Unlike the Giants, Jets giving fans hope for next season

It is always football season around here, the same way it’s always baseball season. And it feels that way more than ever these days, even in the spring, because of free agency and the upcoming draft. So, you better believe the Giants and Jets are very much in the conversation lately, one that can start here as well as anywhere else, whether the Giants like it or not: They’re no better than the Jets now. And they might turn out to be worse if a quarterback older than the East River and coming off a torn Achilles — Mr. Rodgers himself, now playing in our neighborhood — manages to stay healthy for the 2024-25 NFL season. Stay with the Giants for now. You know how much went wrong for them last season, starting with their opening drive of the season against the Cowboys, one that ended with a b...

Zach Wilson 16-game audition begins Sunday vs. Cowboys

We’ve all heard the expression, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” The first impression Zach Wilson made on Jets fans wasn’t a good one.

But unlike last year, Wilson regained his confidence ...

NFL Coach Shoots Off His Mouth, MLB Player Chooses Family Over Pennant

Greetings from the sports desk located somewhere below decks of the Good Pirate Ship RedState. Your intrepid reporter trio — yours truly, along with Sammy the Shark and Karl the Kraken — are pumped, primed, and sufficiently peeved at hyper-liberal sportswriters (please pardon the redundancy) to get the ball rolling the right way. For those keeping tabs on RedState’s favorite sea monsters, Sammy still refuses to trade his Erik Karlsson action figure to Sammy or Perry the Penguin whenever he stops by. We start with pro football by covering a story from a few days ago that still warrants examination.
