The following is not about sports at all. Every now and then, something happens that is so important, so earthshaking, that it pulls our attention away from Brett Favre’s mandsome stubble for a while. And frankly, today, we can’t focus on anything else. We’re referring, of course, to the escalating beef between rapper/actor 50 Cent [...]

So the Giants are good. No, not good. Great. Spectacular. The Giants are George Foreman at his best. Step, step, punch. Step, step, punch. Get punished or bail out, you’ve no other option (unless you’re the Browns, apparently). And the Jets are good, too. We’ve been through this, and we’re still not totally believers, but, [...]

Oh man. That Brett Favre is something, isn’t he? Color us unconvinced, even now. And conflicted, as Jets fans and Favre haters. We think we might be starting to come around if it weren’t for Favre’s sideline nonsense that the NFL Network kept cutting to. Jets score to make a 17-6 lead a 23-6 one? [...]

Mike Piazza’s writing a book. Insert joke here. We poked fun at Piazza in today’s show, and to be honest, we feel a little guilty about it. Piazza is one of our favorite players of all time, and he’s without question the greatest offensive player in Mets’ history. Beyond that, he carried himself with class [...]

What happened? We were all set for another crummy season of Jets football, filled with expectations and concluding with an 8-8 record and a mediocre draft pick that will inevitably be misused. Then something changed, the Jets won three in a row and all of a sudden they’re heading into Foxborough for a showdown with [...]

We’re haters. We’ll admit that. See Favre, Brett for details. But we actually like Stephon Marbury. Maybe it’s because he’s a local boy or because we own a pair of his $9 sneakers or because he’s got a scalp tattoo. Or maybe because, easy though it may be to dismiss Steph as just another talented [...]

We love that in the election’s wake, just about every sports journalist and analyst has felt the need to weigh in on the importance of Barack Obama’s victory and what it means for America. Great. We couldn’t have figured that without you, Chris Berman. But now, forced into double duty, sports journalists around the world [...]

So according to a report from Brendan Kuty on SNY.tv, Brett Favre today admitted to chatting with former Lions GM Matt Millen about the Packers’ gameplan against the Lions, which the Lions then used to stomp the Packers. Of course, newsmakers ESPN refused to report the story, which had developed over the last week, for [...]

We like Manny Ramirez. We’re not sure he belongs on the Mets or Yankees, but we’d welcome him because he’d make our joke-writing duties a whole lot easier. Plus he’s awesome at baseball, even though he can’t — despite what he says — run or play defense. He’s a professional hitter, and he’s great at [...]

It stings that the Phillies made the World Series. We know they’ll lose because they’re the Phillies and teams from Philadelphia don’t win championships (perhaps to phight the phans that even Jimmy Rollins can’t love) and because the American League is so far superior to the Senior Circuit. So we can get past it, even [...]
