Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
MLB History 1926 – The Chicago Tribune releases a story stating that the Detroit Tigers threw a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox in 1917 to help Chicago win the pennant. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis responds by holding a hearing on the matter, but dismisses all charges as he can find no witnesses to […]
On Sunday Aaron Glenn blasted the Jets for lack of effort. On Monday he said effort wasn’t a problem, it was a schematic thing. Every time this man opens his mouth his credibility drops to a new low. Just keep chopping up your big ship while turning your instant coffee into wood. The man has […]
It was another MVP like performance for Drake Maye on Sunday as the quarterback left New York completing 19-of-21 passes for 256 yards and five touchdowns in a 42-10 dismantling of the Jets. While it’s worthwhile to point out the quality of opponent, Maye continued to etch his name in record books as he posted […]
The Islanders wake up still in second place in the Metro after the Capitals lost in regulation to Florida last night. They are in Chicago to try to rebound from the loss in Columbus and build some cushion in the ever-close Eastern standings — where Buffalo is now two points behind. After a promising but […]
Another chance to get a win.
Week 17 was a full-on success for the New England Patriots. Not only did they celebrate a 42-10 victory over the New York Jets that was very much uncontested, they also ended up clinching the AFC East later on Sunday. As the cherry on top, they also caught a much-needed break on the injury front. […]
Against all odds and a horn “malfunction,” the Knicks still got a road dub on Monday. New York visited New Orleans and dropped the Pelicans further down their tank, beating them in a close affair. Here’s the latest from your superheroes—no, really, five of them ranked inside the Eastern Conference Top 16 in votes for […]
We’ve got just two days left in 2025, until we can finally turn the page to 2026.

It was a busy day for the Carolina Hurricanes. First off, they claimed center Noah Philp off the waiver wire then they announced that goalie, Pyotr Kochetkov would undergo surgery, which would probably knock him out for the rest of the season. Next up, they had to take on the New York Rangers who were […]

The afternoon games in Week 17 had a massive impact on the top of the NFL Draft order, including the top two picks. The Giants came into Week 17 with a 2-13 record, a nine-game losing streak, and holding the first overall pick, and then beat down the Raiders, giving up the No. 1 spot […]
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter on ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ he believes that the Indianapolis Colts are “banking on” injured pending free agent starting quarterback Daniel Jones “being back.” Specifically, it’s Schefter’s opinion right now that the two sides will reach agreement on a new contract, and Jones will be ready for the start of […]
The New York Knicks (23*-9) refuse to quit. On Saturday, they had to work hard in the fourth quarter to withstand a strong push from the Hawks. Tonight, facing the New Orleans Pelicans (8-25) at the Smoothie King Arena, the Knicks were the team mounting the second half rally. And once again, they came away […]
Steve Kerr knew what his Golden State Warriors were in for when they visited the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night: “Every time we’ve played them over the last couple years, they’ve been energetic, well-organized, well-coached. So, you know, they came to our place last year and beat us. We came here last year, and it […]
The Rangers showed some push at the midway point of the season, but sustained pressure from Carolina eventually told the story as New York settled for one point in a 3–2 overtime loss.
Tonight the Knicks (22*-9) travel to the bayou to face the Pelicans (8-25). New York is firing on all cylinders and fought off a late-game comeback to escape Atlanta with a win on Saturday. New Orleans would appreciate it if you’d attend a game and fill their empty seats. It’s no surprise that they clog […]
Umm… the Brooklyn Nets have been a really good basketball team and dare we say fun? Other than abysmal three-point shooting, the Nets approached near perfection Saturday in Minneapolis. Cam Thomas returned with 30 points in 19 minutes, arguably his best game as a Net. It’s all strange? 🏀 KEY INFO Golden State Warriors (16-16) […]

Mission accomplished for the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17. Between putting their best players on injured reserve leading up to the game against the New York Giants and what they showed on the field, it seems pretty clear that the Raiders were more than happy to lose on Sunday. Las Vegas’ tank isn’t quite […]
If the Brooklyn Nets beat the Golden State Warriors Monday night, with or without Steph Curry flashing shots from half court or beyond, the Nets will have won eight games out of 10 in December and likely secured their reputation as one of the NBA’s best defensive teams. Going into the 7:30 p.m. ET contest […]
