Pitcher Who Liked The Braves More Than The Yankees Sent Back To The Yankees
The Atlanta Braves picked lefty Evan Rutckyj in the Rule 5 draft in December, taking him from the New York Yankees’ organization. The pitcher was happy for a change of scenery. Too bad for Rutckyj: The 24-year-old’s going back to the Yankees....
Someone Please Save Kristaps Porzingis From Kurt Rambis
If you’ve been watching Knicks games lately, you’ve no doubt noticed a depressing development: Rookie Kristaps Porzingis, once the boy king of New York, has been playing very poorly. This downturn in production surely has something to do with the young player hitting a rookie wall, but it also has a...
Ryan Fitzpatrick's Free Agency is Getting Messy
You, as an educated and perceptive sports fan, know leaked reports about ongoing contract negotiations should not serve as predictors of where a player will end up or what that contract will ultimately look like. But they are good barometers of who thinks it’s a good idea to play hardball by running...
Nobody Could Get Into The NYCFC Game At Yankee Stadium Because Of The Yankees' Stupid Ticket Policies
Hey remember how the Yankees changed their ticket policies to no longer accept print-at-home tickets? NYCFC, who also play in Yankee Stadium for some reason, announced Friday that they were planning to stop taking paper tickets too. They have a game today, two days later. In their release, the team ...
Lawsuit Claims New York Giants Went To Hilarious Lengths To Make A Michael Strahan Jersey Appear Game-Worn
This is a weird one. Michael Strahan’s last NFL game was in 2008, when his Giants upset the 18-0 New England Patriots to win Super Bowl XLII. He had a sack and a pair of tackles in that game and left a 15-year NFL career for a very successful second act as a television host....
Old Man Swears At Cloud
Fortuitous timing, this, coming just hours after Bryce Harper said baseball needs to allow its players to show they’re having fun, and just about the entire world agreed with him, and it started to feel like this whole pro-celebration movement has become so obviously dominant that it’s all in opposi...
Sports Figure Endorses Donald Trump
Donald Trump, a screeching piece of mac ‘n cheese pizza, recently picked up an endorsement from former Yankee Paul O’Neill. He now has another former baseball player on his side, in the form of former Red Sox and Yankees star Johnny Damon....
Carmelo Anthony Sounds So Sad After The Knicks' Latest Collapse
The Knicks have had a rather tempestuous last month. They fired Derek Fisher, got into just the dumbest heckling controversy, and had to hold a press conference denying that Kurt Rambis was, in fact, horny online. On top of all that, they’ve lost 16 of 19. Kristaps Porzingis’ continued delightfulnes...
Jenrry Mejia Says He Was Set Up By MLB
So this is pretty weird. Mets pitcher Jenrry Mejia, who recently became the first player in MLB history to receive a lifetime ban for failing three PED tests, has told The New York Times that his third positive test was the result of a conspiracy carried out against him by MLB....
Henrik Lundqvist Flips Shit, Flips Net
Goalie mad? Goalie mad. Goalie smash!...
The Knicks Made Carmelo Anthony Apologize For The Dumbest Thing
Ah yes, we’re finally right back where we belong, in a world where the New York Knicks aren’t a surprising feel-good story, but a bumbling franchise that specializes in pulling bad PR out of thin air. I’m actually surprised it took us this long to get back here....
Small Child Cooks Kristaps Porzingis, Eats Him, Dabs
Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis had to go to some promotional event today and entertain some jamokes with a few half-hearted games of 1-on-1. He probably should have taken this kid a bit more seriously:...
Yoenis Cespedes Plans To Eat His $7,000 Pig
After purchasing a pig for $7,000 on Saturday at a Florida county fair, Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes reportedly sent it to the butcher. Makes sense....
Carmelo Anthony Tells Heckler To Go Bother Knicks Owner Instead
The excitement of having a good, young player has worn off, and Knicksdom has returned to its resting state: terrible and depressing. But still remarkably expensive, especially if you were fool enough to spring for floor seats. Like the dude who got kicked out for heckling Carmelo Anthony with four ...
Aroldis Chapman Suspended 30 Games In First Case Under MLB's Domestic Violence Policy
MLB has suspended Yankees pitcher Aroldis Chapman for 30 games under the league’s new domestic violence policy for a dispute he had with his girlfriend on Oct. 30 in Florida....
Yoenis Cespedes Rides A Horse To Work
Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes has apparently run out of fancy motorized vehicles to drive to spring training, because this morning he rolled up to the Mets’ facility on a horse....
Amar'e Stoudemire Doesn't Think Carmelo Anthony Has Handled This Knicks Thing Very Well
“I was so involved with creating a positive atmosphere around the Knicks,” Amar’e Stoudemire said before Miami’s 98-81 win in his first trip back to Madison Square Garden since being bought out last year. “Now it’s gone the opposite way.”...
Eric Staal Is A New York Ranger Now
Eric Staal is joining his brother Marc in New York, as the Rangers acquired him from the Carolina Hurricanes for two second rounders and a Finnish prospect. New York is tied for second in the Eastern Conference behind the unholy juggernaut that is Washington....
Raccoon Cheats Death At Yankees Spring Training
Raccoons are attracted to shiny objects, so it makes sense that this Tampa-area raccoon would choose to attend Yankees spring training. Maybe this is the same raccoon as the one who snuck in two years ago to watch the same team practice at the same field? Perhaps. I think, at this point, the evidenc...
