Enes Kanter, After Getting Punked: "Nobody Out There Gonna Punk Us"
There was nothing wrong with the Knicks getting all riled up over LeBron James’s assertion that the team would have been better off drafting Dennis Smith Jr. over Frank Ntilikina. It was even heartening to see young Frank get up in the King’s personal space last night, and to see Enes Kanter coming ...
Kyle Korver's Fourth Quarter Got The Cavaliers There
Tonight’s first half between the Knicks and Cavaliers inspired a bit of feeling that the Knicks might really be here: that their young talent could gel well enough to take down a top-tier talent like Cleveland, that Frank Ntilikina could be bold enough to shove LeBron around a little, that the team ...
Come, Bask In The Glow Of A Beautiful Moment
LeBron James and Enes Kanter briefly got into it in the closing seconds of tonight’s first quarter—a scuffle that was quickly broken up and didn’t result in much, but it did give us these beautiful photos of the incident captured by Elsa of Getty Images. ...
What The Hell Are You Doing, Peter Vecsey
General awareness of personal and social context is typically very important for any older white man who would like to go around quoting Notorious B.I.G. lyrics. Like, the below tweet was not a great context for former New York Post NBA columnist Peter Vecsey to try out this one:...
Giants Fan Heckles Giants Players, Tumbles Over Railing, Gets Tased By Security
Sad to say, but this man had the most successful Sunday of anyone wearing a Giants jersey....
LeBron James Won't Ruin This For Me, Dammit
After the Cavs escaped the clutches of the league-worst Mavs—it was a two-point game with 36.8 seconds to go—LeBron James decided to offer a compliment so narrow in scope that it could reasonably be interpreted as an insult:...
Niners Interrupt Their Rebuild To Smack Down Ben McAdoo And The Giants<em></em>
The San Francisco 49ers earned their first win of the season today, in Week 10, by beating the Giants 31-21. And yes, it still counts as a win even if it’s against Ben McAdoo’s band of injured skill players and demotivated defensemen. Led by a quarterback they don’t even plan to start in two weeks, ...
Knicks Waive Half-Decent Player To Make Room For Moldering Skeleton
I suppose we should file this under Doing What You’ve Gotta Do:...
Kristaps Porzingis Sits Out, Says He May Need Elbow Procedure In The Offseason
Kristaps Porzingis, the centerpiece of the New York Knicks’ future, sat out his team’s game tonight—the second night of a back-to-back—as he nursed both a sprained left ankle and right elbow bursitis....
Report: Giants Players Have Given Up On Ben McAdoo
ESPN’s Josina Anderson is reporting some damning, if unsurprising, quotes coming from a couple of unnamed players in the 1-7 New York Giants locker room. They claim that the Giants are leaderless with coach Ben McAdoo at the helm, that he can’t communicate with players and isn’t making the right dec...
Craig Carton Pleads Not Guilty, Gets Support From Chris Christie
Since his arrest for securities and wire fraud in September, former WFAN radio host Craig Carton has resigned from his post at the Boomer & Carton Show and stayed away from any media as he deals with his legal issues. On Tuesday, USA Today published an interview with Carton in which he said he’s inn...
Report: The Giants Are Looking For Their Next Franchise Quarterback
The Giants’ front office is apparently as fed up with Eli Manning as anyone who has watched a Giants game this year has been, and is, according to ESPN, working to find a new quarterback in this year’s draft....
Cody Zeller, You Have To Retire Now, Those Are The Rules
Watching Kristaps Porzingis do anything is a delight. We could talk about his outrageous shooting, where he’s added volume but only increased in efficiency. We could talk about how players only shoot 35 percent at the rim when he’s lurking there. Or we could just watch this:...
The Yankees Seem To Be Looking For A Manager Who Doesn't Exist
Nearly two weeks after the Yankees decided to let manager Joe Girardi walk, nothing has emerged to make their decision seem any less confusing than it did at the time. Some fresh commentary on the situation from general manager Brian Cashman did nothing to clear it up....
Let's Remember This Deion Sanders Inside-The-Park Homer
Tony Romo dropped a minor burn on Deion Sanders during the CBS broadcast yesterday, noting that Kansas City’s Marcus Peters “makes Deion Sanders looks good at tackling.” Sanders responded on TV with a Stephen-A.-inspired monologue....
Holy Crap, You Can Finally See The Shape Of The Knicks' Future
Kristaps Porzingis just began his third season, and somehow it feels like we’ve waited a decade for him to have a competent point guard. This is a more Knicks-wide crisis, decades in the making, involving a procession of washed, deluded, or otherwise bleak names: Stephon Marbury, (old) Baron Davis,...
It's Time For The Giants To Move On From Eli Manning
The Giants are 1-7 and after the season they’re going to clean house. Being bad is bad enough, but being bad in a season in which they were trendy Super Bowl contenders is going to cost coach Ben McAdoo his job, and maybe GM Jerry Reese his, and possibly even spell the end of Eli Manning’s time in N...
How Ben McAdoo Rallied The Giants At Halftime: “Um”
The Giants got rolled by the Rams 51-17. At halftime, the score was just 27-10. Not close, either, but in the realm of possibility that the Giants could catch up. ...
The Giants Gave Up A Touchdown On Third And 33
It doesn’t get any easier for a defense than third and 33. Play as conservative as possible, keep everyone in front of you, and there’s no way the offense should be able to gain all they need....
Enjoy Kristaps Porzingis Chasing Josh Jackson Around Like An Angry Storm Cloud
The Knicks beat the Suns last night behind another incredible offensive performance from young Kristaps Porzingis. The Suns have looked frisky since the firing of Earl Watson—that doesn’t make this some great win, but it does help make the case that the Knicks are not, in fact, complete trash. No. W...
