@Brodes81 @SportsRadioWIP Was running on Sunday morning in North Wildwood and could have sworn I went right past you, though guessing you were in Vegas by then

@ianfromphilly I wonder who’s in charge of ensuring the organization has a thriving farm system that develops prospects that can help the big club directly or via trade for established players?

@TVietor08 Not sure why journalists are so generous in granting anonymity to a White House that disparages any reporting it doesn’t like as “fake news.” Especially for an anodyne quote like this, the “senior administration official” should be on the record

Hot dogs are still $2 in Atlanta for the World Cup. It’s basically a $1.5 billion Costco.

@Giants4life10 Love that meme. Enjoy your weekend!

[Tim Reilly @reillyt7]

@Giants4life10 And perhaps ponder how the hypothetical experience you laid out might be similar to the experiences of multiple Spurs fans leaving MSG or just happening to walk in Manhattan

[Tim Reilly @reillyt7]

@Giants4life10 I’d love to keep engaging, but I have things to do. In the future, consider only using quotes to capture what someone actually said (I never said few). It makes you look like you’re arguing in bad faith, and we have enough of that on the internet

[Tim Reilly @reillyt7]

@Giants4life10 Cool. Great talking to you. Enjoy the parade. And don’t wear a Wemby jersey there. I don’t like seeing people get hurt. See, I’m not part of “the problem”

[Tim Reilly @reillyt7]

@Giants4life10 Funny, because your inability to recognize the actions of individuals do not reflect on a group of millions of people who happen to live in the same major metropolitan area tells me you’re part of the problem. But these are the rules you created, so enjoy it.

Chris Nikic, the first person with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman, completes Ironman 70.3 Massachusetts.

Shortly before the race, Nikic announced that he needed a guide to run alongside him for the race.

That's when Dr. Tommy Martin decided to step up.
⁠
"I learned more in this race than almost any other I have competed in, and none of it was about race tactics or how to PR. It was about life, perspective, determination, and grit. I owe all of that to Chris," Martin said.

"I hope every finish line Chris crosses serves as a reminder to the world: your diagnosis, your situation, your circumstances do not define your potential!"

Congrats, Chris!

@MikeSielski Yep, indisputably so. And the ratings surge the NBA experienced during the Finals bears that out, along with the insane crowds at the Garden and the infiltration of Knick fans at road games

As the Sixers’ biggest rivals win championships, I’m comforted to know Josh Harris saved himself some money ahead of the trade deadline.

Thank goodness for Birthright citizenship

Teenagers can literally read anything, and older text are only difficult because we keep lowering standards. I read The Count of Monte Cristo and 1984 in middle school. We need to stop saying students can't do things or can't handle things. The race to the bottom is pure poison.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

The best mosquito repellent for your patio costs $20 and runs on a wall outlet: a fan.

Mosquitoes are terrible fliers with a top speed of about 1-2 miles an hour, slower than you walk, and they struggle to make headway against even a gentle breeze. Point an oscillating fan at your outdoor seating area and they'll physically struggle to get to you.

It works on two levels too. A mosquito finds you by following the plume of carbon dioxide you exhale, plus the heat and scent rising off your skin. A fan scatters all of it and erases the trail that leads them in. So it knocks them out of the air and helps hide you from their senses at the same time.

This isn't folk wisdom. The CDC notes that fans reduce mosquito landings, and studies have found that using a fan can substantially reduce mosquito bites.

Citronella candles offer only modest protection and are generally much less effective than a fan or EPA-registered repellents. Plug in a fan, aim it at the table, and take your evening back.

We keep lowering standards with the stated intention of helping those who are behind. Is it working?

@DPearsonPHL @KevinMLevy Really was a fascinating time in the history of the city. Buzz Bissinger’s A Prayer for the City captured the moment well I thought

[Tim Reilly @reillyt7]

@DPearsonPHL @KevinMLevy Two questions: do you think Castile would have beaten Rendell? Do you think Rizzo would have beaten Rendell if he didn’t pass away before Election Day?
