This Photo Has Four Great Reaction Images
What is it about Caps-Rangers that brings out the best in the rinkside fans? While none of these quite match the unmitigated ecstasy of this kid, I'm still having a hard time picking my favorite of the four....
Joe Girardi Batted His Pitcher Eighth And Had Vernon Wells Play Third
I don't know how much of this was Girardi and how much was The Binder, but somehow, for some reason, Joe Girardi managed a May game against the Rockies like it was an 18-inning World Series Game 7. And it...worked?...
Alexander Ovechkin Would Prefer Not To Play Defense
This is Derek Stepan's goal from the third period of last night's Capitals-Rangers game, which put the Rangers up 4-2. It's an impressive play, but not nearly as impressive as Alexander Ovechkin's brief cameo....
This Bicycle Kick From Thierry Henry Was A Game-Winner
This goal came off a corner kick in the 88th minute to put the New York Red Bulls up 2-0 on the Montreal Impact....
Billy Bush Was Kicked Out Of The Rangers Locker Room Tonight
Billy Bush is a thing with a face that is on television. A Current Affair, or something like that. Anyway, he was apparently at the Rangers game this evening—a game the Rangers won 4-3, tying the series at two games apiece—and pissed off a bunch of the local scribes when he brought the circus to the...
Mike Woodson To J.R. Smith: "J.R., Goddammit!"
Everything about this clip is wonderful, and if J.R. Smith somehow makes it to the Hall of Fame one day, it should submitted to the hall in lieu of a plaque....
Kris Letang Cross-Checked A Linesman. That's A Suspension...Right?
Between Eric Gryba getting two games for a borderline hit that resulted in injury, and nobody from this Sens-Habs mess being punished, NHL playoff discipline seems even more "spin the wheel" than usual. But shoving an official would seem pretty clear-cut, no?...
White Sox Pitcher Hector Santiago Forgets His Turn To Bat
Hector Santiago pitched so well last night that the Mets' Matt Harvey didn't even get the win even though he took a perfect game into the seventh inning. But when he was due to hit with two outs in the sixth, Santiago was nowhere to be found. Stupid interleague play....
F is for Fugazi
Dig this one: Nancy Jo Sales' 1998 profile of Vince McMahon for New York magazine....
I'm Tryin' to Get Money Like Felipe Lopez
So rapped the Beatnuts back in 1994. That's when Lopez was a big deal in New York. And that's around the time Susan Orlean wrote about Lopez for the New Yorker (actually, her profile appeared in the spring of '93):...
Here's A Dog Dressed As A Hot Dog, Eating A Hot Dog
Yesterday was the annual "Bark in the Park" day in Atlanta, the only time—other than when the Reds are in town—when ticketholders must show proof they've been vaccinated against Parvo and Bordetella....
Penguins Fan Gets Kicked Out Of Nassau Coliseum For Being Shithoused
"Sandstorm" plays in the background as a security guard escorts this super drunk Pittsburgh Penguins fan out of his seat. Islanders fans in his section console him by chanting "ASSHOLE" as he gets booted. Jarome Iginla's number one fan has his playoff hockey experience cut short on account of being ...
Mike Green's OT Goal Lifts Capitals Over Rangers In NHL Playoffs
Washington Capitals defenseman Mike Green scored a power play goal against the New York Rangers with 12 minutes left in overtime to win the game and put the Caps up 2-0 in the NHL's Stanley Cup conference quarterfinals. ...
The Knicks Win A Playoff Series For The First Time Since 2000
It almost didn't happen (again), but the Knicks were able to hold off an increasingly uncomfortable fourth-quarter comeback from Boston to advance past the first round of playoffs for the first time in more than a decade....
The Geno Smith Smear Campaign Is Turning Into Junior-High Gossip
It's been nearly a week since the Jets selected Geno Smith in the second round of the draft. I bet it's been a sleepy seven days for him, as it would be for any other quarterback who joined the Jets. Let's check today's press clippings:...
Sad Tebow In A Parking Lot Is The New Tebowing
We're not sure when this photo was taken, since the Denver Post just posted it to Facebook. You know what to do, Internet. ...
Mark Sanchez Is Now Dressing Like A Soccer Player
What should you do when your employers basically make it apparent that you are unqualified to hold the job you currently have? (The Jets have unquestionably done this, by drafting Geno Smith, and signing David Garrard, and starting Greg McElroy, and generally by treating Sanchez like a lingering far...
How Frank Isola Became The Most Hated Man At Madison Square Garden
Frank Isola started on the Knicks beat for the New York Daily News in the fall of 1996, when he was 29 years old. Now, at 46, he has been covering the team longer than anyone else....
