Take on celebrity row

The only thing that can unite New Yorkers more than the Knicks play during this run is their disdain for celebrities sitting on the floor at the Garden. Taylor Swift got a lot of crap for being a fair weather fan after she was see at the Cavs series with Kelce who was rooting for his hometown team. The thing is that because tickets are so expensive, everybody wants to complain that it's a haves vs have nots but what they don't relate is that a top event is never actually affordable in the last three decades.

Take on James Dolan

Nobody is more easily hatable than James Dolan. One day he invites Trump into his box, the next he cancels the watch party and all the while we have to see him sitting baseline with his tight ass white pants hoping people stare at his little winky.

Take on the parking at the park and ride

Can somebody explain to me why the park and ride has decided to block off half the parking lot while there are no games going out. They are saying it's because of the World Cup but since we have days before that, what is the point of making it miserable for commuters to come in on a non World Cup game day. This entire World Cup is going to be a pain in ass on game days, why also make it a pain on a non World Cup day.

Take on Brendan Sorsby

The Brendan Sorsby saga is everything that is wrong with our DraftKings society. We don't mind if our sports heroes are murders, drunks or worse but better on sports is the ultimate no-no. It tells you what we care about as a country, or at least what we used to care about...integrity. But then again, we've given up on that also.

Take on t he NBA finals tickets

This Knicks postseason has been incredible and the drought they've gone through has made the city explode with the dream of a return to glory. But prices to get to The Garden is all anybody talks about...and for good reason. The crazy thing is that people complain about the Super Bowl or the World Series being full of corporate suits which is why those events don't feel authentic and are not nearly as loud as they could be. But somehow those $10,000 nosebleed seats which almost no New Yorker can afford don't seem to bring the same fear of rich out of touch helicopter fans coming in and muffling the crowd

take on Trump in the Garden.

The only thing that can kill this Knick run is by Trump coming to game 3. This will bring so much security, so little value and endless lines and nobody in NYC wants him there. This is exactly what will happen when he gets booed mercilessly

Take on Blanche’s refusal to stop the ban on Trump's tax audits

You've got to be kidding me. Trump's slush fund is rightfully getting sunk but his immunity for tax evasion is going to stick? I don't know how store Blanche justifies any of this other than to say he's Don's consigliere which is probably not far from the truth. But this is what you get when you let the inmates run the asylum, great job America

Take on the slush fund

Trump is backing off of his slush fund as everybody other than a hundred or so J6 rioters see it for the payoff it is. There haven't been too many situations where Trump has felt the weight of political pressure but I guess this one is hitting him like a happy meal hits his gut. Let's just hope we have enough political will in this country to set to push back on more than just this blatant for of corruption

Take on the worst president ever.

I just can't with this administration. It's been 5 1/2 years of Trump in office and everything he ever campaigned against is now something he does blatantly and without remorse. He wanted to drain the swamp, he knocked Hunter Biden for using his family connections to get lucrative contracts, he claimed the DOJ was weaponized, he said no to endless middle eastern wars, he claimed to be against regime change, he claimed to never be sleepy. This entire 14 year stretch from when he descended from the escalator till he eventually is forced out, will go down as the darkest days of the 250 years of the presidency.

Take on a weird lag in the economy

I honestly don't understand how the US economy hasn't suffered more under Trump. We know the tariffs, the trade was, the lack of real oversight etc should give people pause but somehow we keep humming along. But the lack of tourism has to start hitting the economic numbers. You see less tourist in NYC, I was in Vegas a few months ago and it felt dead. I had friends who were near the Canadian border on a boat and they said the marinas were empty. It can't go on like this and. It hit our bottom line.

Take on Mike Brown's mismatched outfit

This Knicks postseason run has been amazing and has brought such life back to a once proud organization. It's a team with good chemistry likable players and great tenacity. It also is a team whose head coach wears a black quarter zip with pants that aren't the same tint of black. I don't know what it is but my OCD brain cannot look at this without constantly thinking that he just dress in the dark and that's coming from somebody who is one of the worst dressed humans you've ever met.

Nothing irks me more than the world telling us we need to use mass transit and then mass transit using the opportunity to rip you off.

The bus ride just increased by about 25% and I'm sure this isn't the end.

When you commute into NYC five days a week, there are days that suck more than others.

Take on the Trump’s Government Moves to Spare Trump

The corruption is so blatant that it's hard to get worked up because nobody seems to be hiding anything anymore. When Trump got his lifelong get-out-of-jail card from his own agency, we knew it was over. We no longer have a functioning government, we no longer stand for anything virtuous, we no longer are a country to be envied. We are nothing more than the kind of third world deeply corrupt dictatorships we claim to fight against.

Take on Bud Heavy

It's 100 degrees outside, the Knicks are in the Eastern Conference finals and nobody is bothering me. This is the time I go to my fridge and grab a beer. I typically do IPA's but on a hot summer day I don't mind something lighter. My fridge is usually stocked but today I'm digging in the back and pull out a Bud Heavy which is the only thing I have that isn't something brutal like a Yuengling. I have had three Bud Heavies in the last thirty years and I'm immediately reminded of why. This thing tastes like that Yuengling filtered through my gym socks. It's an absolutely flavorless bottle of Clydesdale piss.

The corruption from Trump is so blatant that we've now just become immune to any feelings about it. I can't believe he has done it but over the last decade he has made us forget our values and morals and now whenever he does something we just collectively shrug. It's like the entire country has just given up as it all feels completely preordained and predictable.

That sounds like an incredible number until you realize we routinely sold them over $20billion before Trump started playing chicken. He flew half way across the globe to come back with a worse deal than we had before he came into office and still the sycophantic media will praise him for tying his shoes.

Why would a man ever walk out of the house for something longer than to take the garbage out wearing shoes without socks?

It is the look that screams, not only am I most certainly a flaccid ape, you won't be able to sit in the same room with me after I take these off. A man's feet should never be sock-less in a close toed shoe, I will take no further questions.
