"let's see Mets twitter...Stearns discourse, Alonso talk, we didn't sign alonso, alvarez still good, Stearns bad, Alonso should've stayed a met..."
Could David Stearns and the Mets front office benefit from adding another voice? nytimes.com/athletic/7525461…

No joke, leaving your house and returning home safely 24/7 is something to give God thanks for.

8 people died in Flatbush, including 2 children, in a building with 98 open violations
@NYCMayor celebrated "safety" in wealthy, gentrified Greenpoint
Real safety means enforcement where it's needed most, not photo ops where it’s needed least
Inequity in NYC is heartbreaking
The McGuinness Blvd redesign is finished, @nycmayor announces. It’s at the center of a bribery case against one of former Mayor Eric Adams’s top aides

This is comically bad. They’re being very careful and selective of what they’re saying/showing and how they’re delivering it. This is going to be ugly if they’re trying to sway fan/public support weeks before they even lock us out. At the end of the day- they want to drive down salaries and put more money in the pockets of billionaires. Nobody wins except them. Simple as that. It’s not about competition. It’s never been about competition for them, it just is a nice cover up.

Idiots on this thread think Schaefer is why the isles are up 65% in value and not the recent sale of ownership shares that brought in more than expected
CNBC released its NHL valuations today. Toronto leads at $5.4B, the Islanders jumped 65%, and all 32 teams gained value.
The part I find more interesting: average team value rose 23%, revenue rose 6%, and EBITDA fell 11%.
CNBC points to recent stake sales, higher media rights fees and potential expansion, along with continued demand from buyers for a limited number of teams.
Put together a few charts on where the gains went and what CNBC says is behind them.
Chart 1: How much each team gained.
All 32 increased in value, adding $16.4B combined. The Islanders had the biggest jump at $1.18B (+65%), followed by Toronto at $1.1B and Philadelphia at $1B.

Wow, sounds like the small ownership groups who are all worth a billion or more should start being more interested in these guys

It’s happening - folks are starting to call out Zohran for taking credit for others work ! His genius strategy has been to take credit for the Adams administration (council and mayor) policy - while his tax payer funded social media army spreads the misinformation…
Meanwhile he has signed the least amount of Bills of ANY nyc mayor over several decades! He’s extremely inefficient, but great at PR

Yet us #isles who actually know the game still have to scroll through many fellow fans with their heads up their asses trashing the GM daily for trading for Schenn...mind you he waived his NTC to come here. (MUTE em all)
Victor Eklund to @alanfuehring on what's allowing him to find the back of the net right now:
"I have no idea."
Talked about playing with Schenn. Said he didn't know he was a legend until he looked him up and saw he won a Cup. Loves playing with him.

Schenn has been unreal. Time to stop treating that trade as a bust. Homer might be finally having that breakout year we’ve wished for. On pace for 30+ goals. Eklund the real deal. Schaef, Eklund, Homer, Ritchie, Maccelli too. Might be a young core to finally build around. #isles

Is it time to end rent control?
Clarence Thomas LFG!!!!!
@JKetcham91
The State of New York has now factually zeroed out the value of a collection of previously valuable Rent Stabilized buildings. The auction produced no bids on 14 out of 15 properties. John, does this mean the Penn Central test has been met? Is the law now a facial uncompensated act of eminent domain?

Gotta give Schenn his respect. He’s been really good so far this season. Makes me even more excited to see this forward group with Barzal next week. Will really help balance out the lines.
