Some years you have a baby. Some years you lose your job. Some years your toddler has chronic strep. Some years you undergo open heart surgery. And some years all of these things happen. The baby just turned one. It’s been a long year. jordanisadad.substack.com/p/the-baby-i...

As someone who worked for sports teams for 7+ years: if you can see yourself working anywhere else besides a team, don’t work for a team.

They calibrated the supporting characters *just right* after the first season and the show is singing now. More Dubois, a little less Sibby, a more grounded and elevated Tosh, floating the interns in and out only when it serves the principals. Scrubs really did step into the same river twice.

Huge co-sign from Trump on Ramaswamy's shockingly vile ad just now. It has to feel amazing, if you're running as an abusive predator, to get this kind of endorsement from the number one abusive predator in the game.

Colson Whitehead is so good at this

Not only does Polymarket’s statement fail to meaningfully address the bet, as Diana points out, but it’s also an attempt to delegitimize the media in order to position prediction markets as the one true virtuous arbiter of human events. That it’s gobbledygook doesn’t make it any less insidious.

I will not accept memories old enough to drive a car as evidence that the Yankees are “better” than the Mets. They may present as better. They may win more games. But what good is “better” when you are not happier for it? jordanisadad.substack.com/p/take-it-fr...

I underwent open heart surgery three weeks ago to repair an aortic aneurysm and replace my bicuspid aortic valve. Still feels pretty surreal 📓

I had major, complex open-heart surgery earlier this week to fix a valvular defect I’ve known about since I was a baby, plus another issue it was causing. Kept a journal month leading up to it ❤️‍🩹📓 jordanisadad.substack.com/p/the-bicusp...

There are an infinite number of ways to say “Swung on and missed, strike three” and Howie Rose knows all of them.

Expected sports and nonsense from @joeposnanski.com and @kentremendous.bsky.social, got sports and meaning. Now fully equipped to tell people why pasting a Knicks championship sticker over a Brooklyn Nets 2019 China Games water bottle is totally rational behavior

I live in Jupiter, Florida and have since retiring from the car dealership I owned in Toms River, NJ back in 2007. I play 162 holes of golf per week and the top issue in my life is this terrible Mandami pied-a-terre tax in New York City. What about all the money those people spend at restaurants?

It’s remarkable how burdensome WNBA discourse is relative to the joyfulness and lightness and inclusiveness of the actual in-arena experience. Like, go to a Liberty game and convince me this is the same league being crushed by all this manufactured extracurricular bullshit. It’s wild!

It’s not just that ESPN is bloodletting journalistic dignity for the sake of blowhard punditry. It’s that these voices continue to peddle and platform right-wing pet issues. Like, Stephen A. used to just be a Loud Guy, now he’s a Loud Guy with an axe to grind against trans kids and public health.

good thing the New York Times gave David Ellison column inches to clear the air about his politics

Things ruining baseball: -John Fisher -sponsorship deals with prediction markets -Bob Nutting -cost-prohibitive youth baseball -broadcast splintering/inaccessibility -management’s insistence on a salary cap Things not ruining baseball: -the Dodgers’ zest for winning

Very much not a bettor, but it feels like a church and state thing? Like, my gambling is over here, my fandom is over there. And whether books getting into bed with teams makes a material threat to the integrity of competition (it’s imperiled all the same IMO) the perception reeks, even to bettors

Erling Haaland could only dream of such a big Ben 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

There’s a strange rhythmic comfort in getting stoked for USMNT every four years only for them to crash out on schedule every time. Of course I’d rather they be good enough to win, but they so thoroughly failed to show up against Belgium, it’s almost as if they were fulfilling a patriotic duty.

A lot of shocked and distraught USMNT fans here have not spent three decades rooting for the Mets and it shows

Not a banner day for the Axis powers huh

If anything, the exploits of these Knicks should serve as evidence for Mets fans that championship alchemy can be conjured even in the most historically toxic environments. But for some reason it doesn’t feel that way. It just feels bad. open.substack.com/pub/jordanis...

OG Anunoby is set to throw out the first pitch at Citi Field on Sunday, and I’m thinking maybe the Mets should just keep him on the mound when the Phillies come to bat. There’s more magic in that right hand than anything the Mets have been able to conjure. open.substack.com/pub/jordanis...

USMNT should come out in Knicks jerseys for knockouts like the Mighty Ducks in Mighty Ducks 2

TIRED: You’re not a real Knicks fan if you weren’t born in the five boroughs WIRED: You’re not a real Knicks fan if you don’t hear Steve Somers’ voice in your head crying “what IS it already with the Knickerbockers” every time they miss a three

I see your Game 4 win probability chart and raise you my Game 4 heart rate monitor

THE NEW YORK 🗣️🗣️🗣️KNIIIIICKS

James Dolan deserves this

great job @nba.com!!

I swear two weeks ago everyone was calling this run Dolan’s redemption arc and I felt then, as I do now, like I was going insane

Donald Trump? The lifelong New York Knicks fan?

They heard someone who has committed especially heinous crimes is in the building

A blesséd Game 2 day to all who celebrate 🧡💙🙏

Incredible answer from KAT about not being nervous before game one but having a calmness that he felt came from his Mom

I can’t get over this NBA Finals matchup. One team a methodically built fire, finally roaring after years of reconfiguring the logs just so. The other, a heap of dry brush thrown atop a crackling 7-foot-6 duraflame. 

A little backdoor legitimacy for the NBA Cup never hurt nobody

Knicks fans are not just the bombastic children making cops assigned to 33rd and 8th wake up with dread. In the shouting and rabble-rousing there is a quietude, an eye of this storm in which most Knicks fans sit silently agape, unable to find the words for what this team is doing.
