Now that the Stephon Marbury era has ended, will it bug you to see him in Celtic green? Do you think his very presence can bring down a champion? Or do you think he will help Boston repeat?

I have to toot my own horn here. I was one of the few who predicted the Knicks [...]

Man, do we need some baseball. Not ‘Roids and HGH and all. We need some actual baseball. Because there’s nothing happening around here. Hockey? Have you tried to watch the Rangers lately? Hoops? Yes, the Knicks are better than they’ve been, but that bar’s so low that “better” is still pretty bad. Football? Uh, sorry, [...]

I’m not. Honestly. I wasn’t shocked at all.

I just remember Alex Rodriguez looking a lot like Derek Jeter when he was in Seattle, and then like Tiger Woods when he was in Texas and then like Mark Bavaro as a Yankee.

I remember that he had a big greet-and-meet (if memory serves, it was on a [...]

More like Nightmare Week. Or Horror Week.

Tonight it’s the World Champion Celtics, and the good news is nobody from Boston likely to get more than 40 points in the Knicks’ third straight marquee loss. This one will probably be the most lop-sided because the opponent won’t have one guy trying to show off.

I think this [...]

As much as anybody on the continent, probably more than most, I hate the two-week layoff between the conference championships and the Super Bowl. My gosh, I am so darn sick of hearing about Kurt Warner’s religion and Big Ben and Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald and his father. I am sick of all these [...]

I was watching the MLB Network for a while after the Rangers game last night, and they were showing some of Ken Burns’ documentary—which is obviously going to be a major staple for the fledgling network. It was a lengthy show about Babe Ruth and his contribution to the game of baseball as the person [...]

OK, maybe saying he lost his trust for Brian Cashman was going a bit far. But otherwise, which of the excerpts of Joe Torre’s book that have become public so far do you think were so wrong?

That Alex Rodriguez is a diva? Duh. I don’t pretend to be so cool to know what a “Single [...]

It’s been quite a week for birds, huh? There was that flock that took down a plane on Thursday, and we will have Ravens, Cardinals and Eagles in the NFL’s conference championships this weekend.

The thing on my mind lately is that late in the season, after Donovan McNabb was benched by Andy Reid, the immediate [...]

Omar Minaya fixed Problem No. 1 at the Winter Meetings in Vegas.

But … other than a vastly improved bullpen, how much different are these Mets, especially now that Derek Lowe has landed in Atlanta? Before we go any further, may I say that four years and $60 million is way, way too much for a [...]

So Jim Rice finally got a call to the Hall, well deserved in my opinion. And we all knew that Rickey Henderson was going in on the first ballot—the greatest leadoff hitter I’ve ever seen, and perhaps to ever play the game.

I do have some questions for those 28 members of the Baseball Writers Association [...]
