WFAN host, Mets fans lose minds over ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl first pitch
Mets fans are upset over the team’s decision to have Haley Welch (aka “Hawk Tua” Girl) throw the first pitch before Thursday’s heartbreaking 7-6 loss to the Athletics. Welch made headlines earlier this year when the 22-year-old from Tennessee depicted some fairly explicit sexual acts. Harry Welch will throw the ceremonial first pitch before the […]
Aaron Rodgers addresses ‘horrible’ interview in WFAN return
It may not have been a flight into darkness, but Aaron Rodgers and WFAN’s Greg Giannotti neatly cleared their hands Tuesday morning from last year’s “most awkward, worst” interview.

Brian Cashman pressed on Yankees’ ‘urgency’ in WFAN interview
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman received a stern rebuke from WFAN’s Brandon Tierney on Wednesday over the team’s quiet Tuesday MLB trade deadline.

Davis Wells’ WFAN interview gets a little heated: ‘Yes man
David Wells has never been one to hold back, but he certainly didn’t hold back while on the air at WFAN.

WFAN pairing Suzyn Waldman, Craig Carton is betrayal to Yankees fans
Nearly 60 years ago, Mad magazine, a satirically inclined children’s publication before it was elevated to National Lampoon, invented a game called “43 Man Squamish.” Mad included a diagram of plays showing 43 players running in 43 different directions, a comical absurdity that likely inspired the StatCast graphics that networks buy and present in earnest […]

WFAN host Sal Licata hates Grimace getting credit for Mets’ rise
Sal Licata may be said to be a Hamburglar, since he takes the honor away from Grimas.

The Mets are undefeated since Grimus, who is […]
