Great chat with @AlbBizMikeD in this week's @AlbanyBizReview on the story of @RelentlessAware and all things possible.

Fully agree with this. The storytelling of those Finals (down 3-1, ending CLE's drought, LeBron homecoming, and epic rivalry with GSW) was chef's kiss.
The 2016 NBA Finals is still the greatest Finals we have ever seen.
Game 1: 19.2M viewers (22.6M peak)
Game 2: 17.5M viewers (19.4M peak)
Game 3: 16.5M viewers (18.8M peak)
Game 4: 16.6M viewers (20.4M peak)
Game 5: 20.5M viewers (24.0M peak)
Game 6: 20.7M viewers (25.3M peak)
Game 7: 31.0M viewers (44.8M peak)
The level of disrespect for Eli Manning is ridiculous. The man won two rings. Let him continue to have his flowers and allow Brunson to be a king in his own right.
New York is big enough for everyone.
Odyssey tickets crashing AMC.
Obsession showings still selling out three weeks in.
People complaining Backrooms is racist.
Music biopics making a billion.
Are we… are we so back?
Dear @AaronDonald97
Hey it’s me again. Remember when you said if we got Micah Parsons you’d consider coming out of retirement? Man that was crazy right? Woulda been dope.
Anyways now we got Myles Garrett. So I think we should be a hair above “consider” no? Anyways. I hope this message finds you well.
The James Dolan glare is a signature look of supreme disappointment. During bleak moments, he’ll sit slumped in a chair along the baseline at Madison Square Garden, the arena he owns, disapprovingly watching the New York Knicks, the team he owns. Last spring, after the 2024–25 Knicks season had ended frustratingly and abruptly, one step short of the NBA Finals, Dolan fired head coach Tom Thibodeau, who had resurrected an awful franchise, and replaced him with Mike Brown, a more anodyne presence who had been fired from three previous NBA head-coaching jobs.
Whether Dolan or team president Leon Rose deserves more credit for the move is unclear, but the owner has publicly staked his reputation on the strategy. “The decision to replace Thibodeau now looks like a stroke of genius,” writes Chris Smith. “Not simply because this week the Knicks return to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years but because it could provide some level of vindication to Dolan, long one of the most vilified team owners in professional sports.”
The team’s magical run is earning Dolan some warmer words from critics and long-suffering fans. In 2020, Spike Lee accused Dolan of “harassing” him after security guards impeded the director’s regular use of an employee entrance at the Garden. Now Lee gives Dolan credit for hiring Brown, Rose, and special adviser William Wesley to engineer this moment. “It’s all orange-and-blue skies,” Lee tells Smith. “Me and Mr. Dolan are Kool & the Gang.”

The Critic appears poised for a comeback.
Al Jean, who co-created the short-lived but still beloved animated series, is already on board for the revival and series star Jon Lovitz also has a deal in the works to return.

I'm not one for advocating for MORE insurance but we're heading toward a future where you won't be able to bike without proof of insurance.
More importantly, get the damn motor-and-E powered (not assisted) bikes off the bike lanes and roads.
AND PLEASE WEAR A HELMET.
This crash video from richie_engineer on Instagram shows why e-vehicles + two-way bike lanes are such a menace. Richie ended up with a cracked clavicle, the unidentified e-biker sped off telling him to "go cry about it" and he had to hire PI to track him down to sue him.
As I suspected, Knicks fans aren’t flying to San Antonio. It’s not close to the same.
Look at the price drop in Texas since the Spurs won.
New Yorkers would rather pay 3-4x for a Garden experience.
