"Mike Lupica is being blamed for the cancellation of “The Sports Reporters” after the show’s run of nearly 30 years on ESPN. The Daily News columnist was a panelist for many years on the Sunday morning show, on which he and other print reporters such as the Boston Globe’s Bob Ryan and

She acts as if this is a traditional campaign against a traditional opponent. Run
around with your hand out in August, start to make your run in September. But Trump is not a traditional opponent. This is not a traditional campaign. You know what the headlines are about Clinton these days, when they're not about more trouble with her emails? They are about how much money she is raising in places like the Hamptons. You know the last person who thought he could beat Trump with a great, big war chest of money? Jeb Bush.

| May 18, 2016 | Mike Lupica
There is no politician in recent memory who seems more a product of her handlers than Hillary Clinton. But her handlers in 2008 did hardly anything for her, and now you wonder if the reinforcements she’s brought in this time are doing any better, or giving her better advice. Because
all she continues to do is serve this whole thing up for Donald Trump. The other day she said that she was going to ask Bill Clinton to help her with the economy. She did this in a political season when Trump has sold himself two ways, apart from walls...

The bloodbath has begun at the Daily News. Long-time columnist Mike Lupica is among those who are heading out the door, as owner Mort Zuckerman desperately swings his cost-cutting ax, The Post has learned. Lupica,
one of the highest-paid editorial employees on the staff of the troubled tabloid, was personally recruited in the mid-1990s by the 78-year-old owner after New York Newsday was shut down and the sports columnist was out of a job for a day.

Mike Lupica ought to stick to sports. When
he wanders into politics he says silly stuff, as on today's Morning Joe. With HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell being interviewed about Obamacare, Lupica unctuously wondered out loud: "how did something that was this noble an idea become something over time that the other party uses against this president constantly? And is there a way, over the last two years of his presidency, for him to throw some sort of Hail Mary pass and make this look like the triumph he thought it was going to be?" View the video here.
