Also thoughts on the Mets trading for White Sox OF Luis Robert and giving up IF Luisangel Acuna. And some things to discuss on the Islanders...

Reacting to last night's news on Kyle Tucker signing with the 2x defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, and an instant reaction to the Mets signing Bo Bichette to a 3 year deal today.

Recapping each of the NFL Wild Card Playoff games this weekend, giving my takes on those outcomes, as well as some firings to talk about in light of certain teams' playoff losses over the weekend. Plus an update on the MLB Offseason as even on a random Tuesday in January, the stove is indeed still hot.

Something that I won’t understand in 2026? Why people like new NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani are sympathizing with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro after being captured by the US. Then again this isn’t all that surprising. As always, all opinions expressed on this podcast are solely my own.

A State of The Program, if you will, for the Penn State Nittany Lions football program entering 2026 and coming off a very disappointing season that at least ended on a good note. A victory over Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl last week makes that fairly easy to say.  But now there are a lot more questions than answers entering the 2026 offseason, especially with a new coach in Iowa State's Matt Cam...

Reacting to the Mets' all-time home run leader, Pete Alonso, signing a five year, $155m contract with the Baltimore Orioles today. I also delve into why the Mets perhaps chose not to match the contract, why David Stearns needs to be trusted by Mets fans, how this could work out for the Amazin's in the long-term, and where this leaves the Mets moving forward. I will probably be a wanted man in Quee...

My reaction to Edwin Diaz signing with the defending 2x World Series Champion LA Dodgers.

My raw reaction to the Mets trading Brandon Nimmo, the longest tenured Met on the current iteration of the team, to the Texas Rangers tonight.

The Cross Islanders Parkway is back for the 25-26 NHL season, and what a way to come back with a 5-1 road trip so far and the team exceeding expectations that many, including myself, thought were low if not nonexistent.  Then a thrilling game in Dallas last night which saw a thrilling finish and tensions boil over, which leads to Islander fans circling the date of the Stars' return to UBS Arena in...

I touch upon last week's tragic passing of longtime New York Rangers NY Post beat writer Larry Brooks, and the impact he left upon the Blueshirts community as well as the New York hockey community. As a lifelong Islander fan and as someone who has shared the press box with several Isles beatwriters, I felt it was my obligation to touch upon how Brooksie shaped the way the Islanders are covered to...

Zohran Mamdani's victory in the 2024 New York City Mayoral Election was not at all a shocker to anyone who has paid attention to the race, and felt like a formality ever since he beat Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary this summer. So many pundits think that's the end of New York City as we know it but really, I think we'll be fine as a city. This may be the start of rough times depending on h...

Was Game 7 of the 2025 World Series even real? The scriptwriters cooked so much that it seems almost impossible for it to be as perfect as we got it. Going through Game 7 of the 2025 World Series and what it means for baseball's future, and where this game will rank among the great games of baseball's past. For now, what a way to end a season. Congrats to the Los Angeles Dodgers on a job well done...

For the first time since 1993, the Toronto Blue Jays are in the World Series and New York baseball fans like myself are rooting for Don Mattingly’s Blue Jays in this one, hoping that as the Jays bench coach, that he will win the World Series ring that alluded him in the Bronx. I also reflect on the fact that 10 years ago today, I saw the Mets make their only World Series in my lifetime thus far an...

Sounding off on this year’s MLB All Star voting, particularly a questionable All Star reserve pick over some guys who definitely deserve to be there more. I mean it is a glorified popularity contest after all…

So McDonald’s snack wraps are back for the first time in a decade, and this “foodie” got his hands on both. How does he feel about trying the snack wraps for the first time and are they worth the wait?
