@wolfpac316@HowieRose To be fair, Dolan had been failing both the Knicks and Rangers since 1997. By that standard, Steve Cohen can have a little longer leash. Woody is running out of runway though, pun intended.
@YahooSports@poniesNpucks Do you guys not have access to Getty Images? If not, here’s some actual pictures of Dave Christian, and not goaltender Jim Craig.
@Isles_Life I feel like I’m crazy as seemingly the only one who thinks these are so boring. The first reverse retro jerseys were so bland and the Stadium Series jerseys were horrid. This feels like a zero effort. Need to see more creativity. Isles fans are so starved for something. Not this.
@OddandUnusual@shazen21 I have been a fan for the same duration, that was a horrible time. But shockingly, the Isles have had worse jerseys than the fisherman design. Including that Stadium Series jersey and the black jersey with “Islanders” across the chest with the numbers below it. Woof.
The Mets were a few pieces away from being major contenders each year. The top of the lineup was loaded. Needed healthy starting pitching and 1-2 solid pieces in the pen. Not re-signing major glue guys because “analytics” imploded this team. Numbers over faith makes players walk.
Watching the Alonso/Diaz press conferences today, #Mets fans shouldn’t be mad. It’s two sides of a coin in the sports business. Diaz focused on wanting to be part of a winning organization, Pete focused on the care given to him and his family. The Mets failed them both. #LGM
What some organizations fail to realize is that, while it is a business, a big component to building a winning culture is personal stability and operating on a positive frequency. The Mets made a historic run in 2024 solely because of this. “Vibes don’t lie” is a real thing.
@sw_holocron@billburr "Fett?"
"Let's just say they'd recognize my face..."
One of the best episodes of Star Wars ever created. Fantastic performances by everyone, especially @billburr - bringing in Operation: Cinder into live-action lore during that intense conversation with General Valin Hess!
@stefen_rosner I played travel baseball with the same guys for years growing up. There were years where we barely won any games - but we ALWAYS won the doubleheader on Father’s Day when all the dads were around. We wanted to win for them and all the effort they put in for us. It was special.
@everythingisle Fans: "Why aren't Isles fans getting loud and cheering on their team? Why is it so quiet? What is this, MSG? Why aren't people showing up and supporting the team?"
Also fans: "Don't get too excited at the game, because it annoys me."
@RTaub_ Last thought: Hockey is one of those sports where you absolutely need to look beyond the stats and watch if players also pass the eye test. The game goes beyond point production. That's why it's the hardest sport and the Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy in all of sports to win.
@RTaub_ These are the same people who booed Josh Bailey for not having 80 points a year when he was arguably the Islanders highest hockey IQ player in decades. Mark Scheifele, another brilliant hockey mind, said Bailey was one of the most underrated & smartest hockey players in the NHL
