Mets Owner Wishes The Yankees Wouldn't Spend So Much Money
The Yankees are up to their old tricks, putting together a championship-caliber club with a combination of a stocked prospect pool and deep, deep pockets.

Report: Carmelo Anthony Used To Snooze Through Phil Jackson's Mindfulness Routines

Jets Offensive Coordinator Admits He Gave Up Against Broncos
Okay, so the Jets’ offense didn’t turn out to be historically awful this season, as I said it had a chance to be. Shoot me. Hell, the Jets even have five wins, which is ... something, I guess. But it still took a grand total of 13 games for their offensive coordinator to cop to saying, Fuck it, let’...
Michael Beasley Was The Space Oddity The Knicks Needed

Put Away Your Pitchforks, Eli Manning Is Starting Again
The outrage that followed now-fired Giants coach Ben McAdoo’s benching of Eli Manning was mountainous and seemingly never-ending.

IOC Bans Russia From The 2018 Winter Olympics For Absurdly Intricate Doping Scheme
The International Olympic Committee announced today that it has banned Russia—but not all Russian athletes—from the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, as an unprecedented punishment for systemic doping, including at the 2014 Games in Sochi. ...
Ben McAdoo Mercifully Fired
Ben McAdoo said after yesterday’s loss in Oakland that he’s “going to coach this team as long as my key card works.” The Giants allowed his key card to work just long enough for him to get in the door at team HQ, and then they fired him....
Here's Some Stuff Enes Kanter Is Doing
It feels as though the Thunder will eventually sort out their issues, but for now they are 8-12 and Carmelo Anthony is off giving quavering interviews about anger. Meanwhile, New York might be permitted to believe that it won a trade for once. ...
Here's The Weird Song James Dolan Wrote For The Deadspin Awards
Our own Dave McKenna wrote a profile of James Dolan last year, and so he has Dolan’s contact information. Half-jokingly, we told McKenna to reach out to Dolan and ask if he wanted to participate in this year’s Deadspin Awards. Much to our bewilderment, we got this:...
The Giants Really Screwed Up Eli Manning's Exit

Giants Find Yet Another Way To Fail
Perhaps tired of seeing Eli Manning’s leadership of the New York offense come up dreadfully short, Giants coach Ben McAdoo called a toss for running back Shane Vereen and hoped he could give the team a lead with a tricky pass play. It went as well as any other McAdoo decision this year, with Vereen ...
Kristaps Porzingis, Please Get Better At Falling Down

Enes Kanter, After Getting Punked: "Nobody Out There Gonna Punk Us"
There was nothing wrong with the Knicks getting all riled up over LeBron James’s assertion that the team would have been better off drafting Dennis Smith Jr. over Frank Ntilikina. It was even heartening to see young Frank get up in the King’s personal space last night, and to see Enes Kanter coming ...
