North West is a girl. So I guess she'll star in a remake of The Next Karate Kid?

My favorite it Taystee! No, wait — it's Poussey! Or wait, was it Flaca? Or Nicky? Or Miss Claudette or Red orWatson or Big Boo or Crazy Eyes or Lorna or Sophia or the Sister or Maritza or Mendoza or Pennsatucky or Gina. Who knows? Anyone but Pornstache. (It's Taystee.)

How old is your son, Drew? When my now-5-year-old nephew was 2 and a half, he went from loving Thomas to absolutely hating Thomas overnight. The train table and hundreds of Thomas-related toys now stand as monuments to our wasted money and foolishness. (Did it stop us all from spending thousands of dollars on Cars…

No.

I second the "in the frying pan" suggestion for reheating pizza.

"Much less meaner"? Way to talk English, douchebag.

Point taken. We shall see. And if Bargnani turns out to be garbage, and the Knicks can't do anything with their cap space in the summer of 2015, and then the Knicks and Nuggets end up in the lottery in 2016 (which is certainly possible, seeing as how a lot can change in 3 years), I'll have to eat major crow.

As a Rangers fan, I have to admit I was hoping the Rangers would consider Lecavalier if they bought out Brad Richards. He had pretty decent numbers last year, is good in the face-off circle, and has won it all before. Solid second or third line center for a contender.

I didn't mean it as evidence, just an explanation for why I care less about draft picks than your average NBA fan. Most teams' first round history will look like the Knicks', though. Even when you draft well, nothing is guaranteed and windows are short (OKC, for example). Who were all the young talented members of…

I guess you can't delete a post?

As of right now, after his trade the only salary commitments the Knicks will have for 2015-2016 are $4.5 mil to Raymond Felton (player option) and a 3.8 mil qualifying offer for Imam Shumpert. The team will be so different that a first round pick in 2016 is completely irrelevant to the 2013-2014 New York Knicks. You…

Jon Hamm was Ellie Kemper's ("Erin" from The Office) high school drama teacher. Near St. Louis! I think he's a Cards fan! Maybe she is too? Someone ask Jason Stark.

As always, let's let Alan Hahn talk us off the ledge: http://sulia.com/channel/new-yo…

They don't have any cap space to give up, not until after the 2014-2015 season. Actually, this deal gives the Knicks $4 million in extra cap space in the summer of 2015. This for a 2016 draft pick which, between the Knicks and Nuggets, will probably be in the 20s. Not saying it's the best trade in the world, but…

They used their amnesty on Chauncey Billups, used that cap space to get Tyson Chandler.

Knicks aren't getting cap space until the Melo/Chandler/Amare contracts expire in 2015, so who cares if they add more salary in the interim? At least Bargnani has the potential to be something more than a 3-point specialist who forgets how to shoot in the playoffs or a 60-year-old backup center who didn't get any…

I had extended ear issues following a flight pretty recently and it turned out to be a eustachian tube blockage that was caused by something called a Tornwaldt cyst. No big deal, although I spent a couple of weeks convinced that I had nasopharyngeal carcinoma. I really hate google when I have an undiagnosed medical…

Thanks for that. Tepid defense of him withdrawn.

In his defense (not that he needs, or deserves, me to defend him), I'm pretty sure he called their wedding a "sham" because the brides said they did it "to make money for the future." I'm really hoping he didn't say it because they're both women.

I think it's possible to hold both views. But it's one of those things where it takes a lot of tact and nuance to express them both (see also: race and crime; privacy and security; Islam and terrorism). Serena's comments to Rolling Stone (if taken at face value; this wouldn't be the first instance of quotes being…
