And to my point, how many fans around here have been systematically removing their personal stake ,year over year.

I get the adapt or die mentality youre espousing. But, this isn't nam. There are rules. Breaking points matter. Even from a sustainability perspective.

What’s someone going to trade for him, a case of turtle wax and a bag of bird seed? If he can’t compete in the Schmo Bowl going on here, he’s not competing anywhere, even for a backup job.

Oh I hear you. I thought it was interesting, that there was no mention of him even competing.

After the game, in which the Spurs broke the Knicks' 13-game playoff winning streak, fans spilled out of a watch party in Manhattan's Bryant Park and onto 42nd Street, where some allegedly turned violent.

The NYPD said that in the immediate aftermath of the game, several people allegedly threw beer bottles at or punched police officers, climbed on light poles and scaffolding, got into fistfights, and jumped on top of cars and taxi cabs.

Eight people were arrested on charges of assaulting police officers, criminal possession of a weapon, menacing, resisting arrest, and obstructing governmental administration, according to the NYPD. Thirteen others were issued criminal court summonses for disorderly conduct, the NYPD said.

Videos shared on social media showed some fans clashing with police officers, and other videos captured apparent Knicks fans attacking San Antonio fans on the streets, ripping off their Spurs jerseys.

One video showed NYPD officers wearing riot helmets escorting several people wearing Spurs jerseys to a taxi cab to protect them from a crowd yelling at them.

Victor Wembanyama, other NBA Finals players condemn violence after Spurs fans attacked following Game 3: 'It's unacceptable'​

Both the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs shot below 30% from the field in the final frame of the Spurs' redemptive 115-111 victory in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday night.

The fourth quarter was a rock fight. What happened afterward in the streets of New York was much uglier.

Real fighting took place, as Spurs fans were attacked by New Yorkers in the aftermath of the Knicks squandering an opportunity to go up 3-0 in the series. People wearing Spurs gear were jumped and followed. Videos of postgame fracases in the streets went viral, including one in which a fan's Victor Wembanyama jersey was torn, taken and stomped on.

Here is another assault caught on camera:

Just sayin': This is totally unacceptable.

Absolutely perfect fit in our offense and the exact thing we're looking for in the slot going forward. Would be thrilled to land this kid.

Dude, what you do is be a negative Nelly. It’s your shtick here. You be you, I guess.

You can argue whether they know what they are doing, but you can't argue over whether they are trying right now.

For sure. We're making bold moves in the right areas, finally not being such cheap bastards, and making tough decisions. Plus I really like last year's rookie class...yeah we had a shit season, but it let us play them a ton early and eventually they started shining. I wouldn't be surprised if the defense is one of the most improved units in the league...if they aren't, Golden can pack his bags because the time is now.

Ohio State freshman WR duo pushing for early playing time alongside Jeremiah Smith​

Ohio State freshmen Chris Henry Jr. and Brock Boyd are pushing for early snaps in a wide‑open receiver room. Here's why both newcomers could contribute in 2026​

.

Worth noting: Harrison and Olave arrived as four-star recruits, not the consensus five-star prospects that have since become the program's standard at the position. Both finished their careers among Ohio State's all-time receiving leaders.

Henry's appeal is rooted in his physical tools. The 6-foot-5 receiver, son of former NFL wideout Chris Henry, pairs that size with a large catch radius, giving Ohio State a true outside target who can win above defenders and finish contested catches. A significant portion of his production at powerhouse Mater Dei in California came on downfield throws and tight coverage situations, where his length and ball skills allowed him to turn difficult chances into completions.

Boyd enrolled at Ohio State after becoming his high school's all-time leading receiver, breaking records that had stood for two decades. But he was the 25th-highest rated signee in Ohio State's 29-man high school recruiting class. By recruiting metrics alone, he had no business being in this conversation.

But he is.

Whether that translates into significant production remains to be seen. But the early evaluations suggest both may already be closer to the field than Ohio State freshmen at the position typically are.

Another case of "As the Buckeye Beat Turns."

Candidly, I'm not surprised that the two of them jumped. Virtually everyone else involved in BH was completely unwatchable. I can go either way on Juck, but the rest of them is pretty much a hard pass for me.

Nice enough people, I'm sure... but just zero ability to carry a 'cast.

I love watching these two, Tony and Tom, and enjoying their bid heads, broad smiles, and brotherly chemistry.

Four-star UK QB signee now says his top goal is to sign pro baseball contract

Matt Ponatoski, a Moeller High School football and baseball standout who committed to play quarterback for the Kentucky Wildcats, said the MLB draft in July remains his first option.

“Option 1A is to go be a (MLB) draft pick and go get drafted and go be in an organization at 18 rather than go to college and be in an organization at 21, which is not a bad option either. I want to be drafted. That’s 1A for sure.”

And the chances that he never makes it to campus appear to be increasing. “I think people who don’t talk to me face to face might get an idea that I want to go play college football,” four-star quarterback signee Matt Ponatoski said in an appearance on Overslotbaseball.com podcast that published over the weekend. “I do, but that’s option 1B.

In February, UK baseball coach Nick Mingione said his staff had already coordinated with the new football staff to develop a plan for Ponatoski to play both sports in college. At the time, Baseball America ranked him as the 56th-best 2026 draft prospect, but those rankings have slipped over the course of his senior season. Now, Baseball America ranks him as the 55th-best high school prospect in the draft, but outside the top 100 eligible players at No. 139.

Batting with RISP remains a big concern. 0/11 with RISP in a 2 run extra inning loss last night

2-1 Knicks. Is it a series now (I honestly haven't watched a second of it)?

Glanced at the weather app on my phone and it tells me the real feel is 101 here in NE OH. It isn't even summer yet!

He mentioned he was offered 10 mill to transfer and somewhere I saw he made 2.5 or something last year. While I don't think OSU matched you'd think they would have to at least up their present number.

Just sayin': I know that you can't always believe what is reported; however, here is what was reported....

Ohio State Splashes $5M on Jeremiah Smith; Forces Program to Extend Roster Value to $43.5M​

The Ohio State Buckeyes put together a reported $5 million package to keep star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith in Columbus. It shows how far programs are now willing to go in the NIL era. Smith’s reported package became one major piece of a much costlier Ohio State roster, which is now valued at nearly $43.5 million.

Think of a team like a family budget, where the entire Ohio State roster cost around $35 million last year. When rival schools wave $10 million offers to poach your best player, securing Smith sets a new baseline for everyone else. This dynamic forced the Buckeyes to stretch their total roster value to nearly $43.5 million just to keep their championship core intact.

At this point, the WR is a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. He recorded 1,243 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in 13 games. He became one of the few Buckeyes to cement 1000 yards in 2 back-to-back seasons. However, the youngster still displays loyalty towards his team and aims to win a College Football Playoff national championship with the Buckeyes. One of the main schools rumored to be hellbent on making Smith jump ship is the WR’s hometown, Miami.
