Chris Paul reprimanded J.J. Redick near the Clippers bench in the first quarter of Sunday’s Game 7. The shooting guard had failed to rush over to help out Paul, who had given up his dribble after being trapped by Utah’s swarming double-team. Two hours later, the Clippers left the Staples Center court, their season over,...
Apparently, Aaron Judge is human, after all. The slugging right fielder reached base four times in the Yankees’ 7-4, 11-inning loss to the Orioles on Sunday, but he struck out with the bases loaded to end the 10th. Still, he managed to reach base in eight straight plate appearances over Saturday and Sunday and went...
The $20 billion toy industry is getting drunk on movies. With a record 30 kids’ flicks coming out this year, all with toy tie-ins, retailers and manufacturers are betting big — maybe too big, some say — on Hollywood to ring up sales. With each blockbuster, a wave of gizmos and plush toys hit store...
The message from Alain Vigneault was twofold: 1) He’s pretty happy with the way the Rangers have played, despite being down 2-0 in their best-of-seven second-round series with the Senators; 2) He’s got nothing against the younger players, and the minutes he allots are based more on individual performance in that game rather than the...
They met on the sandlots of Brooklyn in 1966. One was 9 years old, the other 7. They snuck into Aqueduct and Belmont Park, but mostly cherished the Mets, Knicks and Rangers. This Williamsburg friendship has lasted 51 years. Two years ago, they joined forces in the horse racing business and now their stable called...
“This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.” President Trump made it through his first 100 days and we survived the month of April. Six months to go for Stitches, about 1,360 days for The Donald. Turned the double play Sunday. Houston’s Dallas Keuchel became the first pitcher...
The former head of the NYPD’s scandal-plagued gun license division has quietly put in his retirement papers — taking a lucrative blue parachute out of the beleaguered department. Deputy Inspector Mike Endall, 49, ran the allegedly corrupt License Division until last April, when he was transferred to a full-pay desk job “pending further review,” officials...
Kelly Ripa could finally be getting her co-host.
Every detail was designed to mark Hillary Clinton’s moment in history — from the glass ceiling at Manhattan’s Javits Center, where her supporters were gathered, to her and hubby Bill’s suite at The Peninsula hotel, selected so she could personally see Trump Tower, home to the foe she was set to crush. Then came the...
President Trump’s tax plan would wallop New Yorkers and the middle class while benefiting the wealthiest, Sen. Charles Schumer said on Sunday. “The reviews are in, from economists to experts . . . and what they’re saying is, this plan is not good for New York, Long Island, or middle-class people in the rest of...
Congressional negotiators from both major parties reached an agreement Sunday night on a massive spending bill that, if approved, would give the government more than $1 trillion in funding and keep day-to-day operations going until the end of September. The hard-won deal could be the first major piece of bipartisan legislation to be pushed through...
A cadre of left-wing CUNY professors plans to throw out Monday’s lesson plans and spend the day bashing President Trump. The leaders of CUNY’s education-workers union have declared a “May Day Moratorium” at the city’s taxpayer-funded university system in conjunction with the annual day of socialist protest. A letter from the head of CUNY’s Professional...
As Dellin Betances struck out the side to end the top of the eighth inning, a thought raced across the mind of Joe Girardi. Bring Bryan Mitchell into the game for the ninth, tie it up in the bottom half and then have Mitchell move to first base — a position he hadn’t played since...
Ed Orgeron was worried. This was back in December, and the LSU coach was getting his team ready to play in the Citrus Bowl against Heisman Trophy-winning Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson. The kickoff was at 11 a.m. “The LSU Tigers normally don’t play well at 11,” Orgeron said. “I wanted to make sure I changed...
The former Virginia governor whose conviction for taking $177,000 from a wealthy businessman was overturned by the Supreme Court said he didn’t see a problem when his wife gave him a pricey Rolex watch. “My wife gave it to me for Christmas in 2012. With all my heart I believed it was from her. She...
WASHINGTON — Watching Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on stage at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday night was like a Simon and Garfunkel reunion. Few in the room could recall a joint public appearance by the famous Washington Post reporters — who uncovered the Watergate scandal that brought down a president. Famously...
The media horde approached Brett Gardner’s locker Sunday afternoon, and then the Yankees’ current leader in service time uncharacteristically turned around and walked toward a restricted area, abandoning his inquisitors. That lasted about a half-second; Gardner spun back and smiled. “Just kidding,” he said. You know you occupy a tranquil universe when you can clown...
It was bad enough that Julie was stuck on the train traveling from New Jersey to Penn Station during the morning of the April 3 train derailment, but when she broke the news to her coworkers via Slack, the group-communication app her team was using, her boss responded with two emoji. “One was a pile...
Both sides were plainly happier with President Trump not attending this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Dare we hope it will signal the beginning of the end of the insufferable smugness of the Washington press corps? Trump was off in Pennsylvania, rallying with his base. That left the media elite safe to revel in their...
If New York doesn’t want to see its zoning laws become a death sentence on new development, the City Council needs to stomp on the effort to rewrite the rules to stop a building planned for Sutton Place. The street is one of New York City’s wealthiest, and the well-connected are using their influence to...
Will the Legislature stand up to Gov. Cuomo in the wake of the Buffalo Billion scandals? His onetime right-hand man and other ex-intimates face federal corruption scandals, but the governor still doesn’t want officials he can’t control reviewing the kind of contracts at the heart of the scam. A measure to restore oversight powers to...
I will never forget President George W. Bush’s stirring address to Congress following the 9/11 attacks, explaining why the United States was going to take military action against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan: “From this day forward,” he announced, “any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States...
New York’s City Council, long known as a rabid right-wing body, is pressuring Mayor de Blasio to cut a tax. No, really: The council is almost entirely Democratic. But the city’s pragmatic Democrats realize that New York’s tax burden is hurting small businesses. They want the mayor to put aside his own ideology and help...
When Kylie Jenner displayed cornrows in her hair, “Hunger Games” star Amandla Stenberg criticized her in a tweet.
From the Right: The GOPers Who Fear O’Care Repeal House Speaker Paul Ryan insists he’ll have enough votes to pass an ObamaCare repeal bill, but Byron York at the Washington Examiner asks why this is even in question, given the comfortable Republican majority. The answer: “Because a lot of Republicans do not want to repeal...
