New York City is the top media market in the entire country. That’s certainly reflected in the sports world with the city home to multiple franchises in almost every major league. While New York teams haven’t been the most success recently, they can certainly be considered that on a financial level. Madison Square Garden tenants New York Rangers and Knicks are two of the top earning teams in their respective leagues despite the two teams having a combined one championship

Breaking Down Boston Football & Baseball Ticket Prices
The city of Boston is known for its prominence in American history, distinguished outlets for higher education and, perhaps most importantly to many of its residents, its rich background in professional sports. Much like the city itself, both the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots have illustrious historical context. Following a World Series championship just one season ago, the Boston Red Sox have been a cornerstone in Major League Baseball since the team’s inception in 1901. With notable instances
PODCAST: More on possibility of LeBron James to Cleveland
The Cleveland Cavaliers have cleared the cap space to make a max offer to LeBron James by trading Jarrett Jack, Tyler Zeller and Sergei Karasev (along with a first-round draft pick) in a three-way deal with Boston and Brooklyn. So one major impediment is out of the way. But as we head into the final 12 hours of the NBA’s signing moratorium, there remains a lot of skepticism that James will return to his original NBA team. I covered that topic at length
Tweet of the Night: Brandon Jennings expresses his love for basketball
There have been plenty of speculation around the league about a number of important free agents in the past couple of weeks – most notably, of course, LeBron James. James still has yet to make a decision (although our Chris Sheridan reports of a probable return to Cleveland), and not much else looks to happen with anyone else until he does. While the big guns take the necessary time to mull their options, other NBA players around the league are enjoying their time off
SH Blog: Basketball world awaits Decision II
Fandom has to hurt for the joy to be most fulfilling — you have to care, you have to risk suffering — and LeBron James has now pushed all of South Florida and Northeast Ohio right to the edge of that cliff. Exactly four years after The Decision, the basketball world still awaits The Decision II. And with LeBron James finally set to meet face-to-face with Pat Riley and the Miami Heat on Wednesday in Las Vegas, we finally may be close to
PODCAST: LeBron James to the Cavs?
Lots of responses to my sourced story on there being a 90 percent chance that LeBron James signs with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Boggles my mind that people are shocked, given that LeBron is an unrestricted free agent. But people are shocked. That’s what makes July the best month in the NBA. Get a grip (sorry to steal your line, Pat Riley) by repeating to yourself this phrase: “LeBron James is an unrestricted free agent.” Here is more on LeBron-to-Cavs possibility, in interview with Spence Checketts
Tweet of the Day: NBA Players Tweet Through Brazil’s Epic World Cup Loss
Brazil entered Tuesday’s World Cup semifinal match against Germany facing extreme obstacles. Their captain, Thiago Silva was due to miss the match having accumulated two yellow cards, and star forward Neymar had suffered a fractured vertebra in their quarterfinal match against Colombia. Even with such losses, they were still expected to play well, perhaps carrying out the role of underdog to move on to the finals. The match was highly anticipated and was garnering a lot of media attention and hype.
May: LeBron to Cleveland Ain’t Gonna Happen
Can we please put an end to the LeBron-to-Cleveland story? That’s all it is, a story, an unlikely narrative that might be appealing on the surface – the Prodigal Son Returns – but falls apart under the narrowest scrutiny. I say it ain’t gonna happen. Why would the best player in the game, in the prime of his career, sign with a team that can’t win? Why would the best player in the game, in the prime of his career, sign with a
