WFAN’s Joe Benigno loves Joe Flacco (just 7 days after destroying him)
WATCH: Giants great Eli Manning ‘walks on’ at Penn State
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
Goals for Knicks’ projected starting lineup, including RJ Barrett expectations
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
Brian Daboll’s faith in Giants players already paying dividends
The Giants have played far from perfect over the first two weeks of the NFL regular season. Doing everything perfectly isn’t the most important thing, though — winning is.

Mets finally do what’s expected of them and sweep Pirates
We’ve been talking a lot about the Mets’ soft September schedule, and for good reason. All contending teams dream about being in first place and having the league’s weakest remaining slate of regular-season games.

After yet another two-homer game on Sunday in Milwaukee, Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has 59 home runs and is on the precipice of history. New York’s next six games are at home, which sets the stage for a terrific moment in the Bronx. But what if he hits his 62nd home run on Friday when … Continued

Jets just saved their season (and more) | Week 2 NFL thoughts
Welcome to Victory Monday times two … The Jets saved their season. And quite possibly Robert Saleh’s career.
