SERMON ON THE MOUND Steven Matz told me it’s been profound spirituality that got him through the highs and lows of his career — from pitching in the World Series as a Mets rookie to injuries and lighter relief roles that followed — as he returns to the Fall Classic.

Let’s go Tommy!!!!!!
Cancer survivor and @NYIslanders fan Tommy Ryan credits watching the team with helping him push through a rare leukemia diagnosis and 150 days in the hospital. Today, his favorite player @Barzal_97 surprised him live on air—and shared how Tommy's strength continues to inspire him during his own recovery.

If you read just one inspirational story involving the #Isles today, let it be Alex’s beautiful piece about Tommy Ryan and the team.

This is a truly heartwarming story, and knowing Jon Ledecky and others in the Islanders organization, not surprising at all. It speaks to the power that sports teams have to reach into their communities to enrich (and even save) a life through nothing much more than basic kindness and integration with their fan base. I’ve seen this during my time with the Mets and Rangers as well, and I’m sure that all of our local teams are similarly invested. It’s just reassuring to read a “nice” story every once in a while. Congratulations on your recovery, Tommy. Stay strong. nypost.com/2026/10/12/sports…

The 30 & under crowd such as myself weren’t introduced to Mike Ditka because of the ‘85 Bears, but instead his unforgettably hilarious role as an assistant youth soccer coach in Kicking & Screaming. He helped tons of kids who watched the movie, like me, fall in love with sports.

"I think we’d love to see that,” #Isles business ops boss Kelly Cheeseman told me. Belmont brass are also eyeing major music & food festivals on the campus, as the village shops hit the home stretch. UBS Arena has some cool new additions — the golf simulator is my favorite.

When I told @WillChiarucci a little bit about Dominick, he had one thing to say: “Islanders by a million.”
