It's Been 20 Years Since Peyton Manning, The Jets, And The Draft That Might Have Been
Twenty years ago, the NFL draft was marked by one of the most fateful quarterback choices in league history: Peyton Manning’s decision to stay at the University of Tennessee for his senior year. The Jets, who had the No. 1 pick in 1997, are still reeling from the aftershocks. And it all may have bee...
The Rangers Are Too Much And Too Fast For The "Kanata Wall"
The Senators are not a fast team, or at least that’s not how they want to play. They are a team designed to win close, low-scoring games, and they’ve generally done so with an effective defense designed by coach Guy Boucher to funnel everything to the sides of the ice. But the Rangers are barging st...
Aaron Judge Is So Much More Than Magnificent Dingers

CNBC Interview With Derek Jeter And Alex Rodriguez Was Awkward From The Start
Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez sat down with CNBC’s Bob Pisani at a charity event on Tuesday to talk about their good works and show people how much they care, but Pisani wanted to get to the good stuff—namely, the state of the once-contentious relationship between the former players, A-Rod dating...
In Praise Of A Perfect Helper
The Rangers’s 4-1 pummeling of the Senators in Game 3 was maybe the most expected thing in the world. New York is almost certainly the better team to begin with in this series, and has played like the better team for long stretches of it. Here’s a stat: Still down 2-1 after last night’s win, the Ran...
Yankees' Aaron Judge Sows Destruction During Batting Practice
Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge, who may not know his own strength, is accidentally breaking stuff. Today during batting practice, in the major league equivalent of a kid breaking a window while playing in the front yard, Judge blasted a tater into a terrace at Yankee Stadium and destroyed a TV....
CC Sabathia Says Every Black Player Expects Racist Taunts At Fenway
Orioles outfielder Adam Jones says Red Sox fans shouted racist insults at him in Fenway Park last night, and some of the dumbest people in sports media have spent the day wondering not only if Jones is telling the truth, but why Boston fans have a reputation for being racist in the first place. Thos...
I Can't Decide What To Get David Brooks For His Wedding
I mean obviously the first and most important point is: Mazel tov! After a few years of harrowing personal crisis for America’s Foremost Moral Decay Diagnostician, our boy David Brooks has at last found love, and gotten married (to his 23-years-younger former research assistant)!...
Based On Nothing, The Knicks Getting Dwight Howard Seems Inevitable<em></em>
Dwight Howard is suddenly unhappy with his situation in Atlanta, and the Hawks probably wouldn’t be averse to trading him if the right deal came along. But does anyone really want Dwight?...
Noah Syndergaard Is Going To Be Out For A Bit
Mets ace Noah Syndergaard was pulled from his start yesterday in the second inning with what was described as an injury to his lat muscle. This happened after Syndergaard had already had his start pushed back due to biceps tendonitis. Today, the Mets have revealed that the big hurler suffered a part...
It Just Keeps Getting Worse For The Mets
The Mets’ season has mostly been an exercise in maximizing use of the new 10-day disabled list, which has been the biggest contributing factor in the fact that they’ve lost an awful lot this year. (They haven’t been so far below .500 since 2014.) The bad seemingly got worse today, with Noah Synderga...
The Yankees' Ridiculous Comeback Included The Hardest-Hit Home Run On Record
Down by as many as eight runs at their lowest point last night, the Yankees managed to pull off quite the comeback against the Orioles—going from being down 9-1 in the sixth to winning 14-11 in the tenth....
Masahiro Tanaka Intensified An Existential Crisis For The Red Sox Offense<em></em>
Tonight’s Yankees-Red Sox game was, for once, short—the shortest of my life. That was courtesy of a pitchers’ duel between Masahiro Tanaka and Chris Sale, in which both were excellent but in wholly different ways....
The Mets Had Yet Another Rotten Day
Remember the Mets? You know, the team that made a surprise run to the 2015 World Series thanks to Yoenis Cespedes’s strong hitting, then made the play-in game last year, all the while flashing one of the deepest and most dominant young rotations baseball had seen in years? Things aren’t going well f...
This Is The Story About Robert Kraft's Casino Holdings That Rupert Murdoch's Paper Never Ran<em></em>
It goes without saying (hey there, Las Vegas Raiders!) that the NFL’s gambling policy is a hypocritical mess. But now that I no longer work for Rupert Murdoch, I can plainly state that every word out of Roger Goodell’s mouth about legalized sports betting for the past 20 months has been nothing but ...
The Mets Are All Messed Up
The Mets are all broken, and they’re exhibiting an impressive range of maladies all at one time. Manager Terry Collins ran through the list of injuries currently afflicting his team today, and it took him quite a while:...
White Sox Witness Large Man's Large Dong<em></em>
Big New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge made great use of an ill-advised Dylan Covey pitch, launching an intercontinental home run 448 feet into the night off the Rule 5 pick, who was making his second major-league start....
Report: Carmelo Anthony And His Wife La La Have Separated, Maybe Because The Knicks Suck
According to TMZ, the stress of the New York Knicks’ failure-ridden embarrassment of a season and ongoing incompetence contributed to the separation of Carmelo Anthony and his TV-star wife La La, who have been together for more than a decade and have been married since 2010....
Canned Player Quotes From Jets PR, Annotated
The Jets were one of 23 NFL teams to begin their 2017 offseason program today. Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement, the first two weeks of the offseason program are limited to strength and conditioning and rehab.

Stephen A. Smith: "This Damn Phil Jackson Is Still In New York City!"
For anyone masochistic enough to still care about the Knicks, this weekend felt a lot like rock bottom. President Phil Jackson spent Friday afternoon publicly alienating his star player Carmelo Anthony. He also stated that no Knicks player—including Kristaps Porzingis—was off the bargaining table, q...
