With this news coming out today, now you have to wonder if Hassan Reddick just doesn’t want to play for the morbid franchise that is the New York Jets. Just peep the facts: Reddick faced significant financial losses due to fines and still forfeited entire game checks amid a contract dispute. Indeed, he’s already accrued…

Mets Beat Dodgers 7-3, Tie Up NLCS at One Game Apiece
Can’t front that Dodgers scoreless streak was starting to get scary, reminiscent of Orel Hershiser way back in 1988. But the early Vientos grand slam changed all that. We got a 6-0 lead, never looked back and now we’re headed back to Citi Field tied 1-1, which if you believe in the old adage of…
Jets Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel Hackett Finally Stripped of Play Calling Duties
Yet, Hackett gets to keep the title of “Offensive Coordinator”, which to the rest of the world makes zero sense, but in Jets world makes plenty of sense. Bottom line, Hackett–who really shouldn’t have a job in the NFL anymore when you look at his long history of total ineptness with a variety of QB’s–should’ve…
Mets Beat Phillies 4-1, Win NLDS
First, it was really exciting to get this done in front of a home crowd (interesting enough, the Mets have never lost in the Division series), the 1st time the Mets have won a playoff series at home in 24 years. Second, after Edwin Diaz walked the first two Phillies batters in the 9th I…
Jets Fire Head Coach Robert Saleh
Owner Woody Johnson says that the decision ‘was his alone’ but no one believes that. We all saw that awkward hug Saleh and Aaron Rodgers had during that Week 3 game against New England, that shit was really telling when it comes to who was really running the Jets. And while Saleh and his 20-36…
Pete Alonso’s 9th-Inning HR Stuns Brewers, Sends Mets to NLDS Against Phillies
To think, as soon as Pete stepped to the plate I called it “the biggest at-bat of his career”. Now it can be filed as one of the biggest HR’s in New York Met history. And great for Pete, who everyone and their mother was harping on due to his recent slump, while conveniently forgetting…
Mets Rally Past Braves in Game 1 Thriller, Clinch NL Wild-Card Spot
What an unbelievable comeback. 6 runs in the 8th inning after shutout up to that point. And Francisco Lindor hitting a two-run homer in the ninth to send the Mets to an 8-7 win over the Braves and clinching a National League wild-card berth, just gives you more reason why Lindor should win the MVP.
Mets Need To Win 1 of 2 Games Against Braves Tomorrow to Make Playoffs
No Lindor tomorrow and I’d say that the Mets don’t have a chance to et in the playoffs as a wild card. But with our MVP back, I’m confident that we can win at least one game. Of course our starting pitching Monday matters a lot too (as well as the slumping JD Martinez), but…
Mets-Braves Series Postponed Because of Poor Weather, Moved to Monday Doubleheader
Another reason why MLB sucks. Instead of fast, decisive action about an important series and hurricane they knew about 4-5 days ago, they move it to a doubleheader on Monday. Unbelievable.
Shohei Ohtani’s “Historic” 50/50 Season Needs an Asterisk
Call me a prude or a purist whatever, but I just can’t get excited about Shohei Ohtani’s “historic” 50/50 season. Not when you take in the fact that for the first time ever MLB increased base sizes from 15 square inches to 18 square inches “in order to promote player safety and make bang-bang plays…
Paul Finebaum Goes Apocalyptic on Stephen A. Smith for Quoting Deion Sanders Correctly
Be interesting to see what, if anything, comes from this because Finebaum (who always acts like the media can do no wrong) clearly crossed the line. And as much as SAS loves to talk about how much he “loves” everybody, when a colleague questions your integrity and gets extra personal talking about how you need…
Dolphins Place QB Tua Tagovailoa on IR After Concussion
I know that he’s only 26, but Tua Tagovaila should just retire. His health needs to be his No. 1 priority and he has plenty of guaranteed money in his contract to take care of himself and his grand kids. But word has it that he refuses to quit. In fact, Tua has already begun…
Minnesota Twins Cut Minor League Catcher Derek Bender for Tipping Pitchers
Wonder how much this news will be picked up by the national media because it’s an insane story. I mean, after signing for $297,500, the guy gets cut by Minnesota for telling opposing hitters what pitch was coming during at-bats in a game with playoff implications. That’s it, career over. Simply put, the dude can’t…
Tyreek Hill Can STFU About Traffic Stop Cop Being Fired
Yes, the first cop was way too aggressive taking Tyreek Hill put the car. But nonetheless Hill should’ve humbled himself and complied when he asked for his ID for speeding and kept giving the p.o. flak for tapping on his car window. That’s my view after watching the badge cam footage of the incident. They…
Rest In Peace Ed Kranepool
If I did see Ed Kranepool play live, I was too young to remember. But I do know that he was a native New Yorker who spent his entire 18-year career with the Mets. He was also an All-Star in 1965, a member of the ’69 champs and the franchise all-time leader in games played….
