Jacob deGrom, Rolled Tide And NFL Playoffs
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS: I hope you liked my half a DJ Eberle impression. I could complain about my schedule but it was really just laziness. I have been one of many federal workers deactivated by the toddler-in-chief’s demand for a wall. I didn’t want Angry Ward to yell at me like he does DJ, but I […]
James Harden Beard Controversy, MLB Relievers Cash, Wild Card Cash Picks
HOUSTON, TX – HARDEN’S BEARD – After watching bits of Angry Ward’s Golden State Warriors gag against Houston’s Rockets, two things were abundantly clear: 1) James Harden is one heckuva hoopster. Our stat guy says he has triple doubles in 24 of his last 26 games. Amazin’ – even if prevaricated. And he carried the […]
Angry Ward: The Day After Christmas
BRONX, NY – I swore I wouldn’t post anything today. But I just can’t abide a miss. Besides, this way I can continue to take DJ Eberle to task for missing HIS assignments. ‘TWAS THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS ‘Twas the day after Christmas, when all through the city, Not a creature was stirring, not even Flyers […]
Favorite Christmas Sports Moments: Hnida, Brooklyn Americans, Podolak
NEW YORK, NY – With Angry Ward taking a well-deserved holiday respite, we tried channeling our Inner Ward – feebly – to come up with something he might consider doing today.

Pick One: Manny Machado or Bryce Harper? One Yankees Fan Ponders
SPANISH HARLEM – At point-blank range, signing one of two of best players in baseball would seem easy. As we have come to find out, though… not so much. Two players in their prime, full of potential…. Two of the ten best players in baseball… You can’t deny they are both special. If you had […]
NHL Stuff, MLB Hot Stove: Yanks, Mets, Kluber, Realmuto, Machado, Thor
NEW YORK, NY – After the Yankees lost out on Patrick Corbin (see Buddy Diaz’s piece) to Washington for six years and $130 million, the Bronx Bombers turned their attentions to Flushing, Queens. Rumors had it that Brian Cashman and the Mets and new GM, Brodie Van Wagenen, were attempting a three-team deal that would […]
Angry Ward Wednesday: Holiday Sports Wish List
BRONX, NY – It’s the holiday season. So whoop-de-doo and hickory dock, and don’t forget to hang up your sock… as Andy Williams warbled in one of the worst Christmas songs ever. Anyway, there’s plenty going on and I’m seeing lots of frozen vomit on the sidewalks, which means that Office Christmas Party season is […]
NFL Chatter, Cheesy Bruin’s FREE NFL Picks, Cheerleaders
MARLBORO, NY – Last week I tried increasing the number of selections in an effort to get my Cheesy Bruin’s FREE NFL Picks to a .500 record for this NFL season. Well, that blew up in my face like a package from the Acme Company intended for Wile E. Coyote sent by the Roadrunner. I […]
MLB Hot Stove: What Are The Yankees Waiting For? Manny Machado, Bryce Harper
SPANISH HARLEM – I could write about the Philadelphia Eagles and how winnable that game was. I won’t do that because it will only drive me crazy.
