If you’re a Mets fan, there’s reason to be proud of the Amazins this week. In a potential playoff preview with the Dodgers, baseball’s best team, New York secured two victories in three tries. Better yet, this helped them win the season series against Los Angeles by taking four of seven. Citi Field was rocking … Continued
Folks, we made it. We’ve had the luxury of watching some preseason football, but that can only take us so far. Now that it’s September, Week 1 of the NFL season is right around the corner, which means the Jets and Giants will soon be playing football that counts again. Both squads will get their … Continued
The football stuff first: This will be a season where Rutgers likely takes a step back, but then can take three steps forward down the road. The Scarlet Knights have more talent now than last year. That does not mean the record will improve. The schedule is more challenging. The offensive line will improve, but … Continued
The lead story: The Knicks are still looking for their superstar. Donovan Mitchell will not be coming home after the Jazz traded him to the Cavaliers on Thursday in a blockbuster deal.

Donovan Mitchell is not coming home. And the Knicks still don’t have a superstar. The Jazz have traded the guard to the Cavaliers, according to ESPN.

The sponsored interview is a time-honored tradition. An athlete or celebrity is paid handsomely by a company to hawk its product. The company then lines up a series of media interviews. Reporters ask a few questions about things people actually care about, then humor the subject as they blabber about the product. The reporter gets … Continued
Arguing whether or not Joe Flacco is an elite quarterback is a debate we’ve been having since what feels like the beginning of time. It became prominent enough of a conversation that Flacco himself discussed it 10 years ago as a member of the Ravens. Fast-forward a decade later, though, and his own kids have … Continued

The 2022 MLB regular season has been a tale of two different campaigns for the Yankees. Prior to the All-Star break, manager Aaron Boone’s club owned a 64-28 record. It was easily the best in baseball, and the American League East was all but theirs thanks to a 13-game cushion over the Rays. After a … Continued
The Jets trimmed their roster to 53 players. But the work might not be done in finding the top guys for Week 1.
Darius Slayton has been granted a reprieve. But it remains to be seen for how long. The wide receiver is expected to be on the Giants’ Week 1 roster, general manager Joe Schoen told reporters Thursday. Slayton has been the topic of consistent roster move speculation all offseason. The salary cap-strapped Giants were expected to … Continued
This is not a political post. It’s just a funny one. Nick Adams — the MAGA Twitter guy who is always yakking about Tim Tebow — has graced the world with his first-ever fantasy football preview. Or, as he calls it, “a comprehensive draft guide to ensure your team is loaded with faith, patriotism and … Continued
If you’re a Mets fan, things are great right now. That’s especially the case after watching Jacob deGrom, Brandon Nimmo, and friends even up a potential postseason preview with the Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday night at Citi Field. Naturally, the fan base had to be taken off Cloud 9 this morning, courtesy of Andy Martino … Continued
We know you remember Jordan Montgomery. The former Yankees southpaw made sure of that by going 4-0 with a 1.78 ERA in his first five starts with the Cardinals. But what about the guy the Bombers traded him for at the deadline? We may finally start to see if Harrison Bader was worth the move. … Continued
The 2022 regular season has been just about everything any Mets fan could hope for. The Amazins are entering the final month with a three-game lead in the National League East and are one of baseball’s best teams. FanGraphs currently has New York’s odds of winning the division at 84.8% and odds of winning the … Continued
The lead story: The Yankees stink again. They’ve dropped four of five now after Shohei Ohtani’s three-run blast — aided by errors from Josh Donaldson and Isiah Kiner-Falefa — ruined a strong start by Gerrit Cole in a 3-2 loss in Anaheim. The sidebar: Timmy Trumpet played the trumpet. Edwin Diaz slammed the door shut … Continued
At long last, the Yankees’ forgettable August is over. New York went 10-18 this month and has just stopped hitting. Only Aaron Judge has been productive, or Anthony Rizzo when his back isn’t ailing him. The YES broadcast noted during Wednesday’s game that the Yankees had eight games in August where they had four or … Continued
Mets centerfielder Brandon Nimmo made the catch of the year Wednesday night.
The late Regis Philbin was the greatest talk show host of all time. He was also a lifelong New Yorker and a diehard Yankees and sports fan. And he had a gig on FS1 back in the day. So we are cleared to write about him when needed. And we certainly must do that here. … Continued
The Giants have trimmed their roster down to 53 players, but the work is just beginning for general manager Joe Schoen.
Additional online operators, a reduced tax rate, and more betting options are all a possibility for New York online sports betting within the next year or two. Sen. Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. recently spoke with Elite Sports New York and said all of these changes will likely be discussed as proposed improvements for New York … Continued
FOX is really milking the reveal process with Craig Carton’s FS1 morning show. The WFAN afternoon drive host’s new television venture has a name and time and will launch Sept. 6. But beyond that, details remain scarce. From the FS1 press release: The all-new THE CARTON SHOW kicks off at 7:00 AM ET, featuring Craig … Continued
Mike Francesa has been delivering well-timed radio industry wisdom on his BetRivers podcast. The WFAN legend railed against “guy talk” on Monday’s episode, perhaps taking veiled shots at successor Craig Carton. And on Tuesday — hours before Audacy refuted a report it is headed for bankruptcy — he went in-depth on the state of the … Continued
View this post on Instagram A post shared by ESNY (@elitesportsny) The night wasn’t a complete lost cause. Yes, the Dodgers’ 4-3 win over the Mets kept closer Edwin Diaz in the bullpen and denied the world Timmy Trumpet’s live rendition of “Narco.” But Trumpet did still, um, play the trumpet. He performed … Continued
The lead story: The trumpets are on hold. The Dodgers got some timely hitting and shut down the Mets’ bats in a 4-3 win on Tuesday night at Citi Field. That meant Timmy Trumpet didn’t get to perform “Narco” live for closer Edwin Diaz. But he says he will return Wednesday to try again! The … Continued
Audacy, which owns WFAN, WCBS, WINS and a slew of other New York radio stations (as well as Philadelphia’s WIP and other big outlets), is clearly in financial crisis. But it adamantly denied it is preparing to file for bankruptcy on Tuesday night. “A blog post published today falsely claimed that Audacy’s CEO confirmed Audacy’s … Continued
Darius Slayton knows he’s likely on his way out of New York. The Giants should certainly trade the fourth-year wide receiver.
Timmy Trumpet, who helped create Edwin Diaz’s entrance song “Narco,” is in attendance at Citi Field for Tuesday’s Mets game.

When Tom Coughlin fell on his sword after the 2015 season, the Giants had missed the playoffs for four straight years and had just posted a third consecutive losing season.

The nosediving Yankees were just gifted the earliest Christmas present and are already on the verge of wasting it. Astros ace Justin Verlander is going to the injured list with a calf injury. The 39-year-old righty was dominant in his first season back from Tommy John surgery. Verlander is 16-3 and owns an MLB-best 1.84 … Continued

Stephen A. Smith has had enough of Leon Rose’s hiding act. The ESPN First Take host blasted the Knicks president for his refusal to speak to the media during Tuesday’s program while discussing RJ Barrett’s new contract extension. Smith even went as far as to suggest he is entering the “disaster” territory that ex-Knicks front … Continued
The lead story: The Yankees are swooning again. Aaron Judge blasted his 50th home run of the season on Monday night in Anaheim, but it still wasn’t enough.

If you don’t see these Donovan Mitchell/Knicks trade rumors and don’t immediately think of Carmelo Anthony, then you clearly don’t remember your history. SNY’s Ian Begley recently noted the Jazz “certainly” would like young star RJ Barrett in any deal for Mitchell. This should immediately sound the alarm for any and all Knicks fans, even if … Continued
Alex Rodriguez fell short of buying the Mets. He apparently wants to buy the Marlins, but they are not for sale. And now the former Yankees star and ESPN/FOX analyst’s ongoing deal to be a part-owner of the Timberwolves with billionaire tycoon Marc Lore is reportedly on shaky ground — in part because he is … Continued
The phrase “playoff preview” is tossed around often when referring to highly-anticipated regular season matchups in sports. But sometimes it actually means something. This is one of those times. The Mets’ three-game homestead against the Dodgers, starting Tuesday at Citi Field, feels like a dry run for the NLCS as long as the Amazins hold … Continued
The New York Knicks are making a commitment to RJ Barrett, one that contains nine figures. Barrett, 22, is inking a four-year extension per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. SNY’s Ian Begley added more intel on the structure of Barrett’s deal, which could reach $120 million if he nails his incentives. Barrett’s extension – which makes him … Continued
Mike Francesa may have just been reflecting on his beliefs and career. He may have been trying to throw a brushback pitch at a longtime adversary. Or perhaps it was a little bit of both? The WFAN legend is back from Saratoga and back podcasting. He answered a slew of listener emails Monday on his … Continued
If Yankees fans are banking on Austin Wells as the catcher of the future, one analyst believes they will be sorely disappointed. The Athletic’s Keith Law did not mince words in a recent scouting notebook. He said Wells, the Bombers’ first-round pick in 2020, is not equipped to catch in the big leagues and the … Continued
Remember Kenny Golladay’s world tour? Few events have ever summed up the folly of NFL free agency. B-plus players continually have A-plus money thrown at them because teams are often shopping desperate. Especially when you inexplicably gave Dave Gettleman one more year to drive your franchise into the ground further. Golladay had caught 11 touchdowns … Continued

The lead story: The Yankees scuffled again in Oakland. Their offense was impotent for a second straight day, falling to the Athletics, 4-1, on Sunday to split the four-game series. They were outscored 9-6 over the last three games after a 13-4 romp to open the series. The sidebars: The Mets fell short of a … Continued
