We saw this before Thanksgiving and forgot to post in the moment. But it’s too good to let go. Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo made an appearance with The Ringer’s Kevin Clark on “Slow News Day.” Clark and his wife are expecting (congratulations) and just moved to the area. So Clark asked Dog for some help … Continued
To most February 14, 2009 was just another Valentine’s Day. For former Knicks point guard Nate Robinson and all of the New York faithful, it’s an epic night of basketball history. On that night, the 5-foot-9 sensation won his second of three Slam Dunk Contests when he jumped over the 6-foot-11 Dwight Howard and dunked … Continued
The Giants’ playoff outlook is pretty straightforward with six games to go. Barring something unforeseen, there are three teams vying for two spots. And the loser of Sunday’s game against the Commanders at MetLife Stadium will be behind the eight ball the rest of the way. So yes, the postseason will for all intents and purposes … Continued
Remember when the National League and American League East were well-represented at the outset of the MLB postseason? There’s still plenty of football left to be played, but a similar situation is brewing as the NFL Playoffs continue creeping closer. Week 12 is officially in the books for the AFC and NFC East. Each division … Continued
The MLB Hot Stove season is still young, but not much has happened yet. Even before starting pitcher Jacob deGrom opted out of his contract, the Texas Rangers were viewed as one of the biggest threats to the Mets’ efforts in re-signing the right-hander. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Rangers might not be … Continued

In our recent critique of Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau’s performance, there’s something we didn’t consider. Maybe Thibs just needs to loosen up and have some fun? Former Knicks and Bulls point guard Nate Robinson recently spoke with ESNY and discussed his year playing for Thibodeau in the Windy City. While the two had an overall … Continued
The Giants likely have no choice but to continue the charade. But if Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen are wise men — and they have led us to believe they are — they will cut the upcoming Odell Beckham Jr. free agency visit to one day. And only if he will not do Zoom. Or … Continued

The Jets made the White move. Backup quarterback Mike White starred in his first start after replacing the embattled Zach Wilson on Sunday. He threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns as the Jets rolled past the banged-up Bears, 31-10, at rainy MetLife Stadium. The desperately-needed win pushes the Jets’ record to 7-4 and keeps … Continued
It’s raining pretty hard at MetLife Stadium during the Jets-Bears Week 12 matchup. Gang Green’s offense has been able to function quite nicely with quarterback Mike White leading the way. However, the precipitation led to a funny-looking play on a botched field goal attempt from New York. The snap was fumbled, and then that’s when … Continued
Odell Beckham Jr. is officially coming to town. The former Giants wide receiver will make his much-anticipated free agency visit this coming week, according to NFL Network. He plans to break bread with the Giants on Thursday and Friday, Dec. 1-2 as a stunning return to the organization remains on the table. Beckham is then … Continued
Bears vs. Jets. Mike White (!) vs. Nathan Peterman (!!). Here are the ESNY picks (the Jets are a 4.5-point favorite via Sports Betting Dime): Matt Musico, editor.

The Jets have sent quarterback Zach Wilson to the bench, at least temporarily. And it’s the absolute right move.
Steve Cohen’s first year as Mets owner was quite the roller coaster ride. But for the most part, the second half was just a consistent nosedive. You knew change was on the horizon in Queens, but it came at an unexpected time. New York spent more than 100 days in first place during the 2021 … Continued
The Giants lost to the Cowboys 28-20 in a Turkey Day matchup, and Big Blue has all of a sudden suffered two straight defeats.
The Giants have not scored an offensive touchdown on Thanksgiving since before World War 2. No, that is not an exaggeration. It’s a fact. The Giants have played 15 Turkey Day games — Thursday’s meeting with the Cowboys in Arlington, Texas, will be the 16th. All of them have been on the road. And the … Continued

The Cowboys are a whopping 9.5-point favorite (line via Sports Betting Dime). But can the Giants dig deep and notch yet another upset … Continued
The Mets didn’t win baseball’s ultimate prize in 2022, and that was a huge bummer. However, it’s not like this past season in Queens wasn’t enjoyable. The last time I had this much fun following the Mets from start to finish (outside of the eventual results) was in 2006. Thanksgiving means it’s time to take … Continued

Despite bringing Carlos Carrasco back by exercising his team option for 2023, the Mets still have several spots to fill in their starting rotation. At the moment, the only two vets taking up residence are Carrasco and Max Scherzer. How else will New York fill it this winter? Will it be all external additions, or … Continued
Say the Jets move on from Zach Wilson this offseason. Some would argue it is now a matter of when, not if, now that he has been benched. We are not yet convinced. But say they do. And say Mike White does not turn out to be a franchise quarterback hiding in relatively plain sight. … Continued
Zach Wilson has played — and talked — his way onto the bench. The Jets have benched the quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Bears. The move comes two days after head coach Robert Saleh refused to commit to Wilson following a brutal outing — both on the field and in the postgame press conference — in … Continued
Ben Simmons finally made his return to Philadelphia as a member of the Nets on Tuesday night. Brooklyn failed to get back to .500 after losing 116-105 to the 76ers, but Simmons continued his current hot streak on the floor. He also found some time to poke fun at Philly fans after the game. Simmons … Continued
An MLB investigation has confirmed what pretty much everyone but the MLBPA figured: The Mets and Yankees did not collude to hold back Aaron Judge’s free agency. From The Post: Aaron Judge, the biggest free agent on the market this winter, isn’t considered a victim of collusion between the Mets and Yankees — from MLB’s … Continued
A few months ago, thinking about Odell Beckham Jr. returning to the Giants via free agency was nothing but a pipe dream. While there are reasons why a reunion isn’t a good idea, it could be on the verge of happening anyway. Big Blue will have to duke it out with the Dallas Cowboys, though. … Continued
The Giants are coming off just their third loss of the year and head to Dallas for a Thanksgiving matchup against the Cowboys.

MLB free agency is fully open for business, but we’re mostly dealing with rumors right now. The top end of the market will probably start moving after Thanksgiving and by the time MLB’s Winter Meetings take place (they start on December 7th).

The most telling moment of Zach Wilson’s miserable Sunday in Foxborough was not a bad throw or a missed receiver or his petulant press conference. The embattled Jets quarterback was not even on the field when it happened, in fact. Which is the point. The Patriots had a fourth-and-3 from the Jets’ 36-yard line with … Continued
It has flown under the radar because he plays for a team that inexplicably continues to employ Kyrie Irving. But Ben Simmons is on a roll. The mercurial guard has seemingly powered through a knee injury and an airing of grievances to get to the other side. Simmons had 22 points and eight boards in … Continued
If there were ever a week to stay off social media and the internet in general, this is the one for Jets quarterback Zach Wilson. His poor performance on Sunday vs. the New England Patriots was bad enough, and now his first 20 NFL starts can be compared to JaMarcus Russell. But his lack of … Continued

We know the Mets want to re-sign Brandon Nimmo to man center field in Flushing for the foreseeable future. His services are high in demand, though. What if New York isn’t successful? There were already some intriguing backup plans to consider. The Los Angeles Dodgers non-tendering Cody Bellinger last week just adds another option. I … Continued
Mike Francesa believes Zach Wilson has reached a fork in the road. The WFAN legend opined on the embattled Jets quarterback to start his latest BetRivers podcast: It all comes back to the quarterback position. The quarterback has not handled things well.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh did not commit to quarterback Zach Wilson for Sunday’s matchup against the Bears.
In what was the biggest game of his young NFL career, Jets quarterback Zach Wilson came up very short. If he didn’t feel like he let down the defense vs. the New England Patriots, then he definitely won’t agree with the below QB comparison. Gang Green lost in gut-wrenching fashion on Sunday, which was the … Continued
MLB’s hot stove season is in full swing. While no major free agents have signed a new deal just yet (outside of Edwin Diaz), rumors are flying fast and furious. The Mets, a team both willing and able to spend this winter to contend in 2023, are talking to lots of dudes. We know they’re … Continued
