With several impact players hitting free agency, we knew the Mets would be busy spending money to reload for another postseason run in 2023. But once the heavy lifting was done for the roster, many wanted Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso to get extensions. McNeil got his deal. Now we can hope the attention turns … Continued
There are far more professional athletes who enjoy one good season (or one good game) instead of a prolonged Hall of Fame career. Every Phil Simms has a Jeff Hostetler. What Derek Jeter doesn’t need his Luis Sojo? Every sport has its one-hit wonders, be they flashes in the pan or players who parlayed one … Continued
Hey, there was something to Jeff McNeil’s Citi Field visit earlier this week. The Mets have locked down the reigning National League batting champion.

The Jets-Aaron Rodgers hype train is going full steam ahead, folks. Even current players are hopping on, and you can include running back Breece Hall among the group. Wondering about the Jets’ level of interest in Rodgers began when reports surfaced of New York’s interview with Nathaniel Hackett. It only continued once he was officially … Continued
This feels like a great time to share the following quote from the movie, Moneyball: We’re all told at some point in time that we can no longer play the children’s game, we just don’t… don’t know when that’s gonna be. Some of us are told at eighteen, some of us are told at forty, … Continued
New York City is a great place that would be even greater if James Dolan sold the Knicks and Rangers, gave a boring farewell press conference and then went away. The team’s long-loathed owner is back in the headlines again for all the wrong reasons. Dolan is now in a battle with the New York … Continued
The Yankees had to re-sign Aaron Judge this winter, and they did. Do the Giants face a similar situation with Saquon Barkley? Mike Francesa says no. “If the Giants move on because they don’t want to put that kind of money in a second contract for a running back, do not ever get annoyed with … Continued
Joe Judge reportedly rankled many folks in Patriotsland. But Bill Belichick is not exiling him from the kingdom. From The Athletic: Joe Judge, who was the quarterbacks coach this season, will return to the (New England) coaching staff in a different role that has yet to be determined. Judge is one of a number of … Continued
A new day always brings new opportunities. And if you’re associated with the Nets, it’s another chance to show you’re fed up with Ben Simmons’ lack of durability. At least, that’s what it seems like head coach Jacque Vaughn did in his postgame press conference on Thursday night. After losing in Philadelphia against the 76ers … Continued
Mets Spring Training is fast approaching, folks. The equipment truck will be making its way down to Port St. Lucie starting on January 30th, and we’re less than three weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting.

Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner spoke glowingly about Aaron Rodgers. Will the star quarterback come to Florham Park?
All signs are pointing to Aaron Hicks being the Yankees’ Opening Day left fielder.

Could Giants general manager Joe Schoen extend the contracts of Dexter Lawrence, Andrew Thomas, and others this offseason?
Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has gone on quite the roller coaster between last April and now. Unlike the first three years of his NFL career, this has been an extremely fun part of the ride for him. Thanks to the Giants declining his fifth-year option in the spring, he’s about to get paid handsomely after … Continued
There are lots of people annoyed that Arte Moreno has decided against selling the Los Angeles Angels. I don’t think you can count Mets owner Steve Cohen as one of them. Moreno sticking around makes it less likely for an extension to get done with Shohei Ohtani before he hits free agency next winter. And, … Continued
All those bets on the Giants and Bills to cover this past weekend at least did a bit of good, as New York online sports betting recorded its highest weekly gross gaming revenue total ever.

The Boston Herald has dropped a juicy behind-the-scenes look at the Patriots’ offensive dysfunction and ineptitude this season.

And it all sounds quite familiar. From The Herald: … Continued
The Jets have hired Nathaniel Hackett as their new offensive coordinator. And look, he is certainly qualified. It is a reasonable decision.

James Dolan is not budging. “Not at all,” the Knicks and Rangers owner said Thursday during an appearance on FOX-5 when asked if he might back up Madison Square Garden’s controversial policy barring attorneys involved in litigation against the company and its holdings from its venues. Dolan and MSG have come under particular fire for … Continued
A lot of great things happened for the Giants this past season. There probably wasn’t a “make the playoffs and win a road game” on many 2022 NFL Bingo cards, but that’s exactly what went down. Now, general manager Joe Schoen, head coach Brian Daboll, and Co. will set out on an equally difficult task: … Continued
At the beginning of the 2022-23 NBA regular season, would you have thought Kyrie Irving would be angling for a contract extension from the Nets right now? Keeping a low profile off the court while balling out on it will do that. In fact, it sounds like Irving is trying to make it seem like … Continued
The Yankees might finally have some infield clarity for 2023. Brendan Kuty, now with The Athletic, reports super-utility man DJ LeMahieu feels “significantly better” after rehabbing a toe injury suffered last year. New York would love for the two-time batting champion to be back in top form at the top of the lineup. So who’s … Continued

Who could play quarterback for the Jets in what should be a crucial 2023 season?
James Dolan and Madison Square Garden may actually have to answer for their creepy and vindictive use of facial-recognition technology now. New York Attorney General Letitia James has called MSG on the carpet. Her office published a letter Wednesday that requests MSG provide information on its company policy barring “adversarial” attorneys from its venues. From the … Continued
While it ended in embarrassing fashion, the Giants’ 2022 season was quite remarkable considering the circumstances. It was Year 1 for general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. Nobody thought Daniel Jones would be the answer at quarterback, and New York had a terrible salary cap situation to deal with. Yet, Daboll and … Continued
Mets first baseman Pete Alonso is preparing for his age-28 campaign in 2023. He’s been in the big leagues for just three full seasons (plus the pandemic-shortened schedule in 2020) but has already made a huge impact on the franchise.

WFAN legend Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo works with malapropisms the way other artists work with oils or clay. It’s part of his charm. It’s why he is one of the greatest sports talkers of all time.

The Giants’ season has only been over for a few days, and their crucial offseason has already gotten interesting.

In the immediate aftermath … Continued
The Jets have 23 of their own free agents. Who should general manager Joe Douglas re-sign? Who should he let walk?

At 6’7″, 282 pounds, Aaron Judge probably has a pretty sizable bubble gum budget. We’re talking three Costco-sized bags, minimum. And in a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, Judge shared he gets superstitious with his gum. Some might say this ventures on Wade Boggs-like behavior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIeGRZBl7gY&t=521s&ab_channel=TheTonightShowStarringJimmyFallon The Aaron Judge bubble gum routine/superstition … Continued
The 2022 season was the definition of a roller coaster for the Jets and their fans. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the year ended with the worst part of the ride.

The Giants have a number of their own free agents. Who should they re-sign? Who should they let walk?
The internet is having a conniption over this tweet from the Cowboys’ official account following Sunday’s playoff loss to the 49ers.

Aaron Judge’s free agency technically didn’t last long, but it felt like an eternity for Yankees fans. While the slugger reportedly agreed to terms on December 7th, the speculation about whether he would be leaving the Bronx or not dragged on for months beforehand. We knew first baseman Anthony Rizzo could have an impact on … Continued
This is not about Saquon Barkley’s talent. Never has been. The initial talk about gold jackets and God’s Hand was a bit much. But the sentiment was sound.

If you thought Steve Cohen might have to cut back a tad following the Mets’ offseason spending spree, think again.
