert Gsellman looked like a position player using the lumber in Japan. After spending his first six years in the big leagues with New York, Gsellman appeared with the Chicago Cubs briefly in 2022. He … Continued

It’s tough to hate the state of the Brooklyn Nets. You might not love where the franchise is at, but it’s tough to hate this position after nearly four years of melodrama. Forget about the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving era, ignore the ongoing Ben Simmons saga for a moment, and appreciate the fact that … Continued
Titans DT Jeffery Simmons signed a four-year extension worth $23.5 million annually, which could up the asking prices of Dexter Lawrence and Quinnen Williams.
Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga is gearing up for the second MLB start on Saturday afternoon against the Miami Marlins. I’d say he got all the butterflies and nerves out of the way last Sunday at loanDepot Park, but maybe not. After all, this will be his first start at home in front of the … Continued
Starting pitcher Jacob deGrom no longer plays for the Mets. It was a gut punch when that initial news hit the interwebs, but so much has happened since then that the sting has lessened dramatically. It’s still there for many Mets fans, though. Especially when he shows up on any screen with his Texas Rangers … Continued

As I sit here writing this, the Mets are about to take the field for their home opener (finally). This is a game that Justin Verlander was scheduled to pitch. But since he landed on the injured list, that honor is now going to Tylor Megill. When can we expect the reigning American League Cy … Continued
With six picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, how can Jets general manager Joe Douglas improve the roster?
About a week ago, the thought of Francisco Alvarez being on the big-league roster in time for the Mets’ home opener would’ve sounded like a pipe dream. But things can change fast when it comes to baseball. Omar Narvaez got hurt during Wednesday’s finale in Milwaukee against the Brewers. While getting re-evaluated in New York … Continued
One of the biggest crimes in baseball is that Angels outfielder Mike Trout has only been to the postseason once since his MLB debut in 2011. And, it’s been nearly a decade since that lone occurrence happened. Let’s face it — we’ve all imagined him on a different team, enabling him to play October baseball … Continued
Life is pretty good right now if you’re the Yankees. Sure, they’re not 6-0 like the Tampa Bay Rays, but winning two straight series with a 4-2 record is a great outcome for the first homestand of the year. New York will now embark on a six-game road trip that’ll begin at Camden Yards against … Continued
The Mets began their 2023 campaign with a seven-game road trip. While baseball in March/April can be tricky from a weather perspective, there was certainty for New York since the club played in two stadiums with retractable roofs. Heading home to Citi Field, where there’s no roof, has already moved the home opener from Thursday … Continued
This has been inevitable since Craig Carton began pulling double-duty. But is it horrible timing for WFAN. Carton’s future at the station is in question, according to The Post. FOX is pushing to turn his FS1 morning show into his full-time — and only — gig. And, to steal from noted Carton nemesis Mike Francesa, … Continued
Thursday was supposed to be Mets Opening Day at Citi Field. It was postponed to Friday because of “rain”, but New York still made headlines. They announced a partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian, which includes an advertisement on the sleeves of player jerseys. And, even better — it’s ready just in time for the Mets’ home opener! … Continued
The question has loomed ever since Craig Carton launched his FS1 morning show: How long could or would the WFAN afternoon drive host pull double duty? We may be about to get the answer. And it could be bad news for the ‘FAN. From The Post: Craig Carton’s future on WFAN afternoons is in question. … Continued
The Jets signed Tim Boyle on Thursday. The move has sparked far more discussion than a transaction involving a journeyman 28-year-old backup quarterback in early April should. The reaction has fallen into one of two camps: 1. Boyle was Aaron Rodgers’ backup with the Packers, so this must be a sign the deal is close! … Continued
Baseball in 2023 is a much different game than ever before. The new rules have been completely revolutionizing — and, depending on who you talk to, ruining — the game. MLB has instituted a bunch of changes this season, but none have gotten more attention than the pitch clock. There’s no doubt that its presence … Continued
He’s here (again) and he’s perfect (still). In the hours after the Mets got swept out of American Family Field by the Brewers, reports surfaced of Francisco Alvarez heading from Syracuse to New York. Why, you ask? Omar Narvaez left Wednesday’s finale with a calf injury and the club was uncertain of the severity. There … Continued
The Yankees took advantage of the Phillies’ slow start, taking two of three in the teams’ only series this season. For the defending National League champions, 1-5 Philadelphia sure doesn’t look the part. Injuries have hit their pitching staff hard and their lineup harder, plus the usual World Series hangover. Not even adding Trea Turner … Continued
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s team gambled and lost on Kyrie Irving and is now fighting for a play-in berth. And how did the “Shark Tank” star keep spirits up with two must-win games remaining? He blamed Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson for his son, star point guard Jalen Brunson, not re-signing in Dallas. “Where … Continued
