Knicks HC Tom Thibodeau needs to learn from last year’s mistakes

Danny Small

It didn’t take long for Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau to reignite the Evan Fournier vs. Quentin Grimes debate. Thibs is declaring Fournier as the “frontrunner” to start at shooting guard. “We need shooting,” Thibodeau said in a recent press conference. “The one thing I know is with Jalen (Brunson) and RJ (Barrett) and Julius … Continued

Josh Benjamin

In watching ESPN’s new documentary “Yankees-Dodgers: An Uncivil War”, the main takeaway is that the storied rivalry just isn’t the same anymore. Directed by documentary veteran Fritz Weaver, the old Brooklyn-New York blood feud wasn’t just regional. The Dodgers lived in Brooklyn and were part of the borough’s blue-collar neighborhood culture. The Yankees, meanwhile, were … Continued

Matt Musico

The Jets‘ improbable Week 2 victory has been sandwiched by two uninspiring losses at home. New York combined to score just 21 points while quarterback Joe Flacco attempted more than 100 total passes.

Josh Benjamin

RJ Barrett declared at the Knicks’ media day that his team would “shock the world” this season and he’s 100% correct. Sorry, I should clarify. He’s 100% correct at least to a certain extent because the Knicks still have some question marks ahead of the season opener on Oct. 19. However, if there’s any Knick … Continued

Could Don Mattingly return to Yankees?

Josh Benjamin

Don Mattingly won’t be back managing the Marlins in 2023 and returning to New York should be on the table. No, not as a manager. Buck Showalter’s revival of the Mets makes him a practical shoe-in for National League Manager of the Year. Aaron Boone has weathered another slump storm in the Bronx and will … Continued
