14 — The Brooklyn Nets are being led by 27-year-old Michael Porter Jr, who is currently ranked 14th in NBA scoring averaging 25.9 ppg. His previous high was 19.0 ppg back in 2020-21 with the Denver Nuggets.

13 — The New York Jets secured the second-overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft by finishing their season at 3-14. This marks the 13th draft since the turn of the century that they will have at least one selection in the Top 10. 

8 — The New Jersey Devils have 8 players scheduled to participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Rome. Jesper Bratt (Sweden), Nico Hischier (Switzerland), Jack Hughes (USA), Jacob Markstrom (Sweden), Timo Meier (Switzerland), Simon Nemec (Slovakia), Ondrej Palat (Czechia), and Jonas Siegenthaler (Switzerland). 

5 — The New York Mets have 5 players who have announced their intentions to play in the 2026 World Baseball Classic — Clay Holmes (USA), Francisco Lindor (Puerto Rico), Nolan McLean (USA), Juan Soto (Dominican Republic), and Mark Vientos (Nicaragua)

4 — The New York Knicks current 4 game losing streak is their longest since they dropped four-in-a-row from February 8, 2024, through February 14, 2024.

3 — The New York Giants have lined up 3 head coaching job interviews with Lou Anarumo, Vance Joseph, and Kevin Stefanski. Now that John Harbaugh has been let go by the Baltimore Ravens, we expect that number to grow to at least four.

3 — The New York Yankees have 3 players confirmed to participate in the 2026 World Baseball Classic — David Bednar (USA), Jose Caballero (Panama), and Aaron Judge (USA). Judge will serve as Team USA’s captain. 

2 — The New York Liberty have only 2 players signed for the 2026 season — Leonie Fiebich and Nyara Sabally. Of course, all league business is on-hold while the WNBA negotiates a new collective bargaining agreement with the players. 

1 The New York Islanders have only 1 player slotted to participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Rome. Bo Horvat (Canada) will be the sole representative after the highly publicized snub of 18-year-old Matthew Schaefer
