This week we are trending towards what could be the crowning achievement of @NYCTSubway ‘s incompetence. So far, we are 3/3 this week with delays and/or service disruptions. Let’s see if we can make it a clean sweep on Thursday and Friday!
Half a year in and I still have not gone a full week (Monday-Friday) without experiencing some kind of ridiculous delay or service disruption @NYCTSubway
Think I am going to turn this in to a “Did I have a reasonable commute today?” account in 2026 to highlight just how bad @NYCTSubway service has become
@JLEdwardsIII This is such a great article, James. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your coverage and think you’ve done a phenomenal job. I give you all the credit in the world for being this vulnerable with your audience. I’ll be rooting for you (and, of course, the Knicks!).
The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.
NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.
A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.
Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.
Time for an update: 2 months into the year and I have not had 1 (one) full work week (M-F) where I had a smooth commute. Service continues to deteriorate and March is off to a hot start with 13 minutes in between Manhattan bound N trains during rush hour. Be better @NYCTSubway
@Derrick_NYC Ditmars Blvd. Also, you probably have an answer, but there was a train in the station that was just sitting there. Is there a reason why when trains are delayed they still wait for one to pull into the station there vs. just having the train that’s already there leave?
