The Giants matched last season's win total in 7 games They're top 10 in total defense despite being 30th in yards allowed per carry They're on 3rd QB with J.J. McCarthy The run game was shaky until yesterday against the No. 3 run defense This team is something else www.newsday.com/sports/colum...

For Carrie Frances: 🎂 ❤️

HIM IS BACK!!!! You see that bat flip! He needed that one badly. Ohtani found life

I had my doubts last year about a Dodgers repeat. Had my doubts in March about a three-peat. Winning is hard to sustain. Age catches up. The toll is heavy. Another team finds the breaks you used to have. That's why I enjoy the ride. Talent on paper never guarantees anything. Respect to the Brewers

The Donnie Moore game was 40 years ago today. Wow. Dave Henderson's home run changed that ALCS and sadly, we know the tailspin Moore flew into after that. Still a wild game knowing both LCS that year had all-time thrillers.

Almost 24 hours after kickoff and that Giants' tie with the Commanders still had some of the worst end-of-game clock management I've seen. I've covered some funny HS games and I don't think I've seen that before.

Maybe it was fitting that Deonte Banks’ penalty got the Cardinals at the Giants 4 yard line. A play that would’ve defined his tenure of rough showings, losing his starting job and penalties. But he redeemed himself with his biggest play as a Giant. 2nd straight week defense made a game-ending play

3 TDs, 2 INTs for Jameis Winston. But importantly, a second straight W on his watch. And perhaps more important. Deonte Banks found redemption after a much maligned Giants career. Game-sealing Pick 6. Giants are 3-1 and alone atop the NFC East.

It's a rainy, windy day here at MetLife Stadium. Some call it football weather. I just call weather folks happen to play football in. We'll see how Jameis Winston handles his 1st start this Giants season. But expect a lot of the run game to support him

Bad look. Awful look. Classless and crass. On Lincoln Riley’s blind eye to the antics that followed the scary hit on Dante Moore — and how much that says about the state of USC football. www.latimes.com/sports/usc/s...

What a great music anniversary date. Tribe’s Low End Theory Chili Peppers’ Blood Sugar Sex Magik Nirvana - Nevermind. I still remember being overwhelmed in college by the bass on Low End and the wild energy of BSSM. Teen Spirit still sounds amazing. Salute to 3 incredible records

Dexter? I got through 6 seasons and loved it. But I stopped after that. Heard about how things got weird

Since Ohtani got hurt, I've accepted Pete Crow-Armstong is the front-runner for MVP. Another talented SoCal kid in the majors who's producing.

25 years ago, the Giants returned to Newark Airport from Monday Night Football. At the next gate was United Flight 93, the last plane to be hijacked on 9/11 Spoke to Tiki Barber & Amani Toomer about that day & the aftermath of how the team helped a city try to heal www.newsday.com/sports/footb...

Colson Whitehead's become one of my favorite writers the last few years (just finished the 2nd of his Harlem trilogy). His books about New York helped me understand the city I've lived in since 2023. Didn't know all this time he wrote about 9/11 so this is a must read

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A jury convicts Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis of first-degree murder in orchestrating the 1996 killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur.

Michael Alter isn’t backing down after ejecting Enes Kanter Freedom from Sunday’s Chicago Sky game. Kanter Freedom is now banned from future Sky games — and Alter is denying “lies” from the former NBA player, including a text exchange with GM Jeff Pagliocca.

We knew how good we had it with OutKast albums. But it's still crazy that it's been 20 years since the last one. I appreciate Big Boi's solo career. Enjoyed Dre's flute record. I accept that if we don't get another 'Kast album, I'm grateful we got to enjoy them being game-changers.

Did a solo trip to Miami. Got a hotel on South Beach, ate at a great spot, found a rum bar, sipped sangria while laying in the sun, met up with another friend celebrating her bday at this fancy steakhouse I got great advice to do something I hadn't done before so I followed that.

Two bombs. Two for HIM. Nothing like the Rockies to restore good vibes.

HIM in Colorado just doesn’t feel fair when he tees off. Smoked that sucker

Anytime i see a Wordle with a word I’ve never seen, I wonder who uses these words everyday. Like today? Never heard that sucker before. And yet my streak persists. Somehow.

Much needed love for the 90s ska era. I remember hearing this song so much and loving the burst of joy it gave me.

Anytime I've been in the Chi since 2020, I always look for these. Then I'm reminded I still need to buy Yankee Hotel Foxtrot on vinyl like I did Sufjan's "Illinois"

Idk why I thought Slippery When Wet dropped in 87, not 86. What a great song. Hit em with the chorus right away and don't let off the gas til the final note.

@dartadams.bsky.social man I hate to bug again. But you did hella work on schooling people on Breaking Atoms among others. Today ain’t the anniversary is it? Feels like I remember you saying January or earlier?

George Clinton turns 85 today.

Yep. The sad thing about ESPN is it's part of a bigger problem. And you can tell who's aware of that by how they discuss these layoffs. Only in Micro terms or macro as part of widespread media layoffs. Whole game is changing and it's bigger than 1 entity.

The FDA’s been listening to Talking Heads I guess. Cause this is making flipping floppy right in everyone’s faces. If “well actually” needed an example this week….

When I read about this in Jeff Pearlman's book about the 86 Mets, it felt like another part of their epic lore. Better than anybody else and wilder in the streets than anybody else.

France playing in the World Cup semis with today being Bastille Day seems just right. Either that or today’s an excuse for us Americans to blast “Pompeii” and remember when that Bastille song was everywhere.

George E. Johnson, the pioneering Black hair care entrepreneur who created Ultra Sheen and Afro Sheen, has died

It’s official. The Bucks trade of Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat is complete. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

This great album soundtracked many of my runs in the 2010s when I discovered "Romeo". Been playing "Breakaway" a lot this last month or so because of that Earth, Wind and Fire sample. "Romeo" and "Jus 1 Kiss" (w/a great Chic sample) are perfect. "Where's Your Head At" = banger from my HS days.

Big winner of the Giannis trade: the Jaquez family, in that their two pro kids now play 90 mins apart

Milwaukee got a lot but I have no idea if that Miami deal scares who it needs to. Knicks scared? No. Celtics? Nah - maybe anger them b/c apparently they had a proposed deal per Shams. Cleveland and Detroit? Eye don't think so Let's see what happens when the ball rolls out.

"It's done, it's dead" (c) Doechii. No more trade rumors or speculation. My Bucks and Heat colleagues can breathe again like Toni Braxton...and get ready for another wild chapter.

A lot makes you wonder with Len Bias. The Celtics surely would've been good in the 90s with him and Reggie Lewis. What would the drug laws have been if DC didn't overreact to Bias' death. A life cut short had so many ripple effects...

One of the biggest sports "what ifs" ever... IMO Len Bias was next level amazing... 💔 (November 18, 1963 – June 19, 1986) 💙🕊🙏🏽 #40Years

And some of us didn't get put on game until 2004. Thanks Garden State and Natalie Portman. Shins didn't change my life, of course. But "New Slang" goes.

I like John Denver but I'm surprised that's the artist you go with after Team USA won to get to the knockout rounds. Still, hella respect for these last 2 games. Team USA looked pretty good, good form.

This happened at the Winter Olympics as well...

The Knicks pulled off the largest comeback (29 PTS) in NBA Finals history.

What the heck did we just watch. Oh my God.

Best player this series. KAT. Not even close what he’s done on both ends and basically neutralizing Wemby
