Jason Pierre-Paul Will Play Tomorrow For The First Time Since Blowing Up His Hand
Four months ago, on July 4, Jason Pierre-Paul accidentally lost the index finger and parts of two others on his right hand in a fireworks accident. Thus began a saga that involved Adam Schefter releasing JPP’s medical records, the Giants trying to slap the franchise tag on JPP, and finally, a new co...
Nah, That's Not Right
Asheville, N.C. ABC station WLOS tried a bit of pre-game prognostication on its early morning show today. There are... some problems here. (Given all three picked Pitt to win, is it possible they actually believed Notre Dame is playing the Steelers?) Anyway, misspellings and such aside even big-boy ...
Latvian Dunks Basketball
Kristaps Porzingis, a Baltic giraffe who plays for the Knicks, is already cool and fun, which is a welcome surprise after a summer where he was tabbed as quite the project. Turns out being the size of telecommunications infrastructure, reasonably agile, and in possession of a shooting stroke are all...
One Mystery And Four Other Good Stories From The New York City Marathon
Gosh, it was fun to see a woman with some healthiness about her and FIEN—who is FIEN?—printed on her bib, out front just killing it in Sunday’s New York City Marathon. And wasn’t it a marvel to watch that cheetah Wilson Kipsang loping along at 5:05 or so per mile, easy as cracking a cold one? ...
Let's All Belt Out Sia's New Ballad "Bird Set Free" Together
Last night on Facebook, Sia offered us the beautiful ballad “Bird Set Free,” a new single off her upcoming album, This Is Acting. How soon until we can get this one on the books of our local karaoke establishments? ...
Kristaps Porzingis Is Already Doing Cool Things
If you’re into symbolism, Kristaps Porzingis’s night should resonate with every Knicks fan. You’re rolling along, looking good, feeling good about the future, you do something outright spectacular—and then Carmelo Anthony falls on your head....
Curt Schilling Is Just Going To Pretend He Didn't Say That Thing He Said
Sporadic baseball analyst Curt Schilling tuned in to Game 5 of the World Series last night, and he was really in favor of keeping Mets starter Matt Harvey in for the whole game, until he wasn’t. The progression of tweets is a fun ride....
The Giants Lost In A Way No Team Has In Over 50 Years
The Saints and Giants disrespected the entire concept of defense in football Sunday as they combined for 101 total points in a 52-49 New Orleans win. Drew Brees threw seven passing touchdowns; Eli Manning threw six. Since only one team could win, the Giants ended up scoring the second-most points in...
Frank Thomas: The Mets Did Everything Right Except For All The Things They Did Horribly Wrong
Here’s Fox analyst Frank Thomas, summing up the Mets’ World Series and also your recent job performance:...
The Royals Won By Betting On The Mets To Botch The Job
I felt a little insane listening to the Fox booth lavish praise on the Royals for Eric Hosmer’s dash home to score the tying run on Lucas Duda’s bad throw. “Brilliant baserunning?” Did they see that throw? If Duda doesn’t peg a beer vendor, Hosmer is out and the game is over. ...
Here Is Your Gallery Of Sad Mets Fans
The Mets lost the World Series in the most on-brand, Mets-y way possible. That’s very bad news for Mets fans, but it’s good news for those of us who have grown to appreciate the great photographic genre that is Sad Mets Fans....
Terry Collins Made The Right Call On Matt Harvey And Still Screwed Up
It was a Mets season that began with, and briefly threatened to founder upon, questions of how many innings Matt Harvey would be allowed to throw, and for how many innings he’d be able to be effective. In the end, Harvey threw 216 innings—the most ever for a pitcher coming off of Tommy John surgery—...
Royals Toy With Mets Like A Cat With A Mouse, Kill Them, Win Series
With the Mets up 2-0 in the bottom of the eighth, manager Terry Collins and ace Matt Harvey argued about whether Harvey would pitch the ninth. He’d pitched a four-hit shutout up to that point, on 102 pitches, a high but not unreasonable number. Of course, the health of Harvey, who underwent Tommy Jo...
Daniel Murphy Blew It, But He Wasn't The Only One
The Mets had a great chance to tie the World Series up last night, taking a 3-2 lead into the eighth inning, only five outs away from the win. With runners on first and second, Eric Hosmer hit a manageable grounder to Daniel Murphy at second base. Instead of making the double play to end the inning ...
Report: NFL Investigated Patriots Sideline Staff After Jets Complaint
During last Sunday’s 30-23 win over the New York Jets, the NFL interrogated three Kraft Sports employees on the Patriots sideline after the Jets complained about radio communication systems. According to a report from the Boston Herald, NFL officials looked into the three employees and determined th...
Noah Syndergaard Challenged The Royals To Fight Him And Kept The Mets Alive
Alcides Escobar has a habit of swinging on the first pitch. It helped him lay down maybe the best ALCS for a leadoff hitter ever, and he even led off the World Series with a first-pitch, inside-the-park home run on Tuesday. Last night in Game 3, the first pitch went quite different, as Noah Synderga...
Take Your First Good Look At Jason Pierre-Paul's Mangled Hand
Jason Pierre-Paul has finally returned to the New York Giants, a few months after blowing apart his right hand in a fireworks mishap. Now that he’s under contract, JPP doesn’t have to be shy about his injury, so he let an AP photographer snap some photos when he met with the media today. The guy’s h...
Young Gronk Smashes Piñata
At five years old, alcohol enthusiast Rob Gronkowski was quite tall for his age, and good at making contact with a piñata. He was likely more of an apple juice enthusiast back then....
Boomer Esiason Says Jets Swept Locker Room For Bugs Before Pats Game, Is Probably Full Of Shit
Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason stirred some shit on his daily radio show this morning when he claimed that the Jets asked the NFL to sweep the visiting locker room for bugs before their Oct. 25 away game against the Patriots. That was quite a bomb for Esiason to drop, but it was probably bull...
Patriots Logo Cloud? Patriots Logo Cloud.
Someone spotted this cloud that kinda looks like the Patriots logo....
