Angry Ward: Jake’s Try for Third Cy, Saquon Barkley Gets Battered, and Ben Roethlisberger Finds Jesus
BRONX, NY – Today I’ve decided to kinda ping pong around and talk about a few different things, rather than laser-focusing my rage on something obvious like Kirk “F**king” Cousins or the latest foibles of New York’s 9-foot Monster Mayor. Even I can sometimes use a respite from the 24/7/365 rage-a-thon. So, let’s throw it into […]
Big Ben: Bombers Bombing in Bumpy Season, Rangers on the Brink, Swan Song for The King
STAMFORD CT – The New York Yankees are storming through a season that might get shut down before it gets going. The New York Rangers are one game away from being ousted in a Stanley Cup tournament that looks like it will have a champion. I might be a week or so away from going […]
A Bard For The Yips, Harden’s Blue Mask, NL’s Best Team
NEW YORK, NY – It’s hot here in Hell’s Kitchen and it’s only going to get hotter tomorrow. You can see that wave of heat off the black top on Tenth Avenue – there ain’t no Freeze-Out, Boss. Anyway, it’s now the middle of summer and finally, at long last, we will have some Major […]
NBA and MLB are Doomed Due to COVID Rise
NEW YORK, NY – With the major sports set to resume over the next few weeks, there are still some major concerns over whether the sports can pull off the restart safely. The NBA bubble is up and going. Think of the Orlando facility like a fortified compound in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. […]
Flag Day Sports Special: Kelley O’Hara, Rick Monday, Douglass MacArthur, Cheesy Bruin
SHOHOLA, PA – I have returned! I’m quickly on the mend with the help of my lady and now nurse Kelly Belfast, who insisted my recovery from surgery take place in these Pennsylvania mountains. Today is almost a bittersweet day, given the tumult of current events but trudge on we will. In the wake of […]

COVID COUNTY, USA – Welcome to Memorial Day Weekend, where we look forward to BBQ’s, MLB baseball, NHL and NBA playoffs… oh wait, none of those things are on tap anymore. Oh well, we can watch some reruns of old games. Wait… I guess Horse Racing is happening now? Well, in the spirit segues from […]
Alternative Celebrity Owners For Mets, Knicks & Cowboys. Denzel, Alicia, Judd?
FLUSHING, NY – Even in the bowels and shadows of La Guardia Airport, The Sun Also Rises. And it has, finally, making the entire borough of Queens look significantly better. Sure, it’s still colder than normal and the virus has the streets 90% empty – or 10% full – depending on your perspective… but today […]
#Covid19 Inspired Best Pickoff Moves in MLB History
NEW YORK, NY – Yesterday, Cam James presented a cabin-fever/cannabis(?)-inspired reach-n-grab of a thought-provoking/entertaining piece re Jackie Robinson and The Best MLB Bunters. Piggybacking that as the very serious #Covid19 virus continues to cruelly pick us off, let’s sidestep this batsh!t crazy epidemic and spin Cam’s gem with a variation, The Best MLB Pickoff Moves. […]
Painkillers, Cespedes, Bruins at Rangers Means $$$
SHOHOLA, PA – Here I lay, prone from a trip to the Bronx Zoo after a great deal of walking on an already balky back and legs. Muscle relaxers are doing just enough to keep the pain at bay and my faculties organized for today’s post. As Angry Ward alluded, February is a horrible sports […]
Autumnal Ward Wednesday: Vikes Stink, Giants & Jets Done, Mets Out. My Interest in Sports Dropping Like Leaves
BRONX, NY – Well, as of 9:30 am EST yesterday, it’s officially autumn. This season is one of the main reasons palookas like me live here in the Northeast.
