Root For The Mets In The Playoffs

The 2015 National League champions coasted on a sea of subpar second-place teams to home field advantage in the bullshit crapshoot that is the one-game wild card playoff (can’t wait!). More than half of their Opening Day bevy of shampoo-commercial starters have been sidelined with injury but between...

Jeff Van Gundy Advocates Zero-Tolerance Policy For Domestic Violence Offenders

Odell Beckham Lost His Cool Again

Odell Beckham Jr. was barely there last night. The excellent Vikings defense held him to a career-low three catches for 23 yards, all on a single second-quarter drive that didn’t cross midfield. Minnesota merely perfected what’s emerged as a solid strategy to keep Beckham in check—he hasn’t scored a...

Larry Donnell Knocked Out Of Game With Concussion After Huge Hit

Early in the second quarter of tonight’s game against the Vikings, Giants tight end Larry Donnell was trying to pull around and block for Orleans Darkwa, when linebacker Anthony Barr came through the gap like a rocket and smashed into him, knocking him four yards back and straight into Darkwa. Darkw...

The Jets Have Bigger Problems Than Ryan Fitzpatrick

This is not what the Jets envisioned when they finally ended their very long and very weak standoff with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Pacifist Joakim Noah Declines To Attend Knicks Event At West Point

The Knicks always start their training camp with a weeklong session at the U.S. Military Academy, and each year they close with a team dinner with cadets, including a speech by a current or former officer. This year, new Knicks center was the only player not to attend the dinner, and he had his reas...

John Farrell To Sassy Fan: "Why Don't You Shut Your Ass Up?"

Last night’s game between the Red Sox and Yankees, the final game the two will play against each other this season, was fairly uneventful. David Ortiz got some cheers from the New York crowd, C.C. Sabathia pitched well, and John Farrell kept most of his stars off the field....

AL East Champion Red Sox Graciously Allow Yankees To Have Cute Little Celebration Of Their Own

There were two parties at Yankee Stadium last night.

Mets Broadcasters Break Down On Air While Remembering José Fernández

The Marlins are playing their first game since José Fernández died in a boating crash over the weekend, and it’s been an incredibly emotional affair.

Ryan Fitzpatrick And The Jets Were "Shitty All Around"

After Eli Manning threw the Giants’ game away, it wasn’t going to be easy for the Jets to wrest away the New York tabloids’ back pages. Well, not only does Ryan Fitzpatrick appear on both this morning, but his achievement was so singular, they were forced to go with the exact same headline: “Pick Si...

The Mets' Pitching Staff Is Dying

Noah Syndergaard was scheduled to start for the Mets tonight, until suddenly he wasn’t, due to strep throat.
