New York sports (Mets/Knicks/Jets/WFAN), politics, Jeopardy!, dad jokes/complaints. Queens bred, but Westchester is not upstate. Same handle on the Other App.

Get ready for the self-congratulatory video of a Pod Bro soberly kicking Platner to the curb when it’s nearing too late to replace him, without a second of self-reflection about dismissing Mills as too old and ignoring pleas to do an ounce of the oppo Republicans have done on him

Senator Bernie Sanders was noncommittal when asked by a Washington Examiner reporter if there’s a concern sexual assault allegations could come out against Graham Platner.

Bernie Sanders: “Why don't we examine income and wealth inequality?”

“I’m Naomi Wolf.”
“I’m Kanye West.”

“Your outie loves the Knicks”

@Acyn Can confirm. Actually aired went they went to break after the game ended. And can confirm I cringed.

Knicks legends transcend gimmicks. Their aura would be diminished by such a tacky thing.

[Lori Rubinson @LRubinsonWFAN]

One difference between Knicks and Spurs? Tim Duncan is wearing the promo t-shirt they put on his chair. Zero chance that Ewing or Clyde is wearing a cheap, promo shirt. Ain't happening at MSG. Neither is good or bad -- just different

[Mike @sleighguy]

My quarter-zip Knicks logo shirt and nervous energy have people asking me a lot of questions (like “are you nervous about the Knicks”) that are already addressed by my shirt and my face.

Mets W-L between Knicks playoff rounds:
May 1-3 (betw Hawks and 76ers): 2-1
May 11-18 (betw 76ers and Cavs): 5-1
May 26-June 1 (betw Cavs and Spurs): 6-1 if score tonight holds

So MAYBE the Mets aren’t bad. Like all New Yorkers, they’re just unproductive while the Knicks are on!

CIVIC PRIDE. Go NY go NY go! Da Knicks, bay-BEE!

The iconic green subway entrance railings and globes have been a fixture of New York City for decades. Now they're orange and blue.

And for the first time, the globes are basketballs.

Finals week hits different in New York.

[Mike @sleighguy]

3rd consecutive series where the Knicks draw the lower seeded opponent who had to fight like hell through 7 games.

Spurs are who I wanted. The younger, less experienced team. They are aggressive, but are they as cerebral as the Knicks? Don’t think so yet.

Knicks in 6.

@jonfavs All your fault if this backfires. There was a perfectly competent governor who personally stood up to the president, but you decided she was too old and boring. Not every flashy person also has substance and integrity like Obama. You hit gold once, and you think you always will

[Mike @sleighguy]

Something something but other lady who is governor be boring and old something something

Breaking News: Amy Gertner, the wife of Graham Platner — the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine — told his campaign in 2025 about sexual messages he sent to other women. https://t.co/0UefTX3dIS

Bastardization of the Spanish language to make up Latinx, a term that no working class Hispanic American asked for, and who nearly all vocally hated. And the same people who made up that stupid word couldn’t figure out why the Latino vote swung towards Trump.

For those of us (nearly everyone) who recognize Woke 1.0 as a failure, what’s something specific you’re willing to say it got wrong? Here’s mine: the practice of describing policies that were, like, Kerner Commission recommendations as “prison abolition” to get attention was dumb

[Mike @sleighguy]

@awfulannouncing Keep Maria Taylor at all costs. Get rid of the dudes or send them to the Barkley and Shaq School of Having A Personality.

If I even catch a whiff of AI in something I’m reading I’m instantly done. An intellectual boner killer.

Stephen Miller: "Based on what I've heard, we could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them"

They should make the Mets play a game there at noon during the Winter Solstice, to symbolize how life as a Mets fan is darkness.
