It’s been a little touch-and-go since Jacob deGrom opted out of his Mets contract after the World Series. However, signs are pointing to the Amazins potentially having an advantage in retaining their homegrown ace. We’ve seen reports that New York’s front office believes deGrom would prefer a return to the Mets if his contract offers … Continued
If the Yankees want to sign a bullpen arm this offseason, they should consider a familiar face. Per The Post’s Jon Heyman, former fan favorite Tommy Kahnle is generating significant interest. Tommy Kahnle has 10 plus teams expressing interest after strong September return with Dodgers (0.63 WHIP, 2.84 ERA). Ex Yankee also benefits from demand … Continued

Will Yankees great Paul O’Neill be back in the YES Network broadcast booth, both figuratively and literally, in 2023? It remains to be seen, according to The Post’s Andrew Marchand. He reports: [T]he belief is if Paul O’Neill is back, he will need to be in the booth. O’Neill, whose contract is up, awkwardly did … Continued
Is Zach Wilson about to be Wally Pipped by Mike White? If his performance during the Jets’ win over the Chicago Bears in Week 12 is any indication, that’s exactly what’s about to happen. The rain was falling fast and furious at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. That didn’t stop White from producing at a level … Continued
WFAN host and famed Jets fan Joe Benigno believes Mike White should continue starting after Sunday’s win over the Bears.
It’s easy to forget how eventful a career Nate Robinson had in his 11 NBA seasons. He fought through early drama to not only carve out a role with the Knicks, but continually improve in it. His seemingly small 5-foot-9 stature was anything but and he has three Slam Dunk Contest trophies to prove it. … Continued
Despite their inconsistencies after the All-Star break, the Mets’ offense was among baseball’s best last season. New York’s 116 team wRC+ ranked third behind the Los Angeles Dodgers (119) and Toronto Blue Jays (117). There were many solid individual seasons at the plate in Queens, but first baseman Pete Alonso was the straw that stirred the … Continued
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.

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 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

MLB free agency is fully open for business, but we’re mostly dealing with rumors right now.

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
