The Knicks!! My husband, ace Knicks supporter and critic, died fairly recently. He managed to time it between the Dodgers (ace supporter and critic again) win the World Series -- and we celebrated wildly -- and the T sadly also wins.

And now, the Knicks! I am letting him know and hope he is listening.

Thank you for this.

Thank you for sharing your empathy for our wonderful former President, President Joe Biden. I feel so bad for him and his family and will always be grateful for his fine, caring qualities.

Loved the thoughtful interchange and I’m not even a sports fan. Thanks, Jen, for bringing Pablo’s presence and perspective to the Contrarian community!

I remember Dr. Oz in Pittsburgh before the election telling people to vote early that Sunday "after the Steelers game" - when the Steelers were on a bye that week. Just one more example of his lame phoniness.

You are so right. I keep crying like a family member who has received this diagnosis or any human who has received any difficult decree. I love how two young men can speak forthrightly about the humanity of this tragic life occurrence for President Biden and the utter cruelty of the orange turd and his sycophancy. Which shape ball season are we in? Nicks, ny? Is that basketball? Round ball? Why don’t we use the Irish pronunciation of celtic? Keltic!!! At least we call a small harp Celtic (keltic). Éirren go Brách. I love how you bring the orange turd into your conversation filled with a bad taste. How did we ever elect him? The consequences will be greater than you young people will ever know. But good on you, I am impressed. Hang on, we are in for the monster ride of our lives.

To Democrats what are you offering in contrast...... if a voter, the American people don't get what Democrats offered in contrast to a candidate T who tried to steal the 2020 election, then such a voter is beyond the pale. I think I heard Daniel Koh explain his role in the Biden administration as translating and implementing at the local level programs that really would make a difference in peoples well being. Isn't that all about "what you are offering in contrast"? The Biden administration not only could offer but could point to important legislation that was making a difference. Proof tangible. Getting a little rambling here, but when Mr. Koh talked about base lines of humanity, he stood for values respected in the Biden administration and Democrats I most admire. Is it possible that those values, that humanity, that core of DEI is missing in too many Americans who have no interest in what Democrats offer as long as Democrats care about DEI.

The initial news report I read is that Nick Saban asked Trump to form a commission on NIL. My first thought was Saban must have bought into Trump's cryptocurrency because Trump is always out to make a profit. But Dan is saying that Saban claims to have known nothing about a commission until Trump announced it?
