The Giants Are Inching Closer And Closer To The Daniel Jones Era
For the second straight week, Eli Manning was outplayed by the quarterback opposite him, and this time, it felt a whole lot worse. While there’s not much shame in losing in Dallas to Dak Prescott when he throws for over 400 yards and puts up a perfect 158.3 QB rating, Week 2 brought fewer chances fo...
Gregg Williams Gradually Turns Into Giant Pile Of Salt When Asked About Odell Beckham Jr.

Odell Beckham Jr. Says Gregg Williams Told His Players To Hurt Beckham In A Preseason Game

Jets Quarterback Sam Darnold Could Be Out Several Weeks With Mono
Because nothing can ever go right for the Jets, Sam Darnold has mono. Darnold, the man Jets fans are relying on to become a franchise-defining quarterback, has apparently been very busy smooching lately, and as a result has contracted the disease you probably haven’t thought about since that one tim...
No, DeMarcus Lawrence Will <i>Not</i> Apologize For Gently Roasting Wee Giants Fan
Of course, there’s the very sweet and good genre of fan-athlete interaction: kids meeting their heroes and melting down for lack of ability to regulate emotions. But there’s also the equally enjoyable, if perversely so, category of athletes dunking mercilessly on children....
Noah Syndergaard Is Mad About Catchers And The Mets Don't Care
Like many aces who have come before him, Noah Syndergaard prefers throwing to some catchers more than others. In Syndergaard’s case, he actually has two catchers that he likes more than Mets starter Wilson Ramos. When Syndergaard pitches to back-ups Tomas Nido and Rene Rivera, which he has done in 1...
Behold The Coming Of Kaapo Kakko
Breathe, we’ve almost made it. We’re two days from NHL players taking the ice at training camp; less than a week from the first preseason games; less than a month from the start of the regular season; and just about nine months from Kaapo Kakko winning the Calder Trophy....
Jets Start Their Gagging Early In The Season, Blow 16-0 Second-Half Lead To Bills
Adam Gase had a chance to set the tone for the Jets’ season. He was in position to win the first game with an impressive defensive performance, make everyone stop with the eyeball jokes, and show that he was different than former head coach Todd Bowles. Instead, Week 1 looked like more of the same....
Fan At Phillies-Mets Battles Bug Behind Home Plate
Top of the seventh. Bases loaded. Two outs. Full count. Bryce Harper at the plate. And one fan on TV was battling a bug of some sort....
Pete Alonso Hopes For Even More Shirtless Mets Before The Year Is Out
The Mets have to play near-flawless baseball in the final month of the season if they’re going to sneak into that Wild Card game, and on Friday against the Phillies, even if the game threatened to go off the rails in the ninth inning, it all ended in tasty, shrimpy fashion. With the Wild Card-leadin...
David Brooks Explores The Reaches Of Pure Mind
Our old pal Alex Pareene has it right, of course: The New York Times, despite its pose as the one universal press outlet of humankind, ultimately is for a very narrowly defined class of East Coast rich people....
Mets Ninth-Inning Bullpen Implosion Special Even By Mets Standards
My God, the Mets. Phew. The hell they entered Tuesday night is a special, Mets-only hell. There are excruciating losses, and then there’s watching in horror as a sure-fire victory leaps out of the bag and lays waste to the dwindling hopes of your fading season. ...
New York Jets Cut A Guy Four Months After Drafting Him In The Third Round
You’d be hard pressed to find a better distillation of the bone-deep dysfunction, ineptitude, and LOLJetsiness of the New York Jets than this: On Saturday, the team cut promising pass rusher Jachai Polite just four months after drafting him in the third round....
I Hereby Declare The Lions The Most Miserable NFL Franchise
Which franchise is the NFL’s poop standard (obviously, the inverse of the gold standard)? Part of what’s fascinating about football’s ongoing analytics revolution is the unknown—that there are possibilities we haven’t even considered for what we may someday be able to do with the application of high...
Report: The Dodgers Hate The Players' Weekend Jerseys Just As Much As You Do
In an attempt at adding a “fun” new twist to Players’ Weekend, MLB revealed earlier this year that every team playing in a game over these couple days would wear a nearly monochromatic uniform, with options of white and black. Beyond the simple problem that the color scheme makes it difficult to see...
Son Of Former NFL Defensive Lineman Charged With Killing Parents In Minnesota Home
Minnesota authorities filed a warrant on Friday for the arrest of 22-year-old Dylan Bennett on charges of second-degree murder, according to police documents, just two days after his parents—former NFL defensive lineman Barry Bennett and his wife, Carol—were found fatally shot in their home earlier...
Ball Boy Encapsulates Mets Fandom A Little Too Neatly
The Mets, not too long ago baseball’s hottest team, gave back a little of their late-summer mojo in a recent series loss to the Braves, and find themselves still tantalizingly outside of the second NL Wild Card spot. They’re still whole worlds better than they were in the first half, and as a result...

At this point you are not exactly going out on a limb when you say it was stupid for the New York Giants to draft Daniel Jones. Everybody is already saying this, and will likely continue to say it up until the point Jones throws a bunch of touchdowns and leads the Giants to the playoffs. With that i...
Strike Brett Gardner Down, And He Will Only Become More Powerful
When he gets upset about poor umpiring, Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner has been doing ... whatever it is he’s doing in that GIF above.
