Sid Vicious: NYC tabs know that Sidney Crosby hates America

Yes, diver/whiner Sidney Crosby making the winning shot in overtime for Canada to beat the United States for the gold medal is the worst case scenario. The New York tabloids know this to be true. Look at him up there will the poster boy for birth control expression on his face. Ugh. You couldn't have made one more save Ryan Miller?

I wonder how many Yinzers were rooting for Canada yesterday.

Zach Parise though, is an American hero.

I am a Pens fan so I know why you do not like Crosby. That is o.k., I despise Ovechkin.

As a Pens fan, I was happy that it was Crosby instead of someone else on Canada's team. However, I was strongly (strongly) rooting for the U.S. Having grown up in Pittsburgh, I would be shocked if many (any?) people were rooting for Canada. Like me, glad it was Crosby, sorry the U.S. did not win.

NJ Nets: Biggest losers on two tabloid backpages, NBA

The New Jersey Nets lost their 18th game in a row to start the 2009-2010 NBA season. The ignominious distinction is observed by the backpages of both New York City tabloids today.

I like to think this is happening because the Nets took "NEW JERSEY" off of the road uniforms. Their owner, Bruce Ratner, has been trying to move them to Brooklyn for years and seems to be getting closer. I'd rather they stay in the Garden State and move into the Prudential Center in Newark where the NHL Devils play.

I wonder if the new BS Sports Blog will comment on this development.

Speaking of the NBA, the Washington Wizards have won 4 of 5 (The Post). Where can I get my Earl Boykins jersey?

27TH HEAVEN: NY tabloids celebrate Yankees win with same cover headline

Not surpsingly, editors at both New York City tabloids were thinking the same thing late last night. While the headline seems a little corny, I'm not complaining about it.

They were thinking the same thing on Long Island too.


UPDATE: ESPN did it too:


Apparently deadpsin noticed this stuff too -- If this anyone other tan Steve Allen, you're stealing my bit.

Yankees clinch playoffs, matching backpage tabloid headlines

It seems like it has been forever since the two New York City tabloids had headlines on the cover that matched. Today, the morning after the Yankees clinched their 14th playoff berth in 15 seasons we see the same headline. Why did the news need to add quotes around "in" though?

The Bronx Beltway is a stupid nickname for new Yankee Stadium

Huh? Why in the world would anyone give the new Yankee Stadium the nickname "the Bronx Beltway?" How does that make sense?

Let's just let a nickname come about organically rather than rush to come up with something. *bronx cheer*

Favre to Jets means 3 tabloids use same bad pun

I really hoped I would not have to post anything about Brett Favre, but he got traded to the Jets, so I knew tabloids would all pretty much look the same today. The little twist is that the NY Post made "JET FAVRE" the top headline, but had a bigger focus on the anthrax story.



Oh why did he have to go to New York? The nightmare of Favre coverage may just be getting started.

Prediction -- Favre will have a season ending injury before October, rendering the whole ordeal pointless.

I must agree. That is a terrible headline. It's not even funny. I would have preferred "Get yer cheese-cake ready."

Just tabloids being tabloids

Is it just me or is it unbecoming of New York tabloids to devote the backpage to a Boston player getting traded?

Seeing double, almost triple on NY tabs backpages

The Mets' ten wins in a row have vaulted them into first place. Even with that, I think the "First & 10" headline is not terribly strong and is kind of forced. It did not stop with the two city tabloids' back pages either.



Newsday, Long Island's paper of record, went with the identical sounding "First & Ten" headline, but used a different photograph than the other two.

The Ombudsman can't be too happy to see his Phillies in second place.

Same headline, photo on NYC backpages

The Mets' Carlos Beltran's 13th inning walk-off inspired the two NYC tabloids to use the same photo and same headline again.

Friday tabs made the same New York Climbs pun

Both tabloids had the same idea for the cover -- New York Climbs in a gothic typeface similar to the old gray lady's flag (not masthead, as it is mistakenly called). I appreciate the Daily News one more because it included the definite article.

Apparently, designers of the relatively new New York Times building had not considered how easy it would be to climb the 52-story skyscraper (The Times) at 8th and 41st. Two climbers, one a stuntman from France and the other from Brooklyn, both did it on the same day.

Tabloids have same take on Subway Series

The Yankees are in the odd position of last place (it is a rebuilding year, though no one told Hank Steinbrenner) right now and the Mets are not as good as they were supposed to be this season. That has the two city tabloids thinking the same thing as the regular season Subway Series resumes tonight.

The Bronx Bombers won't be in last place for long and may make the playoffs yet. The Mets on the other hand, have third place written all over them.

Tabs use the same headline in slightly different ways

I had expected at least one of the tabloids would have gone with "WE WIN." The Daily News cover shown was a wrap-around; there were two regular covers today too. The NY Post's back cover is shown.

The right team won and restored order to the New York vs. Boston rivalry; take note Yankees. It has been fun being on the Giants bandwagon.

Nobody outside of the Northeast cares?

I've overheard or read that nobody outside of the Northeast is going to care about this Super Bowl. Riiiight. Like nobody outside of Illinois and Indiana cared about last year's Super Bowl. It is the Super Bowl, people care. Either way, about 40 million people live within the "footprint" of those two teams. That is something like 13% of the entire U.S. population. Throw in expatriates (no pun intended) and there are probably at least 50 million people who live, lived or are only a generation away from living in the Northeast. I expect higher ratings for this year's game.

By the way, memo to the NY Post -- calling the Giants "America's team" is silly, even if it is sort of true for a day.


If I were Bill Belichek, I'd put that tabloid in every player's locker this week.

Same idea, but on opposite pages

Both tabloids think Isiah Thomas is a turkey, but expressed it on different sides of the paper yesterday. Unfortunately, the Daily News didn't post a larger version of the cover though.

While I don't care about the Knickerbockers, I'm amazed the Thomas hasn't been terminated yet.
