hall of fame

From 1985 to 2003, Buffalo Bills' legend Bruce Smith had opposing quarterbacks seeing ghosts. Now, he's honoring their memory in a hilarious way.

From members of New York sports teams, to residents of the Capital Region and beyond, here are 25 Hall of Fame nominees from the past 25 years with ties to NY.

With this year's Hall of Fame voting complete, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens can no longer be elected to Cooperstown, a decision that is a disgrace to baseball.

Much of America wakes up to see Michael Strahan's smile greeting them, as they ready for their work day on Good Morning America. Yes, football fans know him a little better, seeing him as part of the Fox Sports halftime team each Sunday. Strahan is a natural on television. He was also a natural on the football field. Sunday, the New York Giants franchise declared that he was so good, no player will ever where his iconic number 92 again.

There are too many memorable moments to count for The Captain, so here are ten of my favorite shots from his career.

Former NFL Head Coach and current NFL analyst for Fox, Jimmy Johnson is the central piece of one of my favorite moments from the 2019 - 2020 NFL season. The fact he had no effect in anything on field makes him a long shot for my favorite moments but the pure emotion in this clip is everything.

The Giants quarterback is heading to the bench

Last night New York Yankees' pitcher CC Sabathia joined the elite club of MLB pitchers with 3,000 strikeouts. There are only 17 pitchers all time in that club and CC is only the THIRD left handed pitcher to join. I for one think he was a Hall of Famer before last night but now there is no question CC is headed to Cooperstown.

A wrestling icon from a far removed era. Jake "The Snake" Roberts, he is coming to the Capital Region!
