I’ve asked this before but due to my advanced age I don’t remember if anyone answered or what that answer may have been.
Why do England, Scotland, and Wales compete separately in the World Cup but all together as Great Britain in the Olympics?
Interesting scene here on the LIRR. Mets game, PR day parade, lots of Knicks jerseys. And two very concerned looking Atlanta fans who seem none too comfortable with all of it.
@PeterBotte I get the “can’t call it MetLife” problem. But this is a hell of a missed opportunity. “Jimmy Hoffa Field at Adam Gase Stadium” would have simply rolled off the tongue.
Basketball is probably my 8th favorite sport (hockey 1-4, then football, baseball, and soccer), so I have no claim to great Knicks fandom. That said, hoping they win so that so many here who have never seen a title get to see one.
And a team from Texas losing would be good too
@PeterBotte I was about to chastise you for leading with a Law and Order reference when a Seinfeld one was sitting and waiting for you on the tee. But you redeemed yourself with this. Well done sir. Well done.
@islanders_takes My dad died on the day of the Knicks game 7 loss to Indiana in 2024. He was a longtime Knicks fan & had been following that series all week. As I walked out of the hospital room when it was over, I turned around and said “Knicks lost.”
He would have been really happy today
