Spike Lee on securing the divine mandate for the @nyknicks:

“I'm feeling great. Because this is our time. I'm not nervous. I'm not anxious. And we've been blessed by Pope Leo.”

The Greatest Sho on Earth

Tonight was Shohei Ohtani's 11th career game where he pitched 5.0+ innings and had more or as many base hits as he allowed.

The only MLB player in the modern era with more such games is Walter Johnson (16).

@WhitStillman Thank you!

Absolutely outstanding defense by Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson throughout the night. It’s worn on Wemby, who’s learned the Knicks aren’t the Thunder.

[Ken Gardner @KenGardner11]

Not an NBA guy at all, but I am starting to think that the New York Knicks might never again lose another basketball game.

[Thomas D. Howes @ThomasDHowes]

Wow, Knicks

I want to reach the maturity level when I realize that sports refereeing is difficult, thankless, and that perfection in it is an unrealistic expectation.

I have not reached that level yet.

@TylerBoliver Thank you

@NealMcCluskey Thank you!

@AgainstClerisy @McGillPatterson No, seriously, read Deneen's book closer. That's what he's attacking.
