It must be refreshing for NY Giants fans to have a general manager in charge of their favorite team who gets it. Big Blue is off this week after losing to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8 to fall to 6-2. While New York didn’t make any significant acquisitions at the trade deadline, they’re still … Continued
Regardless of how you slice it, the Nets are an absolute dumpster fire right now. Despite being 2-6 to start the season, Brooklyn’s play on the court is probably the least of the organization’s worries at the moment. Heck, there’s a reason why general manager Sean Marks wants to “get back to basketball” right now. … Continued
There is no need to lay out Kyrie Irving’s latest disgraceful session with the media. Just watch the Nets guard in action: "I'm a beacon of light. I'm not afraid of these mics, these cameras. Any label you put on me I'm able to dismiss because I study. I know the Oxford dictionary." Kyrie Irving … Continued
The NBA’s Adam Silver has long enjoyed a reputation as “the good commissioner.” He has been consistently painted as the enlightened one, while his counterparts — the NHL’s Gary Bettman, NFL’s Roger Goodell and MLB’s Rob Manfred — are considered incompetent empty suits that just carry out the bidding of their league’s owners. The last week … Continued
The Commanders are under federal investigation, according to ESPN, adding another brick to embattled owner Daniel Snyder’s load. From the report: The U.S. attorney’s office in the Eastern District of Virginia has opened a criminal investigation into allegations that the Washington Commanders engaged in financial improprieties, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ESPN … Continued
As the World Series continues creeping closer to its conclusion, it means the Hot Stove will start warming up. With many of their own players hitting free agency (including Jacob deGrom), the Mets will surely be an active participant in supplementing their roster. With seven impactful players about to hit the open market, one would … Continued
Kyrie Irving and the Nets threw a weak statement and some money at the dumpster fire Wednesday night. And not only did Irving fail to apologize for promoting an antisemitic film in a since-deleted tweet, but he actually suggested — again — he finds value in it. Irving’s statement in full, bolded emphasis is ours: … Continued
Just when you think things can’t get any worse with the Nets and Kyrie Irving, someone finds a way to make that happen. A joint statement was released from Irving, the Nets, and the Anti-Defamation League on Wednesday night. There were some notable things included, and some notable things not included. Within this statement, Irving … Continued
DJ LeMahieu made Yankees history again and won the first-ever utility player Gold Glove in the American League on Tuesday. It’s a great accomplishment in what’s been a successful career for him, but this one feels a bit shallow. Perhaps even hollow. It’s not that LeMahieu is a bad player. He’s a .297 career hitter … Continued
Would it be in the best interest of the Giants to retain running back Saquon Barkley after this season?
Kyrie Irving participated in a Wednesday night statement with the Nets and the Anti-Defamation League that will be framed as his apology for promoting an antisemitic film. But to be clear: There was no apology offered. “I oppose all forms of hatred and oppression and stand strong with communities that are marginalized and impacted every … Continued
Will Aaron Judge’s free agency result in a return to the New York Yankees? Will he go home to the San Francisco Giants? Sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers? Or move across town to the New York Mets? The newly-crowned American League home run king is officially becoming a free agent, kicking off what will be one … Continued
The Mets have several impact players from the 2022 squad set to hit free agency at the conclusion of the World Series. New York won’t be able to retain them all, but where is the focus right now? SNY’s Andy Martino gives us a glimpse in a recent report. Two players the Mets have at … Continued
Jameson Taillon was good enough in two years with the Yankees that he should command a fair bit of interest in free agency. If you were to ask the veteran righty, he already has some ideas. Sports Illustrated reported last month that Taillon would “love” to re-sign with the Yankees, who acquired him from the … Continued
It would’ve been nice to see the Giants make a patented “win-now” move ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. Standing pat doesn’t mean it still can’t happen, though. We know general manager Joe Schoen, head coach Brian Daboll, and the new regime are on a mission to change New York’s culture. A welcome change for … Continued
NY Knicks-Atlanta Hawks is the basketball rivalry none of us expected to be born from the Tom Thibodeau era. Cue the Hawks winning a playoff series and Trae Young shushing the crowd, and here we are. Oddly, beating the Hawks was one of the few good things the Knicks did last season. New York took three … Continued
Embattled Commanders owner Daniel Snyder has hired a bank to help him sell his team. Or part of the team. Or do nothing. Who knows. From the Commanders: Dan and Tanya Snyder and the Washington Commanders announced today that they have hired BofA Securities to consider potential transactions. The Snyders remain committed to the team, … Continued
The Mets need to fill a hole in their outfield for 2023 thanks to Brandon Nimmo becoming a free agent this winter. There’s a good chance New York brings its homegrown player back to Flushing for the foreseeable future, but what if he signs elsewhere? That’s a possibility general manager Billy Eppler has already been … Continued
As the NFL trade deadline approached Tuesday afternoon, several players switched teams. One team that didn’t make any acquisitions was the Giants. The lone move New York made before the clock struck 4 pm ET was to trade wide receiver Kadarius Toney to the Kansas City Chiefs last week. That doesn’t mean Big Blue isn’t … Continued
Everyone has officially weighed in on Aaron Judge’s free agency. Because we now have Jose Canseco’s thoughts. And it sounds like the polarizing former slugger did not enjoy his time with the 2000 Yankees. Canseco went on a tweetstorm about Judge and why he should leave New York. The tweets are copied verbatim below in … Continued
Charles Barkley hammered NBA commissioner Adam Silver for standing on the sidelines following Kyrie Irving’s since-deleted tweet promoting an antisemitic film and his subsequent lack of remorse. “I think the NBA dropped the ball. I think Adam should have suspended him,” the Hall of Famer said on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” on Tuesday night. “I … Continued

The hits keep coming with the Nets, this time with their expected new head coach. Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting Brooklyn will hire former assistant — and currently suspended Celtics head coach — Ime Udoka. Steve Nash was fired earlier Tuesday following the Nets’ 2-5 start. The Brooklyn Nets plan to hire Ime … Continued
The Mets and Yankees have crucial offseasons ahead of them. Before the first pitch is thrown on Opening Day next spring, both fan bases are hoping for big moves from their respective front offices. You’d have to imagine that both New York squads would like to toss their hats into the Shohei Ohtani trade rumors … Continued

Steve Nash is out as Nets head coach. The exact mechanics of his exit are unclear — it has been simultaneously reported as a firing and a mutual decision — but that is an inconsequential detail in the grand scheme. The bottom line is the beleaguered coach is gone following a tumultuous offseason during which … Continued
Dan Orlovsky is a former quarterback and 12-year NFL veteran who now spends his time talking about football for ESPN. In the aftermath of the Jets’ 22-17 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, he didn’t mince words about his thoughts on signal-caller Zach Wilson. Of the many sound bites he provided during an … Continued
It is hard to call for a coach to be fired. Even more so asking one to quit the job of their own volition. But we are compelled to do so with Steve Nash. There is no depth the Nets will not sink to as they enable Kyrie Irving. That was confirmed when Irving promoted … Continued
The Nets aren’t getting a lot of positive press these days, and it’s mostly their own fault. This includes not doing anything about Kyrie Irving’s recent comments and social media posts, or not playing with the kind of fire they’re expected to have. Clearly, veteran Kevin Durant has blocked out the noise to have a … Continued
Kyrie Irving not only promoted an antisemitic film on Twitter, but then he doubled down on it (he has since deleted the tweet). And also doubled down on an endorsement of comments made by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. So what are the Nets going to do about it beyond limp statements of condemnation by owner … Continued
This will be a big winter for the Mets. What looked like a World Series team went sideways at the end, letting the NL East crown slip away to the Braves before a wild card round no-show against the Padres. And now the front office must not only retain its own key free agents but … Continued
As we’ve established many times on these interweb pages, the Mets have a crucial offseason ahead of them. It’ll likely include spending lots of money thanks to several impactful players from the 2022 squad becoming free agents. Many of them are pitchers, but the offense needs a boost. Could they look to bring back former … Continued
People seemed to forget why the NY Giants traded Kadarius Toney the minute they did. The guy had not even booked his flight to Kansas City yet and he was already being considered the next game-breaking Chiefs receiver. But Andy Reid is trying to bring expectations for the Giants exile back down to earth. “We’ve … Continued
Michael Kay’s last stand is beginning to look just like that. WFAN’s Craig Carton and Evan Roberts continue to dominate afternoon drive, according to The Post’s Andrew Marchand. The duo posted a 6.8 to 3.5 victory over Kay and ESPN Radio New York in the first month of the fall ratings book in the all-important … Continued

Zach Wilson was horrendous against the Patriots on Sunday. Could the Jets make a switch at quarterback if he continues to struggle?
There was hope the Mets would still be playing right now and we could get some new World Series highlights. Alas, that’s how the cookie crumbles and we’re still stuck looking at past Fall Classics to get the warm and tinglies. On Halloween night in 2015, the Mets and Royals faced off in Game 4 … Continued

One of the most beautiful things about sports is that on any given day, any team can beat another. Regardless of how lopsided the odds may be or how much better one squad is on paper. The Nets are learning that the hard way. At least, we can surmise this much from the following sound … Continued
The new, new XFL passed on a New York/New Jersey return when it announced its eight team cities in late July. Which made complete sense. We have made it very clear we do not really care about upstart spring football. And the idea a league must have roots in the region to be “legitimate” is … Continued
Steve Cohen’s version of the Mets is already much different than the Wilpon version. The biggest change between these two? A willingness to spend some money. Opening up the checkbook last winter helped the Amazins win 100-plus regular-season games for just the fourth time in franchise history. What kind of encore will Cohen, Billy Eppler, … Continued
This Giants loss was seen from a mile away. A few miles, actually, because we have been expecting it for some time now. The Seahawks are a legitimate playoff contender. They took away Saquon Barkley. They neutralized Daniel Jones’ legs. And then they challenged the quarterback to beat them through the air with a banged-up offensive … Continued
The Jets had the Patriots right where they wanted them near halftime. With a 10-3 lead in the final moments of the second quarter, quarterback Mac Jones threw what looked like a costly pick-six to give New York a 17-3 lead. But a roughing the passer penalty negated that. Instead of a 17-3 halftime lead, … Continued

Speculating on whether the Mets will make a run at Aaron Judge has become a pastime of sorts in New York. We still do not have a definitive answer either way, but the hot stove winds seem to indicate the Yankees slugger will not be moving across town. But what about the Bombers’ embattled general … Continued
