They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words & that is certainly true of this one. The FDNY’s Elite Rescue 1 Unit rushes to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. 9 men would board this truck, none would return.

The Yankees aren’t a flawed team, they’re a broken one. They’ll win enough games due to natural talent, but the roster is so deeply imbalanced that outcomes like these vs elite teams seem almost inevitable. If that isn’t enough impetus to fire Brian Cashman, I don’t know what is.

Mario Lemieux put an entire franchise on his back and won 2 Stanley Cups, got cancer, retired, beat cancer, came back, saved the franchise from bankruptcy and relocation by buying it, won 2 more Stanley Cups as an owner. Need I say more?
What NHL player would you want to watch have a Jordan type documentary?

If this is indeed Chris Kreider’s last day as a Ranger, I’d like to share perhaps his finest moment as a Blueshirt. Down 1-0 late against the Caps, staring elimination in the face, Kreids blasts a great one timer past Braden Holtby to tie the game & send MSG into a frenzy.

Let’s review what’s happened over the course of 10 months at WFAN:
• September: Craig Carton gets arrested, resigns.
• December: Mike Francesa leaves
• April: Mike Francesa comes back
• July: Joe Benigno gets sued for.....things.
What a time to be Mark Chernoff.

@FitzGSN_
1998-2001 was really the peak:
- Home run chase
- Yankees dynasty
- Piazza traded to Mets
- Peak Pedro Martinez
- Young Kerry Wood
- Peak Braves
- Great marketing
Hasn’t been as good since.

Here’s a stat: In 26 games with Ben McAdoo as HC, the Giants have scored fewer than 24 points in 21 games. They have never scored 30. If that doesn’t tell you something what will?

Yup. So much toxic dust stemming from building chemicals and abestos. 22 years later and many are still paying the price. Another FDNY firefighter just passed away last night from illness related to that air quality. It’s sad.

• 14 Rebounds

What an emotional roller coaster of a week this has been. On one hand, I of course find myself mourning the passing of my great grandfather but on the other hand I finally have achieved a personal goal I’ve been working towards for years. I got my first car!

Brian Cashman for years has prided himself on trying to be the smartest guy in the room. He is not. He’s finally being forced to understand what a frustrated Joe Torre told him years ago: “this game has a heartbeat”.

Main takeaways from Francesa’s first show back on WFAN:
• Sounded happier
• Seems refreshed
• Good exchanges w/ the callers
• Sharp and quick in his takes
• Mostly good chats with guests
• Still clueless with social media
• Has no strategy for app

I never knew him personally but I’ve had the honor of interviewing several of his former colleagues & therefore have learned a lot about him & that is NYPD Detective Claude Richards. A member of the Bomb Squad & 18 year veteran of the NYPD, he was killed on 9/11/01.

On this day in 2000: The Yankees signed Mike Mussina to a 6-year $88.5 million dollar contract. 123 victories in a Yankee uniform later, I’d say that deal worked out quite well.
