Janoris Jenkins To Terrelle Pryor: "U Really Sucks"
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor felt a little miffed after he saw (some of) New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins’s comments on him this week, which added a little animosity to today’s game. The Giants won 27-13, dropping the Browns to 0-12, and Jenkins followed up with a little m...
King Kristaps Dunked On A Plumlee
The New York Knicks’ resident Big Boy Kristaps Porzingis got up this evening at Madison Square Garden and whooped some Plumlee ass....
Kent Bazemore Laughs As He Sets Up Dwight Howard For An Alley-Oop
Although the Atlanta Hawks were losing in the second quarter today against the New York Knicks, Kent Bazemore still found a chance to be happy.

Boo Mike Pence Whenever Possible [Updates]
Tonight, Vice President-elect Mike Pence decided to take in a performance of Hamilton. But apparently, as soon as he walked in the theater, the only good Hamilton fans in the world started booing like crazy. This is the sound Mike Pence should hear every single time he leaves his house. ...
When Kristaps Porzingis Is Feeling Himself, Look The Fuck Out
If year one of the Kristaps Porzingis Experience was about promise, year two has been about swagger. The 7-foot-3 Latvian showed as a rookie that he belonged in the NBA, that he can fit in, that neither the pace of play nor the opposing talent were too much for him to handle. Early into his sophomor...
New York Islanders Decline To Say If Jack Capuano Lives In Garth Snow's Basement
The disappointing Islanders have lost six of their last seven and currently hold an underwhelming 5-8-3 record. Head coach Jack Capuano is on the hot seat, and depending on who you believe, the heat around his job status might be rising through the vents and warming up team president Garth Snow’s ho...
Eli Manning Read The Bengals' Defense Like A Coloring Book
Eli Manning was slinging (for better or for worse), Odell Beckham was doing his thing, the defense looked like a throwback to the best Tom Coughlin years in the way it pressured Andy Dalton, and even the much-maligned running game picked up a huge first down to run out the clock, something the Giant...
Kristaps Porzingis's Swagger Is Undeniable
No piece of NBA ephemera has entertained me this season as much as Kristaps Porzingis showing off apparent tinges of a New York accent. ...
The NFL Knows America Doesn't Want To Watch The Jets
We already savaged the Rams for their role in the NFL’s least enjoyable game since this Week 1 debacle, but no one deserves to come out of that with dignity intact. The Jets, led by Bryce Petty in his first NFL start, were just as complicit, punting eight times and gaining just 17 first downs. You d...
Carmelo Anthony Says The Referee Who Booted Him Has A Grudge
If you’re feeling a sense of cosmic upheaval, that everything around you is shifting, rest assured that the Knicks are still 3-6 on the season and that Carmelo Anthony is still marinating in quiet resentment. ...
A Crowd Marched Up Manhattan To Yell At A Big Ugly Building<em></em>
The protestors were mostly gone by the time I arrived at Union Square on Wednesday night. They had begun to march towards Trump Tower, stalling traffic as they held signs, phones, and contempt for the next president of the United States....
New York Basketball Is Perfect And Pristine
We’ve been blessed with a few sequences of perfect basketball already this season, and last night the Knicks and Nets served up a hot slice of authentic “Big Apple” hoops. This encapsulates everything you need to know about the state of basketball in this city, whose crown prince is Brandon Jennings...
Here's How (Some) <i>New York Times</i> Staffers Are Voting
Like many major news organizations, the New York Times has a policy that forbids its writers and editors from publicly endorsing any candidate. Ancient journalism folklore states that ideally one shouldn’t have opinions—doing so would anger our one true god, Objectivity—but given that this isn’t pos...
Report: Mo Wilkerson Was Benched For Missing His Own Birthday Party
Yesterday against the Dolphins, Jets coach Todd Bowles benched two of his best players, Mo Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson, for the first quarter. Bowles declined to reveal to the press why he sat two of the team’s only indispensable players during a quarter in which the Dolphins put up two touchdo...
Rudy Gobert Gives Kristaps Porzingis Some Harsh Life Lessons
The New York Knicks’ Sunday afternoon started off pretty well. A 30-20 lead over the Utah Jazz at the end of the first quarter, 14 points from sweet franchise guiding light Kristaps Porzingis, this gorgeous assist from Derrick Rose, all was looking good....
Let's Check In On Joakim Noah And The Knicks
The Knicks traveled to play fellow mediocre-ish Eastern Conference squad Detroit this evening, and Joakim Noah did this. Turns out, a shitty Vine of someone’s TV is the perfect way to show you this “highlight.”...

Hold On, Has Matt Harvey Never Seen <i>The Dark Knight</i>?
Matt Harvey, the New York Mets ace, has been going by the nickname “The Dark Knight” since early 2013—the name stuck after Sports Illustrated put Harvey on the cover of its May 20, 2013 edition along with the copy, “The Dark Knight of Gotham.” In retrospect, this may have a bit of a premature move, ...
Darrelle Revis Is Still Getting Roasted
The Jets won yesterday, beating the Browns, which, okay. That makes two in a row for New York, which has slightly eased the suffering caused by a particularly disastrous four-game losing streak that triggered the brief return of Geno Smith. Still, you wouldn’t exactly call the victory over the Brown...
Report: Yoenis Cespedes To Opt Out Of His Mets Contract
Mets fans got a brief respite from seeing the squad hamstrung by its penny-pinching owners when the team signed Yoenis Cespedes to a three-year, $75 million deal last winter. There was a catch, though, in that the deal came with an opt-out clause after the first season. Now Jon Heyman is reporting t...
