Knicks Season on Ice as They Find Themselves in 3-1 Hole
It was another forgettable night for the New York Knicks last night, as they fell to the Miami Heat by a final score of 109-101 in game 4 of this best of 7 second round series. The crowd at Kaseya Center was rocking as their hometown Heat took down New York for the second time at home, and the Knicks walked off the court with a daunting 3-1 series deficit as they head back home for game 5 on Wednesday.
What Game would be the Best Season Opener for the Giants?
The NFL Draft is over, so the NFL’s next big event is the schedule release. While it is kind of funny how much attention a schedule release gets, it is fun for fans. For those who like to go to games, this date allows them to plan their entire fall/winter.
RECAP: Red Bulls Fall To Union To Start Busy Homestand
The New York Red Bulls suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Union in their latest fixture on Saturday evening. It’s a seventh straight game without a win for New York, who sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference after 11 games. On paper, the result makes...
NYCFC and the future of City Football Group
If you’re a fan of NYCFC, you probably have some idea that this franchise is somehow connected globally to other teams and there’s a vague relationship to foreign owners who love soccer first and foremost. However, if you are not familiar with the concept of the City Football Group, you should be because this business structure could very well be the entire future of football/soccer globally.
Uh, the Hudson River Rivalry isn’t the Stanley Cup
Teams in various sports have a tendency to burn themselves out in one playoff series and then have nothing left in the tank to continue on to the next level of the playoffs, let alone win championships. Apparently, the New Jersey Devils have confused winning the postseason Hudson River Rivalry over the New York Rangers is akin to winning the Stanley Cup.
Giants Lock Up Dexter Lawrence with Massive Extension
Star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence inked a contract extension, locking him up for the next four years. This deal is worth up to $90 million, with $60 million guaranteed. This move helps the Giants move towards keeping the foundation of a defense that, while it had its issues, was very promising this past season.
Four Potential Replacements For Red Bull Head Coach Gerhard Struber
The seat is hot under Gerhard Struber. In fact, there really aren’t many things that could make things worse for the New York Red Bulls’ head coach. Sitting bottom of the Eastern Conference, the team is off to its worst start in over a decade. Combine that with the Dante Vanzier incident, including Struber’s own actions, and his popularity is at an all-time low. A walk-out by the three RBNY supporter’s groups last game, with potentially more coming, are all calling for Struber to be off the team.
Following the NFL Draft, Where are the Giants Biggest Weaknesses?
The NFL Draft is officially over. The Giants made some big picks, and appeared to fill some big needs. That, of course, hinges on the players playing to the level that they are expected too. Despite what is being heralded as a solid draft by Joe Schoen, the Giants still have a lot of needs on the roster.
Knicks Set to Take On Heat at the Garden in Pivotal Game 2
The New York Knicks are gearing up for a crucial game 2 matchup with the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden tonight at 7:30, coming off a 108-101 defeat in game 1. Players off the court tonight will have a great impact on the affair, as both teams won’t be at 100% for this round 2 battle tonight at the Mecca. Regardless of injuries, the Knicks will need to make many adjustments fr tonight in order to bounce back.
Gotham FC: Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Back
It’s hard to judge a soccer team solely on the results of one match. After all, it’s just one of many matches each season. However, a letdown match can lead to another letdown, and the next thing you know, your team is in a tailspin and heading to the bottom of the NWSL table. For Gotham FC, last week was just a symptom of the “three steps forward, two steps back” syndrome that many teams face and provides additional challenges for the remainder of the 2023 season.
Devils, Schmid peaking at the Right Time
As I mentioned in my article on the “other” team in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, the New Jersey Devils have found new life and new hope in the last few games. What a difference a week makes as the Devils and their new goaltending hero Akira Schmid are peaking at the right time in the playoffs and are poised to advance to the next round – if they can take care of business.
NYCFC may just be onto a Winning Combination
As the MLS season meanders into May and warmer weather is coming, NYCFC may have discovered the “secret sauce” to keep the winning ball rolling. With a now-solid 4-2-3 record and moving up the Eastern Conference standings (and MLS Power Rankings), the Pigeons may be on to some winning combinations and of course, not a minute too soon to get the 2023 season on the right track.
The Rangers have run out of excuses: Win or Go Home
This time last week, the New York Rangers sat pretty high and mighty with a 2-0 advantage in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs against their local rivals the New Jersey Devils. And why not? Coming off identical 5-1 wins, everything looked to be happening at the right time for the Blueshirts. And then a funny thing happened on the way to the second round for the Rangers – the Devils came alive again and tonight the Rangers will either win or simply go home in an epic playoff collapse.
FOCO Releases Scott Niedermayer New Jersey Devils 1995 Stanley Cup Champions Bobblehead

The Scott Niedermayer New Jersey Devils Stanley Cup Champions Bobblehead was just released by FOCO, giving fans and collectors...
What does Deonte Banks do for the Giants Defense?
Let’s be honest, it has been a long time since the Giants took a quality cornerback in the NFL Draft. In 2019, it was Deandre Baker. A year of poor play and an arrest for armed robbery later, that experience was over. Before that, it was Eli Apple. While Apple was not as much of a disaster as Baker, this was still a poor pick, something that came to be expected from the Giants after Super Bowl 46. Their last quality drafted cornerback was likely Prince Amukamara, who was solid with the Giants and for a few years with the Bears, but nothing special.
Draft Day: Time for GM Joe Schoen to Work his Magic
We loved what GM Joe Schoen and Head Coach Brian Daboll did in 2022. We’ve seen their work in the 2023 offseason and are even more excited for the upcoming season. Yesterday, they gave us a little taste of what the Giants’ present and future way of doing business will be like with the new Giants Draft Room. Today, and for the next three days, Giants fans get to enjoy a draft with supreme confidence in our GM and his staff.

The Biggest Nugget from the Joe Schoen Press Conference and Why it Matters
It is Smoke Screen Season. GM’s and teams in general are putting out different information left and right trying to throw each other off. With the Giants picking at 25, there isn’t as much noise surrounding them this year. That is why Joe Schoen’s pre-draft press conference last week to some was quite boring. What did come of it was an interesting nugget regarding how Schoen looks at what positions to draft.
Does the New York sports media ignore Soccer?
Is soccer really a popular sport in the New York metropolitan area? This may sound like a loaded question but it’s a question that still remains to be answered. With some of the most storied sports franchises in North America located in the Big Apple, does this city really like soccer at all?
