This will probably put Eli Manning's panties in a bunch.

It was announced today that Derek Jeter will be appearing in an ad for Gillette's new battery powered razor that has 18 blades (just kidding), the Fusion Power razor.

Gillette's corporate headquarters are located in none other than South Boston Massachusetts, and their namesake is attached to the home of the three-time Super Bowl... » more

If you know someone between the ages of 6-18 who's looking for something to do now that school's out, the New York Junior Tennis League wants to give them free tennis lessons starting today.

You don't even need a racket--just show up at any of nearly 50 locations in all five boroughs, pretty much anytime during the day this week (or next week, or the next....)

And yup, current world... » more

Jason Kidd, as he often does, backpedaled on defense, anticipated his opponent’s next move, and swooped in to intercept a pass in his own half. The Mavericks point guard then pushed the ball up the sideline to lead his team’s fast break.

Out of the corner of his left eye, he spotted a teammate streaking forward and, as always, delivered to him a pass with pinpoint accuracy. The... » more

The Mets came in one game under .500 at the 81-game, halfway point of their season. Despite yesterday’s encouraging win, the team must still be considered unstable and enigmatic. And while the Mets’ playoff hopes are not yet extinguished, taking the Subway Series from the Yankees 4 games to 2 is likely to be one of only a few highlights from a rocky 2008.

Hi, I'm Tim. You probably don't know who I am, but I'm a lifelong Knicks fan, and I'm happy you're here.

First of all, welcome to New York. Anyone other than Isiah Thomas would have been a godsend, but you bring a winning attitude and a wealth of basketball knowledge with you into this job.

It will not be an easy one. If the roster remains as it is, you will have to deal with Stephon... » more

New Mets manager Jerry Manuel has had more than his share of questionable comments in his short tenure so far. Below are some notable ones:

“It’s very, very fertile ground for growth in Shea Stadium…Sometimes, fertile ground has fertilizer.”

–Remarks about Mets fans that have booed reliever Aaron Heilman at Shea this year

Quick fix: “Fertilizer is... » more

Team Outlook: The Nets finished 34-48 last season, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2001 -- the year before Jason Kidd arrived and turned the franchise around.

Point guard Devin Harris, one of the many players traded for Kidd in February, has become abuilding blocks for the Nets next season and beyond. At age 25, Harris averaged 15.4 points, 6.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 25... » more

So now there's a real possibility that the "Mike and the Mad Dog" show is kaput we thought we'd trot out this video of someone doing a spot-on impersonation of an actual Dog tirade. The screaming starts about five minutes in.

Even the most casual Yankee fan will know that the last name of the Yankees injured ace Chien-Ming Wang rhymes with "wrong."

Then why do some of his teammates like Jason Giambi and Mike Mussina pronounce it as it rhymes with "hang"? This is particularly strange with Mussina since he's widely considered one of the smartest players in the game, graduating from Stanford in 3 1/2 years and obsessively... » more
