Sean Avery, king of the ‘chirp,’ takes New York Islanders fans to the woodshed in Instagram video
If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times: if you’re not following Sean Avery on Instagram, you’re doing it all wrong. Am I blinded by my New York Rangers fandom in that statement? Of course I am! I realize that basically every other fan base, including fans of the three other teams he played for, hated or still hate his guts. Hell, there's probably a group of Ranger fans who hate him too. I get all that.
BUT, you can’t deny that the man is one of the NHL’s all-time great chirpers. A smack-talking god, if you will. Even in retirement, he polices the streets of New York like the little pest he always was, calling out pig parkers and cyclists with the same fervor he displayed in calling out whoever he wanted to call out on the ice.
On Friday, Avery was back on the 'gram and letting it rip, this time directing his ire not at some poor pizza delivery guy, but New York Islander fans, who you may have heard had a hell of a night on Thursday night at Nassau Coliseum. Coming..
New York man tries the old fake kidnapping trick to avoid Super Bowl gambling loss
Kids, don't gamble. But if you do, don't enter Super Bowl pools with people you don't know. One New York man ran a high-stakes one this year and he was recently found by police tied up in the back of his truck.

But don't feel bad for him, because it was all his own doing. That's right, some bozo named Robert Brandel tried the old fake kidnapping trick to avoid his gambling debts. Debts that had been racked up from a Super Bowl pool he ran. And a fraudulent one at that, according to Syracuse.com.
He was in the backseat with a rope tied around his neck, the other end tied to the head rest. Duct tape was wrapped around his hands and ankles. He then spun a bizarre tale for troopers, who began an abduction and robbery investigation.
Brandel told police that he picked up two men in his truck on Feb. 25 who had placed bets on a Super Bowl pool. The men brandished a pistol and stole $16,000 in cash he had won from the payout..
Former Golf Channel host Peter Kessler is a huge fan of Peter Kessler, less so of Jack Nicklaus
Former Golf Channel host Peter Kessler is back on camera. Not for Golf Channel, not for HBO, but rather as the self-appointed “Voice of Golf” on Twitter. And no one is safe from his takes. Not even the great Jack Nicklaus.
Kessler's latest rant attacks the 18-time major champ for his work as a golf course designer during a week in which golf fans will be reminded over and over (and over) of Nicklaus' work on PGA National. The course is hosting this week's Honda Classic on the PGA Tour and is known for a tough three-hole stretch (Nos. 15-17) that has been dubbed “The Bear Trap.” But Kessler calls it “The Bear Crap.” Burn!

Knicks legend Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier is now randomly talking about cereal on the broadcast
Rocky WidnerLast summer, during a particularly bad stretch of baseball by the New York Mets, we noted how miserable the SNY broadcast team sounded. Pitcher Steven Matz had just left a game with the latest random ailment to one of the franchise's best players (a common occurrence in Mets land), and play-by-play man Gary Cohen was officially at a loss for words.

It says a lot about the state of New York sports right now that the Knicks have reached a similar point this winter, and it's taking a toll on their broadcast team as well. Just before halftime of the Knicks' tilt with the also-tanking Cleveland Cavaliers, legendary Knick and color commentator Walt “Clyde” Frazier was going through his normal rhyming routine to describe whatever play had just happened. Then, he randomly asked play-by-play man Mike Breen what his favorite cereal was, which tells you all you need to know about that current state of the..
Islanders fans throw John Tavares the most brutal homecoming in sports history
Forget Damon, Favre, and even LeBron (the first time). When it comes to awkward sports homecomings, no one—and we mean NO ONE—got it like John Tavares got it on Thursday night. The former “chosen one,” as Matt Taub from East Meadow puts it in probably the most embarrassing fan video ever produced, was making his first visit to beautiful Nassau Coliseum since joining the Toronto Maple Leafs in the summer, and while the team itself did their best to thank Tavares for his service, the fans weren't feeling quite so hospitable. Needless to say, hell hath no fury like an Islander scorned (please stay out of my mentions, thanks), who rained the Plagues of Egypt down upon their former savior as he took the ice.
First came the tempest of verbal abuse.
