Aaron Rodgers was never going to be on Radio Row to kick off Super Bowl week. One, because it’s hard to believe he has any interest in gracing it with his presence. And two, because if he did, he’d never be there on a Monday. Mondays are reserved for Z-listers. However, we will be able … Continued

All you have to do is bet a single dollar bill to become eligible for this bet365 Ohio promo code offer. Subsequently, you will … Continued
Don’t ask popular Yankees relief pitcher Tommy Kahnle if he’ll be cheering for the Philadelphia Eagles on Super Bowl Sunday. Appearing on CC Sabathia and Ryan Ruocco’s “R2C2” podcast, Kahnle admitted he gave up on the team in 2020. “It’s crazy. Crazy to believe it,” Kahnle said. “You know, everybody knows who’s been around me … Continued
The Jets have publicly committed to finding a veteran quarterback to slot in ahead of Zach Wilson next year. A few names have been connected to New York, but none more than Aaron Rodgers. What will the price tag be, though? Whatever you do, don’t ask a Packers fan that question because most of the … Continued
If you’re a Nets fan and have grown tired of Kyrie Irving, Monday is a good day. Pending a physical, he no longer plays for Brooklyn and will be joining the Dallas Mavericks. This trade materialized just a couple of days after his request to be dealt was made public. But what could this mean … Continued
The Brooklyn Nets have traded star point guard Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. In return, the Nets receive former fan favorite Spencer Dinwiddie, plus Dorian Finney-Smith and a 2029 first-round pick. Brooklyn will also receive second-round picks from Dallas. Irving formally requested a trade from the Nets after both sides … Continued
We do not know where the Jets’ offseason quarterback hunt will land. But we know where it will not. Tom Brady has retired. The Giants have committed to Daniel Jones. The Bears are reportedly sticking with Justin Fields. So with those options off the board, here is an updated look at Gang Green’s 2023 possibilities … Continued
Mike Francesa hit the nail on the head. “Can’t imagine why anybody would ever want Kyrie Irving on their team,” the WFAN legend tweeted Saturday morning. And it is hard to argue with him. We all knew this was going to happen. Irving was always going to set the Nets’ franchise on fire again. We … Continued

Well, that escalated quickly. About a week ago, reports surfaced that Nets point guard Kyrie Irving wanted to make Brooklyn “home” by signing a contract extension. Another report said the Nets weren’t in any rush to negotiate such a deal. Now, Irving wants to get traded ahead of the February 9th NBA trade deadline. Here’s … Continued
The Jets need to acquire a quarterback for the 2023 season. You know it. I know it. Heck, even the Jets have admitted it themselves. The free-agent and trade markets should be full of experienced signal-callers in need of a new home. However, there are also several teams who will be pursuing those available options. … Continued
The NBA trade deadline is Thursday and the Knicks are keeping busy. The question is just which of the many rumors will come true? As we’ve discussed, New York needs bench scoring, namely a three-and-D to spell Quentin Grimes. Reggie Bullock appeared to be an option at one point and so did Grayson Allen. Both … Continued
Each winter, MLB Network runs a series where they rank the top 10 players at each position on the diamond. Depending on how the rankings turn out, there’s an opportunity for people to get fired up and passionately talk about baseball in the dead of winter. Since this series takes place over a few weeks, … Continued
Boyz II Men is always spot-on with their songs. Apparently, someone at ESPN is a devout listener because they’re having a hard time saying goodbye to yesterday. And when I say “yesterday”, I’m talking about the deal that fell apart between the Mets and Carlos Correa. It’s been nearly a month since Correa’s agreement with … Continued
The Jets are entering the offseason after missing the playoffs yet again. What moves should general manager Joe Douglas be making?
The Jets just got some good news about their apparent “all-out” pursuit of Aaron Rodgers. At least we think they did. Rodgers is playing the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this week. And before teeing off, he informed the world that “I’m not going to San Fran.” Aaron Rodgers on the tee at the #ATTProAm “I’m … Continued
Spencer Jones hasn’t been with the Yankees for a year and he already has big shoes to fill. Perhaps even bigger ones down the line, too. We all remember when the Yankees made the 6-foot-7 outfielder a first-round pick out of Vanderbilt back in July. The Aaron Judge comparisons were automatic to the point of … Continued
Earlier today, we talked about how the 2023 season is a crucial one for third baseman Brett Baty’s development. The same can be said for catcher Francisco Alvarez. Like his fellow top organizational prospect, the 21-year-old is already laying the foundation for a pivotal year. Mets Triple-A hitting coach Collin Hetzler joined Metsmerized’s Michael Mayer … Continued
It doesn’t matter how good or bad both teams have been over the last two decades. The Knicks (27-25) and Heat (29-23) don’t like each other. Oddly enough, the storied rivals meet for the first time this season on Thursday night, with the Knicks playing host at Madison Square Garden. Then, both teams will play … Continued
Another day, another crank of the Aaron Rodgers Jets Doomsday Clock. From Pro Football Network: [O]ne source said that general manager Joe Douglas is admitting to people in the league the franchise will go all out in the attempt to bring Rodgers to Gang Green. And it only makes sense. Well, it does for the … Continued
The Jets have an important offseason ahead. Sure, there are several players hitting free agency they need to make decisions on. But what’s most important of all is finding a veteran quarterback to steer the offense. The other thing that needs to happen is for Gang Green to clear some payroll. Even with the NFL … Continued
After nearly a decade away, Derek Jeter is returning to the field for the Yankees. That is, in video game form. The Hall of Fame shortstop appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday with some big news. He’ll be gracing the cover of the collector’s edition of MLB The Show 23, set to be … Continued
Baseball’s superstitions are well-known and no player is so high and mighty to call them absolute bunk, not even Derek Jeter. Yes, the Hall of Famer and former Yankees captain went to superstitious extremes in his lauded career. He appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and confessed he once wore a gold thong to … Continued
The open week before the Super Bowl is brutal. It’s too early to talk about the game. There is nothing else to talk about. No one cares about the Pro Bowl (Games). And it’s not worth the effort of navigating Sirius XM’s labyrinth-like subscription process to hear Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo do his trivia contest. … Continued
The Mets have had several good players man third base for them throughout franchise history. But one thing that’s generally been missing is longevity at that spot on the diamond. New York is likely hoping Brett Baty can eventually change that. The 23-year-old is doing everything possible to prepare himself to do so. Will Sammon … Continued
Sure, this could all be the Art of the Big Blue Deal. But when you add up all the anecdotal evidence, it certainly feels like Saquon Barkley’s Giants future is in real doubt. The latest inkling: Joe Schoen’s meeting with reporters Wednesday at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. The general manager reiterated his desire … Continued
The Arena Football League has officially risen from the ashes. The formal press release came out Wednesday, two weeks after a soft launch of sorts with an updated Twitter account and bare-bones website. The AFL utilized both the Undertaker meme AND the Michael Jordan fax graphic in the roll-out, so you know they are serious. … Continued
Jeff McNeil is with the Mets for at least the next four years. While there’s an argument to be made that his $50 million extension is team-friendly, it’s hardly insignificant. The Flying Squirrel himself definitely agrees now that his family is set up for multiple generations. It’s easy to forget how much of a grind baseball … Continued
This is real. Not a deepfake! https://twitter.com/kylepaganCB/status/1620833919460577280 Look, Shaun O’Hara obviously meant no malice here, comparing Tom Brady’s second retirement to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and John F. Kennedy’s assassination. The former Giants center is a good guy who has made a nice second career for himself. The extent of his consequences should be … Continued
Even with the Carlos Correa disappointment, the Mets have put together an offseason for the ages. They entered with many impact players heading for free agency. Instead of “retooling”, New York reloaded to make another run at a World Series title. But with Spring Training just two weeks away, there’s still one major free agent … Continued
When Mike and the Mad Dog are Mike and the Mad Dog, they’re Mike and the Mad Dog. When they aren’t, they aren’t. ESPN reminded us of that Wednesday. The much-anticipated reunion of Mike Francesa and Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo alongside Stephen A. Smith on First Take was flat and underwhelming. Sure, there were likely … Continued
Green Bay Packers quarterback (for now, at least) Aaron Rodgers does a weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. And it seems like he says something noteworthy every time he appears on the program. This week was no different, as one of the topics discussed was the Jets’ new offensive coordinator, Nathaniel Hackett. Signs could … Continued
Tuesday was a great day for Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil and his family. His four-year, $50 million extension became official and he spoke with the media about it. Among the many things discussed, he provided an update on a promise Francisco Lindor made to him last season. McNeil entered the 2022 season coming off … Continued
I have been asked more times than I can count over email, Twitter, even in person. Why do you write about Mike Francesa so much? And Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo? I’ll let the big guy answer this time via his recent comments to Newsday: I’m sure there’s a lot of jealousy of Dog and I, … Continued
A 51% New York online sports betting tax rate may not be sustainable if the state hopes to continue its sports betting market success, according to two leaders of the largest operators in the country. DraftKings CEO Jason Robins and FanDuel President Christian Genetski testified at Tuesday’s Senate Standing Committee on Racing, Gaming, and Wagering … Continued
Are the Packers finally going to part ways with superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers? It sure seems like it’s possible.
The Knicks and Lakers face off on national television on Tuesday night. It’s a shame the two aren’t meeting under better circumstances. Los Angeles (23-28) is old, banged up, and 2.5 games out of the play-in games in the Western Conference. Streaky New York (27-24), by comparison, is fighting to climb out of the play-in … Continued
New York Knicks vs. Los Angeles Lakers is an important game for both teams. Here’s who we like and who we’re betting on.
It didn’t take in-depth analysis to see the Giants didn’t have the NFL’s best wide receiver room. Between underperformance (Kenny Golloday) and injury (Wan’Dale Robinson, Sterling Shepard), Big Blue was left with Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins as the main targets for quarterback Daniel Jones. They took advantage of that opportunity. Slayton was the Giants’ … Continued
The Mets entered this past offseason with several crucial decisions to make. They ended up reloading the roster by committing $500-plus million to player talent in 2023 and beyond. Despite this huge dollar amount, one area didn’t get upgraded: designated hitter. Could Luis Guillorme impact how it’s handled in 2023? In chatting with Pat Ragazzo … Continued
Reports surfaced last week about how Nets point guard Kyrie Irving was interested in discussing a contract extension with Brooklyn. Irving’s camp also attempted to put pressure on the Nets to kickstart talks. Here’s what Shetellia Irving said: Around Kyrie and staying with the Nets? I have reached out to the Nets regarding this. We … Continued
Any criticism of Brock Purdy looks plenty foolish now. The rookie quarterback tore the UCL in his throwing elbow during the 49ers’ disastrous NFC title game loss to the Eagles on Sunday. The injury is expected to sideline him for six months. Purdy should be ready for the start of training camp, but he will … Continued
We’re only about two weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting for 2023 Spring Training in Florida and Arizona. But that’s not stopping people from thinking and wondering about Shohei Ohtani and his fascinating trip to free agency next winter. Based on what we’ve seen the last few days, this is going to feel like … Continued
The Giants’ season has concluded following a playoff loss to the Eagles. Now, it’s onto the offseason. How can Big Blue improve the roster?
The Yankees have filled the one remaining hole on their coaching staff. The team announced Monday morning that it had hired former big league outfielder Brad Wilkerson as the new assistant hitting coach. https://twitter.com/Yankees/status/1620089508065837058 Wilkerson takes over for veteran coach and former Yankees prospect Hensley “Bam-Bam” Muelens, who left to become the Rockies’ hitting coach. … Continued
The Super Bowl still needs to be played in a couple of weeks, but there are 30 other NFL teams already thinking about next year. The Jets and Giants are among that group. They just received some clarity on their respective situations with the 2023 salary cap getting revealed. Based on the number and before … Continued
The dream appears to be just that. Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo does not have his eyes on ESPN Radio New York’s expected-to-be-vacant afternoon drive slot. The WFAN legend told Newsday he is happy at Sirius XM and speculation he could return to terrestrial radio to replace Michael Kay is “probably not realistic.” “I’m not going … Continued
