New York Sports Fans Think The Yankees, Mets Are 'Cursed'
The Yankees and the Mets both entered the 2025 Major League Baseball season with high expectations. The Yankees were coming off a World Series appearance, losing to the Dodgers. The Mets, meanwhile, made the playoffs last year and signed Juan Soto to a record-setting $700 million contract in free agency.
While both the Yankees and the Mets started the year in good fashion, things have not been going well as of late.
It's gotten so bad that fans of the Yankees and the Mets are convinced that their respective teams might be "cursed" in 2025. Seriously - that's what's happening in New York right now.
So far, in August, here's how the Yankees and the Mets have done:
Yankees are 2-7
Mets are 1-8
Things haven't been going well since July 1, either. Both the Yankees and the Mets are losing teams over the past month-plus. Here's how they've stacked up since July 1:
Yankees are 14-20
Mets are 15-18
Fans of the Yankees and the Mets are joking that they might be "cursed" teams right now.
"If the two New York baseball teams just forfeited the rest of their seasons, would either fanbase care at this point?" one fan wrote.
"I'm already checked out," one fan added.
"Yankees are cursed, right?" one fan added.
"The Mets might be cursed," another fan suggested.
The Major League Baseball season is a long one and everyone is going to go through a rough stretch or two over the course of 162 games. However, by mid-August, heading into the final month of the season, you want to be playing your best baseball.
And the Mets and the Yankees are not doing that.

Is Packers QB Jordan Love in danger of missing Week 2 game vs. Commanders?
Could the Washington Commanders be facing a backup quarterback for their Week 2 showdown against the Green Bay Packers? In Green Bay's preseason opener against the New York Jets, quarterback Jordan Love tried to escape the pocket, and his left hand made contact with a New York defender's helmet, leading to a "ligament issue," per Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst. Love did undergo a procedure, and Gutekunst believes not only will Love be ready for Green Bay's Week 1 contest against the defending NFC North champion Detroit Lions, but that he'd return to practice next week. "Obviously, you guys saw him out there, he certainly was able to function," Gutekunst said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN. "But as we looked at all the options and he did as well, the best option I think for him to get back the fastest and feel the best was to do this. He wanted to go out there yesterday to kind of see how it felt, and once we got through that, we made the decision." That's good news for the Packers, who have a tough slate to begin the season. Green Bay hosts Detroit in Week 1, and hosts the Commanders in Week 2 on Amazon Prime. The most encouraging part of this for the Packers is that Love's left non-throwing hand is involved. However, for a quarterback, the opposite hand is important, too. An injury to the non-throwing hand could impact Love's ability to receive the snap under center. The Packers believe that with Love undergoing the procedure, there will be no issues for Week 1, much less for Week 2. The Commanders were 12-5 last season and open the 2025 season against the New York Giants in Week 1. This will be Love's first meeting as a starting quarterback against Washington. It's also Jayden Daniels' first game against the Packers. This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: Could Packers' injury impact their Week 2 vs. Commanders?

NBA clears Boston Celtics' $6.1 billion sale to Bill Chisholm
A group headed by Bill Chisholm is set to take control of the Boston Celtics after the NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved the sale on Wednesday. The NBA wrote in a statement, 'The transaction is expected to close shortly.' The reported $6.1 billion valuation for the club makes it the second-largest sale price for a US sports franchise, behind the $10 billion valuation for the Los Angeles Lakers when Mark Walter purchased that team in June. Chisholm and his partners are buying at least 51 percent of the Celtics. The ownership stake will increase in 2028, according to the purchase contract, when Chisholm's group is scheduled to buy out the remaining minority shareholders at a $7.3 billion valuation. According to multiple media reports, Chisholm will take over as the Celtics' governor when the sale goes through. Outgoing owner Wyc Grousbeck is expected to serve as alternate governor and remain the CEO through 2028. Grousbeck will cede his role when he no longer has the required ownership stake of at least 15 percent. Chisholm, the co-founder and managing partner of the California-based private equity firm STG Partners, is a Massachusetts native and longtime Celtics fan. Grousbeck and the outgoing ownership group Boston Basketball Partners LLC purchased the Celtics for $360 million in 2002. During that group's tenure, the club won NBA titles in 2007-08 and 2023-24 – the latter representing Boston's league-record 18th championship.
