Just saw the news the great @AlexWitt is leaving MSNOW. She is a generous, straight-shooting survivor in an often rough business.
I’m among the thousands - yes, thousands - who’ve joined her through the years on Saturdays and Sundays. Her encouragement helped a newspaper guy realize maybe it was time to go TV full-time.
Thank you, Alex, for being so generous, a straight-shooter, and a steady weekend warrior. (Screengrab from May 2014! Alongside the great @lynnsweet!)
Joe Flacco went on a rant with @bykevinclark about how football 15 years ago was tougher.
“I don’t think it should be roughing when they land on us. Or being slapped on the head is roughing. It affects games in a negative way.”
Full clip is must-watch.
Yup, Jets green has been running through me since the day they drafted me. Despite the ups and downs, the faith is mutual… that means the world to me.
Excited to start a new version of the chase next week. #JetUp
This week was a wildly extreme example of a trend I'm obsessed with in sports media.
I have consumed, conservatively, 10 hours of NBA podcast gossip this week (80% Luka analysis/conspiracies). Meanwhile, I genuinely don't think I've watched ten consecutive minutes of NBA on TV since the Finals.
On the other hand, I have consumed maybe 15 mins of Super Bowl media content this week (rare case, to be clear; I subscribe to 4 or 5 NFL pods I adore, but my appetite for Luka gossip, plus the rematch nature of the KC-Philly SB, temporarily squeezed them out). Meanwhile, I'll watch every minute of the Super Bowl from the national anthem to the confetti drop.
Giants most important game to lose of the season and they have their best offensive performance in years. Jets deliver their worst performance in years just as their offense looks palatable. Truly the two most embarrassing franchises in the sport.
After more than 50 years, legendary broadcast journalist Chuck Scarborough stepped down from his daily duties anchoring the news at NBC 4 New York.

The same plane that led the D-Day invasion on the beaches of Normandy in France will be a part of the flyover over Ford Stadium on Saturday, thanks to a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck.
