Anybody remember the George Foreman-Ron Lyle fight from about 50 years ago? This Bills-Patriots game feels pretty similar.

Howard Stern.
Apparently, if you can see a fish, you're left-brained, and if you can see two people holding hands, you're right-brained. What do you see 🤔

It’s a tremendous testament to the power of sports that here I am, in my 70s, and seeing my old favorites Park, Tkaczuk, Fairbairn, Seiling, Irvine, Villemure, Vickers and any of Emile Francis’ core guys still makes me break out in an excited smile. If only, just once.

Sad to hear of Bobby Rousseau’s passing. He saved the Rangers’ season after Jean Ratelle’s injury, taking his place on the GAG line between Vic Hadfield and Rod Gilbert and helping the team to the 1972 Final. A PP specialist. RIP.

Congratulations to a terrific person.
This story from Pat Lafontaine sums up what it means to be an Islander. Coming to the game today? Please be in your seats by 3:15 for the start of the Ceremony. Be there: https://t.co/vKxdfbgZSU

Dallas Green said about Thompson, “He talks .300 but hits .200.”
@HowieRose Wasn’t Ryan Thompson the key player in that trade and Kent was the other guy ?

This is my favorite tweet of the day. Back in Mott’s day, steroids were probably the least of it.
@HowieRose Great to hear, Howie! Seems Mathieu is a good balance of thoughtful but highly focused and professional. Who will get in the Hall of Fame first - my Donnie Baseball or your Mott the Hoople? Actually think Ian and the guys. They have more advocates. Unless they did steroids.

Turns out that Al Harazin, a marketing guy in a GMs role wound up trading David Cone for a future Hall of Famer and Joe McIlvaine, a solid judge of talent who helped build the 86 Mets traded that same HOFer for past his prime Carlos Baerga and a reserve IFer. Congrats Jeff Kent.

What needs to be sold is not just the uniforms.
@HowieRose So, these #Jets uniforms. I like the helmet, so good enough, but pretty shitty overall, are they trying to sell these or something?

They look nothing like the Jets, which come to think of it is a good thing and probably was the whole idea in the first place.

@HowieRose For those of us too young for this, how did it compare to Harvey Day?

The excitement that Doc produced at Shea Stadium, particularly in his first 2 or 3 seasons is, to this day, unmatched in Mets franchise history. If you’re too young to remember, trust us.

I actually broadcast some basketball games from there for LIU on WNYC (or WNYE, I forget) television during the 1986-87 season. One night they played Marist, and their PBP announcer was a fellow you might have heard of named Mike Breen. Junior’s cheesecake across the street.
@FastbreakHoops5 Long Island University used to play at the once and future Brooklyn Paramount Theater! The theater’s organ console rose out of the floor!

This, to me, was their masterpiece.
The Beatles' sixth album, Rubber Soul, was released in the UK on 3 December 1965. Rubber Soul had advance orders of more than 500,000. It spent 42 consecutive weeks in the charts, including nine at number one. Read all about Rubber Soul here: https://t.co/tw72puTtnG

The enjoyment that you derived listening to Steve on the FAN is revived reading his delightful autobiography. Every page oozes with “Schmooze” and often reveals a side of himself which he rarely, if ever, displayed on the air. You can even read it overnight, under the covers.
