National anthem demonstrations became the story at NFL stadiums around the country on Sunday.

Radio Host Don La Greca Snaps Again, This Time Over Stat Nerds
The New York Giants have had a bad start to the season. This is something that everyone, including YES Network radio host Don La Greca, can agree on.

Ben McAdoo Calls Out Eli Manning, But The Giants Have Much Bigger Problems
It was just one play. It was a big play, potentially a crucial one, but we’re probably not sitting here dissecting it as if one delay-of-game penalty was responsible for all the Giants’ ills if coach Ben McAdoo hadn’t (deservedly/unusually) put the blame squarely on Eli Manning....
The Matt Harvey Situation Is So Damn Sad
To look at Matt Harvey’s year is to see everything that could be and has been wrong with the Mets rotation lately: bad luck and bad health, managed rather poorly, resulting in bad pitching when there is any pitching at all. Individually, each of these factors typically gets reduced to a dumb punchli...
New York Giants Try, Fail

Avatar Of Discontent Turns Out To Be Mets Fan
The Yankees have adopted the thumbs-down as a tool of positive reinforcement, ever since an unhappy man in the stands gave the gesture to Todd Frazier’s homer in last Monday’s game against the Rays. As it happens, the fan responsible for the gesture loves the other team in New York....
Giants Heroes Disgrace The Ceremonial First Pitch With Vile Prolate Spheroids
The Yankees today invited four members of the 2007 Super Bowl-winning New York Giants—David Tyree, Shaun O’Hara, Antonio Pearce, and Jeff Feagles—to throw out ceremonial first pitches at today’s home game against the Orioles.

Mets Eliminated From Postseason Contention Not With A Bang, But With A Real Stupid-Ass Play
A spectacularly silly baserunning blunder is not necessarily the most Metsy way to get mathematically eliminated from postseason contention—it’s no “entire pitching staff mysteriously bursts into flames all at once” or anything—but it’s pretty damn close! And it’s how the Mets were eliminated tonigh...

NFL Suspends Josh Brown Six More Games, For Some Reason
