Latest blog entries from New York teams across every league
After a disappointing Week 8 loss in Houston, the San Francisco 49ers bounced back and closed the quick two-game road trip with an impressive 34-24 win over the New York Giants. The 34 points were the 49ers’ highest output of the season so far, meaning all three stars will come from that side of the […]
The New York Islanders haven't taken themselves out of the playoff race early, but it is also very early in the season. The team is 6-5-1 and hasn't looked too bad. This isn't a year many expected the Islanders to do much, but those days are on their way with Matthew Schaefer leading the charge. For now, decisions are going to have to be made about the roster this season. Some of the veterans won't be around to see the success that is to come for the Islanders, especially a couple who are in t...
The Cleveland Browns return from their bye week with an interesting schedule heading into Week 10 versus the New York Jets. The NFL trade deadline hits on Tuesday at 4 PM Eastern, but because they are coming off their bye, the Browns return to the practice field Monday late morning. The Browns roster could look […]
After a rough first quarter derailed them in their first loss against the Boston Celtics, the Sixers were looking to wash that taste out of their mouth. “We just didn’t want to have another slow start like last game,” said Kelly Oubre Jr. after the Sixers routed the Brooklyn Nets 129-105 to improve to 5-1 […]
Another one on the board. The Brooklyn Nets started decently against the Philadelphia 76ers, gradually let go of the rope, and wound up getting demolished at home in front of the fans at Barclays Center last night. They are now 0-6 on the season and things are NOT looking good. the opponent tonight is a […]
The focus of the New Jersey Devils this past offseason was addressing the bottom-6. They did that and added some nice pieces, but that is still the main area in which the team will have to address during the season ahead of a highly likely playoff run. The team has star power, a very solid and deep defensive group, and three goalies, so the bottom two lines are what need a little more juice. According to David Pagnotta, "They don't need to bring in star power. You want to start to look to brin...
According to multiple reports, the Mets are circling Justin Willard as their new pitching coach. Willard, 35, who was most recently the director of pitching for the Red Sox last two seasons, also coached and coordinated for the Twins from 2017-2023. If hired, Willard will join new arrivals Kai Correa (bench coach), Jeff Albert (director […]
Most Cleveland Browns fans are in one of two camps coming out of their Week 9 bye week: “Please fast forward to the 2026 NFL draft” or “Please do something, anything to make this offense better.” With the New York Jets next up on the schedule, the latter could happen in much the way that […]
With the official start of the offseason yesterday, eight Mets have become free agents: None of these eight free agents are realistic candidates to receive a qualifying offer, which is set at $22.02 million for the 2025-26 offseason. Helsley might’ve been the most likely candidate among this group prior to the 2025 season, but players […]
The Rangers finally have chemistry. And now Trocheck’s return could test it. Should Sullivan tinker or stay the course?
The Tennessee Titans are on a bye this week. That means we will get a Sunday where we don’t have to pay attention to bad football. The Titans dropped to 1-8 with their 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The New York Jets were this week, so the Titans moved up to second in […]
Over the past two seasons, Dawson Mercer has not been able to reach the heights of his breakout 2022-23 campaign. That season, he posted 27 goals and 56 points, all while dominating the run of play on a line with Nico Hischier and Tomas Tatar for much of the season. It was an excellent sophomore […]
In 2024, Alec Bohm put together the best season of his career, made the All-Star Game, and then struggled in the second half. He was benched in game two of the National League Division Series against the New York Mets and faced dozens of different trade rumors throughout the winter. Given Dave Dombrowski’s history of […]
Mike and Dan recap a busy week in which the Islanders stayed afloat thanks in large part to record-breaking super rookie Matthew Schaefer. The week started very poorly, with another blown lead followed by another blowout to a familiar bully. But what looked like a new bottom gave way to an unexpected rebound. A comeback […]
The NFL trade deadline arrives at 4:00 pm Eastern on Tuesday. Traditionally the NFL’s deadline has been quieter than those in other major professional sports leagues. Activity has picked up, however, in recent years. The Jets find themselves with a 1-7 record as we approach the deadline. The team has a number of veteran players […]
It was not a good day for John Hussey’s officiating crew. One of the more noticeable things from the 49ers’ 34–24 win over the New York Giants on Sunday was how baffling some of the calls that fell on Hussey’s watch. The 49ers got away with a couple of things, too—notably a false start on […]
The Los Angeles Rams had a nice win over the New Orleans Saints, the San Francisco 49ers beat up a New York Giants team, but the NFC West win of the weekend (the Arizona Cardinals will play on Monday Night Football) has to be the Seattle Seahawks blasting the Washington Commanders. Full disclosure, I was […]
The Sixers are 5-1, have the second-best offense and sixth-best net rating in the NBA after six games — just as we all predicted. After taking care of business Sunday night in Brooklyn over the lowly Nets, the Sixers will stay on the road for a difficult back-to-back against the equally surprising Chicago Bulls (5-1) […]
The New York Jets had a Week 9 bye. The team entered the week holding the second spot in the 2026 NFL Draft. By not playing and not losing, the team had a slight drop. Picks 19 through 32 are determined based on the results of Playoff games. The Jets have games remaining with three […]
That’s better. All of Knicks nation woke up Monday morning with a pep in their step after the team responded to their 0-3 road trip with a near-wire-to-wire victory over the undefeated Chicago Bulls on Sunday night, leading by as much as 25 in a comfortable, feel-good victory. Now, 24 hours later, they finish up […]
Meet the Mets David Peterson and Luis Torrens were not selected as National League Gold Glovers, extending the Mets’ winless streak to 11 seasons since Juan Lagares’ win in 2014. Eight different Mets are officially free agents including Starling Marte, Ryan Helsley, and Cedric Mullins. Around the National League East Matt Olson won his third […]
The World Series has given baseball fans from all walks of life memories for life. From Bill Mazeroski’s walk-off home run in 1960, the catch by Willie Mays in 1954, Luis Gonzalez’s walk-off against Mariano Rivera to thwart the New York Yankees’ chances of winning four straight championships in 2001, and more recently, the Chicago […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
A strong argument can be made that the Yankees’ strongest unit this past season was its outfield. They led all of baseball with 8.2 Wins Above Average, buoyed of course by Aaron Judge’s 5.6. But the outfield corps lost two-thirds of its starters when free agency began yesterday, with Cody Bellinger opting out of his […]
The pool of edge rush options for the 49ers at the trade deadline has decreased slightly. After landing Keion White last week, it is widely expected the 49ers will strike another trade on the defensive line, a possibility increased by the injury suffered to Mykel Williams in Sunday’s win over the New York Giants. Yet […]
