My take on this has changed. I used to be like ‘get over it, it’s a job.’ But the way our leadership has destroyed the economy, most people who have to commute are merely working to afford to work. So, while I’m not sympathetic - I’m more empathetic than I used to be.
El Presidente has raised nearly $2M for the family of this hero.
The President of the United States hasn’t said a word.
Can we start to honor and remember the good guys?
Artemi Panarin now has 233 points in 174 regular season games with the Rangers since signing his contract. In the modern era of sports, he’s in the conversation as a best performing free agency signing in New York sports history. No early struggles. Came to NY and got better.

Calling him, or anyone, misogynistic, based on accusations (term used under the photo) — with zero evidence (that has been made public to my knowledge) is so on trend for 2023. The goal of this to get Portnoy to publicly address this and get it some attention.
Orlando Magic’s Jonathan Isaac says he isn’t getting the covid vaccine because he has natural immunity and data shows he isn’t at risk at all from covid. Well said:
All these bandwagon Rangers fans or whatever they are throwing in the towel now. Might they lose? Of course. They’re suppose to lose to Tampa. But- to go win a road game with Igor Shesterkin? Why not. Get it done.

Delgado finished with 473 homers and an average season for him was 38 and 120. And he didn’t last more than one year on the HOF ballot. One of the biggest crimes with that process.
Pete Alonso is 28. He led the NL in RBIs last season with 131. He currently leads the NL in HRs and RBIs this season. Every 162 games, he averages 46 HRs and drives in 117 runs. This doesn’t crack Top 10 under 30. Okie dokie.
I’ve never seen Rangers fans comment and analyze a contract (good or bad) like we’ve seen with Barclay Goodrow. Guys, they added a 3rd/4th line player and signed him long term. It’s the first of many, many moves. And it’s a positive one. Chill the fuck out.

Hey

Jacob Blake is still alive, not dead. And he was shot by police because he had a knife, refused to drop it, and a woman he’d sexually assaulted called police asking for protection. This is embarrassing

You’re right on the name calling but you’re acting like Newsom is some great uniter of people. He’s likely the worst governor in the United States. He comes off angry, racist and like he hates the American population.
While I am far removed from sports radio, my opinion is that newer hosts all around the country overthink 99% of shows.
@sal_licata
is not that. He’s ‘old school.’ Turn on the mic. React. And go. Natural talent will shine. Sal is that. Congrats to a long time friend on his gig.
One of my favorite things about this call was that he didn’t lie to me on the phone about what he wanted to talk about. I thought it was a fair question.

This is incredible. Imagine being this sensitive/disrespectful. Syndergaard’s act was fun for a while but now he brings less to the table than a one armed waiter. Getting into a war of words with zero substance will be much like his Mets career, a lot losing.
@MikeFrancesa
Only thing you've ever won is being a gas-bag Mets hating opportunist. All you've done is talk shit and spread toxic crap for a career. Congrats again sweetie, you're doing great.
Mets officially eliminated from the playoffs. I’ve played this game for a long time (a Mets fan), and sit at the adults table. Thanks for the memories. Goodnight da lights.
Chris Kreider turning into a trash talking, hard hitting, angry prick now when he plays hockey is my favorite storyline of the Rangers season thus far.
#LGR
When you have Igor Shesterkin, anything is possible, but the Rangers and Drury acquiring Barclay Goodrow and Ryan Reaves have been major factors to where they are in the standings.
#LGR
The Rangers earned home ice for THIS game tonight. All the nonsense of this series means nothing now. Go out, and win because you earned it. Dominate the game. Win because you’re better. Make them regret even winning a game in the series.

A morning reminder that
@KeithOlbermann
wanted and was OK with Aaron Rodgers getting injured merely because Rodgers researched and questioned if the Covid vaccine was right for him. You know, the virus that was harmless for 99.9% of people of Rodgers age and conditioning.
According to ESPN, all of the players in the NHL with Covid have either no symptoms or have very mild symptoms of Covid. What are we doing here? Come back to Earth.
Thank you Sam Rosen and Joe Micheletti for another great season. Will miss the hell out of you. Hopefully

Bob Boone just confirmed he and the Nationals are “unfortunately” parting ways because he will not get the covid-19 vaccine. He has been with the Nats front office since 2005.
Just watched the Mike and the Mad Dog 30 for 30 for the 1000th time on ESPN+. There was nothing like the 90’s with no Twitter, and just the papers and Mike and the Dog.
The Rangers are fucking pissed at Subban. And even though Subban is not a dirty player, they know the deal from last year. Like it or hate it, it’s the attitude they need. Love that from Kreider.

I just got a text that Rick Wolff passed away. Long time Sundays, AM on WFAN. I got to know him pretty well over the years — really bummed. Good man. RIP, sir.
There is a generation of youngsters that thinks John Madden was just a guy who made video games. He was the best at that. And the undisputed best in the booth. He was football.

My wife, the boss, is in Florida for work. Just gave this speech to 5 of the 7 kids as I put them to bed upstairs: ‘Listen, it’s Rangers - Hurricanes tonight. I want to watch intently, so unless you’re bleeding, stay in bed until you fall asleep. All the love.’
#LGR
Another big boy win by the Rangers, still without Kakko and Strome. Get those early points. I can’t tell you how good they’ll be all season, but Gallant has made the Rangers a bitch to play against. And that I think we can expect all season.
#LGR
Easily the worst broadcasted hockey game of the year today. No problem with McD and Ferraro. The production team should be mortified about the lack to awareness and what hockey fans watching want to see — which by the way, is the game at a normal angle. A fucking joke.
I think we all knew deep within our hearts that Dave Chappelle was the hero we needed to go to war with the embarrassing pandemic known as ‘cancel culture.’
Much like everyone, have a million Steve Somers stories. Worked w/ him as producer for 5 years. I’ll shoot some out today. When I interned back in 2004, and met Steve for the first time he said, with a smile, ‘Welcome, you are now a member of the WFAN family.’
Can’t tell ya how great it felt to go to multiple stores yesterday without a mask on. Also — there were plenty of folks still wearing a mask, and by choice, that’s perfectly fine.
They’ve been helping society by safely getting passengers to and from locations around the country at 500+ MPH at 35k feet above the ground. Stop w/ the hate against those who choose not to get vaccinated, when 190M folks are fully vaxxed. (I am vaccinated). It’s a choice.
Reminder:
@SouthwestAir
accepted $3.2 BILLION from taxpayers. That money kept its pilots employed during the pandemic. It also made
@SouthwestAir
the first airline to post a profit. And now, apparently, many of those pilots don’t want to help society by getting vaccinated.
Waiting for our President,
@JoeBiden
to apologize to a minor for calling him unforgivable things, which a lot of people do these days, and no one cares and there’s no punishment for.
You know what’s not the end of the world? John Sterling, a older dude who calls baseball games (and loves it) on the radio with a lot of charm and joy, messing up a few calls during the season. You hear it, you laugh for a minute and move on.
The Giants interviewed Leslie Frazier, Patrick Graham and Brian Flores. You want to say the league has an issue, fine, but the Giants seemingly did their part.
How would
@NYRangers
fans feel if they didn’t do anything today. Add Kakko and Rooney into the mix in a few weeks. I still think they’d be in position to be a very difficult out in the playoffs.

Blockbuster: The Mets make the biggest move of the deadline adding multiple Cy Young Award winning pitcher Jacob DeGrom to their roster in exchange of a year of patience from their loyal fans.
I love all these commercials on MSG with Rangers fans with a jersey hung in their den as huge fans. I’m sure they are. Talk to me after you’ve named 8 goddamn kids after Rangers players/legends.
#LGR
Forget his ‘no firm answer’ comment (aka, I’ll see what the White House wants me to say) but… ‘we will have to sit down and discuss this.’ I mean, what the fuck are they waiting for?
Dr. Fauci was finally asked why people with natural immunity should be required to get the covid vaccine given studies that show we have more protection.
Imagine showing this Giants / Jets game to the rest of the planet and explaining to them that we watch this all day every Sunday for 20+ weeks of the year for fun.

Money over Morals for the “King” 👑
Sad & disgusting how these athletes pretend they care about social justice
They really do “shut up & dribble” when Big Boss 🇨🇳 says so
Did you educate yourself about the slave labor that made your shoes or is that not part of your research?
The reality of the great Jacob deGrom: Unreliable. He’s the best. He’s unreliable. I’d be stunned and pleasantly surprised if he pitches 8 games this season. If you can get a Chris Paddack/Eric Hosmer for Dom Smith, it’s a steal. I’d question the Padres on that one.

Speaking strictly as a father to multiple daughters, if you’re a politician or someone fighting FOR biological men to compete in sport and/or change in the locker rooms with biological women, you’re either knowingly lying to yourself to justify it, or are merely just afraid to…
With Igor Shesterkin out and now Jonathan Quick hurt, I think that leaves Tommy DeVito to get the start against the Wild tomorrow night for the Rangers.
