Thank you for all of the amazing feedback It felt great to be back in the building. Today was monumental for me and I can’t wait till November 9 to start with @EvanRobertsWFAN Plus @7BOOMERESIASON is now buying me a pony and I’m getting my shortstop spot back. What a perfect day.

Hey @woodyjohnson4 perhaps it’s time to take the best offer, pocket $8 Billion move to London and give Jets fans the hope that a new owner would change things. We deserve so much better than this and maybe roll back those ticket price increases for next year as well.

Ohtani story is a real problem 1- $ being wired to bookie warrants immediate suspension it violates CBA 2- Claiming theft means his friend is facing jail time 3- Compulsive gambler losing like that would try to get whole by betting on sport he knows most which would be baseball.

As some of you know I’ve been interviewing World War II heroes so that their stories are never forgotten. I met Warren two weeks ago and am sad to say he passed away this morning. It was an privilege to be in his presence and an honor to share his story. May he never be forgotten

two different aspects to this -1 - yes its great Yankees and Mets and Kyrie can play because the rule that prevented it was indeed stupid 2 - how do we not let the 1400 blue collar New York City workers who were fired get their jobs back - its not right - and they need a voice.

Im cool w/pros playing in the Olympics but we don't need Lebron or Coco as flag bearers, how bout a legit amateur athlete who will never get to play pro at his/her chosen sport and it wasn't that long ago that Lebron refused to stand for the anthem - just sayin-have a blessed day.

We should all take a moment today to put aside our differences and remember the thousands of innocent people lost on 9/11/2001. 23 years later, their memories should be honored and never forgotten. To those of you who protect us at home and abroad I simply say thank you. 🙏.

MLB playoff format is set fans gonna love it - 7 playoff teams per league - Team with best record gets bye and goes to Div Series - Top remaining Div Winner picks opponent from the 4 wild card teams and plays best of three all games at home - Then the 3rd Div winner does the same.

As much as I supported Judge being let go it makes me sick that people went 2 his house to video or photograph him. Shitty violation of his and his families right to some decency and privacy. We don’t need 2 know nor see what he’s having delivered or bringing into his home.

So in this series Embid has attacked Mitchel Robinson and taken him out for at least one game, elbowed Brunson in the face and stomped on Harts leg and when the Sixers needed him most he disappeared in 4th quarter and that’s his legacy as well as never getting past 2nd round.

looks like my main man @7BOOMERESIASON was right and Mayor Adams is going to announce that Kyrie, Yankees and Mets can play at home - thats why you never take shots at someone until things are official bad job by my partner Evan and big Mac.

Knicks gave us something we haven’t had in a long time. Basketball is back at MSG. Losing sucks for sure but couldn’t be happier with this season and playoff run. Hard to win when everybody is out and other team shoots 76%. Pacers earned it and I’m good with that. GO Knicks.
