That time Ohio State missed a game-winning FG right as the New Year's ball dropped was wild.

It's the final day of MetroCard sales—so as we say farewell to an icon, let's take a look at how it all started. Thank you, MetroCard, for moving New York to the very last swipe.

An absolute favorite Rain Delay YES Network Booth Hang. Also a big part of both comebacks in Games 6 & 7 of the 1986 World Series: leadoff PH 1B and tying run in 8th inning of Game 6 and PH 1B to spark the tying 3-run rally in the 6th inning of Game 7

Feels like a lot of first-time voters this year. Could just be that they’re understandably eager to make their ballots public, but I wonder if there was a boost in membership or something in 2015-16. Beltrán will almost certainly get in this time. Does Jones jump from 66% to 75% this year?

32 Seconds of Sandy Koufax's Curveballs.

NFC scenarios for next week Craziest thing would be Bucs beating the Panthers on Saturday only to watch the Falcons beat the Saints on Sunday to send the Panthers to the playoffs anyway

Holy cow, don’t know if I’ve ever seen the guy blocking it just grab it right out of the air and run it all the way back

The Atlanta Falcons when it doesn't matter

Already quite a buzz in Brooklyn for Steph Curry. Drawing a crowd for warmups an hour before the game.

All the guys dropping when it’s over like it’s the end of a playoff game. What a finish. Like Rams/Seahawks or Packers/Bears, sign me up for a rematch in January.

This game rules…how do we keep it going? Bears TD, 49ers FG, 45-45 to OT

Second NFL game tied at 7, 14, 21, 28 & 35…here’s the first:

“The Chicago Cubs have won a game more recently than the New York Giants” WELL NOT ANYMORE

Sandwiched by 4 Anunoby free throws to win the game Knicks are 22-9, tied for their 3rd-best 31-game start in franchise history. The only better starts were in their championship seasons in 1969-70 (27-4) and 1972-73 (24-7).

In the span of 6 Guys, we've seen 2 of the 5 players to play 9 positions in a game (Tovar this morning and now Halter) Bert Campaneris (1965 A's) Cesar Tovar (1968 Twins) Scott Sheldon (2000 Rangers) Shane Halter (2000 Tigers) Andrew Romine (2017 Tigers)

December 22, 1994: Minnesota's Isaiah Rider with the "play of the decade" (according to Greg Kelser) in Sacramento. Kings 109, Timberwolves 89.

Farewell, MetroCard. This is a great piece. I was a tap-and-go holdout until my 14 St station MetroCard machine was suddenly removed one day. To be honest, tapping credit card is easy. But when I heard one of the voiceover announcements this week say “Good riddance,” I thought it was really mean.

Right when Bird was talking about Badgley getting cut for missing an extra point!

Incredible interview from DJ Moore 🫡

HOLY SHSDRFCVYGHJJ BEARS

Nice seam-shifted wake on that Santos FG

RIP to a great Fun Fact Eagles win the NFC East again Most Consecutive Seasons Without Repeat Division Champion NFL/MLB/NBA/NHL 20 NFC East 2005-2024 19 Adams/Northeast 1992-2011 (no 2005) 13 NL West 1979-1991 13 AFC West 1988-2000 12 NL East 1979-1990 11 NFC South 2003-2013 10 AL East 1982-1991

Birth name: McLean Dowler Reason for nickname: saw a Taco Bell and decided his name was also Taco 406mtsports.com/high-school/...

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

and yet

Also a tie helps the Rams, not the Seahawks

Already USA’s best pitching staff yet, right?

Perhaps he was reincarnated

Nostalgia in remembering the greats and forgetting the rest. Here are the starting QBs from 25 years ago this week:

Mets acquiring former Yankees since David Stearns took over before the 2024 season: Manager Carlos Mendoza Luis Severino Harrison Bader Adam Ottavino Ben Gamel Frankie Montas Clay Holmes Juan Soto Rico Garcia Devin Williams Luke Weaver

Kowtowing to Mad Dog & Wilbon. Then tear down the Atlantic Division titles and banners for Billy Joel, Harry Styles & Phish!

Seems like one for @brykno.bsky.social: Bucs/Panthers split Sunday & Week 18, Bucs would win a common-games tiebreaker for the NFC South But! If they split H2H, lose their middle games (TB at MIA & CAR vs SEA), AND the Falcons win out (at ARZ, vs LAR, vs NO), Panthers would win a 3-way tie at 8-9?

Open positions include third base, shortstop, DH, and at least half the bullpen

Loved that 1017 Bamps team

i have always loved and cared about the nba cup

This Knicks/Spurs NBA Cup Final is fantastic

I found something Aaron Judge does worse than any other hitter in MLB. @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

If my one ride on the 4 train just now is any indication, more records are coming

here you better take this

This but on a huge board in a packed theater or in the middle of Herald Square. Long live the Play-o-Graph!

Genuinely worried about him. Just play Riley Leonard, how bad could he be?

Doesn’t seem like @pitchingninja.com shared this video here, so here’s a video of his Yesavage/Rogers overlay

HOW 🤯

For any young broadcasters who follow me here, just learned that there are broadcast assistant/media relations openings at Triple-A El Paso, Double-A Somerset, Double-A Portland. Those are three stops where you would be working in great front offices with absolutely top-tier broadcasters. Go apply!

This is just like when Victor II made sure that the Duchy of Swabia got the #1 pick in the 1056 Draft

20 YEARS AGO TODAY: Tracy McGrady scores 13 PTS in the the game's final 35 seconds to give the Rockets a comeback victory over San Antonio. McGrady had 33 PTS/8 REB/5 STL and Yao Ming added 27 PTS/10 REB in Houston's 81-80 win. Tim Duncan had 26 PTS/18 REB/7 BLK to lead the Spurs. December 9, 2004

Figured the Phillies would bring him back. Schwarber has 340 career homers, how many will he hit across his age 33-37 seasons?

“The 2025 Chiefs have the lowest explosive rush rate on RB carries among all seasons since 2000 (2.6%). The 2024 Chiefs were third lowest (2.8%).” They’re 1-6 in one-score games and they don’t run the ball well.
