Also, I still don’t think “people who depend on access to Jim Dolan should be nicer to him” is a point worth making. Do you?

You know what, I’ll cop to it. Your comments didn’t have my full attention when I was reading them and I misinterpreted what you were saying. My apologies. At the same time though, calm down eh?

Is “reporters should do a better job preserving their access and shouldn’t report the facts if they embarrass the powerful” really the hill you want to die on? On this site?

Yes. When you say “old ways,” you’re talking about luring free agents to the Knicks with the promise of the bright lights of the mecca, right?

Maybe. Given the time frame and the people involved though, doesn’t it seem more likely that Dolan got his feelings hurt by KP’s questioning the direction of the franchise and then rashly traded him for the first available offer later in the day?

Just because it turned out to be wrong four years later doesn’t mean it wasn’t for a good reason.

Agreed.  Don’t overthink it man, you done good!

This comment has everything. Making light of Drew’s life-threatening health scare, your parents having sex, eggs...

GUESS WHO’S BACK! GUESS WHO’S BACK GUESS WHO’S BACK GUESS WHO’S BACK GUESS WHO’S BACK!

“Are missed kicks up as much as they feel like they are?”

You’ve got to be too young to remember Barry Bonds in his prime, right? He’s not “more famous for doing drugs than famous for his on-field acomplishments.” He’s Barry Fucking Bonds! He got intentionally walked with the bases loaded! In the bottom of the ninth with his team down two! And it was the right call!

14 time All-Star, 5 time World Series champ, 3,465 hits and the face of baseball for most of his 20-year career - Derek Jeter was fine, I guess.

Wait, am I doing it wrong? I’ve been throwing mine over my shoulder like a continental soldier.  

This is more of a Shelbyville idea.  

One thing Drew wrote last year(about John Krakauer’s biography of Pat Tillman) that has stuck with me ever since:

Get your battery replaced! I know that Cinderella feeling well - a month ago it took 10% of the battery of my 6S to ride in an elevator from my hotel room to a Lyft, and now for $29 I basically have a new phone. But you need to do it in the next month before they jack up the price again.

Come on. There is no way Matthew Stafford lives in Detroit.

New Hampshire has the most beautiful mountains on the east coast. Delaware has at best the second nicest beaches in the mid-Atlantic.
