We'll never see another Doc Gooden
You know you’re getting old when you remember Doc Gooden’s no-hitter with the Yankees on May 14, 1996. It was now 25 years ago — so long ago that the Mets have gone through multiple waves of promising young pitchers who ultimately disappointed: Pulsipher, Wilson, Isringhausen. Harvey, etc....
Uh-oh, Jarred Kelenic is off to a good start (and the Mets are probably stewing)

Liberty’s Ionescu shows she’s ready for bright lights, big city impact
Friday night was not Sabrina Ionescu’s first WNBA game, but it really might as well have been. Last year’s No. 1 draft pick only made three appearances in the Wubble last summer, and her rookie campaign came to an abrupt end on July 31 when she suffered a severe ankle sprain....
Have you been sleeping on Andrew Wiggins?
People have been calling Andrew Wiggins a bust for what feels like forever....
Why are the Twins such a bad team in non-9-inning games? Like, 0-11 bad
The Minnesota Twins probably weren’t expecting to be where they currently sit heading into this season. Minnesota reached the playoffs in three of the last four seasons, and were looking to return once again in 2021 in the hopes of actually winning a playoff series for the first time since 2003. So ...
Let's predict each NFL team's win-loss record!
The NFL season is still four months away, but with the draft, the schedule release, and most of free agency in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to start looking forward to a season with lots of storylines to follow, more games than ever before, and fewer preseason games than ever before (three is sti...
Which NBA teams are poised to end their lengthy playoff drought this year?
This NBA season has brought a fresh energy to the regular season. The new Play-In Tournament and the rise of new teams to prominence (the Knicks are good now, wut?!) have made this one of the most compelling NBA regular seasons in recent memory....
With Alex Rodriguez as ownership, at least there’s a damn Latino in the room
Look at what it takes to get a seat at the table....
The biggest problem facing Jets rookie Zach Wilson right now is… his mom
Move over LaVar Ball, there’s a new MPP “most problematic parent” in sports, and her son hasn’t even taken a snap in the NFL yet....
NFL schedule offers weird and wonderful highlights (and, oddly, a lot of Saints in primetime)
Football people are weird people, because we get giddy over something as simple as a schedule release. That giddy feeling happened last night, as the NFL (and it’s teams’ social media departments) released their full 18-week slate for the upcoming season, which will be the first in which every team ...

Yanks hit with three positive COVID-19 ‘breakthrough cases’ despite vaccinations

After 28 years, hockey finally corrects its Habs-Leafs mistake
The NHL has been through so many realignments that sometimes you wonder if it shouldn’t just do a random draw before every season (actually, that’s not a terrible idea). It’s when you get to the real aims of past realignments that things get more interesting. ...

Draymond Green says Warriors are not We Believe 2.0 because they have ‘F**king Steph Curry’ on their team
Steph Fucking Curry, that is....
Man City are the standard, and indeed, built for ‘this’
When it comes to Manchester City, they’ll never be free of the debate or criticism that their success is bought through Saudi oil money. And their counter that they have the best manager in the world in Pep Guardiola will never be enough to convince anyone who focuses on the first point. The truth i...
Jazz fans could be singing the blues if the Dubs are their first-round playoff opponent
There are few men as universally feared in the NBA as Steph Curry. You take your eye off of him for one second and — BAM! — he pulls up from 45 feet, and now you’re down two. But while Curry might instill terror into the hearts of his opponents, the Golden State Warriors definitely don’t. With just ...
