To be clear: We are not there yet. Nowhere near there, in fact. And the odds we ever get there are slim. That said, Robert Saleh’s infamous receipts rant is starting to feel a lot more like when Jim Fassel pushed his chips into the middle of the table. And a lot less like when … Continued
The 2022-23 MLB offseason wasn’t even a day old before the Mets made a big splash. It was a record-breaking one, too, as New York and Edwin Diaz agreed to a five-year, $102 million contract. This isn’t just one of the largest contracts in franchise history, folks. It’s the first time a reliever has earned … Continued

Not the same old Jets. https://twitter.com/overtime/status/15893647169123819522 Sunday’s 20-17 win over the Bills changes everything. Had the Jets lost, they were risking a tailspin from 5-2 to 5-5, and perhaps worse. Last week’s disappointing loss to the Patriots had them trended in the wrong direction given how heavy a favorite Buffalo was. But this upset victory sends … Continued
Jets running back Michael Carter runs it in from six yards out. New York is trailing the Bills 14-10 at the half.
The World Series is officially in the books, folks. The Houston Astros took down the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. The ‘Stros got to celebrate the accomplishment on their home field. That’s the first time a champion has had this opportunity since the 2013 Boston Red Sox. Manager Dusty Baker finally gets his well-deserved World … Continued
Business is about to pick up for the New York Jets. They will host the AFC-leading Buffalo Bills on Sunday at MetLife Stadium as 12.5-point home underdogs (via Sports Betting Dime). Here are the ESNY staff picks: Matt Musico, editor. Well, last week didn’t go how the Jets wanted. Their prize? Facing the most complete … Continued

The Jets just suffered a tough loss to the Patriots and must face another AFC East rival when the Bills come to town Sunday.
Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman spoke to the New York media on Friday as part of a typical end-of-the-season press conference. The Yankees won 99 games and the American League East, but it was another disappointing finish after getting swept by the Houston Astros in the ALCS. Boone and Cashman will likely be back in … Continued
Winston Churchill supposedly remarked Americans will always do the right thing after exhausting all other options. There is no proof he actually said this, but no matter. The sentiment still comes to mind when it comes to the raging tire fire in Brooklyn. In short, just because the Nets finally managed to do the right … Continued

The New York Yankees will pick up Luis Severino’s $15 million option for 2023, according to general manager Brian Cashman. Cashman announced the team’s intentions at his otherwise uneventful end-of-year press conference. Brian Cashman said that the #Yankees will pick up Luis Severino’s option for 2023. — Bryan Hoch ⚾️ (@BryanHoch) November 4, 2022 This … Continued
As we sit here on Friday morning, the Nets have only played one game this week. It happened on Tuesday and was a loss to the Chicago Bulls. Sharpshooter Kevin Durant just wants to play basketball, but the focus has been on everything except the court over the last few days in Brooklyn. Between Kyrie … Continued
The Mets are about to embark on a crucial offseason with lots of important roster decisions that need to be made. That’s mostly because New York has several impact players from its 101-win squad about to hit the open market. The pitching staff — especially the starting rotation — looks bare right now. Max Scherzer … Continued
Before we take yet another look at Aaron Judge and his upcoming free agency bonanza, I’d like to briefly revisit another Yankees free agency story. After the 2010 season, the Yankees wanted to sign Cliff Lee. He’d just posted a 3.18 ERA for the Mariners and Rangers. The year before, pitching for the Phillies, he … Continued
The Houston Astros head home needing just one more win against the Philadelphia Phillies to clinch another World Series title. Whether the Fall Classic ends on Saturday or Sunday, it’ll move us that much closer to the MLB offseason and Hot Stove rumors. The Mets and Yankees are two teams with roster holes to fill … Continued
It has been a big week for Jose Canseco. The former slugger went on a wild tweetstorm about Yankees star Aaron Judge’s free agency, imploring him to sign elsewhere (and to accept a strange home run derby challenge) while trashing New York and Yankees fans. And now he has expanded on his thoughts in a … Continued
Aaron Boone played for the Yankees. He now manages the Yankees. And he is not buying what some of his charges — and maybe his front office? — are apparently selling. Boone dismissed the idea the Bombers’ enraged fanbase is having a negative impact on the team and could push players out of the Bronx … Continued
The fourth time was the charm for Kyrie Irving. The Nets star finally offered an apology for promoting an antisemitic film in a since-deleted tweet on Thursday night. But only after he was suspended indefinitely by the team and ripped by NBA commissioner Adam Silver. And after he had failed to apologize three previous times. … Continued
WFAN’s Craig Carton was pretty blunt about Jets quarterback Zach Wilson during an appearance on Kay Adams’ “Up & Adams” FanDuel TV show.

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
