@richarddeitsch That’s hilarious Smith will be on tv all day long

Also, I predict ESPN won't overuse Stephen A. Smith with the Knicks in the Finals.

@richarddeitsch MSG wouldn’t let them load up celebrity row maybe in some Disney suite though

ESPN/ABC hitting gold with the Knicks vs. Spurs/Thunder. Very marketable series given how long its been since the Knicks were in the Finals. Also: I have full faith that ESPN/Disney will not load up celebrity row with Disney-affiliated celebrities.

@AlanDownward Bossy

Which retired NHL player would still survive, and thrive, in today’s game? I’ll go first: Mario Lemieux

@EliNJERSEY @CAPTAINPEARLNYK @NBA_NewYork @NBA They can if it was from the box office The season ticket holders broke a legally binding agreement and the Cavs enforced the rule

@EDDAVI @CAPTAINPEARLNYK Any @NBA_NewYork or @NBA fan should be allowed to purchase tickets What are we doing here

I don't really understand the issue here there is a zero percent chance Dolan would let fans of other teams take over courtside tickets.

@EliNJERSEY @TicketTalkNet @cavsdan @NBA @cavs What the hell does race have to do with it

@EDDAVI @TicketTalkNet @cavsdan All tickets @NBA @cavs should be allowed to be bought by and fan any race or color This is terrible for fans

Not a good experience for fans @cavsdan ….. What are we doing here?

@Ticket_Help2022 Exactly And STH got very fair valued tickets in the grand scheme of NBA Finals in NYC first time in 27 years.

Anyone talking about prices of New York Knicks Finals tickets are just trying to get a nice click bait. They have not had their presales or onsales yet. Only tickets listed are from season ticket holders. Tickets of course will be setting records, but let’s see what they price their tickets at.

@goatcollect Weeknight corporate America…..in the 90s MSG was 85% STH and 75% of them were corporations.

Amazing to see the amount of fans in suit and ties at the game. Different world.

@JoshNorris Iran in Tijuana is even better

One home base being Cancun - while another is Rutgers - is sending me

@TheStrickland Very common

Wtf

@UnderFaceValue @MichaelSFNR1 Everything wrong with Ashe is fixed by Armstrong

@MichaelSFNR1 Tennis court dimensions and also no suite/club levels. Everything is closer and just filled with normal size chairs. It created intimacy and connectedness. The modern arena pushes separation and space. Economically and socially.

Louis Armstrong stadium feels so big yet small at the same time, idk how to explain it.

@GA_Hillbilly1 @1Nicdar Back in the early 80s it was awesome and the road signs for 500 miles were great

@1Nicdar A place called “South of the Border” in South Carolina.

What's the most overrated tourist attraction on the planet?

@TheTennisLetter Tim’s point about facilities at slams is very important. Look at US Open players complained about spaces, USTA building massive new building. Players deserve more sure but look at how 1st rd losers now make so much more now than 5 yrs ago. Also don’t forget USta spending yr rd

Interesting convo on the TNT Roland Garros desk about the players putting pressure on Slams for more prize money: Wertheim: "Since Friday the French Federation has offered to sort of come with a counter proposal in the next month and also on the books are meetings with Wimbledon and the US Open. The goal is to get to this 22% in the next 5 years.." Tim Henman: "I'd like to sort if slightly set the scene from my point of view. I am on the board at Wimbledon, but these are my opinions. These aren't necessarily the opinions of Wimbledon.. The talk of a boycott is terrible for everyone. I think it's extremely unlikely that we're going to get to that stage. & in my opinion regarding Wimbledon, their door is always open.. & yes, we certainly hear the players right now.. & I think they will get paid more prize money. I think it's also important to understand from Wimbledon's point of view the investment that is made in the facilities. When we look back since 2009, a roof on court 1, a roof on Centre Court, the Millennium Building, the projects across the road to buy the golf course for £65,000,000. I'm not sure we're comparing like with like if we look at a facility like Miami. Are they investing the same as we do in Grand Slams? So it's about finding the sweet spot where the players are getting paid what they feel it's worth, but then the likes of a Grand Slam that can take a long term view on the investment to provide the platform that is where a lot of these top stars are making a lot of the money.. Because I think it's interesting to hear Sabalenka talk about how they're doing it for the players further down the food chain. And then if you break down the prize money, players ranked 101-200, probably 70% of their prize money is coming from full tournaments.." Sam Querrey: "I don't think the players care whether you're a non profit or you're for profit honestly. And 2 things, and Tim hinted at it. This argument is not just with the French Open or the Majors, it's with the ATP tour as well. It's with Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome. They're trying to increase that prize money and revenue share throughout all of the tournaments. When you guys talk about the improvements in facilities. I think if you went to the players here and the French Federation said 'We have an extra 50 million. We can either build a new stadium or we can put that into prize money, what do you guys want?' Well give me the prize money, we don't need a new stadium, we don't care about the facilities to an extent. So that's kind of my view on it right now." Wozniacki: "Obviously the players feel like they weren't heard and things weren't moving quick enough so that's that's they're making such a public stance. Do I think 15 minute interviews instead of 18 minutes is really gonna make a difference? I don't. I think if it wasn't because the tournaments already wanted to hear out the players. Really nothing would change at this point unless there was a boycott but it's so good to hear that tournaments are taking this into consideration. And we're gonna see changes, there's there's no doubt about it. Every year from when I turned pro in 2005 to now, there's a huge difference.." John Isner: "I think one of the beefs is that these tournaments, especially at the Grand Slam level, these assets are always appreciating. And I can speak on the ATP level, no tournament has ever been sold at a loss.. And what is the player's number one asset? It's their body. Every single time they go on court, their assets are depreciating. I think that's a very important distinction to make there. So yes, as you did say Tim, as a player you have a limited time, a short window, to try and make as much money as you possibly can. I think this symbolic protest 15 minute media boycott if you want to call it that. I think it has started to turn some wheels and things are moving in the right direction. And it's awesome to hear that the tournaments are listening to the players."

@Alexfeinberg Uber is very different in cities like NYC were they are licensed like cabs and and most cars are owned by leasing companies like cab use to be

I thought the same about Uber & Lyft but as it turns out there’s a near infinite supply of questionable drivers who aren’t aware that most of every dollar they earn in fares is lost in vehicular depreciation

@RiskAstute @LordCornet09 @SkySportsNews @SkyF1Insider @AppleTV All same feed On Apple TV you can switch to sky announcers as well

@LordCornet09 @SkySportsNews @SkyF1Insider It could be worse, you could be watching the @AppleTV coverage.

#sky #F1 Is it just us or why has the F1 coverage got so bad this year! So many major incident gets missed then takes minutes for a replay. Director missing everything, too many cameras?? and no common sense its so bad. @SkySportsNews @SkyF1Insider

@KensethFan17_20 Button is a pros pro

What a call by Will Buxton. Man oh man

@NotFifthGear Indy amount of leader changes is insane and very enjoyable to watch.

F1 should delay the racestart because of Indy 500 aura

@bryanrbeal 99% of the time the NP or PA will return your calls and relay information from the doctor. Plus now with medical portals you can send messages and they actually respond. So much easier for day to day medical

If I have to see an NP instead of a real doctor, I want a 50% discount on my bill This is quite the racket healthcare providers have devised. Most of the time you go to the “doctor“ you’ll never see a doctor at all. You’ll see a nurse practitioner. But they’ll still bill you as if you had seen a doctor. Even though the nurse practitioners are far less educated and trained, and paid much less.

@TheMayorMatt @MikeFrancesa @FrancesaPodcast Give me a break, section 112 lower level end zone season ticket holder price for finals is $935. Loyalty pays off

When the Legend @MikeFrancesa said on his tremendous pod last night that he is hearing just how much #Knicks tickets will cost for the Finals...he couldn't fathom it, so you know they will be pricing out the average fan to enter MSG to no surprise. @FrancesaPodcast
