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
I’m not gonna lie, folks — news of the Mets re-signing Brandon Nimmo completely blindsided me. The dude was already in high demand, and his market unsurprisingly intensified once Aaron Judge re-signed with the Yankees during the Winter Meetings. I assumed things would drag on a bit with so many teams interested in him. And … Continued
It’s hard to imagine the Red Sox doing the Yankees a favor in free agency, but they did when they signed Japanese outfielder Masataka Yoshida. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported the deal as being for five years, $85 million. You’ll recall that I recently took a look at Yoshida, 29, and concluded that while risky, his … Continued

The Mets have spent a lot of money so far this offseason. There’s been a common theme after news of each move hits the internet, too: they’re not done yet. New York has supplemented its rotation and bullpen, as well as re-installing Brandon Nimmo into center field. Japanese starting pitcher Kodai Senga is still available, and he’s … Continued
The Mets opened up the checkbook on Thursday night. The Amazins have re-signed outfielder Brandon Nimmo in a bit of a surprise move, paying up with an eight-year, $162 million deal according to ESPN. And they have also landed veteran reliever David Robertson on a one-year deal worth $10 million as they shore up their … Continued

The Giants and Jets still have a great deal of work to do in order to make the playoffs this season. But one of the rarest occurrences in New York football is on the table: A postseason where both teams participate. The Giants and Jets have made the playoffs in the same year only five … Continued
The internet was thrown for a loop Wednesday when Barstool’s Dave Portnoy announced personality Rico Bosco was leaving the company. Many assumed it was an elaborate bit at first, but a parade of Barstool folks and Bosco himself have indicated it is not a bit. Apparently Bosco is headed to Audacy, WFAN’s parent company. “I’m … Continued
Former Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez knows a thing or two about signing long-term contracts for an obscene amount of money. He not only signed a 10-year, $252 million deal with the Texas Rangers, but he also opted out of it to sign a 10-year, $275 million contract with New York. So, you know he was … Continued
Watching your favorite team play in person is a thrill. That thrill factor goes up a notch when you’re watching them win on the road. It goes up a few more notches when they do so in blowout fashion. That’s what happened in Vegas on Wednesday night when the Rangers beat the Golden Knights by … Continued
The 7-5 Jets are heading to Buffalo this weekend as heavy underdogs against the Bills. For the time being, though, Gang Green is still holding onto the AFC’s final playoff spot. They’ll once again go to battle with Mike White under center instead of Zach Wilson. Jets head coach Robert Saleh is still saying he … Continued
We haven’t had the pleasure of watching MLB’s Winter Meetings happen since 2019. They were canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, and the lockout from last offseason went into effect before the league could gather together. Based on the deals that have been handed out, it was worth the wait. That’s especially the case … Continued

Odell Beckham Jr. to the Giants wouldn’t make much sense right now. But it would in a few months (if he’s still available).
The Yankees are happy now. But wait until 2029, Mike Francesa says. The WFAN legend was a bit of a party pooper after Aaron Judge landed a historic nine-year, $360 million deal to remain in pinstripes. “It’s an extreme contract,” Francesa said on his latest BetRivers podcast. “It’s a bad contract. The Yankees will pay … Continued
A lot of the headlines on Wednesday at MLB’s Winter Meetings are being dominated by Aaron Judge and the Yankees. That’ll happen when a contract worth $360 million is agreed upon. However, it’s not like the Mets have just sat around and done nothing, ya know. Amid the Judge hoopla, New York continued filling out … Continued
Start spreading the news if you haven’t already, folks. Outfielder Aaron Judge decided to stay with the Yankees after all. All it took was one final chat with team owner Hal Steinbrenner, along with an extra year and $40 million on New York’s contract offer. As the baseball world waited to see what the slugger … Continued
Free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has made his long-awaited visits with the Giants, Buffalo Bills, and Dallas Cowboys over the past week. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, he’s now headed home to figure out what’s next. After a whirlwind free agent visit tour, with three facilities, three physicals and countless meetings with the … Continued
The Mets could very well still be in on Japanese free-agent starting pitcher Kodai Senga. However, they weren’t comfortable waiting around for him to make a decision. That’s especially the case with how the mid-tier starting pitcher market began moving on Tuesday at the Winter Meetings. I just got done talking about how New York … Continued
We all know Aaron Judge is, more or less, the captain of the Yankees. Just look at his whole Yankees tenure since he debuted in 2016. A home run in his first career at-bat followed by slugging 54 homers as an official rookie the next year. Simply commanding a room and the respect of his … Continued
It never made much sense that only two teams would partake in the Aaron Judge free agency sweepstakes. Sure, the Yankees — who re-signed the American League home run king Wednesday — and Giants were always the obvious top contenders. But you have to be in it to win it, no? Sure enough, it was … Continued
The Mets kicked off their Winter Meetings by replacing Jacob deGrom with three-time Cy Young winner Justin Verlander. That’s one helluva pivot, but general manager Billy Eppler mentioned New York is still monitoring the starting pitcher market for a mid-level starter. That market began moving on Tuesday, limiting the Mets’ options. New York was heavily … Continued
The Yankees have retained their man. Aaron Judge is staying in the Bronx. The American League home run king will stay with the Yankees after coming to terms on a historic new deal. Judge is expected to sign a nine-year, $360 million contract that makes him the highest-paid player in baseball history and fights off … Continued
Dear Aaron Judge, Wow, what a year, right? Your Yankees won 99 games and another AL East title through a true roller coaster of a season. Another ALCS loss to the Astros later, and that World Series ring eluded you yet again. But not even that can put a damper on batting .314 with 62 … Continued

Everyone in baseball is waiting on pins and needles to hear how the Aaron Judge free agency chronicles end. That’s especially the case for the Yankees and San Francisco Giants, who seem to be the two teams most serious about landing the slugger. It’s felt like the 2022 American League MVP has had offers in … Continued
When Steve Cohen officially became the new owner of the Mets, he made a few things clear. First of all, he wanted to win a championship soon. Like, within three to five years, or else he’d be “slightly disappointed”. Cohen also wanted the Mets to be consistently good, which is something that’s also escaped the … Continued
The New York Yankees are bringing back righty reliever Tommy Kahnle on a two-year deal, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Free-agent reliever Tommy Kahnle heading back to Yankees on two-year deal, source tells @TheAthletic. — Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) December 6, 2022 ESPN’s Jeff Passan added the deal is for $11.5 million.

As the Jets prepared for the 2022 season, it was easy to see the amount of young talent on New York’s roster. One of those players includes rookie wide receiver, Garrett Wilson. There are still five games left in the regular season, but the former Ohio State Buckeye could make franchise history in Buffalo on … Continued
