The Greatest Escape in franchise history was perpetrated by Glen Sather, when the general manager extricated himself and the Rangers from the final five years of Scott Gomez’s contract by moving the $7,357,143-per-year center to Montreal on June 30, 2009 after two years in New York.

The Yankees publicly are on the same page: Hal Steinbrenner, like Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone before him, said that issues with the club’s fundamentals did not hover over the team all season.

The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.

There will be a little extra magic for Knicks-Spurs on Christmas Day.

The quickest way for the Giants to climb out of quarterback hell is also the quickest way to extend their stay there for at least three more years.

The Lakers’ decision to keep Bronny James away from G League road games has sparked some debate about the level of preferential treatment the franchise is giving to LeBron’s son.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Rangers continue to flex their strength on the road this season.

One of Tom Thibodeau’s stated points of emphasis for the Knicks this season — to increase their volume of 3-point attempts to take advantage of their proficiency from the outside — is starting to come to fruition.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — It’s the best-case scenario for Filip Chytil and the Rangers.

Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline. 

A look back at the best and worst moves by Jets general manager Joe Douglas, who was fired Tuesday: 

J.T. Miller will be out for the foreseeable future.

One of the most disappointing seasons in Jets history has now led to the team firing both its head coach and general manager.

CHICAGO — Former Chicago Bulls forward Bob Love, a three-time All-Star who spent 11 years in the NBA, died Monday. He was 81.

The Rangers are 11-4-1, fifth overall in the NHL with a .719 points percentage that equates to a 118-point season that would break the franchise record of 114 points established last season.

The Mets will receive official answers Tuesday from three free agents to which qualifying offers were extended.

The Jets social media team put out a video on Friday asking players to predict who would win the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight.

The Knicks accused the NBA of retaliatory “harassment” amid the league’s rumored investigation into Rick Brunson’s promotion to lead assistant.

Not only has Daniel Jones been benched, but he’s been sent to the bottom of the depth chart.

CALGARY, Alberta — Mike Reilly will undergo a procedure on Tuesday having to do with a heart issue that was uncovered during his recovery from a concussion, Isles general manager Lou Lamoriello said after the team practiced on Monday.

On a Clearwater, Fla., field in March, Aaron Boone looked around the visiting dugout as Luis Gil buzzed through a representative Phillies lineup.

For the most part, Karl-Anthony Towns has been as advertised.

Daniel Jones’ benching Monday all but guarantees that he won’t be the Giants quarterback in 2025.

Charlotte Hornets star guard LaMelo Ball apologized Sunday for the fine-inducing anti-gay comment he had made one day earlier.

The Jets lost for the seventh time in eight games Sunday, falling 28-27 to the Colts at MetLife Stadium. Here are some thoughts and observations from the game:

Another season died an unceremonious death for the Jets on Sunday, and with it a compelling argument that the ill-fated Aaron Rodgers Era should end without the New York legacy he came to establish.

So, if the Giants take a quarterback up high in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, does that provide a franchise reset of sorts? Does it recalibrate the urgency for general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll to right the ship and produce a winning season, after too much losing in 2023 and even more this season?

The Knicks had an easier time beating the Nets in the rematch.

The Nets couldn’t stop Karl-Anthony Towns. They couldn’t finish at the rim. And they couldn’t break their skid against the Knicks.

Brock Bowers did the “cool” Donald Trump dance to celebrate a touchdown and it led to claims of his media availability being cut short by the Raiders after being asked about it.

SEATTLE — The Kraken had been rolling in the deep — until they met the Blueshirts Blockade.

Mets owner Steve Cohen led a contingent of high-ranking club officials to meet with coveted free agent superstar Juan Soto on Saturday in Orange County, Calif., The Post has learned. 

The Jaguars might have needed to upset the Lions — without quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and going against the top team in the NFC — on Sunday to save the jobs of head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke.

The Jets have been number-crunching all week, still believing the team has a chance to salvage their season and make a playoff push. 

Karl-Anthony Towns was listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Nets at the Garden after the center missed Friday’s win with a left knee contusion. 

There is no indication — yet — that Juan Soto’s free agency will stretch deep into the offseason, as some major free agencies have done in the past.

Facing historically inaccurate quarterback Anthony Richardson might be just the medicine that a Jets defense with only two interceptions all season needs.

Whether Filip Chytil travels with the Rangers on their upcoming four-game road trip out west should give a pretty good indication of the severity of the Czech center’s injury.

Jordi Fernandez couldn’t complain about the Nets’ fight Friday night.

This is the moment when tomorrow does not matter, not to fans, anyway. The Yankees or the Mets or pick your team want Juan Soto signed now. Period. You will worry about 2030 and 2034 and 2038 when you are riding your hovercraft around then.

While pacing Delbarton School’s Regan Stadium, Nick Mangold cracked a smile. 

Knicks fans were mostly ecstatic. Nets fans were disappointed but understood.

A Mets contingent led by club owner Steve Cohen was due in Orange County, Calif., late this week — the exact day remained secret — to make their in-person appeal to their top priority, superstar hitter Juan Soto. Though the Mets surely would be viewed in past years as an abject long shot to win the Soto Sweepstakes — it’s big enough to be upgraded to sweepstakes from derby — insiders are giving them an honest-to-goodness chance now.

Until Juan Soto makes his free-agency decision, many of the brand-name MLB front offices will have a $700 million elephant in their budgets and a fraction of that in their 2025 payrolls. Soto knows this. His agent, Scott Boras, knows this, too.

Karl-Anthony Towns managed his highest scoring output of the season Wednesday night, but he remained on the court long after the Knicks’ last-second loss to the Bulls working on his game. 

Aaron Rodgers has done a lot in his decorated NFL career.

The game is played on a 200 feet by 85 feet surface of ice, but for Mika Zibanejad, the battle is contested almost entirely within his cerebrum.
