  1. I do not see how this cannot be considered tampering. The Knicks sent front office staff to the playoff games, hiring Rick Brunson, now all these moves made and in place with financial numbers worked out. I know the league has often turned a blind eye but this seems extreme.

    That said, not salty he is leaving. He had a good playoffs but I dont think he is worth this much money.

  3. https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/24/us/forney-texas-school-district-dress-code-ban/index.html

    A North Texas school district has updated its dress code for the upcoming school year to ban hooded clothing as well as dresses and skirts for many of its grade levels, reasoning that the change will help students in their future careers.

     

    The new policy, which applies to all 18 of FISD's schools, prohibits clothing such as hoodies, coats and jackets with hoods inside the school, and also forbids students in grades five and above from wearing dresses, skirts or skorts.
     
     
    The dress code also requires students to wear solid colored shirts and slacks, shorts or capri pants in navy blue, black or khaki colors. Among the things the dress code prohibits are demin pants, sleeveless shirts, t-shirts, overalls or clothing with holes in it.
     
    The district emphasized in its announcement of the policy change that the shift is intended to prepare students to enter the workplace. It also said the policy gives FISD "a positive and distinctive identity" and reflects the "values of the schools and community,"
     
  4. Excerpt from the Stern interview I referenced:

    As such, NFL retirees can never return to their sport like many other professional players often do–most succumb to injury: “When I retired, that helmet went on the shelf and I’ve never put it on again. It’s so finite. It’s done.” Goose said he was now 45 years-old, and, given both his father’s early passing (at 47) and a laundry list of football injuries, every day is a gift: “If I die tomorrow, I tell my wife, just put a smile on my face, put a little Sinatra on…”

  5. The Detroit Pistons are trading forward Jerami Grant to the Portland Trail Blazers for a 2025 first-round pick via the Milwaukee Bucks, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

    The 2025 first-round pick via Milwaukee is protected Nos. 1-4, sources said. Detroit sends Grant into a $21 million trade exception, and the Pistons now have $43 million in salary cap space for free agency.

    If Rudy and Paco's is booked, Blvd. Seafood has been very good in the past.  I have to travel to Galveston 1-2 times a year to see an account there and have been multiple times.

    Small, neighborhood kind of joint.....appears to be a lot of locals as the main customer base.

    I've enjoyed it.  https://blvdseafood.com/food/

     

     

    I am a big fan of Blvd.

    Yes, we saw Wicked.  I got my tickets from Broadway.com.  But there's Ticketmaster and a few other sites out there hawking tickets.  I probably should've shopped around.

    Gershwin was the only place that required masks, and they were pretty strict about it.  I'm not sure about any city-wide policy, but all of the restaurants, museums (MOMA, 9/11, Natural History Museum), retail stores, etc. were mask optional and nobody asked for proof of vaccine.  Seemed like only around 10% of people everywhere we went wore masks.

    I saw Wicked Thursday and agree they were pretty strict at Gershwin.

    When I went to Natural History Museum, they told everyone at the door you had to mask up. Did not come across as optional.

    Beyond those two places, masks seemed optional and at no point did I have to show proof of vax.
