Domingo Germán throws perfect game, but he’s still a domestic abuser

Domingo Germán achieved the pinnacle of single-game pitching performances Wednesday night, throwing only the 24th perfect game in MLB history, the first by a Dominican-born player, the fourth by a New York Yankee, and the first since in baseball Felix Hernandez in 2012. There have been plenty of no-...

Mets owner Steve Cohen doesn’t need to talk at all

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen certainly has made a splash since taking over the Queens club. Most of those ripples are due to the checks he signs, with the occasional bombastic quote to an insatiable New York media. The fact that a lot of what he’s had to say is adversarial to what the rest of MLB...

The Yankees best player this month is who?!

Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets have earned the <i>Hard Knocks</i> spotlight

Get ready, New York Jets fans; it looks like you’re about to get much more access to your team in the form of Hard Knocks. With all the attention and hype surrounding Aaron Rodgers’ arrival, the Jets only make sense. Even if there is some hesitation, the Jets are among four finalists who could be ch...

The Yankees need to smash the panic button for doldrum of storylines reasons

We’re entering Brian Cashman territory with Aaron Boone. The Bronx at one point was the most hostile work environment in MLB. The standards were ridiculously high, and someone would’ve lashed out by now considering how long it’s been since the New York Yankees ran the American League. The head of th...

The Beal-Porzingis-Paul deals feel like a D.C. psyops campaign

After blundering through the last decade, The D.C. Universe is rebooting. Not the Snyderverse IP. I’m talking about the grotesque prospects for basketball in the District of Columbia. Hang around there long enough and you’ll catch me moaning about the bleak times facing the Commanders, Nats, and Wiz...

Should the Yankees send Anthony Volpe down to AAA?

The New York Yankees are running out of numbers to issue

The New York Yankees have a long, storied history, with 45 players being inducted into the Hall of Fame. The Bronx Bombers have also retired the numbers of their greats — players and managers, including some that aren’t in Cooperstown. All in all, the Yankees have retired 22 numbers — including from...

How many ex-Packers are going to join Aaron Rodgers in New York?

By the time we get to opening week of the 2023 NFL season, the New York Jets might be known affectionately as Green Bay East. That’s what Aaron Rodgers is attempting to turn this franchise into by luring ex-Packers to the Big Apple forming a heavy layer of familiarity for the former MVP. Former Gree...

The Athletic was supposed to own local sports news. Instead, it's getting owned by the current state of media

The Athletic’s plan to replace sports pages worldwide has taken another blow. It announced on Monday that it will be laying off about four percent of its staff, per The Washington Post’s Ben Strauss. Further proof that nothing in media is being replaced just yet. Instead, it is steadily eroding due ...

Lionel Messi is the only person who can move tickets like Taylor Swift

This article is a veritable dream for those enslaved (or in love) with SEO-driven content. Taylor Swift and Lionel Messi in the same headline? If I could fold in the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Yankees, and Dallas Cowboys, I’d be up for a $10 Starbucks gift card. While I’m not ruling that out — I n...

Investment into Heat Culture already has better ROI than cryptocurrency

Miami is home to numerous crash diets, fads, and fast fashions that disappear in two months. Even the weather is just as volatile. Noon Monsoons and sunny skies throughout the rest of the afternoon are a symptom of their haywire climate. Heat Culture and crypto are the most consistent staples though...

Hazardous air quality won't stop baseball in New York — just postpone it [Update]

Walking outside in New York City is sketchy even with pristine air quality. There are homeless people everywhere, rats, and 99-cent slices of pizza littered on the streets. Plus, it’s inevitable you run into a tourist that doesn’t understand how much of the sidewalk they take up. I love living here ...

The Mets are gonna Mets, even if Jacob deGrom is in Texas

While there will be plenty claiming they always knew the Texas Rangers took too big of a risk in signing Jacob deGrom this past winter, the allure of deGrom was simply too much. And it should be. Especially if you don’t really care about the money, which more MLB owners shouldn’t. The Rangers have p...

Dallas Mavericks interested in guy who wants to eliminate halftime

ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy has been on fire lately, making waves everywhere. The former New York Knicks head coach made news last week for his stance on removing free throws from NBA games along with getting rid of halftime altogether. Well, Van Gundy is back in the headlines this week, but this ti...

WNBA, NSWL TV rights are more valuable than ever as leagues seek new deals

Hours before the WNBA’s New York Liberty were set to take the court against the Connecticut Sky at 2 p.m. on Sunday, the crowd near the players’ entrance was already entrenched. Parents and their kids, couples, and groups of friends, many decked out in shirts and shoes with that distinctive Statue s...

Thanks for the memories, Bartolo Colon

Bartolo Colon hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2018 but is finally retiring — at age 50. His former club, the New York Mets, will hold an official retirement ceremony for “Big Sexy” on Aug. 26 before a game against another one of Colon’s ex-teams, the Los Angeles Angels. ...

Heat can't get past Nuggets on guts alone

For once a Miami Heat 2023 playoff game played out the way that was expected. The Denver Nuggets are bigger, more talented, and won Game 1 of the NBA Finals by a double-digit margin — 104-93....

Hey New York, slow your roll on the Jets to the Super Bowl

So, this is where we’re at now. Hot takes for the sake of hot takes. Any time you pick the New York Jets to do anything other than perform like the Jets, that’s a hot take. All of a sudden, because they’ve acquired an over-the-hill, entitled, cave-dwelling quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, we’re suppose...

Barfstool rips off Sidetalk and spreads extra mayonnaise on it

I have no stake in the Boston vs New York rivalry. I think both lobster and chopped cheese sandwiches are delicious. I listen to both the Notorious B.I.G. and New Edition. I also find both places to be unnecessarily loud and obnoxious but I get it, neither one has enough space. All of that being sai...
