Another #Jay Horwitz at #FDU tale. FDU played at Georgia Southern. Pre-game host asked: “Jay, what's the origin of the school name?” Jay joked: “You know the actress Angie Dickinson? Fairleigh Dickinson was her husband. The school is named for him.” FDU officials were not amused.

A #FDU story. In '78 FDU played at Kansas. Legendary #Mets PR guy Jay Horwitz, then at FDU, was pre-game guest. Host: “Jay, for all our Jayhawk fans, where is TEE-neck, New Jersey?” Jay: “It's east of Whippany & south of Ho-Ho-Kus. Hope that clears it up.” Dead silence followed.

@AlbaneseLaura @BrianCoz And it has been 1,198 days since I retired. But who's counting?

Nearly 3 years since we lost our beloved Burly, we are so fortunate to rescue/adopt my newest best bud, an 83-pound, 10-month-old bundle of slobbering affection, Bentley. Spent his first 4 months riding in a Midwest semi, then 6 months in a Rhode Island apartment.

@KenDavidoff @nypostsports Congrats Ken on everything so far and best of luck in whatever comes next. Damn, I was gonna offer you this dialogue from what 70's movie: "I can't believe this trade. What do the Mets need another pitcher for? All they got is pitching?" (think Columbo)

Sad & awful news. Fred Cranwell, my mentor & friend for so long, died Sunday after fighting brain cancer. Just a truly good guy. A journalistic genius of legendary kindness, Fred helped so many: he gave me one of my first jobs at the Hudson Dispatch in Union City NJ. RIP Fred

@MikeVacc This is horrible news. Jay Greenberg was truly one of the nicest people I ever was privileged to meet in this business. His laugh always filled a press box. Condolences to his wife Mona and family. RIP Jay

[Fred Kerber @FredKerber]

@theobserver This is devastating and heart-breaking. Rick exemplified professionalism and personified friendship. A good, good guy who always made time for you. He will be deeply missed. RIP

[Fred Kerber @FredKerber]

@bruce_arthur @the_owen_w @EdgeofSports Guilty as charged, Bruce

@KenDavidoff "You know, I'm such a great driver, it's incomprehensible that they took my license away."

Beyond his obvious talents and abilities, Sekou Smith was first and foremost a truly great guy, simply a nice man who had time and a smile for everybody. Condolences and prayers to his family.

@brendanmburke Congrats Brendan. Congrats Mary!

@ReplayApba @Super70sSports What numbers?

[Fred Kerber @FredKerber]

It's so hard to get my head around the horribly unfair loss of NYPost photog Anthony Causi. A wonderfully nice guy who made being nice seem so easy. Deepest condolences to his family. https://t.co/6RDouTgDyF

@HowardBeck To quote Sam Amick...shit
Marty is a treasure, pure and simple. One classic line from him regarding the popcorn the Mavs used to put out in Reunion Arena: "Those Dallas writers are the popcorn-eatingest MFers ever." Say a prayer

I never really considered myself a writer, but I actually have a book coming out in May about my five decades with the @Mets. You can pre-order your copy now. https://t.co/v4znSTEhEf

27 years ago through the loss of Drazen Petrovic the #Nets community experienced the grief and pain so many feel from Kobe Bryant's tragic death. Some of those remember for @nypostsports
