@Polymarket Their performance (esp the vocalist) of “Ain’t No Grave” for Gaethje’s walk out blew me away, honestly.

NEW: Dana White announces the UFC is working to release an album of the Marine Band’s White House performance at UFC Freedom 250.

@jasonrmcintyre I don’t think anyone’s said Mamdani isn’t a good and compelling speaker (he clearly is). Now the socialist policies…

If you covered up the name and the face and just heard the speech you'd recognize how great this is

@ExpressNews Stop it

New York’s housing market must have finally crashed, because Victor Wembanyama seems to be living in Knicks fans’ heads rent-free. According to reports, fans began chanting “(expletive) Wemby!” at the team’s championship parade. bit.ly/3SgTrwU

@LeBatardShow @NPDSclips @DavidPSamson By every metric except winning… 🥴

"You don't get to be a horrific human being and then your team wins a championship because you have a lot of money and now you're not a horrific human being anymore. That's not how that happens." - Dan Le Batard

@tomhaberstroh Be strong. Don’t give in to the bait.

@FoxSportsRadio @Kdubblive @OddCoupleFSR I buy this. Not that the league doesn’t still have problems — they do. The regular season has become largely irrelevant, but this reinvigorated basketball, no question.

"This Knicks TITLE SAVED the NBA!" 🔥 🎙️ @Kdubblive explains why the NBA NEEDED the Knicks to win the title with all the criticism the league has been getting @OddCoupleFSR 👀

@TheSteinLine So curious what a game 7 would’ve done

The NBA says that the five-game NBA Finals in 2026 were the most-viewed on television for the league since Michael Jordan’s last trip to the title round with Chicago in 1998.

@200divesL8r @ProFootballTalk That means 46% do, and that’s a helluva strong number.

@ProFootballTalk I doubt it. They don’t give a shit. ESPN doesn’t give a shit. Most of the U.S. doesn’t give a shit. A recent YouGov poll found 54% of Americans don’t plan to watch a single game.

Fox is reportedly "frustrated" by the lack of World Cup coverage on ESPN. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@KnicksLead No. Deserves a lot of credit for getting the Knicks pointed in the right direction, but come on.

Should the Knicks give Coach Thibs a ring 🤔

@darrenrovell I’ve always had a hard time wrapping my head around that ~72 million number from 1998. But, Michael Jordan amid retirement talk plus a game 7… maybe.

At its height, 9.5 percent of the U.S. population was watching Knicks-Spurs. To put in perspective, 26.1 percent of the U.S. population was watching Bulls-Jazz in 1998 at its height.

Dana White says the FBI-foiled terror plot wasn't the only threat against @UFC Freedom 250 (starts at 8:25). He credits the "incredible" law enforcement for keeping everyone safe. Also talked to @danawhite about where the event ranks all-time for him personally, how many people watched, whether they considered (also) airing the fights on CBS, @Topuriailia's health, @Justin_Gaethje's future, those epic walk-outs, and more!

@Hoopss You’ve gotta be kidding, right? All Knicks fans say no. Ship sailed on KD to NYK years ago.

Who says no?

@TheStrickland @SoleRetriever Love that OG is getting the shine he deserves 🙌

OG Anunoby is officially getting a signature sneaker from Skechers, per @SoleRetriever Skechers President in statement: "It’s too early to share specific details, but we do have a signature shoe in the works."

@WallStreetApes FWIW, I’ve worked at TMZ for 13 years and have no idea who this person is…

Former TMZ Insider who worked at TMZ and has nearly a decade in New York News experience is speaking out She says the mail in ballots in Los Angeles are very clearly fraud but TMZ won’t cover it because of the ‘TMZ News Directors’ She explains that if Leftist news directors don’t support a story, it won’t get covered “Let me tell you, one thing I've learned is that if a news director does not support what is going on or what needs to be reported for the truth, they're not going to investigate it. They're not going to. It will not be on their network, period” This TMZ insider is telling us to our faces that both news and major shows will not cover stories if the director doesn’t support the story politically So that got me thinking, which shows and news have “left leaning” directors that would ignore stories like voter fraud? Here’s the list • TMZ • People Magazine • Us Weekly • E! News • Access Hollywood • Entertainment Tonight • The View • Extra • BuzzFeed Entertainment • HuffPost Entertainment • Daily Mail US • Page Six • Vibe Magazine • Rolling Stone • The Hollywood Reporter • Variety • IndieWire • Deadline Hollywood • CNN • MSNBC • ABC News • CBS News • NBC News • PBS • NPR • BBC News This needs attention. We can’t survive as a country with this much coordinated misinformation

@ClayTravis I don't disagree, but when you're paying $1.1 billion a year for the UFC's media rights, gotta make some money.

@stoolpresidente from the looks of it.... 😂

Is this the 1st time Rogan has ever worn a tie?

@ChampRDS Epic 📸

THIS PICTURE GOES SO HARD #UFCWhiteHouse

@EmmanuelAcho Nothing like this… not even close

Imagine what life, and the timeline, would look like if the Cowboys win a Super Bowl 🤯🤯🤯

@BenRitholtzNBA They do both deserve credit, especially Thibs

Sincerest of shoutouts to these 2 great Knicks 🫡

@Calvin_256 @barstoolsports Strange getting worked up about someone else’s happiness, but do you. We’ll be over here celebrating. 🍾

@barstoolsports This level of dramatic pandering is exactly why everyone outside of New York can't stand the Knicks. It’s basketball, not a religious experience. Get a grip.

To say this means EVERYTHING to Knicks fans would be an understatement
