This is why you don’t take metronome markings pre-1850 too seriously

@moorehn I lived on Atlantic Ave betw Hoyt/Bond 1992-2000, used Hoyt-Schermerhorn stop often, and that’s not my memory at all. Sure at night you’d have to have your wits about you, but I felt the same about lower Manhattan at night. Granted, I was in my 30s then & male (latter still true)

Cannot stress enough that Brooklyn in the 90s was considered sketchy and mostly impassable. Even in Park Slope, which is now one giant playground for bourgeois parents, you had to be careful on 5th Avenue and most of 7th Avenue. Brooklyn Tech kids would get mugged constantly around Hoyt-Schermerhorn. "Flatbush Avenue" was mostly heard on the news paired with "there was a shooting today on"

Interesting quirk of the NYC on "Seinfeld" is there's no Brooklyn. The only "Outer Boro" that has presence on the show is Queens as a natural habitat for George's screaming white-ethnic parents.

@Hero_OfThe_Day Wemby’s absurdly long strides may actually lead to a stricter enforcement/interpretation of traveling rules. And then, palming! (That will never revert to original rules, though it should)
English
Wait until you watch this!! 👀🤯🤯
Wembanyama picks the ball up 30 feet from the basket, not taking a SINGLE dribble, and easily lays it up!! HOW IS THAT NOT A TRAVEL!?
This is UNWATCHABLE. The NBA has to fix this joke of a product!! 🔥🔥

Completely agree. Selection Sunday was my favorite day of the sports calendar. NIL but especially the transfer portal, has made names of the schools irrelevant. Might as well just call them Team 1, Team 2, etc. NBA teams now have a much more “followable” team culture/tradition.

Of all the sports that I loved as a kid, college basketball has fallen the farthest for me. I just don’t give a shit anymore. It used to be so good. Young people today can’t even understand what we know.

@NekiasNBA Me too…he looks really creaky and fragile. The passage of time can be so painful, just watched him as rookie on the ABA documentary “Soul Power” and it just seems like yesterday

@FiresideKnicks Only if Cade is out with injury the whole series and I don’t wish that upon him or any player.
English
The Knicks have not fared well against Detroit this season. Do you think they’ll beat them if they meet in the playoffs?
English
@Thebiglade You have to when you start thinking about retirement, as you try to make a best guess about how many years you likely have to stretch out what you may have saved.
English
When people get in their 50s and 60s and up, do you start thinking about how many years you have left??
English
Possibly, my ass. Indubitably!
Massimo@Rainmaker1973
Possibly the greatest single male athletic performance of all time

The very short time Sochan was on Cade seemed effective. With what was happening last night seems it would have been worth trying earlier.

@14thefrog @JoeMurphyLondon As a musician, I keep thinking “mezzo-forte”

@JoeMurphyLondon Lovely post. My one criticism is the constant use of "mf....". It took me a moment to realise that the first word was "more" rather than "Mother" 😂

Here's my story about Jesse Jackson.
In 2012, I was offered an interview with him for the Evening Standard. Of course, I accepted. Who would turn down a chance to meet a historic figure who had been a friend of Dr Martin Luther King?

@TheDouglyTruth Guess my prediction was wrong, eh? Still, I thought Pats defense played heroically under what had to feel like demoralizing conditions, having to trudge out there and do their bit after another 3-&-out, time after time.

@TampaBayTre @stoolpresidente Maybe that "arms are too short" was a real thing?

Need Will Campbell to reach out to Dante Scarnecchia like Creed did with Rocky. I’m talking moving into Scarnecchia’s house. Up at 5:45am. Wilderness training montage. Inspirational quotes about how you can’t anchor against a bull rush until you anchor yourself
All-Pro incoming

@KnicksBeast Borderline call but KAT has got to realize refs are sick of his constant whining & it’s counterproductive in terms of getting more benefit of the doubt on close calls. They do have it in for him, I think. But even as a Knick fan I find it hard to blame them.

Clyde Frazier after KAT fouls out
“It’s just inexplicable folks…why…how he does it. You have five fouls why are you trying this…why…”

@IanBegley Not bad enough that we lost to a 13-win team last in the East: they were 3-22 on the road going into tonight’s game. If we want to have any chance of 2nd seed in East and holding off Boston & Cleveland, cannot lose these kinds of games—at home no less!
English
Knicks fall in OT at home to a Pacers team that came to MSG with 13 wins. NYK went on 10-2 run in final minute to cut Pacer lead to 1 but IND sealed game by hitting its FTs. NYK shot 11-for-26 in 4th quarter and first 4:08 of OT before going on late run. IND shot 40% on threes

What I Miss ⚾
• guys hitting .300+
• aces throwing complete games
• less showboating
• scheduled double headers
• small ball
• plunking dudes who showboat
• infield warm-up
• less egos, more humility
• decent giveaways
• cheap beer nights
• better umpires
• stirrups

@AlanSarapa I’ll go you one better, RFK in ‘68 had he not been killed.

I think often about how different the world would be if Al Gore had won in 2000.

@_CLancellotti Every commenter is missing your point, I believe: the clumsy part of the sentence. Would have been better to say “deep-cold conditions that locked the lagoon in ice for the first time in decades.”
English
The English language is screaming in pain.

FROZEN IN TIME: A vintage iceboat glided across New York’s frozen Great South Bay, taking advantage of rare deep-cold conditions that haven’t locked the lagoon in ice for decades.
