After going head-to-head for Juan Soto, the Yankees and Mets battled for Roki Sasaki on the very same day. 

Andrew Thomas’ right foot is in a boot, but neither foot is out the door.

NEW ORLEANS — There were already a few low moments for Mikal Bridges in his Knicks career.

This may be hard to believe, given that he’s become the crown prince of New York basketball in almost every way, but it wasn’t even like this for Jalen Brunson. Two-plus years into his tenure as the face of the Knicks, we tend to simply believe that modern Knicks history can be divided into two parts: 

TORONTO — The Nets won the game.

DALLAS, Texas — There were smiles and honest conversations among the Rangers on Thursday afternoon at the Stars’ practice rink in Farmers Branch. 

Cody Bellinger’s return to The Bronx will turn back the clock. In 2000 and 2001, he was one of those kids running around the field after World Series games, when his father’s Yankees were beating the Mets and losing to the Diamondbacks.

MINNEAPOLIS — It was a winter wonderland lovefest for Karl-Anthony Towns. 

There was a movie back in 1963 called “It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.”

No one knows. 

MINNEAPOLIS — Don’t let his brevity or dismissive answers fool you. It’s personal for Julius Randle against the Knicks on Thursday night.

Amid an offseason that has not been ideal, the Yankees found an ideal target. 

Round and round she goes. Where she stops … 

Aaron Rodgers wasn’t the savior of the Jets, and now he has been forced to ponder saving himself and whatever remains of his Hall of Fame career. 

The fog on the glass belonged to 9-year-old Alice Commans. 

Even after a flurry of activity over the past week, the Yankees roster has plenty of question marks, perhaps the biggest at first base — if Cody Bellinger doesn’t end up there — and second base — if Jazz Chisholm Jr. doesn’t get shifted from third. 

Donte DiVincenzo already has been back once to the Garden, jawing with the Knicks bench and needing to be separated from assistant coach Rick Brunson at the conclusion of a preseason game in October.

Sunday’s game in his native Ohio was “surreal” for star Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Since the Rangers’ conference final Game 6 elimination in Sunrise on June 1, general manager Chris Drury:

If you were brave enough to watch the Jets play the Jaguars on Sunday and you had the stomach to make it to the end of the game, you may have noticed something different about the game.

The Knicks’ pending visit to Minnesota obviously marks the return of Karl-Anthony Towns to Target Center, but it also will be the first time Julius Randle faces his former team following the blockbuster September trade with the Timberwolves. 

RALEIGH, N.C. — The Islanders’ belief that they can turn the season around is running into the hard reality of what it looks like when they get out onto the ice.

The last time Clay Holmes started a major league game came at the end of the 2018 season, his rookie year with the Pirates. 

Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s rollercoaster career with the Chiefs is over.

It was the character of Bobby Axelrod on the television series “Billions” who popularized the term. As that character was loosely based on Mets owner Steve Cohen, it has helped define his approach to running the Mets.

Dick Van Arsdale, a former second-round pick of the Knicks who later became known as the “Original Sun,” has died, the Suns announced Monday on social media.

As the losses have piled up like dried Christmas trees on Manhattan sidewalks after the holidays, the growing sentiment as Jets season has spiraled down the circular drain to a 14th consecutive season without a playoff berth is that Aaron Rodgers is a goner.

Daily double alert regarding the Rangers who, after losing to the then-32nd and last-overall Blackhawks at the Garden on Dec. 9, have the opportunity to lose to the current-32nd and last-overall Predators in Nashville on Tuesday.

Other free agent pitchers will get much bigger contracts this offseason, but none come with the intrigue of Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki.

ORLANDO — NBA seasons are like dog years.

Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll came in together, both on five-year contracts. This does not mean they must or will go out together.

Aaron Rodgers relived the experience of watching the Packers draft his successor.

The Chiefs might be without Patrick Mahomes when they play the Texans on Saturday.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Knicks, under Tom Thibodeau and Leon Rose, have followed the same pattern.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jets snapped their four-game losing streak Sunday with a 32-25 victory over the Jaguars. Here are some thoughts and observations from the game:

ORLANDO, Fla. — Iron Man Mikal Bridges made his 500th consecutive appearance in Sunday’s 100-91 victory over the Magic, a streak that started from his first rookie game with the Suns.

Brooklyn’s trading Dennis Schroder was strictly business.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jets already had five blown fourth-quarter leads this season, as good a reason as any that they entered Sunday’s game against the Jaguars with a 3-10 record and weeks removed from any thoughts of a playoff berth.

ST. LOUIS — The Rangers’ plummet continued Sunday night with a 3-2 loss to the Blues at Enterprise Center after yet another last-ditch effort to salvage a game in the third period was unsuccessful.

The Mets’ Juan Soto celebration on Thursday went beyond Citi Field.

ORLANDO — Tom Thibodeau, a longtime admirer and friend of Bill Belichick, called him “the all-time greatest coach” while lauding the move to UNC and name-dropping a former ESPN insider. 

The 49ers are done with linebacker De’Vondre Campbell, but they aren’t expected to simply cut him after he refused to go into Thursday night’s loss to the Rams.

Let the interviews begin.

Imagine the size of the napkin that Bill Belichick would have needed to pen an apology letter to the Jets.

There is no defense. 

Maybe there is something to make out of Juan Soto not talking to any 2024 Yankees teammates during his free agency. But he also noted that he had zero conversations with Mets players.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jets right tackle Morgan Moses has played through knee and shoulder injuries, and now he is going to add wrist to that list. 

Isaiah Hartenstein claims he wouldn’t have allowed Trae Young to celebrate all over the Knicks logo at the Garden in the Hawks’ NBA cup quarterfinal win Wednesday. 

Shedeur Sanders threw the first few of what might become hundreds of passes to Malik Nabers.
