While Thibodeau has cut back on formal practices/scrimmages...

The Giants have the No. 11 overall pick in next week’s 2021 NFL Draft and they need to get a player who must make an immediate impact, like right now, in the 2021 season, as a rookie. So says Dave Gettleman, the Giants’ general manager.   “Yes,” Gettleman said Thursday. “The Cliff Note answer is yes.” Does...

Memo to Zach Wilson: You will be playing quarterback for the Jets, not point guard for the Harlem Globetrotters. That message comes from Mark Sanchez, who has worn the cleats that Wilson soon will inherit. Sanchez was deemed the Jets’ savior as the No. 5 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. Wilson is the...

It’s a good time to be a Knicks fan. The players got a standing ovation from the crowd as the final seconds ticked off the clock in Wednesday night’s 137-127 win over the Hawks and the fans’ celebration didn’t end there. Following the win, which moved the Knicks up to the No. 4 seed in...

Just a few weeks remain in the NBA regular season, but quite a few teams refuse to start buckling down. The Nets experienced one of the biggest drops this week, as the Eastern Conference favorites fell outside the top five. At some point, these guys have to play together or they’ll be in danger of...

American influencer Kinsey Wolanski has opened up on how streaking during the 2019 Champions League final boosted her career. The 24-year-old left all eyes on her in Madrid two years ago when she darted across the Wanda Metropolitano pitch in a skimpy black swimsuit. It wasn’t just fans who failed to keep their eyes off...

Two struggling pitchers look to get healthy facing two struggling lineups as this struggling fortune-teller tries to pick up another W. The Pirates face the Tigers on getaway day. Matchup pits Pittsburgh’s Mitch Keller (1-2, ERA 8.74) against Detroit’s Jose Urena (0-3, ERA 5.52). Keller has been very generous, allowing 11 runs on 16 hits...

So. Close. Sixers star Joel Embiid was an in-and-out, full-court buzzer-beater away from forcing overtime in a 116-113 loss to the Suns on Wednesday night. ‘When I threw it, it looked good,” Embiid said afterward. The 7-foot center came so close to launching a near-perfect bank shot — before the ball circled around the rim,...

The journey toward the top has not been smooth for Jorge Masvidal.  He’s lost 14 pro MMA bouts. He’s come up short of championships in the three most noteworthy fight promotions since the fall of Pride in 2007. At one point in his UFC run, he lost four split decisions in a three-year span; so...

The Rangers’ playoff hopes are slimmer than my chances of ever turning down chicken parm. If the Blueshirts want to find their way in, they pretty much need to win out in their final 10 games and get help from the Bruins. To talk about the loss to the Islanders on Tuesday and where the...

Aroldis Chapman’s new pitch is called a “split change.” But there’s nothing new or changed about the results he is getting: a lot of empty swings. As the Yankees’ hitting, fielding and starting pitching came up small during a disappointing 16-game start, the bullpen lived up to the hype. And a retooled Chapman led the...

Al Ferrara, Brooklyn-born-and-raised and a Southern California resident for a long time now, followed Saturday’s Mets-Rockies opener with more of a vested interest than most. As Jacob deGrom racked up strikeout after strikeout, Ferrara admitted, he rooted for a Colorado hitter to at least hit a weak grounder or something. Anything but another K that...

LeBron James eventually deleted the tweet after it sparked a firestorm of outrage.

Move over Connor McDavid, there’s another star hockey player named Connor on the way. At just 15 years old, Connor Bedard is considered one of the top prospects eligible for the 2023 NHL Draft after a head-turning 2020-21 season in the Western Hockey League. The North Vancouver native averaged 1.87 points per game in his...

Domingo German is back for another shot at sticking in the Yankees’ rotation. The right-hander will be recalled from the alternate site and will slot back into the rotation Thursday for the series-opener in Cleveland, manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday before the Yankees’ 4-1 loss to the Braves at the Stadium. After beginning the season...

CHICAGO — Francisco Lindor’s bat was conspicuous in its presence on a night just about everything else cratered for the Mets. The firsts in a Mets uniform for the All-Star shortstop included a home run and three-hit game in his team’s 16-4 loss to the Cubs on Wednesday. Lindor improved his slash line to .222/.357/.311....

Knicks head coach Thom Thibodeau wouldn’t say how Alec Burks (COVID-19) is feeling. Burks missed his fourth straight game Wednesday. If Burks complies with the CDC’s 10-day quarantine for the asymptomatic, he won’t be back until either Monday versus the Suns or Wednesday against the Bulls. Thibodeau has filled the gap by either using Frank...

When news broke that the PGA Tour has unveiled its Player Impact Program to reward the players who move the needle the most, the first vision I had was of Tiger Woods sitting at home in Florida, where he’s recovering from his horrific February car crash, shaking his head and mumbling: “Where was this 20...

The Giants assessed the situation and projected that these unusual times would create a different sort of NFL free-agent feeding frenzy.
