The New York Jets are all in on Aaron Rodgers. But they can’t let that get in the way of making a good football trade with the Green Bay Packers to acquire the star quarterback.

According to a report, there might be one very important member of the New York Jets hierarchy who’s not so upset Derek Carr signed elsewhere in NFL free agency.

There will be plenty of comings and goings on the New York Jets roster this offseason. But coach Robert Saleh said he most definitely wants one “rock star” to return for the 2023 season.

The New York Mets most likely will start the 2023 MLB season without their top prospect, Francisco Alvarez, on the Opening Day roster. That’s totally OK. As much as the Mets organization and its fans would love to see the 21-year-old crushing balls over the wall at Citi Field as soon as possible, the slow […]

The New York Jets should not overthink their quarterback decision for 2023: Aaron Rodgers should be under center for them when next season begins.

Steve Cohen doesn’t much care what other MLB owners think of him or how he runs the business of the New York Mets. And that, in part, is why he and his $500 million spending spree this offseason is both good and bad for Major League Baseball. Cohen is polarizing because there seems to be […]

The New York Jets never quite had a night like they did Thursday in their star-crossed 63-year history.
