Angry Ward Wednesday: Pete Alonso Socks, Daniel Jones Sucks(?), and Former Mets are Dealin’!
BRONX, NY – I’m back in the New York groove. A little over a week in Florida was plenty. Among my insanely predictable takeaways, this so-called “battleground state” now seems mostly red (maybe it’s the sun), and I am now fully retired from going to Orlando theme parks. I’d sooner buy my daughter a pony […]
Sports Rain Man: Cousins to the Jets, Not Recognizing Stars, Dad Attacks Nassar
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS – This has been one hectic week. The taskmaster known as Short Matt had me working hard the last week and a half covering rugby. Yet, he still reminds me that I am due on the hill here on Saturday. So here I am, cranking out my fourth article this week […]
Noh Canada!, USSWNT, NFL Retirements and NBA Playoffs
EL BARRIO, EL BRONX – I don’t do windows and I don’t do deadlines. That is my response to Different Matt‘s piece yesterday. I didn’t have the busiest week but it was busy enough and thankfully I picked up pieces of news along the way to make sure I was ready to fire when it […]
NFL Week 2 + Boxing

GROTE'S GRIPES: PICK YOUR FIGHT
Las Vegas, NV – Desperate for ratings, or more likely to lessen Short Matt’s workload, I have been persuaded to take over MeetTheMatts Tuesday column. Ah, Tuesday. Quite possibly the worst day of the week, especially since Angry Ward made over Wednesdays turning them into the new Saturday night. We can all agree that Tuesdays […]
UNABASHED BROTHER
by West Coast Craig BIRMINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL, THE VALLEY – One thing that Angelinos become quickly jaded towards is the Celebrity Sighting. You live here for more than a month, you learn to roll your eyes and yawn when you sit near a Cameron Diaz at a hipster diner, don’t look twice when you pass […]
NEWS FLASH: HOOPS FIELD EXPANDS TO 128
by Rex O’Rourke INDIANAPOLIS, IN – My sources at the NCAA tell me that March Madness is about to get even madder. The tournament is expanding to an unbelievable 128 teams in 2011. Schools that never came close to joining the big dance will now have a chance to compete on the biggest stage in […]
HIDE YOUR WOMEN, CRO-MART IS COMING
“Did the rabbit die?!” NEW YORK, NY – The recent NFL free agent and trading period brought a former Pro Bowl cornerback with a made-for-the-tabloids personal life to the New York Jets. But this signing hasn’t struck nearly as much fear in AFC East wideouts as it has in Metropolitan Area fathers, husbands, boyfriends and […]
BIG BROTHER AND THE NO FUN LEAGUE
by Missy-Jill Dixie & Ed Diz (Missy and Ed happened to be at a biz conference together – no hanky-panky was involved. Allegedly.) SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS – We were reading the USA Today – with its Pulitzer Prize-winning Weather Section – because it’s the only paper that this cheapo hotel we were in had. The […]
