The greatest New Yorker cartoon of all time.

The Athletic is accepting applications across multiple departments for its Leon H. Carter newsroom internship, a 12-week program that will embed students to every facet of the newsroom. Deadline to apply is November 8, 2024. Postings here: jobs.lever.co/theathletic

After the @Mets won game 6 of the 1986 World Series I was in the interview room at Shea and asked Mookie Wilson “Do you even realize what just happened?” The room erupted. Thus, I ask you. Did that really just happen? My goodness.

Just one man’s opinion but that’s almost certainly the greatest game in #Mets regular season history. And probably belongs in no particular order alongside Game 6 1986 NLCS and Game 6 of the ‘86 World Series in the top three games in team history.

One community... One team 😈

Amazing event in Rye, NY tonight. A reunion of Sports Illustrated staffers in honor of the mag’s 70th anniversary. I spent 22 years there and still can’t believe it. Loved that time and those people. So good to see everyone again! And @SInow continues to do great work.

Former colleague @MikeHumePost has some cool ideas percolating, and he's looking for someone familiar with coding to help him build them. More here: pickingsplinters.substack.com/p/in-search-of…

And it's baseball season!

Mets win!

The LA Clippers' new arena looms over the tiny home of a lone elderly woman and her dog. "The construction noise is really bad," says the tenant, who misses her neighbors, and a shady tree. By @ArashMarkazi and @CRedRojo @TheMessenger themessenger.com/sports/la-clip…

Known the great @Jen_Royle a long time, going back to heyday of @Yankees/@RedSox '03-04 rivalry. She crushed it in one male-dominated industry & doing same in another. Her @TableBoston eatery is awesome. She dishes (wink) on all for @TheMessenger Sports: tinyurl.com/mspekdfx

Jen Royle used to be a sports reporter. Now she's an award-winning chef celebrating her fifth anniversary at @TableBoston. How'd she do it? New from @CRedRojo @TheMessenger. @Jen_Royle themessenger.com/sports/jen-roy…

Saquon Barkely told me he didn't want to play college football at all early in high school, and didn't start taking it seriously until Rutgers offered him a full scholarship based off his JV highlights. Then he ditched Rutgers for a non-football reason. themessenger.com/sports/saquon-…

How Kenny Blakeney balances winning and mentoring -- and the lessons he learned @DukeMBB -- as head basketball coach at Howard University @HUMensBB. Terrific piece by @maxrego_ @TheMessenger themessenger.com/sports/kenny-b…
