We’ve entered the final month of MLB’s regular season. The Mets are in first place and have the easiest part of their schedule in front of them. They can cruise to their first division title since 2015, right? Not quite. At least, not after losing two of three to the Nationals over the weekend. The … Continued
A lost road trip later, the Yankees didn’t look any better against the rival Rays. Sunday’s sneaky 2-1 win capped a 4-6 10-game stretch on the road. New York is still lost at the plate and the AL East lead over Tampa Bay is down to five. It doesn’t matter that the schedule is softening … Continued
How is your Labor Day weekend going so far? It’s safe to assume that Dru Yearwood of the Red Bulls wishes he could have a couple of decisions back.

If only we had known to ask the Big Ten to blow up college sports sooner. The College Football Playoff’s board of managers (school presidents and chancellors representing the 10 FBS leagues and Notre Dame) have voted to expand the CFP to 12 teams. The expansion is scheduled to occur in 2026 when the current … Continued
Looking at a ballplayer’s numbers can speak volumes, but not as much as actually seeing them perform in person. Clearly, this is what happened for Clayton Kershaw when he watched Jacob deGrom pitch for the Mets during their series at Citi Field this week. Despite deGrom continuing to get older (as, you know, we all … Continued
The Giants admitted the truth Thursday — first with words, then with actions. They will be a very bad team in 2022. In fact, if these were not the classy and storied Football Giants, we might even be using the T-word that rhymes with “bank.” Which, to be far, is not the expletive so many … Continued

In case you missed it, the Yankees are calling up shortstop Oswald Peraza. What’s even more significant, however, is why Peraza is getting the call. This isn’t just some willy-nilly promotion for the last month of the season. After holding onto him at the trade deadline, it’s clear the Yankees very much like Peraza and what … Continued
There’s no way around it: Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has completely owned MLB’s home run leaderboard in 2022. He’s run away with it in such a fashion that he now has something in common with Babe Ruth. As the calendar flipped from August to September, Judge had a comfortable 15-homer lead over the next-closest slugger. … Continued
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.

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.

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.

If you’re a Mets fan, things are great right now.

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.

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.

Mike Francesa has been delivering well-timed radio industry wisdom on his BetRivers podcast.

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
