Bill Belichick Had A Plan, It Just Backfired Completely
By now we know that the Patriots’ decision to kick off to start overtime wasn’t a mistake—or at least, not the one it appeared to be at the time. New England never touched the ball in their 26-20 OT loss to the Jets, and while the outcome wasn’t by design, the strategy was. Whether or not it was a w...
Seven Or So On One Or So

Kristaps Porzingis Got The Hell Out Of LeBron's Way
Kristaps Porzingis still has a lot to learn in this league, but he’s got one of the more important aspects of self-preservation down pat: when LeBron James has a head of steam, make sure you’re not in his path....
Odell Beckham's Suspension Upheld
After his appeal hearing this afternoon, Giants WR Odell Beckham’s one-game suspension for basically assaulting Josh Norman was upheld. He’ll miss Sunday night’s game against the Vikings....
It's Time For The Mets' Garbage Owners To Go
The New York Mets went to the World Series last season and currently boast a young pitching staff that is not only one of the most talented in the game, but also one of the cheapest. And yet for the Mets, perhaps the game’s preeminent struggle-franchise, this is a big problem....
Dean Blandino Told Official During Giants-Panthers: "You Can Eject Players"

New Video Shows Confrontation Between Odell Beckham Jr. And Bat-Carrying Panthers Player
It’s hard to know what to make of Batghazi—the claims, which were released to various reporters all at the same time, hinting they came from a Giants source, that Panthers players gestured toward Odell Beckham Jr. with baseball bats before the game in which Beckham completely lost his composure. Her...
The Yankees Want To Know If Their Fans Are Down With Fire Pits
With a third straight disappointing season in the books, the Yankees are hoping to improve—on the field of course, but also off the field. To that end they’ve “engaged a third party” to conduct a fan survey. This is pretty standard stuff, but because of the questions asked, and because it’s the Yank...
Tom Coughlin Explains Why He Kept Odell Beckham Jr. In The Game
Odell Beckham Jr. should have been ejected after his helmet-to-helmet hit Josh Norman. He wasn’t, for reasons known only to the officiating crew. But he was actively hurting the Giants with penalties, and wasn’t getting anything done on the field (just one reception for three yards at the time), and...
NFL Suspends Odell Beckham Jr. One Game
Odell Beckham Jr. was suspended one game without pay for a whole bunch of personal fouls against Carolina on Sunday.

Reports: Bat-Wielding Panthers Menaced Odell Beckham Jr. During Pregame
Are you ready for the war of fists and words between Odell Beckham Jr. and the Panthers’ secondary to reach (sink to?) a new level of absurdity? Well then you are in luck, because now baseball bats are involved....
Odell Beckham Jr. Should Have Been Ejected
Despite the headline, this isn’t a hot take. I’m not trying to convince you of anything. It’s a statement of fact, really: given Beckham’s increasingly violent tantrums, culminating in a legitimately dangerous after-the-whistle hit on Josh Norman, he had absolutely no business being in that football...

OBJ And The Panthers Cornerbacks Are Staging A Boxing Match In The Middle Of A Football Game
Odell Beckham Jr.’s matchup today with Josh Norman, perhaps the best corner in the game this year, is one of the coolest one-on-one matchups we’ve seen all year.

Derrick Williams Blames $750K Jewelry Heist On Two Women He Took Home From A Club
After the Knicks beat the Sixers on Friday, Derrick Williams celebrated by heading to the Up & Down Club (which has only two stars on Yelp, but a lot of commenters saying they saw celebrities). According to the New York Post, after the party it’s the after party (at Williams’ house) and that’s where...
