@Joelsherman1
suggests the
#Mets
are hesitant to deal Syndergaard or Diaz to teams like the
#Yankees
or
#Astros
because they're more advanced analytically, and they could "flourish" for those teams.
In other words, "Those teams are smarter than us."
Just quit baseball.
A quick Mike Breen story.
When his tickets weren't being used, he would go to the rafters of MSG before
#Knicks
games, looking for a parent & child. He would give his tickets to them, so they could move down to the good seats.
Just the best.
New home for former
#Rams
DT Sebastian Joseph-Day -- but doesn't go very far. Sources say he has agreed with the
#Chargers
on a 3yr $24 million contract with $15 million guaranteed.
A-Rod is "indirectly" hammering the
#Yankees
front office throughout the game tonight. Once again playing the Didi card, and analytics.
And he's not at all wrong.
Patience is a four letter word to
#Jets
fans.
You weren't winning this year with Jamal, and the cap next year can go down $24 million.
You're not further away from winning a Super Bowl. You're closer, considering the $$ Jamal wanted.
Sit tight. The right guy is in charge.
Odell is a great player and has been perfect for the Rams.
But stop with revisionist history. He went on TV and blamed everyone else. He didn’t want to be a Giant anymore.
He wanted to be in LA. He forced his way out of 2 cities. Stop acting like it was all the Giants’ fault.
There is literally no downside to the
#Mets
signing
@MattHarvey33
to a minor league contract.
The risk? If he doesn’t have it - or is a distraction - he’s gone.
The reward? If he can find 60%-70% of what he was, the redemption story would be amazing.
Why not?
Flight attendant just asked if passenger Fawn Liebowitz would ring her call button. No kidding. I used to date a Fawn Liebowitz in college before she died in tragic kiln accident. She was going to make me a pot.....
#ifyouknowyouknow
We want you to pay $2.6 billion, but we control the team for 5 years.....no, wait -- make that longer. Also, you can't have the cash cow network for 20 years.....no, wait -- make that longer.
Also, you take on the $350 million in debt we have.
Deal?
#Mets
Today marks two weeks out from my second shot. I feel very fortunate, and there is a peace of mind I have this morning that I haven’t in a long time.
Get the vaccine. You will be glad you did.

Since the 1995 season, when the Cowboys last won the Super Bowl:
Conference Championship Appearances
Jets 3
Cowboys 0
Playoff Wins
Jets 7
Cowboys 4
Happy Football Season!
Aaron Judge, Gleyber Torres, anybody on the
#Yankees
can complain about 2017. They should remember — in the 4 games in Houston — they scored 1 run or less in each. That — didnt have anything to do with sign stealing.
The Mink Man -- John Minko -- is moving on. One of the originals.
He works hard, does it the right way, and always likes to have fun on the air, never takes himself too seriously. Most of all, he is just genuinely one of the best people you will ever meet.
Thank you, Mink
Passed on Darnold. He’s a Jet. Passed on Haskins. He’s a Redskin. Said they wouldn’t reach for a QB. Gettleman pulled a muscle. If this ain’t quarterback hell, I can’t imagine what it looks like. Welcome to the nightmare.
#GiantsDraft
Me: When the Jets win a Super Bowl in the next 3-5 years, you will look back to the next 3 days as the reason why.
Also me, to me: Hit tweet, you coward.
Not surprising that
@STR0
is unhappy about the way the
#Mets
view him, but he's right. He's already proven he can pitch in NY, and he's got a consistent track record.
His personality may not be your cup of tea, but dude can pitch. Stroman > Gausman.
Jeff Kent falls off the Hall of Fame ballot?
Kent might be the greatest offensive 2nd baseman of all time, and is certainly top 3. He won an MVP. He delivered in the clutch. He hit in the postseason.
But he wasn’t nice. So he’s on the outside looking in.
Stop yourselves.
Humor me.
Allen Robinson is on the last year of his deal. He's 27, and he wants out of Chicago.
How about the
#Jets
' 2021 4th round pick -- and if they sign him longterm -- it becomes a 3rd?
#Bears
My first call to WFAN was to Steve Somers “overnight & under the covers.” I was so nervous, I said “Hi Chris, this is Steve.” He laughed so hard & put me at ease.
Also, he set many fake trees on fire at Kaufman Studios with a no-filter Camel during breaks.
We love you, Steve.
Helluva win. This team has been so enjoyable to watch all year.
8 straight weeks without a bye, without seeing family, navigating classes through zoom. Physically beat up.
To see their joy is just awesome.

The problem is not the spending, it's how it's been spent.
Chapman $18 mill
Hicks $10.5 mill thru'2825
Britton $14 mill
Severino $11.5 mill
Stanton $29 mill thru '28
Some bad luck, yeah. But in finance bro speak, the Yankees' ROI has sucked, generally.
As I said on the show last night, we all have people in our lives that when we see them, they instantly make you smile. Mink is always one of those guys. Just found this from my wedding in 2007. He’s in there somewhere.
Twins dumping the Donaldson contract off on the Yankees allowed MIN to get Correa. The Yankees wouldn’t propose a similar contract?
I’ll say it again: the problem isn’t the spending - it’s how they have spent the previous money.
The 5th Steinbrenner (Cashman) is killing you.
In an Uber that reeks of weed. Driver on his second day. Has a giant box of Welch’s fruit snacks. Just offered me some. When you speak of me, remember the good things.
Just mentioned on air - tested positive yesterday. I've traveled a lot lately, had a little cold, so just tested. I feel totally fine.
My point: I'm a walking underlying condition, yet I'm fine because I'm fully vaccinated & boostered.
You do you. Just sharing my journey, fam❤️
Steve Somers is genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. A good man who loves connecting with callers, and never takes himself too seriously.
He doesn’t want all of this, I promise you, but he deserves all the love he’s going to get.
First thought: Joe Judge is a
#Giants
Head Coach. That's good, and that's bad. He obviously won the press conference, and came off very well.
This, though, was the single best thing he said:
Proud to get to call that
@RFootball
game today. Rough year and crazy week, and that team played their asses off against one of the better teams in the country. Great group. Thanks for listening all year.
We get it. Jamal Adams wants to get paid, and he wants it now.
Know who didn't get paid after their 3rd year in the
#NFL
? Aaron Donald. Khalil Mack. Von Miller. Stephon Gilmore.
Jamal is not as impactful as any of those players.
Great player. Not worth the headache.
#Jets
Can’t begin to express enough thanks to everyone who has reached out with kind words. Beyond excited to get started with
@MaggieGray
&
@BartScott57
. It’s great to be home.
@WFAN660
Sports radio has become the world's worst group therapy session in this market. "Everything sucks!" Let's go to the phones. "Everything sucks even more!
Believe what you want. The
#Giants
won a remarkably meaningless game in Week 16 last year, and it cost them a dominant pass rusher who will be wreaking havoc on them for 10 years.
The
#Jets
are about to let a once in a generation quarterback get away.
Nathaniel Hackett was Aaron Rodgers' guy for 3 yrs in Green Bay. Rodgers sung his praises to help him get the Denver job. Now, Hackett looks completely overmatched.
Sound familiar? It should. Peyton Manning did that.
For Adam Gase.

Very sad day. A lot of wonderful, talented people lost their jobs at SNY. We're with them.
If someone up above is paying attention, we could use a break down here.
Barry Bonds is the greatest baseball player ever. You can’t tell the story of baseball without him.
I’m annoyed by voters who believe they’re “keepers of the gate,” whose moral imperative it is to preserve integrity.
People with glass expense reports shouldn’t throw stones.
Gotta say — heard from a lot of good people this week. Really appreciate everyone who has reached out. We’re still in the sandbox of life, talking sports and getting paid to do it. But, If you didn’t reach out, you’re dead to me.
Just moments ago, an exchange with my wife, on the occasion of our 11th Anniversary:
Wife: "I didn't get you a card."
Me: "Me neither."
The magic is still intact.
If you met him, you were a friend for life. He only saw the good in people. He made you feel comfortable in your own skin, because he was. He knew everybody, and everybody loved him.
Raise a glass to Joe Boylan, and the good times you shared. He wouldn’t want it any other way.
Easy solution for
#Mets
if they fire Beltran / he steps down is to ask Terry Collins to manage in 2020. There’s no need to throw an Eduardo Perez into the fire in mid-January. Terry has relationships with the team’s leaders & everyone knows what to expect. Hire your guy next yr.
Is it just me or are the football coaches and executives in this town getting more handsome by the day?
We have got some absolute snacks running these teams.
Do I have this right?
1. Manish writes negative story about Gase, including an alleged burner account.
2. Manish asks Gase about this account in a press conference.
3. A story written by Manish is mysteriously posted by this burner first, then deleted, then posted by Manish.
Congratulations to Suzyn Waldman — nominated for the Radio Hall of Fame. Beginning in July, listeners can vote for her induction. Nobody more worthy — an inspirational pioneer! Congrats Suzyn!
Overwhelmed by the well wishes, didn’t expect this kind of response. It means the world, and I appreciate it so much. I’m sure I’ll piss you off soon enough, so sorry about that in advance.
Everyone's ignoring the off-season surgery that Sam Darnold had as a major factor in his development this year.
Since he had that 185 pound growth known as Adam Gase removed, he has been flourishing.

. I saw that look today. Haven’t seen it in a while, but I know that look. The passion
@GregSchiano
has for Rutgers. It’s going to take some time, but this is gonna be a show. Buckle up.
#Eagles
28,
#Patriots
24. MVP: Jay Ajayi or Fletcher Cox. Birds get in Brady's face and run the ball. Howie Roseman built in on the offensive & defensive lines, and Doug Pederson will stay aggressive. Oh, and I hate the Pats.
Lay off Zack Greinke. He’s dealt with depression and social anxiety. Yesterday was
#WorldMentalHealthDay2019
- so probably not the best time to hammer him for speaking uncomfortably. Or, ever.
Schiano to Tennessee was very predictable. Great spot for him. The guy is a program builder. If you think it’s a bad hire, you don’t know college football.
So.....Eli Manning in his weekly 5:05 spot, and
@MikePereira
at 4:10 to make sense of that mess in Pittsburgh last night. Today — it’s me and
@BartScott57
. Open your hearts.....
@WFAN660
. Good to be home.
So, yeah,
@MMehtaNYDN
had his credential pulled by the
#Jets
, backed up by the
#NFL
.
I don't buy it was his coverage. If it was,
@NYDNSports
&
@PFWAwriters
would be screaming on his behalf. The
#Jets
& the
#NFL
would set an awful precedent.
There has to be more to this.
So saddened to hear that Levi from Overbrook Park
@LeviFrm
passed away today. He was the first caller I met in Philly, and really made this out-of-towner feel accepted. Levi really was a piece of work, in a good way. You will be missed, pal.
#RIPLevi
You know who you HAD to hear from after big sports news? That's Mike Francesa for 30 yrs. He had the ultimate connection to the fan. I learned a lot from Mike. Even though we're getting the chance of a lifetime in his time slot, I'm sad today, like every other fan.
#ThanksMike
