Mike Mazzeo

Lead Writer

Mike Mazzeo is the Lead Writer for PlayNY, arriving after covering several of New York’s professional sports teams in a variety of roles for the past decade. 

Previously, he served as a beat writer and columnist covering the Brooklyn Nets (ESPN) and New York Yankees (New York Daily News). Mike also covered both the MLB and NBA nationally for Yahoo Sports. In addition, he served as a general assignment reporter for ESPN NewYork.com. 

He has also had bylines in the New York Times, New York Post, Newsday, Forbes and The Ringer. 

With PlayNY, Mike brings extensive coverage and unique story angles to what is projected to be one of the biggest and most lucrative online sports betting markets in the country. It’s been an arduous and confounding process to get here, but 20 million New Yorkers (many of them die-hards) are now legally able to bet on their favorite sports teams across the state via online and mobile platforms.
