Cautiously surprised as Mets initially defy budgets and predictions By Josh Rogers It looks like the baseball season is going to last more than a week for me. The season does go at least six months for all teams, but it’s tough to root for a “small-market” ball club once it gets to the point

Yesterday was the Mets’ opening day at Citifield. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the wind is howling mournfully between the empty seats. It seems many fans have soured over what hasn’t been an amazing year for the Mets, forcing to the team to have what looks to be the first Opening

The Olympic Games are the time to sit back, relax and admire other people’s physiques. NBC seems to have finally picked up on the penchant for more exposed flesh on network television and has even devised a guessing game on its website. It sorta resembles some sort of boy-next-door gay porn site, with headless, objectified

Sean Avery of the New York Rangers is among he most annoying players in the NHL.  If you’re a Rangers fan, you love him.  If you’re a fan of the opposing team, you hate him.  And while Avery’s career on the ice hasn’t been hall-of-fame worthy just yet, his off the ice antics have received

The transition from feature tailback to talk show sidekick has been rocky for Tiki Barber. He has tried to be as cutting and occasionally inflammatory as other sports commentators, yet he has been criticized as an athlete and disloyal teammate, instead of a burgeoning television analyst.

Barber’s longtime agent Mark Lepselter thinks that the media should lay off their new colleague. “Half the people that throw darts couldn’t take it themselves,” he said.

Unlike his predecessors, the loquacious Barber made his private thoughts about his former team very public. He wrote that Giants head coach Tom Coughlin took the joy out of football. He disparaged quarterback Eli Manning’s leadership abilities.
Then he sat back and watched his draconian former coach with his comical quarterback win Super Bowl XLII.  According to the New York tabloids, the dramatic turn of events has left Barber with egg on his face.

The Baseball Writers’ Association of America overwhelmingly voted A-Rod the AL MVP yesterday, awarding him 26 of the 28 first-place votes and 382 points. The runner-up was

After the Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants like rented mules last weekend, many analysts prognosticated that the G-Men would collapse like a house of cards down the stretch. After all, the Giants have made a habit of second-half implosions over the past few seasons. But New York proved they weren’t completely spineless yesterday,

The New York Jets were bound to win one eventually. Yesterday, “eventually” finally came. After losing numerous close games over the past two months, The Team That Couldn’t Win knocked off the first-place Pittsburgh Steelers 19-16 in overtime at the Meadowlands on Sunday. Kicker Mike Nugent (pictured) booted a 38-yard field with 5:03 remaining in

Although Barry Bonds has stolen most of the headlines today for his illegal activities, the New York Yankees have a criminal of their own.  Derek Jeter, a.k.a. Mr. Perfect, apparently isn’t so perfect after all. According to the government, the Yankees’ captain owes the state of New York million of dollars for claiming on his

The New York Knicks are so fucked up, not even Charles Manson would step into their locker room at this point. Yesterday, several reports surfaced about why Stephon Marbury left the team on Tuesday and missed that night’s game against Phoenix. And trust me, not even fiction writers could make up shit this crazy or
