The Jets have a crucial Week 15 matchup on tap this Sunday at MetLife Stadium against the Detroit Lions. As usual, New York will have two elite rookie performers on the field trying to make victory a reality for Gang Green. Everyone already knew that cornerback Sauce Gardner and wide receiver Garrett Wilson are two … Continued
The Mets have been busy spending lots of money and adding to their roster so far this offseason. After having many impact players hit free agency, though, there is still work to be done. While it initially seemed like New York wasn’t going to prioritize the offense, things have changed. The Mets made a last-second … Continued
That was quick. Barstool Sports personality “Rico Bosco” is staying at Barstool and will not be joining Audacy, the parent company of WFAN. The abrupt about-face was revealed Thursday on Barstool’s “Pick ‘Em” podcast, eight days after Bosco initially left the company. And six days since Bosco began efforting to stay at Barstool after what … Continued
As has been the case in recent weeks, the Giants find themselves in another situation with playoff implications on Sunday night in Washington D.C. Unlike in recent matchups, maybe Big Blue can avoid another loss (or tie). To do that, quarterback Daniel Jones will have to do something he’s never done as a pro football player. … Continued
There’s a saying out there that time heals all wounds. But when it comes to Noah Syndergaard leaving the Mets last offseason, more time is needed. Well, that and for the right-hander to actually face his former club. He appeared gracious to have received a qualifying offer from New York at the end of the … Continued
The Jets have made Zach Wilson the No. 2 quarterback for Week 15, and it’s a better move than just making him inactive.
Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo has once again demonstrated the power of his next-level thinking when it comes to sports-adjacent topics. The WFAN legend recently advised an unborn child should be directed toward Mets fandom because they play in the National League, as if the past majesty of the double-switch will mean something to a kid … Continued
The Mets have acquired a bunch of players over the past week or so. You know what that means — these players need to meet the media! That began on Wednesday via Zoom with general manager Billy Eppler. He was joined by David Robertson, Brooks Raley, and Jose Quintana. This media availability lasted just under … Continued
The Knicks face the Bulls twice in the Windy City this week, and yet nobody seems excited. It isn’t shocking that what was once a blood rivalry petered out quickly. The Knicks have struggled to field a consistently competitive team in the post-Patrick Ewing era. Similarly, the Bulls haven’t been to the Finals since Jordan’s … Continued
The Odell Beckham Jr. free agency chronicles have a new chapter, folks. And from the latest news, the wide receiver may stay unemployed longer than just about anyone initially expected. Instead of providing a boost to a team trying to reach the playoffs, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Beckham could sit out the entire 2022 season. … Continued
How will you remember the two hours when everyone was convinced free-agent Carlos Correa was signing with the Mets? An agreement between both parties was always a long shot for many reasons. However, New York getting involved in the 11th hour (even if it was just to drive up the price) shows anything is possible … Continued
Mike Francesa is open to an audience with Stephen A. Smith and Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo on ESPN First Take, but it is far from a certainty. The WFAN legend addressed Monday’s blockbuster report from The Post’s Andrew Marchand on his latest BetRivers podcast. “I know there was a story written. The story had a … Continued
The Mets have spent the majority of this offseason — and really, the past week — spending lots of money to rebuild the roster for 2023. With a rotation that suddenly has enviable depth, general manager Billy Eppler could use it to make a trade. So, the rumor that New York is open to trade … Continued
The Giants need their secondary to get healthy if they wish to still contend for an NFC Playoff spot.
I have never understood the hate for the Islanders’ fisherman logo. Does it look like the guy on the Gorton’s boxes? Yes. Is it a bit hokey? Yes. Is it kind of awesome? Also yes. So good on the Isles for bringing it back with the NHL’s reverse retro sweater series. And good on FOCO … Continued
Robert Saleh believes his Jets are going to the playoffs. But they just took a real tumble down the postseason table. The combination of Gang Green’s loss to the Bills and wins by the Chargers and Patriots this past week shook up the bottom of the AFC playoff picture. The Jets are now ninth in … Continued
It seems like one of Mets owner Steve Cohen’s biggest hobbies these days is sending mixed signals to people on Twitter. Cohen was a very active participant on the social media platform when he first took control of the team in November 2020. After learning the burden it can bring, he’s been a lot less … Continued
Earlier this season, it seemed like the Nets just couldn’t get out of their own way. But now that the off-court issues have subsided and Brooklyn focuses on playing basketball, things are starting to come together. Jacque Vaughn’s club beat the Washington Wizards on Monday night by a score of 112-100. It’s just the latest … Continued
The Yankees have more infielders than they know what to do with, specifically shortstops. Ask any fan about Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and they’ll either sing his defensive praises or rant about him being general manager Brian Cashman’s biggest mistake. Mention top prospect Anthony Volpe, and you might get a way too early comparison to Derek Jeter. … Continued
The Mets had a choice to make after Jacob deGrom’s Texas two-step out of town. Patch the hole with several middle-class signings or swing for another ace? Since these are Steve Cohen’s Amazins, they went with the latter and brought Justin Verlander to the Big Apple on a big-money deal. It’s a big risk for … Continued
Back in August, Stephen A. Smith casually mentioned a desire to have Mike Francesa join him (and Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo) in the ESPN First Take universe. Well, it may prove to be more than wishful thinking. From The Post’s Andrew Marchand: ESPN would like a “Mike & the Mad Dog” reunion on its air. … Continued
Let’s pour more fire on the Zach Wilson-Mike White Jets quarterback debate, shall we? Joe Benigno does a weekly spot on WFAN’s Tiki and Tierney to talk Jets every Monday during the season. It’s always entertaining, but it’s usually a good idea to listen after a loss because it could make you feel better. He … Continued
The Jets went into their Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills with a lot at stake regarding AFC playoff positioning. Rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson had something else to play for from a personal standpoint, too. While Gang Green couldn’t overcome Buffalo in a 20-12 loss, Wilson did something no rookie wideout has done … Continued
The Yankees nabbed their crown jewel of the offseason by re-signing outfielder Aaron Judge to a nine-year, $360 million contract. It sounds like Judge preferred to be a Yankee and keep his legacy intact. But he’s probably also confident that New York isn’t done making impact additions to the roster. After all, most of what … Continued
In case you missed it, the Yankees are reportedly interested in signing free agent lefty Carlos Rodon. Looking at his numbers, why wouldn’t they be? Rodon just turned in an excellent year for the San Francisco Giants. Not only did he post an impressive 2.88 ERA in 31 starts, but Rodon also struck out 237 … Continued
The Giants were off to a great start this season. But much has changed following Xavier McKinney’s bye-week ATV accident.
Robert Saleh just printed a whale of a receipt himself. “We’ll see these guys again,” the Jets coach told reporters after Sunday’s 20-12 loss at the Bills. And yes, he meant exactly what you think he meant. It was not of the magnitude of Joe Namath before Super Bowl III or Jim Fassel pushing his … Continued
Clearly, the best way to kickstart a Mets offseason spending spree is having Steve Cohen and Co. miss out on a pitcher they’re pursuing. It happened last winter with Steven Matz. That led to New York signing Eduardo Escobar, Mark Canha, Starling Marte, and Max Scherzer in less than a week. This year, it was … Continued
The Mets are the talk of MLB’s offseason so far. Before Steve Cohen took over as team owner, it was usually for the wrong reasons. Not anymore. New York has spent just shy of $360 million since Jacob deGrom decided to take his talents to Arlington and play for the Texas Rangers. If we add … Continued
Yes, next Sunday’s primetime showdown with the Commanders will be the biggest game the Giants have played in a long time. And yes, it should be considered a season-defining moment. You only need a quick glance at the NFC standings to understand the magnitude of the matchup. And if you would prefer to see hard … Continued
Running back Saquon Barkley was a non-factor once again in the Giants’ blowout loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

It wasn’t a good Sunday for New York football, folks. Well, except for the Buffalo Bills, who do play in New York. While the Giants were getting blown out by the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium, the Jets just couldn’t get anything going against Buffalo. The final score ended up at 20-12, but both teams … Continued
This surprise Giants season kept slip-sliding away on Sunday. Only this felt like they were engulfed by a deluge. No one predicted a win over the Eagles. And few likely believed the game would be terribly close. But a 48-22 beatdown where the Birds looked every bit of the NFL’s best team? It still stings … Continued
The Jets are currently battling the Buffalo Bills on the road, and they’ve been bitten by the injury bug all afternoon. Most recently, it was quarterback Mike White absorbing a ginormous hit and having to head to the locker room. Here’s the hit that put him on the ground: prayers up for Mike White's ribcage, … Continued
While some of you (and me) were sleeping on Saturday night, the Mets continued their spending spree. This time, it was a five-year, $75 million agreement with Japanese hurler Kodai Senga. Since Jacob deGrom bolted for the Texas Rangers, New York has shelled out nearly $360 million in contracts. Here’s how it’s been allocated so … Continued

The Yankees got their crown jewel of the offseason by re-signing Aaron Judge to a record nine-year, $360 million deal. It was a necessary thing for New York to get done. But now that it’s in the rearview mirror, Brian Cashman and Co. have more work to do. Sure, this is a club that won … Continued
Odell Beckham Jr. made an appearance on Amazon’s “The Shop” alternate stream during Thursday Night Football. And he managed to pull off an impressive feat by making everything surrounding his free agency that much more ridiculous. Let’s start with the most basic, yet most important, question hovering over this entire sideshow: Is Beckham ready to … Continued

The Mets continued their free agency splurge when they signed popular outfielder Brandon Nimmo to an eight-year, $162 million contract. Eight years and $162 million! Nimmo certainly has every reason to celebrate. He hit .274 with 16 home runs and a career-high 64 RBI and 130 WRC+, plus a respectable .367 OBP. Cut to $20 … Continued
Our college basketball credo here at ESNY is self-explanatory — We pay attention in March — but we will make an exception here. Because the Big Ten has some explaining to do. The cliff notes: No. 25 Ohio State hit a buzzer-beater to down Rutgers, 67-66, on Thursday night in Columbus. It capped a frenetic … Continued
