Skip the Little League World Series,Here Are NFL Fantasy Football Picks!
MARLBORO, NY – It’s August and for me that means two things–the Little League World Series tournament and NFL Fantasy Football season. As much as I’d like to pontificate about the Little Leaguers, I’ll save that for a future column. Like DJ Eberle on Monday, I’ll give you one sleeper at each position but unlike […]
Angry Ward Wednesday: An Open Letter to Jerry Jones
August 8, 2018 Dear Jerry Jones: It has come to our attention that you are still the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, one of the most reviled franchises in the history of professional sports. Good for you… for still being alive! We can remember all those years ago when you took control of the only […]
Big Ben Whitney: Trump University vs LeBron High, the Trumpster fires Insults at LeBron, Don Lemon
Akron, OH – If you stopped by to see me admit some hard truths about the Yankees, well, I’m sorry to disappoint. I’m not ready. Instead, I am riveted by the clown in the white house, who spent another Friday night mean girl Tweeting. LeBron James was on the business end this time, as the […]
Yankees Lacking Leadership? Hockey Rangers Double Down on Rebuild.
NEW YORK, NY – The Yankees are not looking good right now. A lack of focus has led to silly mistakes. An ugly game Wednesday afternoon was followed by an even uglier game last night in Boston. They look lazy. All of the above begs the question: Are The Yankees Lacking Leadership? Aaron Boone was hired […]
Angry Ward Wednesday: Oakland A’s, Clancy Strays, and the Daily News in Distress
HIGHLANDS, NC – I’m on vacation in the middle of nowhere. Almost no cell service, limited WiFi access, basically a Millennial’s nightmare. I’m not even all that sure what’s going on in sports. Has anyone on the Mets contracted Bubonic Plague? What’s Trump’s latest lame effort to deflect attention from the fact that Russia owns his […]
Subway Series Report: Mets Fans Are Cheap As Management
MARLBORO, NY – Yesterday I spent the afternoon at 161st Street and River Avenue in the Bronx; home to the New York Yankees. It was my first ever “Subway Series” interleague game between the New York Mets and the reviled Yankees. It was, for lack of a better word, amazing, at what I walked away […]
Rain Man Rants: LeSean McCoy, Lakers, Lebron and World Cup Wonders
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS – It is another late night work night at the MTM office. It wasn’t about a text from Management this time, I just got busy and tired. But I am fresh as a daisy to type this out for you, my dedicated fans. I knew the Song of the week and […]
Angry Ward Wednesday: Your Sports Marriage Isn’t Working Out. Jeter, Bieber, Christie
NEW YORK, NY – 24-year-old popster Justin Bieber got engaged the other day to Stephen Baldwin’s 21-year-old daughter (good luck with that father-in-law, Biebs), and the kids couldn’t seem happier. That’s the way it always is at the beginning: you’re going to great restaurants, getting bombed, having sex all the time, living in the “now,” and […]
Rain Man Rants: Mets Prescription, Gareon Conley and World Cup Update
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS – I got a text on Thursday night, around 9pm, that I needed to move up in the batting order, again this weekend. I had to quickly search for topics – which was easy – so here we are ready in a hurry. Today’s’ menu: We’ll start with a savory Song […]
Angry Ward Wednesday: Carmelo Signs, A’s Fans are Missing, Exhibition Football Sucks
BRONX, NY – After what’s already been a fairly brutal summer (heatwaves, forest fires, and the inextinguishable dumpster fire at the White House), we move into the truly dreadful days of mid- to late-August. As a kid you remember this as the time when the “Back to School” ads and sales started popping up, and your […]
