Now they return home following the Miracle in Cleveland to face a desperate Bengals team on Sunday at MetLife Stadium (1 p.m, CBS). The reigning AFC champions are 0-2 and battling a wicked Super Bowl hangover so far. Can Joe Flacco find … Continued
Once the MLB lockout was over and teams could finally report to spring training, front offices could also start signing free agents again.

After a perfect storm of injuries, lost starting jobs, and an awkward trade request with a dream rookie year mixed in, the Yankees have ended the Miguel Andujar experiment. Before Thursday’s win over Boston, the former star rookie was officially designated for assignment. He had been with the big league club amidst a slew of … Continued
For the most part, things are going great for the Giants. Head coach Brian Daboll has his squad off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2016 after a couple of gutsy wins. Nothing sucks the wind out of all that like a high-priced and unhappy wide receiver. That’s where Kenny Golladay comes … Continued
Aaron Judge will swing for history on Apple TV+. But not if YES Network has any say in the matter.

As the Yankees prepare to open up a four-game series against the Red Sox on Thursday, there’s a lot going on.

That’s what happens when you hit 60 homers and … Continued
This can happen when the head coach starts kicking ass and taking names. Brian Daboll has done nothing wrong from a football standpoint with Kenny Golladay. He has done everything right. Golladay has been a colossal flop with the Giants. The ridiculous contract he was given by the team’s clueless former general manager is the only … Continued
As the Jets prepare for a Week 3 battle with the Cincinnati Bengals, it’s OK to still be in shock about what they did in Cleveland this past Sunday. Being down 13 points with less than two minutes to play usually isn’t a recipe for success, but it was this time for wide receiver Garrett … Continued
We know the Mets are going to the postseason. But we don’t know how they will get there — NL East champions? Wild card?. Or who they will play upon arrival. The answer to the former question may have to wait until the 162nd game of the season, given the division race the Amazins find … Continued

The Mets have had a more eventful September than many of us have expected.

After completing a 4-3 homestand against the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh … Continued
Making history, a walk-off win, and another big win later, the Yankees pulled off a two-game sweep of the lowly Pirates. There’s so much to celebrate from this brief series.

Kenny Golladay is not making any plays, but he is generating headlines. The veteran wide receiver has been a colossal bust since signing with the Giants. And he played just two snaps in last Sunday’s win over the Panthers. Head coach Brian Daboll said Golladay handled his diminished role professionally. But Golladay made it clear … Continued
Aaron Judge has slugged his way into Yankees lore. But that does not mean he will stick around much longer. National reporter Buster Olney reiterated Judge could “absolutely” bolt in free agency this winter during a Wednesday hit on ESPN. “There is going to be an opportunity this winter for an owner to throw a … Continued
As good as Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer has performed throughout his MLB career, it’s clear he’s always thinking about ways to improve.

Sixty home runs later, we’re still talking about Yankees slugger Aaron Judge’s looming free agency. What we’re not talking about is how this could wind up helping the Yankees’ odds of re-signing him this winter. As things currently stand, Judge is the American League’s Triple Crown leader. He’s batting .316 with the aforementioned 60 home … Continued
Amid the expected media storm before, during, and after Aaron Judge’s 60th home run on Tuesday, the Yankees got some good injury news. On the pitching side, Frankie Montas’ shoulder MRI came back clean and showed only inflammation. Even better is he expects to return before the postseason and isn’t concerned about further injury. He’s … Continued
As the Giants prepare for their Week 3 matchup on Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys, they will continue to try and accomplish something they haven’t done in a while: remain undefeated.

Baseball in the Big Apple has been fun to follow for the majority of the 2022 MLB regular season. But honestly, it doesn’t get much better than what the Yankees and Mets both did on Tuesday night.

Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo wants the record books rewritten. The WFAN legend believes Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is two home runs away from being baseball’s true home run king. And that he should be considered the rightful single-season leader over Barry Bonds once he passes Roger Maris and hits his 62nd homer. “Bonds is not … Continued
Hollywood has officially run out of ideas. From TMZ Sports: Eli Manning’s portrayal of “Chad Powers” — a dude trying out for the Penn State football team — was so damn funny, the production company behind the two-time Super Bowl winner’s skit has been fielding offers from entertainment execs wanting to work with the signal-caller. … Continued
For the first time since 2016, the Mets are headed back to the postseason. New York secured this opportunity with a road win against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.

We’re two weeks into the 2022 NFL regular season, and all is well in Giants land. New York is in first place with a 2-0 record, fans are excited and loud, and head coach Brian Daboll has been successful in putting faith in his players to get things done. So naturally, let’s stir the pot … Continued

Does Yankees slugger Aaron Judge look like he’s on the verge of reaching milestones very few MLB hitters have achieved in the game’s history? If he’s feeling any kind of pressure, he’s not showing it. And that’s the case for both how he discusses it with the media and his play on the field. As … Continued
With the Cowboys and Bears on deck, could the 2-0 Giants start the season with four straight wins?
Technological innovation stops for no one. Not even Aaron Judge and his home run chase.

Say it with me, everyone: for the first time in six years, the New York Mets are headed to the playoffs. It’s been a wild ride between that NL Wild Card Game appearance in 2016 and the 2022 squad. A ride that’s only worthy of belonging to the Mets. New York has gone through six … Continued

Anthony Volpe may not be the Yankees’ shortstop of the future after all.

One week ago, Joe Benigno was calling for Mike White. Now, he’s a Joe Flacco fan following his incredible performance vs. Cleveland.
I will be the first to admit it: I completely missed the boat on Eli Manning’s post-NFL life. After spending three seasons reporting on him (2015-17) as a Giants beat writer, I assumed Manning would more or less disappear once he retired. Not that I knew him terribly well — feel, if any, people who … Continued
A new-look Knicks team means there needs to be an equally new-look team effort. Look no further than last season to see why. For one reason or another, the Knicks never got on the same page as a team and it all devolved from there. RJ Barrett was streaky in an otherwise career season and … Continued
