AJ Duffy is now a graduate student and far from his days with FSU, but after a dominant season in Connecticut it may be safe to say that Duffy is accustomed to the Charger way.

Former New York Jets flamethrower has announced his immediate retirement at age 31. Streveler announced his retirement on March 29th, with a post on Instagram.  Streveler appeared in 9 regular games throughout his three-year NFL career, two games came as a New York Jet where he made his first and only career start with. As a New York Jet, Streveler went 10-for-15 passing (66.7%) for 90 yards throughout the 2022 season. He did not throw a touchdown or interception. Streveler a

Bichette is 1-for-14 with eight strikeouts, but then again he also has only played three games.

The New York Knicks stand 8-2 for their last 10 games played. As the 2025/26 season draws closer to an end the race for second place in the Eastern Conference continues to heat up between New York and the Boston Celtics. Both teams stand 5.0 games back of first place Detroit, but Boston carries a 47-24 record compared to the Knicks’ 48-25 record. Overall though when it comes to seeding, both teams are tied for the No.2 seed. Both New York and Boston will square off on April 9

Tuesday was a big signing day for former New York Jet quarterbacks, as three former Gang Greeners inked new contracts.

Rule 5 success stories are uncommon, especially with the high-pressure clubs which the New York Yankees fall perfectly into. Cade Winquest made the Yankees’ Opening Day roster and will get his first taste of the bigs. Winquest is 25-years-old and has been playing professional baseball since the 2023 season, but has never pitched higher than Double-AA ball. Originally drafted in 2022 out of college as the Cardinals’ eighth-round choice, Winquest would stay with St. Louis until

Tyler Kolek made a name for himself in the in-season tournament, which helped propel the New York Knicks to a championship. Since his impressive run, Kolek has balanced between the NBA Knicks and G-League Knicks. On Sunday, the 24-year-old had himself a 53 point day for the Knicks, marking one of the craziest stat lines we will see in the modern league. Sunday morning saw the 6-foot-2 standing guard post 42 points for the G-League Westchester Knicks. Sunday night would then h

Craig Kimbrel is far away from his former self when he dominated for Boston. Struggling in recent years, Kimbrel signed a minor league contract with the New York Mets this offseason. The veteran righty, whose 440 career saves rank second-most among active pitchers, came to New York knowing he had to show up in spring training to make the opening day 26-man roster. Kimbrel’s velocity is still down from his superstar days, but overall he seems satisfied with how he’s done.  “My

A dominant power play unit is something that the New York Islanders have lacked for nearly a decade. Over the past eight seasons, beginning with the 2018/19 team, has seen only the Ducks and Flyers post a worse man-advantage success rate than New York’s 17.2% mark. If the Islanders were to get a grade, it would be an F or at least a very borderline D-. As the season draws closer to the finish line and a narrow playoff race heats up, the Islanders rank 28th out of 32 teams in

Gerrit Cole is set to make his first game appearance since Tommy John surgery. On Wednesday, March 17th, Cole will take the mound and start against the Boston Red Sox as spring training continues to wrap up. Cole will pitch just the first inning, but his return does not mean he is quite ready to be back in New York’s starting five. The Yankees expect Cole can return to the rotation as soon as the start of June, which may be one of the most important storylines this season for

Since being drafted as a center out of Sweden, the towering 6-foot-7 Adam Edstrom has manned the wing since joining the Rangers organization.  Saturday night had that all change when New York was in Minnesota, with the Rangers switching up their lines and putting Edstrom in the middle for the first time in the NHL. The 25-year-old centered the fourth line for New York in what was a Rangers 4-2 win over the Wild. Rangers coach Mike Sullivan believed that it was Edstrom’s first

Optioning down Spencer Jones came as a surprise by pinstripe loyalists, as the expectation all fans, both casual and diehard had, was that Jones would be on New York’s opening day roster. Jones was drilling the balls literally out of the Steinbrenner Field into the parking lot. At the time of the roster move, Spencer Jones was hitting a .333 with half his hits being home runs upon the reassignment to minor league camp. Following Jones’ reassignment was another top Yankees pos

The Jets made more additions on Monday than they had wins all throughout the 2025/26 season. The team made six additions on the defensive side of the ball with five signings and a trade. Last season marked a historic low for the Jets, who went the entire season without an interception and only had four total defensive turnovers. Despite yesterday being a day of gains, it was also a loss with Quincy Williams, Nick Folk, John Simpson and Alijah Vera-Tucker all finding new homes

With the World Baseball Classic firing on all cylinders with pool play, it is partially thanks to West Haven that one particular coach gets to be at one of the biggest heights. Dave Righetti is 67-years-old and is serving as an assistant pitching coach for Team Italy in the WBC. Righetti took the Italian job due to his Italian heritage despite being born in San Jose, California. Righetti’s grandfather was from Liguria, Italy and emigrated in 1907. The WBC doesn’t require the

Kerry Wood may very well be one of the greatest New York Yankees relievers of all-time for hurlers who have pitched in 30 or less innings. Despite Wood’s short-term excellence, he is forgotten in the pinstripe world. Acquired on July 31st of 2010, by New York in a trade with Cleveland that saw Yanks’ Andrew Shive, Matt Cusick and cash go over to the Indians, would end up allowing Kerry Wood to pitch in the Bronx.  Wood, who was a 13-year vet at the time, immediately excelled

StarCom Racing was a true field filler team throughout its time in the NASCAR Cup Series, as it sported some of the slowest cars on the grid. Despite being uncompetitive, the team lasted from 2017 through to 2021, competing in 164 races. On September 25th, 2017, StarCom Fiber announced intentions to field a car in the Cup Series. The team would select veteran driver and co-owner Derrike Cope to drive the No. 00 Chevrolet. The team would make its debut race at Kansas for the 2

Why is it that for about a decade now at this point that the New York Yankees love getting former power hitters past their prime? Joey Gallo, Josh Donaldson and Jay Bruce are some solid examples to this argument. On Wednesday night, the New York Yankees signed 34-year-old Randal Grichuk to a minor league contract. Grichuk was a Yankee killer when with the Blue Jays, but his Canada days have been long gone. Overall, in 35 games at Yankee Stadium Grichuk carries a .278 average

With spring training getting in full swing I figured to highlight a former Yankee who was acquired before the preseason activities began and would be later bullied into retirement basically by Yankee fans. On February 13th, 2021, the New York Yankees signed the lefty-bat of Jay Bruce to a minor league deal. The 33-year-old Bruce would be 34 in the upcoming April, but at this point of his career he has shown to be on a career decline. The goal of adding Bruce was to add a left

On Thursday, Mike Senica announced that he plans on running in three NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series events in 2026. Senica, 59, last drove in the Truck Series along with any of the top three levels of NASCAR in 2018. Overall, he has 12 races to his name in the Truck Series with a best finish 21st in what was his series debut at Iowa in 2017 with Copp Motorsports. Since racing in the Truck Series, Senica has made starts in the Super Cup Series. The owner-driver plans to enter h

The New York Mets have signed right-hander Bryce Conley to a minor league deal.  The 31-year-old was originally drafted in 2017 by the Oakland Athletics in the 22nd round. Making it as far as Triple-AAA numerous times, Conley has appeared in 160 minor league games with 76 games being starts. Overall, the hurler has a 21-33 record and has pitched to the tune of a 4.53 ERA in 491 innings. The 31-year-old righty worked mainly as a starter last season, recording 118.2 innings bet
