John Sterling Is Very Happy That His Goofy Call Blighted Giancarlo Stanton's Dinger
John Sterling’s call for Giancarlo Stanton’s first dinger as a Yankee was goofy and dumb.

The Jets Paid An Awful Lot To Draft A Quarterback, But They Didn't Really Have A Choice
That the Colts would trade out of the No. 3 spot in the NFL draft has a fairly straightforward explanation: Indianapolis is pretty confident Andrew Luck’s shoulder will be fine (at some point), and the return the Colts got from the Jets—the No. 6 pick and two second-round selections this year, plus ...

Sebastian Aho Gets A Penalty For Hooking Sebastian Aho
Sebastian Aho plays for the New York Islanders. Sebastian Aho plays for the Carolina Hurricanes. Yes, there are two players named Sebastian Aho in the NHL, in what appears to be hockey’s useless but mildly interesting equivalent of the NFL’s “Antonio Gates played basketball in college.”...

Connor McDavid Is Having One Hell Of A Wasted Season
How are things going for the Islanders these days? I was at an ostensible Islanders bar last night, with about 15 TVs in the place, and only one screen—one of the smaller ones—had the Islanders-Oilers game on. And not with sound....
