When the NY Giants cut my favorite player (Simms) 20+ years ago I stopped rooting for them. When Mark Messier made a big show about being a Ranger for Life and not caring if he was the highest-paid player on the team and almost immediately took more $ to play in Vancouver, I was done with them. And when the Knicks…

Mint flavoring belongs in one thing: mints. Mint cookies, mint liquors, mint milk, mint ice cream, mint chocolates are all garbage. I don’t want my cookies to taste like damn Certs, thank you very little.

Everyone watches all the antiques shows on TV and thinks anything 40 years old is gonna put their kids through college. And most decent antique furniture is vastly overpriced - like a multiple of 5 or 10.

When I was a kid my neighbor was on the NYPD and took us to the Police/Firemen hockey game at MSG. You have never seen anything like this outside of Slapshot. Rescue Me totally undersold the violence. These lunatics just beat on each other for hours, and the drunks in the stands were worse. It was awesome.

Maybe not tax-FREE, but no one is reporting it all.

Did ESPN not know 8 out of 10 times this would be the case? A 12-year-old could predict ratings would plummet on New Years Eve. Network execs really are among the stupidest people alive.

“Stay away from pick a number between 1 through 10 and War.”

If my wife ever saw that machine I am not certain I would ever get her off of it.

That whole thing is nonsensical, but it’s even worse at low-stakes tables. I was killing time on a weekday afternoon playing low stakes blackjack and being bored and drunk I started making slightly unorthodox moves, much to the chagrin of a guy on the other side of the table who started huffing and grumbling and…

Peterson is multiples worse than Rice. Rice’s punching bag CHOSE to run around with him (and marry him, after). She is a grown woman with agency who could have walked away at any time. She started their altercation. By all appearances, she is as garbage a person as Ray. Peterson’s victim is a BABY. That imbecile beat…

Baseball will always have a place as the thinking person’s game. The strategy on every single pitch, what transpires over the course of a season and longer, all contribute to make it the best sport.

All of what BTO guy says about Piazza is true. (Read his book, he was a workout fiend.)

That IS the mentality. And to be honest, if Willie Mays or Hank Aaron wasn’t unanimous, who should be? It doesn’t bother me that Jr wasn’t unanimous, and all right-thinking people pray YeahJeet won’t be the first.

Speaking of douchey Giants no one likes, how does Jeff Kent not even get talked about for the HoF? I don’t recall his name appearing on any of the PED lists. He had some ridiculous years out there, and is clearly one of the greatest-hitting 2B of all time. Is being a massive tool enough to keep one out of Cooperstown?

Someone somewhere will carry on about Jeter’s defensive mediocrity and that he was never the best in his league and blah blah and withhold his vote. And that will be just fine with me.

Big Mets fan here. I loved Carter and was happy to see him get into the HoF, and deservedly as an Expo. As great as he was in NY in 85 and 86, his Met career just doesn’t warrant a retired number. He’s got a plaque in the Mets Hall of Fame and a place in our hearts, that’s enough.

One weeknight this season I drove home to southern SI from a game at Citifield in 45 minutes. The next night I took public trans home and it took almost 3 hours. I love when they say in the promos “Hey fans, be sure to take public transportation to the game tomorrow!” Yeah, because I want to spend 6 hours riding the…

From Staten Island it would be a train, ferry, train, train and bus. Minimum three hours. I would never even remotely consider it.

Danny Amendola should die a thousand excruciating deaths, like drowning in excrement, over and over like Groundhog Day. I missed out on my leagues final (which I would have won handily), losing my semi-final game by ONE POINT. Because ol Pretzel-Body couldn’t just not show up. Or fail to record a catch. Recording a…

Maybe he hangs out with Ray Handley.
