After Saquon Barkley ran for 176 yards today while Daniel Jones threw for just 99, who is sillier: Giant fans who burned Saquon’s jersey because he left after the team offered him less money for three years than it is paying Jones per year, or management for woeful judgment?

Midway through the debate, I thought Trump would say he’d proven that his disloyal crew members had eaten the strawberries. By the end, Kamala reduced him to a puddle, like Fudgie the Whale left outside the refrigerator overnight.

@hgoldman77 Personally, I always thought Trump did a pretty good job of puncturing those myths just be being himself.

@paulschwartzman Nice windup, Paulie.

Biden's odyssey evokes the closing verse of Robert Frost's "Reluctance": Ah, when to the heart of man/Was it ever less than a treason/To go with the drift of things/To yield with a grace to reason/And bow and accept the end/Of a love or a season?

@ClydeHaberman Not to mention peddlers of amnesia pills, crackpot lawyers and fried fast food chains.

Re Giuliani’s squawking after he dared Arizona’s state attorney general to track him down and had his birthday party interrupted, call it “The Outlaw Rudy Wails”.

@esidery @ShamsCharania @RunItBackFDTV Red Holzman never smelled that kind of money.

@C_Sommerfeldt @NYPDChiefPatrol To their credit, the NYPD Flak Squad has to pull double duty: they’re forced to put out an awful lot of fires. On the other hand, if the regiment wasn’t so large, the department could probably add 40 Detectives.

@ClydeHaberman Maybe, following the legal principle of Never Put Off Until tomorrow what you can put off until December, they’re auditioning to join the Trump legal team.

@paulschwartzman The NBA two-minute review properly upheld the call. Turner was moving as DeVincenzo and he made contact, and the bumping gave Halliburton an advantage. If the Pacers wanted to squawk, they had a better case on the uncalled moving pick DeVincenzo set about 40 seconds earlier.

@jacobkornbluh Protests that feature antisemitic speakers and rhetoric as well as vandalism of public buildings while Rep. Bowman fails to acknowledge any wrongdoing by the side he’s supporting? It’s an obverse reflection of Donald Trump’s vision of America.

@ClydeHaberman These days, Rudy may be warbling (or gargling) a different lyric: Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

@WendyJGordon @sixers @nyknicks Will Wendy root for the Pacers now? Talk about The War At Home!

Astrophysicist and Nobel laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar used to travel 80 kilometers every week from the Yerkes Observatory to the University of Chicago, where he taught a course attended by only two students. When asked why he spent his time this way, the professor replied that they were very good students.

In 1957, Lee Tsung-Dao and Yang Chen-Ning were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. The course taught by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar became the only course in history where all its attendees received a Nobel Prize.

@C_Sommerfeldt I wouldn’t be too quick to condemn Adams in this instance. It has the feel of a familiar step in the city’s budget dance, giving the City Council an opening to waltz in and rescind the library cuts. It’s the art of diversion.

From the Protesters Say the Darndest Things file: Maryam Iqbal seemed shocked, Shocked! that “I received notice from Barnard administration that I had been suspended for my involvement in the illicit solidarity encampment.” An Ivy League student can’t conjugate illicit?

@RonFilipkowski @Danjanison Some of his followers may be confused by Trump’s sudden descent into political logic.
