More people watched Giants on Thanksgiving than actual State of the Union
The Giants-Cowboys Thanksgiving matchup was, by far, the most-watched game of the 2022 NFL regular season.
We can’t get this ‘Mike and the Mad Dog’ scene out of our head
Mike Francesa was asked a good questions by a listener on his latest BetRivers podcast: Does he listen to WFAN? Francesa said he really does not listen to his old station. But that is not an indictment on the station. He just tends to listen to music when he is driving. And Francesa’s answer led … Continued
Odell Beckham Jr. flight meltdown body cam footage does him no favors
About Odell Beckham Jr.’s newfound maturity … The former Giants wide receiver has a knack when it comes to his controversies.

Jets’ veteran quarterback search now an even more critical mission
Coming out of their Week 10 bye with a 6-3 record, many Jets fans were starting to think about the playoffs.

Mets showing interest in 4 free-agent hitters. Who fits the best?

At the moment, the only primary outfielder on the roster other than the three starters (Mark Canha, Brandon Nimmo, and Starling Marte) is Khalil Lee. He hasn’t had much big-league experience, … Continued

Jets offensive coordinator candidates: Frank Reich, who else?
The Jets have parted ways with offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. Who could head coach Robert Saleh hire as his replacement?
Jets should make run at Bill O’Brien for offensive coordinator, stick it to Bill Belichick, Patriots
Conventional wisdom says Robert Saleh has a tough offensive coordinator search ahead of him. The Jets are not exactly an attractive destination for quality candidates at the moment. Mike LaFleur’s replacement won’t have a quarterback when they arrive. And considering Saleh likely faces a playoff mandate in 2023, they won’t have much job security either. … Continued
Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur out after 2 seasons
Mike LaFleur is no longer the Jets’ offensive coordinator after two seasons and an odd final day. To recap: A Houston television station reported LaFleur had been fired on Wednesday afternoon.

Stephen A. Smith drags Knicks for Donovan Mitchell failure with epic zinger
This is why Stephen A. Smith is an all-time sports yakker. ESPN First Take host Molly Qerim was running through some quick hitters with Smith and Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo on Wednesday’s show.

Yankees’ hope to acquire Pirates’ Bryan Reynolds keeps dwindling
The Yankees have been interested in trading for Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds for quite some time now. Those desires have seemingly intensified this offseason thanks to Reynolds requesting a trade out of Pittsburgh.

Jeff Passan is the only MLB news reporter we’ll ever need
Carlos Correa knew his second trip to free agency was going to be interesting. There’s no way he was anticipating something like this, though.

No one is happier right now than Mets’ Brett Baty
The Carlos Correa circus is over and we have one message for Brett Baty: go out and buy yourself a quality steak dinner.

The real problem with Michael Kay’s threats to get colleague fired
Put aside the substance of Michael Kay’s latest flip-out. The timeline is far more telling.

Mets’ reported revised contract offer to Carlos Correa sounds ridiculous
Remember when Carlos Correa was going to play for the Mets? I’d say I will remember that time fondly, but I really won’t.

Mike Francesa torches Giants defender for double-bird salute: ‘Utter stupidity’
Jihad Ward had better put his hard hat on. Mike Francesa is not amused with the Giants’ veteran defensive end.

Jets must overcome plenty to prove Sauce Gardner right next year
On the surface, the Jets took a step forward during the 2022 season. After all, they nearly doubled their season-long win total from four to seven. Oh, but what could’ve been? Going from 7-4 to 7-10 to finish the year (without scoring a touchdown in the past three games) is a tough pill to swallow. … Continued
A reminder that Brett Gardner’s Yankees playing days are done
It’s hard to find a Yankees fan who doesn’t love former outfielder Brett Gardner. If we’re being completely honest, it’s hard to find anything negative to say about him.
