The Yankees aren’t the Yankees anymore, except in name. This isn’t about the team failing to win, let alone reach a World Series since 2009. It isn’t even about owner Hal Steinbrenner’s years-long indifference to general manager Brian Cashman’s growing incompetence. No, it is about that for a team that makes such a show and … Continued
Craig Carton just fired a shot across Michael Kay’s bow. The WFAN afternoon drive host did not mention his ESPN Radio New York rival by name. But there was no question who he was trashing on-air around 4 pm. Tuesday. Carton and partner Evan Roberts were riffing about missteps by Yankees manager Aaron Boone in … Continued
One of the reasons the Yankees are expected to bring back Aaron Boone as manager? They feel he is important to one of their core goals: Making it more enjoyable to play for the most storied team in the history of professional sports. No, seriously. From SNY: If Boone’s relentless positivity when talking about players … Continued
It’s been a couple of days since the Astros officially eliminated the Yankees in the ALCS. But everyone is still licking their proverbial wounds after getting swept by Houston. New York now enters a crucial offseason. But before any planning for 2023 can happen, owner Hal Steinbrenner needs to decide who will be leading the … Continued
And here we thought LIU canning Derek Kellogg in late June was a shocking local college basketball coaching move. Longtime Manhattan coach Steve Masiello is out just days before the start of the regular season, according to The Post. He was reportedly entering the final year of his deal and is gone after failing to … Continued
One glaring thing stands out when reviewing what’s happened with the Mets over the past two seasons. We’ve watched them occupy first place for the majority of 2021 and 2022. Just not at the right time. In 2021, New York spent a total of 114 days in first place. The final day they were atop … Continued
The Dodgers are reportedly preparing a heck of a sales pitch for Yankees slugger Aaron Judge. From MLB.com: Mookie Betts has won five Gold Glove awards as a right fielder.

You know what they say…Once a Giant, Always a Giant. And for a few special ones, like former defensive end Michael Strahan, Only a Giant. During Big Blue’s dramatic Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Strahan was watching in the NFL on FOX studios. He went through all kinds of emotions as New York … Continued
As I write this, clouds cover New York as a steady rain falls and makes the scene in the Bronx even more somber. In fact, the feeling’s not too far off from how we felt when the Yankees’ season ended last year. Another ALCS exit — this time a sweep — at the hands of … Continued
The 2022-23 NBA regular season is only three games old for the Nets, but it’s already been a bit of a roller coaster ride. And it has nothing to do with season-ticket sales being down. It’s regarding Ben Simmons and his propensity to commit fouls as often as he scores points. Brooklyn was in Memphis … Continued
If Aaron Judge’s heart is in San Francisco, there will apparently be a boatload of money waiting for him there as well. The Giants plan to go all-in on pursuing the Yankees slugger (and northern California native) in free agency. And “they won’t be underbid,” according to a report by NJ Advance Media that cites … Continued
The Jets have sent a conditional sixth-round pick to the Jaguars for running back James Robinson.
Jets offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker is out for the season after suffering a triceps injury Sunday.
There’s no way around it, folks — the Yankees’ ALCS performance against the Astros was pitiful. The goal for the Bronx Bombers each year is to win the World Series, but they haven’t even gotten to the Fall Classic since winning it all in 2009. The organization also has a crucial offseason ahead with Aaron … Continued
The 1-1 Nets are hitting the road on Monday night for their third game of the NBA season. They’ll be facing the 2-1 Memphis Grizzlies. After a disappointing 2021-22 campaign and a rough summer, there’s hope that Brooklyn’s Big Three of Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and Ben Simmons can help the organization take a step … Continued
The Mets are no longer participating in the MLB postseason, but that doesn’t mean the season is over for everyone. Top prospect Ronny Mauricio is playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic, and the 21-year-old is raking right now. Could that be helpful to New York as the organization enters a pivotal offseason full of … Continued
The Jets got lucky with Zach Wilson’s knee injury earlier this year. They did not enjoy the same outcome with Breece Hall. The rookie running back and budding star will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL in Sunday’s win at the Broncos, according to ESPN. Hall also suffered “a minor meniscus … Continued
That whole Yankees-Watch-The-2004-ALCS-Highlights-For-Motivation thing is no less mind-boggling a day later. And yes, WFAN legend Mike Francesa is aware. From his BetRivers podcast following the Astros’ four-game ALCS sweep: Get this straight: They actually used the Red Sox coming back in historic fashion against the Yankees, and expected that to be motivation for the Bombers. … Continued
Mike Francesa does not want to hear about the Yankees’ injuries any longer. Or home run balls getting knocked down by the open roof. Or the Astros’ past cheating. “The Yankees have become masters of the excuse,” the WFAN legend said on his BetRivers podcast after Houston wrapped up its ALCS sweep. “Nobody cares. Nobody … Continued
Another MLB season has come and gone in New York. For the third time since 2017, the Yankees were on the doorstep of returning to the World Series. Unfortunately, they’ve been denied on all three occasions by the Houston Astros. The most recent postseason meeting between these two was especially painful for the Bombers. There … Continued
As the Giants prepared for a Week 7 matchup against the Jaguars, the game plan seemed simple. With a top rushing defense and a secondary susceptible to the pass, it looked like New York would have to work through the air more. That’s exactly how Big Blue approached its opening possession on Sunday. On a … Continued
Aaron Judge stuck to the script. The Yankees slugger’s long-anticipated free agency has arrived after the Bombers were swept out of the ALCS by the Astros. And Judge said all the things you would expect him to say about his future in pinstripes following Sunday’s loss in the Bronx. “I haven’t even thought about the … Continued

The Yankees of Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman have demonstrated what they are capable of. Specifically ninety-something regular season wins, then a deflating October that frequently ends with an ass-kicking from the Astros and never concludes with a parade. They might be able to live with that most places. Even we managed to deal with … Continued
The Yankees put in their best effort of the ALCS, and that still wasn’t enough to beat the rival Astros. Houston came from behind twice to win Game 4 6-5 and complete the sweep, overcoming a 3-0 deficit early in the game. They’ll face the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series as the Yankees enter … Continued
Give the Jets credit. They have found a way to win games while still giving their fans something to complain and/or fret about. The streak is at four games now after Sunday’s 16-9 triumph over the Russell Wilson-less Broncos in Denver. Cornerback Sauce Gardner had a big day as part of a strong defensive effort. … Continued
You cannot blame the Yankees for trying to think positively. But this is a bit much. Aaron Boone said that Chad Bohling, the #Yankees’ mental skills coach, was sending around highlight videos of the 2004 Red Sox this morning. Eduardo Perez also FaceTimed David Ortiz into Boone’s office pregame. — Bryan Hoch ⚾️ (@BryanHoch) October … Continued

Game 3 of the ALCS was a disaster for the Yankees. Coming back to the Stadium after losing both games in Houston, it was important to get back on track before things get out of hand even more. The start of Saturday’s game was solid, as Gerrit Cole struck out the side in the first … Continued
The Yankees had Gerrit Cole on the mound, a rowdy Bronx crowd, and a great chance to get a game back in the ALCS. Once again, playoff futility struck New York and another lifeless performance commenced. Cole allowed five runs in five innings and the fans booed the team off the field by the sixth. … Continued

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman’s contract is up at the end of the year and with his team trailing the Astros 2-0 in the ALCS, he is of course in the fans’ crosshairs. The fans aren’t the only one. Just this past week, I said how the Yankees need to move on from him even … Continued
It’s not even November and the Shohei Ohtani trade rumors are in full force across baseball. The two-way star is fresh off yet another MVP-caliber season (although Aaron Judge should win the award) that broke plenty of records. He’s the first player to record 10-plus wins as a pitcher and hit at least 30 homers … Continued
The Broncos? A disaster. The Jets? One of the hottest teams in football. What a world. Gang Green is a one-point underdog on Sunday in Denver (via Sports Betting Dime) despite riding a three-game win streak. Can the Jets make it four in a row? Here are the ESNY staff picks: Matt Musico, editor. The … Continued
The surging Giants are underdogs this week in Jacksonville. Despite being tied for the second-best record in the NFL, the Jaguars are a three-point favorite on Sunday (via Sports Betting Dime). Here are this week’s ESNY staff picks: Matt Musico, editor. I feel like I’m going to have to start picking the Giants until they lose … Continued
As the 5-1 Giants prepare to face off against the Jaguars on the road in Jacksonville, head coach Brian Daboll will continue to have one of his biggest weapons on offense. That’s running back Saquon Barkley, who has been bothered by a shoulder injury since Big Blue’s comeback win in London against the Green Bay … Continued
Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore is unhappy with his role, has requested a trade, and now won’t be active against the Broncos.
Mets closer Edwin Diaz has set himself up for a huge payday this winter. It sounds like he’s looking to set a new standard for relievers, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. This shouldn’t be shocking news. Not too long ago, we said Diaz had a chance to break a couple of … Continued
In case it wasn’t obvious, the Yankees have had a Clarke Schmidt problem this postseason. In fairness, he hasn’t really been set up for success. He blew the save in Game 3 of the ALDS. In the Yankees 4-2 loss in Game 1 of the ALCS on Wednesday, he was asked to protect a 1-1 … Continued
