The initial instinct is to blame the Phillies. They’re the ones that thought it was a good idea to invite the creep while honoring the 1980 World Series team. To fete the guy who they had to uninvite in a similar spot a few years ago because he got accused of statutory rape. But doing … Continued
You cannot tell the story of Derek Jeter without telling the story of Alex Rodriguez. So ESPN’s “The Captain” documentary series was always going to spend time on their complicated relationship. And now they’re really wringing every last drop of drama out of it. Jeter will be an in-studio guest with Yankees play-by-player Michael Kay … Continued
We’ll cut to the chase. The Mets we saw this weekend can win the World Series. Will win the World Series. We’ll call our shot now. If Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer stay healthy, there will be an Amazin’ parade down the Canyon of Heroes a few weeks before Thanksgiving. The game evolves, but the same … Continued
Spare us the 162 one-game season talk. This is not an overreaction. It is a crisis. This Yankees season started historic and has since slid into mediocrity. The tumble became quite violent this weekend in St. Louis. The Cardinals are a good team. They always are. They’re also maybe the fourth- or fifth-best team in … Continued
It took until August, but the Yankees hit rock bottom in St. Louis. A very winnable series turned into a sweep. The Yankees just couldn’t execute or finish in three games with the Cardinals. Paul DeJong, who was hitting .140 entering the series, hit .333 against New York with six RBI, including the game-winning hit … Continued
Mike Francesa is not impressed. “Yankee pitching is now completely off the rails,” the WFAN legend tweeted Sunday as the Cardinals were teeing off on the Bombers en route to a 12-9 win and a series sweep this weekend in St. Louis. The recently-acquired Frankie Montas got bombed in his debut, allowing six runs on … Continued

After running off many of its veteran voices, WFAN is bringing one back. Joe Benigno is returning to the station in a part-time (and somewhat wide-ranging) capacity. He made the announcement during a call-in with Craig Carton and Evan Roberts on Friday afternoon. The details: Benigno is going to do a weekly Saturday show at … Continued
Yankees minor league infielder Derek Dietrich has been suspended 50 games after testing positive for the stimulant DMPA. Wow. MLB says it has suspended Derek Dietrich w/o pay for 50 games for testing positive for 1,4-dimethylpentylamine, or DMPA, which it says is a banned stimulant. Dietrich was at Triple-A w/ the Yankees. — Brendan Kuty … Continued
Former NFL GM Mike Lombardi tries to compare the Dolphins’ tampering to the Eagles-Nate Sudfeld debacle.

Nestor Cortes has been a joy this year. The All-Star bid, arm angles, mustache, nickname, proposal, all of it. And now the Yankees have to hope the clock doesn’t strike midnight on him anytime soon. Because he has become the key to it all. The Yankees aren’t going to win the World Series unless Cortes delivers … Continued
I have not been able to find this Daniel Vogelbach quote anywhere else. So we cannot confirm it is real. But does it really matter? “I hit my home runs in bunches, just like I get my donuts.” #LGM ~ Daniel Vogelbach * Yes, this is a real quote. pic.twitter.com/pOO25G7buI — WardyNYM (@TheWardyNYM) August 5, … Continued

ESPN recently released its projected offensive line rankings for the 2022 NFL season.
The fifth and sixth installments of ESPN’s Derek Jeter docuseries “The Captain” covered the latter half of the Hall of Fame shortstops career. Two hours later, it was hard to not feel at least a little bit underwhelmed since the show once again covered subjects most people, at least us Yankees folk, already knew. Yet, … Continued
Alex Rodriguez had a remarkable, albeit controversial, career for the Yankees. Rodriguez is among the top-10 in franchise history in many offensive categories. He was a seven-time All-Star in pinstripes, winning three Silver Slugger and two MVP awards and a World Series. And then there are the steroids, the opt-out, the suspension, the feuds and … Continued

It’s been quiet on the Donovan Mitchell-to-the-Knicks front. Very quiet. But we have a small smidge of movement. The Jazz want a massive haul of draft picks, according to HoopsHype. The Knicks could make that happen, given they own eight first-round picks they have over the next seven years. But they do not want to … Continued
The Yankees play the Cardinals this weekend. And that’s special. You’d never know it, but it’s true. The Cardinals are the most successful team in baseball history after the Yankees. New York’s 27 championships are followed by St Louis’ Midwesternly modest 11. But the Cardinals hold a 3-2 lead in the five Fall Classics involving the … Continued
Ochocinco thinks Zach Wilson is drawing similarities to a certain superstar NFL quarterback.
The Jets are into week two of their training camp.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman granted WFAN’s Craig Carton and Evan Roberts a post-trade deadline audience Thursday afternoon. The somewhat-vexing Jordan Montgomery deal came up during the interview. In case you missed it: Cashman dealt Montgomery, a reliable lefty with a 3.69 ERA, to the Cardinals for currently-injured outfielder Harrison Bader right before the buzzer. … Continued
The Yankees called the Nationals about Juan Soto. But it did not get much farther than that. General manager Brian Cashman kicked the tires with Washington general manager Mike Rizzo about the superstar outfielder. But the Yankees never had a chance. Cashman said that was clear before the blockbuster deal that sent Soto to the … Continued
The Phillies have released Didi Gregorius. He was batting .210 with a home run and 19 RBI this year and they needed a roster spot for Jean Segura. So not a huge surprise. The natural next question: Would/should/could the Yankees look to bring him back? A Gregorius reunion would have been a classic move in … Continued

Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo is great. But Mike Francesa is still Numbah One.

He argued Russo has overtaken his former “Mike and the Mad Dog” co-host and fellow WFAN icon as the GOAT of … Continued
The Mets are playing some of their best baseball right now. They’ve won eight of their past nine games and remain 3.5 games up on the Braves in the NL East.

The dog days of August are officially upon the Yankees. Yes, the Mariners are good. But The Bronx Bombers did not acquit themselves well in this series loss. Seattle tagged ace Gerrit Cole for six runs in the first inning on Wednesday after Jameson Taillon continued to struggle Tuesday. Even with an 11-game lead over … Continued
Joe Flacco is having a nice training camp over at One Jets Drive. So much so, head coach Robert Saleh is saying the 37-year-old veteran quarterback deserves a promotion. “He can start in this league,” Saleh told reporters. “I believe that. Sometimes this league has a tendency to put labels on people, and then their … Continued
Many, this website included, assumed the NFL’s decision to appeal Deshaun Watson’s suspension would potentially keep him on the field. That the NFLPA would inevitably file a lawsuit in response to whatever revised punishment commissioner Roger Goodell (or his designee) handed down, which could lead to some sort of court-mandated freeze on the ban. It … Continued
Remember SlamBall? The basketball-on-trampolines thing on TNN back in the early 2000s? Vaguely? OK, cool. Well, it’s coming back. From Sports Business Journal: SlamBall is planning on making its return in the summer of 2023 in Las Vegas with a regular season and playoffs to be broadcast live. The goal also is for this to … Continued
Stats are funny things. Especially baseball stats. But this Gerrit Cole one is pretty rough. And concerning for the Yankees. Gerrit Cole is the 2nd pitcher in the Modern era (since 1900) to allow at least 3 home runs in the 1st inning of a game multiple times in the same season (Cole also did … Continued

The NFL has appealed Deshaun Watson’s six-game suspension for repeated sexual misconduct with massage therapists, as expected. When the appeal is heard, the Browns quarterback’s ban will almost assuredly be longer. Significantly longer, in all likelihood. That said, an appeal also improves Watson’s chances to stay on the field in the short term. And play … Continued
The MLB trade deadline has come and gone. Which feels strange, since we’ve been talking about it around here since May or so. But pencils are now down. The Mets and Yankees are pretty much finished products, save some call-ups and potential waiver claims. These are the teams that will bid to win the World … Continued
The second-year quarterback has deleted all the social media apps off his phone with training camp already underway.
Not a surprise, but an ESPN panel has voted former Giants star Lawrence Taylor the greatest edge rusher in NFL history. And the results looked like a rigged election: He picked up 80% of the vote. From ESPN: Taylor announced himself to the league as a rookie in 1981 with 133 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 8 … Continued

Our general rule of thumb with the NFL: In any given year, there are a few elite teams, a few horrid teams and then a massive pack in the middle that will win 6-10 games based on schedule strength and the breaks they catch, good or bad. The Giants have gotten some good news on … Continued

Mark Chernoff still has regrets about the end of “Mike and the Mad Dog.” “I wish they hadn’t separated,” the former WFAN program director said on The Jason Barrett Podcast. “It was the most amazing team.
