Mets have learned valuable lesson from James McCann debacle
Two years ago this week, the Mets made one of their first major signings of the Steve Cohen era. It was a four-year, $40.6 million deal with catcher James McCann.

A Zach Wilson-Mike White Jets conspiracy theory is already floating around
The Jets have a huge game on Sunday at MetLife Stadium to get themselves back on track. They’ll have to do so without quarterback Mike White.

Proof that Carlos Rodon was destined to pitch for the Yankees
The Yankees have been the favorites to land starting pitcher Carlos Rodon for at least the last couple of weeks. After lots of reported stalling in negotiations — which was likely manufactured by Rodon’s well-known agent — the Bombers finally got their man on Thursday night. Despite there being a “sizable gap” between what the … Continued
This Carlos Rodon-Yankees tidbit would be more fun if Red Sox still tried
This is the type of thing that would have sparked an entire day of calls for WFAN and WEEI … in 2003. Alas.

Yankees’ Brian Cashman is owed an apology now
This is a public service announcement to all Yankees fans: apologize to Brian Cashman. Yes, this is the way we’re kicking off this article.

Yankees add Carlos Rodon, make another free agency splash
The Yankees continued their busy offseason by signing left-hander Carlos Rodon to a six-year, $162 million contract, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Nobody is buying the Scott Boras act anymore
If Yankees fans are looking for someone to blame for the sudden lack of offseason moves, look no further than Scott Boras. It’s easy to forget the mega-agent still exists.

That was quick. Barstool Sports personality “Rico Bosco” is staying at Barstool and will not be joining Audacy, the parent company of WFAN.

And six days since Bosco began efforting to stay at Barstool after what … Continued
Giants’ Daniel Jones will try to get this monkey off his back Sunday night
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.

Noah Syndergaard to sign with Dodgers, gets absolutely roasted by SNY
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.

Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo has once again demonstrated the power of his next-level thinking when it comes to sports-adjacent topics.

This is all you need to know from the Mets’ recent press conference
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!

It’s time to revive Knicks-Bulls rivalry
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
Odell Beckham Jr. free agency saga appears to take final turn … for now
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.

Here’s what the rest of Mets’ offseason to-do list should include
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.

Mike Francesa addresses rumored ‘ESPN First Take’ reunion with Christopher ‘Mad Dog’ Russo
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 glorious Islanders fisherman logo is now on a bobblehead (and so is Rangers’ alternate look)
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
Jets have some work to do if they want to prove Robert Saleh right
Robert Saleh believes his Jets are going to the playoffs. But they just took a real tumble down the postseason table.

Steve Cohen likes idea of Mets signing Carlos Correa … on Twitter
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
Nets’ hot streak has catapulted them up Eastern Conference standings
Earlier this season, it seemed like the Nets just couldn’t get out of their own way.

Do Yankees need to add a veteran shortstop?
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
Mets made right calculated risk with Justin Verlander
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
ESPN efforting for ‘Mike and the Mad Dog’ reunion on ‘First Take’
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.

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.

Garrett Wilson made Jets history on Sunday and is eyeing some more
The Jets went into their Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills with a lot at stake regarding AFC playoff positioning.

There are rumblings about the Yankees pursuing Fernando Tatis Jr.
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
Why Yankees should be skeptical about adding Carlos Rodon
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’s mouth has him back in line of fire. Will Jets respond again?
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
The narratives around Mets’ offseason moves is already getting old
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
Mets are putting on a payroll management masterclass
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
Is Giants’ season at stake vs. Commanders in Week 15? Yes and no

Jets’ playoff hopes take another hit in Week 14 loss to Bills
It wasn’t a good Sunday for New York football, folks. Well, except for the Buffalo Bills, who do play in New York.

Giants humiliated by Eagles as late-season tailspin continues
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.

Jets’ Joe Flacco promptly fumbles after entering for injured Mike White
