David Wright Was Being Playful When He Said "Fuck You" To Freddie Freeman
Mets third baseman and lunch policeman David Wright was fired up after tying the game with an RBI single in the seventh inning of Wednesday night’s game. This was right after Freddie Freeman gave the Braves a 3-2 lead in the top half of the inning with his pinch-hit two-RBI double. When Wright reach...
Yogi Berra Is Dead At 90
The Yankees announced early Wednesday that beloved catcher Yogi Berra is dead at 90....
The Jets Defense Is Ferocious
One third-quarter sequence perfectly exemplified the Jets’ 20-7 victory over the Colts Monday night: their defense is damn good, but they’re getting a bit of luck too. ...
Jason Pierre-Paul Vs. The Giants Will Only Get Uglier From Here
Okay, we’ve seen the stump. Now back to the part where Jason Pierre-Paul is still a top-tier free agent with a $14.8 million contract tender to sign, and he and the Giants are going to mats about when he’ll be back....
Photos: Jason Pierre-Paul's Right Hand
The New York Daily News published some pretty clear photos of Jason Pierre-Paul’s right hand, which he badly damaged in a fireworks accident in July. To put it nicely, his hand resembles the head of Yoda’s cane. The Giants defensive end is missing a lot of his thumb and index finger, and his middle ...
Here's Jason Pierre-Paul's Hand, Sort Of
Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul has, as of the latest report, maybe three-and-a-half fingers on his right hand. Yesterday he posted an Instagram video of him working out, and gave the briefest glimpse of what that hand looks like....
Islanders Unveil Third Jersey
This morning, less than a week before the start of the preseason (hockey’s almost back!), the Islanders finally unveiled the black uniforms everyone assumed they’d get upon moving to Brooklyn. It’s fine, right? Better than ol’ Fish Sticks. ...
OK, Just How Many Damn Fingers Does JPP Have Left?
We knew, from curiously leaked hospital records, that Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul lost his right index finger after a July 4 fireworks accident. Pierre-Paul maintained that, other than the whole missing finger, he was fine; the Giants disagreed once they finally got to see it. Now comes a report tha...
The Yankees' "Biggest Hit Of The Season" Came From An Unlikely Rookie
After losing three of four to Toronto this weekend, the Yankees were nearly as close to being out of the playoffs as they were from the top of the AL East. Through seven innings against Erasmo Ramirez and the Rays last night, they didn’t manage a hit. They were down 1-0 with two outs in the ninth an...
The Giants' Collapse Was Even Dumber Than It Looked (And It Already Looked Pretty Dumb)
It was one thing when it appeared that the Giants’ merely brainfarted 40 extra seconds to the Cowboys for a game-winning drive that needed 33 of them. Now as players discuss the calls in the huddle and from the sideline, it’s so, so much worse: the Giants a) did not realize how many timeouts the Cow...
Dez Bryant Got Hurt, Stayed Hyped
One of the worst things about Week 1 is the inevitable rash of injuries that knocks a half-dozen or so stars out for a good portion of the season. Dez Bryant’s injury wasn’t the most serious of the day, but he’ll need surgery on his broken foot and will miss the next four to six weeks. Don’t worry a...
The Giants' Loss Was Inexplicable
This wasn’t one of those bad, game-killing decisions that requires hindsight to identify as a mistake. It’s no less baffling the morning after as it was the moment Eli Manning floated the ball out of the end zone to stop the clock and gave the Cowboys a full minute-and-a-half to complete their comeb...
Goddammit, Fireman Ed Is Back
Because everything involving the Jets should be measured in its relation to the buttfumble, today marks the first time since halftime of the Thanksgiving night game that Fireman Ed crammed his head-butt into a modern structural helmet to lead Jets fans in remedial reading drills. Fuck him. ...
Report: Jason Pierre-Paul Is Missing More Fingers, Could Miss Season
According to a report from ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the New York Giants got a chance to examine Jason Pierre-Paul’s fireworks-torn hand for themselves and are internally worried that the injury is worse than initially thought and could keep him out for the season. This is because, uh, well, the team did...
Richard Gere's Homelessness Drama <i>Time Out Of Mind </i>Will Hit You Hard
1. New York City is obviously the central setting of thousands of movies, and, being New York City, it’s adept at serving as whatever backdrop you want it to serve.
