Jason Giambi shaved his mustache yesterday, a tragic day for facial-hair enthusiasts but a good one for those who wish Jason Giambi would just shut up and go take walks and hit home runs and stop bothering us with his thongs and mustache and nonsense. We used to love mustaches. Really. They’re totally hilarious, and [...]

This is a tough card for us to play since we’re affiliated with a different sports news network, albeit a regional one. But man, is anything going to be lamer than SportsCenter going live every day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.? We guess this is some sort of attempt to tap into the network [...]

It didn’t take us long to get sick of the trade deadline this year. Naturally, as Mets fans we’ve been sick of the trade deadline since the Amazins traded Jason Isringhausen for Billy Taylor, not to mention the time they sent some Kazmir guy to Tampa Bay for surefire All-Star, 10-minute-fix Victor Zambrano. (It should [...]

We took some shots at Kellen Clemens in The Nooner today, but we want to sort of take them back. Because as Jets fans, we’ve seen way, way, way too much of Chad Pennington at this point. Dude can’t throw the ball. It’s kind of sad, to be honest, that someone purporting to be an [...]

So in Wednesday night’s Mets game, Phillies radioman Larry Anderson vilified Jose Reyes for celebrating his go-ahead three-run homer, saying, “Someone should hit him in the neck.” You can hear the clip (after some other Mets debate) in the embedded video below. There’s nothing worse than some holier-than-thou jackass telling a professional athlete he can’t [...]

Part of the job description for being a closer in New York not named Mariano Rivera is that the fans will hate you. Mets fans had a big love-hate thing with John Franco, and he was pretty damn good too. Everyone hates Armando Benitez, and that’s fair, but even he was good for three of [...]

We don’t want Brett Favre on the Jets. We don’t care if he’s better than Chad Pennington’s brain on Kellen Clemens’ body, we’re just sick of all the Brett Favre love being tossed around. He already retired once and we already dealt with ESPN’s fawning once. That’s enough. Done. You’re finished. Everyone loves American grit [...]

In today’s Nooner, we got in a barb about how Brett Myers once beat his wife in public. It raised the eyebrows of our censors a bit, but we pointed out how it was nothing but the truth simply presented as a joke. Of course, that doesn’t mean domestic violence is something to joke about. [...]

David Beckham rolled into town this weekend, and whoop de freaking doo. So the dude used to be the best soccer player in the world, and now he plays in the MLS. That’s like Barry Bonds going to play professional baseball in Mexico right now. Except unlike Beckham, we have a feeling Bonds would still [...]

The Nooner took on everybody’s favorite scapegoat, Lastings Milledge, today and we wanted to post a link to his hit single, Bend Ya Knees, to accompany it. As of press time, our internet-scouring intern still hasn’t found one. In fact, Soldier Boi Records’ (not to be confused with Soulja Boy) Myspace page is now just [...]
