A Grieving Rex Ryan Believes That If The Jets Make The Super Bowl, Darrelle Revis's Knee Could Be Ready
Which stage of grief is denial? Right, that's Stage 1. On Monday, when a really, really sad Rex Ryan announced that Darrelle Revis had indeed torn his ACL, the Jets coach said he wanted to talk to his star cornerback before putting him on season-ending injured reserve....
38-Year-Old Rasheed Wallace Would Only Be The Fourth-Oldest Player On Knicks Roster
According to ESPN's Jared Zwerling, Rasheed Wallace is all but officially announced as a New York Knick. Ideally, he'd play some minutes behind Tyson Chandler and lead the team in technical fouls. Wallace was last seen in the NBA yelling at referees after the 2010 NBA Finals....
Ivan Nova Threw A Pitch Right Through His Catcher's Glove
Ivan Nova's season has been a colossal disappointment. Last year he was a breakout star, 16-4 and the Yankees' No. 2 starter, and things were only looking up. Now he's 12-8 with an ERA over 5.00, won't even be in New York's playoff rotation, and looking like yet another of the Yankees' vaunted crop ...
Pirates Outfielder Travis Snider Just Made "One Of The Best Catches You'll Ever See"
In a meaningless game between Pittsburgh and the Mets on a day during which the attention has focused more on Keith Hernandez's facial hair than actual baseball, Pirates outfielder Travis Snider made a bid for defensive play of the year in robbing Mike Baxter of a towering homer at Citi Field....
Watching Keith Hernandez Get His Mustache Shaved Is Painful For Many Reasons
Mets legend and current SNY announcer Keith Hernandez dispensed with his mustache of 25 years today in a charity stunt outside Citi Field today, emerging as a young- if freakish-looking man unsure in his certainty of having made the right decision....
Joe McKnight Is Really Sad About Having To Play Cornerback
The Jets lost all-universe corner Darrelle Revis to a torn ACL on Sunday, so—being a resourceful and depth-strapped organization—they're converting Joe McKnight, their kick returner and third-down running back, into a cornerback. Joe McKnight is not happy about this:...
Bristolmetrics: Everybody Hates Lane Kiffin
This is a regular feature breaking down, minute-by-minute, the content that appears on ESPN's 11 p.m. edition of SportsCenter throughout the week....
Tonight's Yankees Broadcast Was Temporarily Invaded By A Mysterious "Fucking"
The top of the fifth inning of tonight's Yankees-Twins bout in Minneapolis was extra-spicy for Yankee fans viewing on WWOR (or on MLB Network's simulcast) as a voice seemed to interrupt Jayson Nix's at bat to talk about "play-in games" and someone or something being "fucking hot."...
In A Game Where Someone Had To Win, The Jets Beat The Dolphins, In Two GIFs
New York Jets 23, Miami 20: Ties be damned, this game was going to wind up being lost by someone. Hello, Miami Dolphins. To read a full recap of this one you'd need the patience of Job. Tim Tebow got sacked. Tim Tebow ran a fake punt for a first down. Pass interference penalties out the kazoo. The D...
Ichiro Cleverly Hits The Ball Inside Pitcher's Jersey
We hear plaudits for Ichiro Suzuki a lot. He's consistent, he's one of the best baseball players of the past decade, he curses hilariously in the clubhouse before all-star games. Add a new one—he has such pinpoint control of the ball as it comes off his bat that he can make it essentially unfield-a...
The Mets Would Like To Offer You Two Bucks Off Detergent (If A Statistical Oddity Happens)
Two days ago, the Mets finished a series in a night game that had been rained out the previous Tuesday and rescheduled. Partly because of the rainout and partly because, every fall, fans do with the Mets what the sun does with the earth, there were very few people in attendance to see the Mets get ...
"What's This Fucking Song?" How A Yankees Free Spirit Reluctantly Ushered In Baseball's Entrance-Music Era
Sparky Lyle's arrival in New York was nothing to get excited about. On March 22, 1972, the Boston Red Sox traded the good but nondescript lefty reliever to the Yankees for Danny Cater and a player to be named later. Ho-hum. But when he actually came into the games—that was something else. ...
Giants 36, Panthers 7: The Game In Three GIFs
This was a slow and deceptive win for the Giants, who run their record to 2-1. The defense played solid in the first half and allowed the Giants' offensive live to methodically dominate time of possession against the high-powered offense of Carolina. Even without starters Hakeem Nicks and Ahmad Brad...
New York Red Bulls Fans Struggle With Spelling
New York Red Bulls suffered a painful 2-0 loss at home to Sporting KC last night in a match played with little fire in front of few fans. A few supporters showed up, however, and they brought a massive banner using the most tired expression about Kansas since "Bleeding." (Yes, Sporting KC plays in ...
Santonio Holmes Played Call-Your-Own-Fouls On Sunday With The Replacement Refs
Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes did not do a very good job of getting open against Steelers corner Ike Taylor on Sunday. He had only three catches for 28 yards despite being targeted 11 times. Sometimes Holmes didn't make the catch because he was interfered with. And sometimes he didn't make th...
Even The Mets' PR Staff Is Giving Up
Remember when the Mets were serious contenders in the NL East? Hahahahaha. That never happened. I mean, they were tied for first in early June, but then the earth kept rotating on its axis, and the next 90 or so games actually happened....

When Officials Blew A Call Even After Looking At The Replay, Rex Ryan Was Flabbergasted
Late in yesterday's Steelers-Jets matchup, New York challenged a play in which Steelers running back Isaac Redman was ruled down on a tackle by safety Yeremiah Bell. Rex Ryan challenged the call, believing Bell might have forced a fumble, but several replays showed Redman was actually down in the b...
