This. I played competitive pickup hoops every weekend. My knees used to hurt until Wednesday. It was suggested that I stop after a skiing mishap.

He was going to be a backup. Maybe he felt that his skills had declined to the point where it wasn't fun anymore.

Infuriating Mets trend starting to add up — and a reckoning could be coming It isn’t just that this was the 53rd time this season the Mets have trailed after eight innings, and the 53rd time they have lost.

Column: what the #Mets have been as a baseball team across their first 130 games is best summarized by a golf saying as old as a niblick: “Drive for show, putt for dough.” That is not a compliment. nypost.com/2025/08/24/s...

A pibull wears a cowboy hat and has a pipe in her mouth while wearing Mets gear. A quote under it from Christina Shusterich, a dog behavior specialist who reviewed videos of Sushi aka Mets Dog: “The fact that that dog hasn’t died is kind of amazing.”

From @theathletic.com: Mets Dog, aka Sushi the pitbull, is a fixture outside Citi Field. She is cute, friendly, and fans pay to pose with her. She hardly moves for hours at a time.

Many allege that they’re witnessing dog abuse, couched as a harmless photo op.

Mikey is having a bad day. Awww.

It seemed like every ball that the Mets hit in this series was hit right at someone. There isn’t anyone on the current team who tries to go the other way.

Can’t wait to see the fiscal hawks’ reaction to the price.

Don't. Do. It. The Knicks are working to build a core. Putting that aside for one year of an aging James would be a mistake. The Lakers aren't going to give him up for a rack of basketballs.

Paramount has joined Disney in paying bribes to Donald Trump, the Washington Post killed its Harris endorsement, Fox News functions as Republican state media, and the X algorithm amplifies fascist content. Here's why the media has a liberal bias problem.

Are Achilles injuries becoming more common because of early-career attrition? Sneaker choices? The strain the modern game puts on players?

We asked a Hall of Famer and medical experts to weigh in: http://dlvr.it/TLd06p

Seems like many of these players have a calf strain or similar issue before the tear happens. Should there be more caution taken after the first injury happens?

Hegseth after the presser: “Uhh…how’d I do, boss?”

One thing that came through with Mamdani - empathy in public life. Especially now. That may be the real story of last night. People do need some hope to cut the anger.

Marc Elias: Trump is targeting cities to weaponize government against the vote!

Sad to hear this news. Sly Stone played multiple instruments he was a 1960s version of Prince. Check out Summer of Soul.

California sues Trump over National Guard deployment during ICE protests in Los Angeles, citing no invasion or rebellion. Link in thread

I stand with California and Governor Gavin Newsom.

There is no riot. There is no emergency. The National Guard needs to be recalled — now.

🚨 NEW: California is suing the Trump administration for illegally deploying the state’s National Guard.

Trump and Musk's relationship flames out just as intensely and publicly as it started President Donald Trump is threatening to cut Elon Musk’s government contracts as their fractured alliance rapidly escalated into a public feud.

WASHINGTON (AP) for the win. 👏👏

"Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s alliance took off like one of SpaceX’s rockets. It was supercharged and soared high.

And then it blew up."

Where’s the Indy team that beat the Knicks?

The DNC trolls Trump with a Taco Truck outside the RNC Headquarters! Wrapped in the image of Trump in a chicken suit!!

Trump may not appreciate the name but the TACO is a hit!

This. And the stars as well. I had a Cavs playoff game on in the background during Lebron's second run. It seemed like every other word from the announcers was Lebron! He's great but there are nine other players on the court.

Give him credit for helping turn the franchise around. Over time his positives became negatives. A fresh voice will help.

Trump is forcing states to funnel grant money to Starlink, Senate Democrats say Overhaul of $42 billion program could delay deployment for years, Democrats warn.

The corruption runs deep.

Looking at you, Mike Lawler.

Nesmith has at least 10 fouls

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.
