I’ve been told you’re not supposed to overreact after one game in the NFL — particularly if that one game happens to be the season opener. So, in that spirit of remaining levelheaded, I’m not going to overreact after the Giants desultory 28-6 loss to the Vikings in their home…
There isn’t a more enigmatic, fascinating and potentially volatile team in the NFL in 2024 than the Cowboys. This is a talent-loaded team that’s won 12 games in each of the past three seasons, and yet is one more disappointing postseason away from being blown up. Teams such as the…
The 1968 Packers couldn’t do it, but that made sense: They were already older than Old Faithful, and they’d bid farewell to Vince Lombardi. The ’74 Dolphins couldn’t do it because Kenny Stabler found Clarence Davis through a sea of Miami hands to end Don Shula’s quest, just before the…
There was Evan Neal, back in the saddle at last at his old RT home, burying Tanzel Smart into the turf on the second play of the first Giants series, resembling a pile-driving people mover on the ground, not looking like a heavy-footed plodder getting to the second level of…
Commercial content 21+. In the misguided age of PPR, wide receivers have come to rule fantasy football. Sure, running backs still checker the top of draft boards, but it ain’t like the old days. Receivers populate 15 of the Madman’s top 21 overall rankings — partly because WR health is…
This was a couple of years ago, before Reggie Jackson wandered to the baseball Death Star in Houston, when he would still spend some weeks of spring in Tampa, imparting knowledge to those younger players who sought it and generally entertaining the rest of us on the periphery. This was…
We get used to things, as sports fans, even if we are resistant in our ways. There are certain mysteries for which we never seek truth, such as: why can’t a quarterback, warming up on a sideline, receive the throw back to him by himself? Was there a rash of…
It has been a long and lonely road back to his huddle, a long and lonely road across nine months on which only a man on a mission could scoff at the potholes and beat the odds and fully expect to complete the journey ahead of everyone else’s schedule. And…
There was the ugly phase of the Mets season that lasted into late May. Next came the meteoric rise over six weeks that fueled postseason dreams. Now meteoric has been replaced by mediocrity — or something worse — threatening to bury the Mets even before they start a road trip…
Aaron Judge has been so fantastic, so vital and so ridiculously overlooked while we obsess over multiple minor Yankees imperfections (rotation, bullpen back-end, hustle) that I intended to wait to write about him on a Yankees off day, when he wouldn’t be competing for space with our game stories. But…
