I never thought I’d say this, but the greatest choice I’ve ever made in my life is being a Knicks fan.
Nothing tops this. Pure joy.

ESPN broadcast doing ESPN broadcast things

Oh cool so the Knicks are gonna get 3 fouls in a minute and the ESPN broadcast isn’t gonna show replays of any of them.
Sure that’s not weird at all and fills me with confidence in NBA officiating.

Back at Ivy Hill Park on a sweltering day in Newark for more softball state finals!
It’s the breakthrough team Barnegat (24-2) against Ramsey (25-3) for the Group 2 state title! Can the upstart Bengals topple the powerhouse Rams?
We’ll find out. 1st pitch in about 20 minutes!

Wow. And in one swing in the bottom of the 7th, the perfect game and shutout go out the window. Senior Riley Schmidt with a solo home run in what is likely her final career at bat for Barnegat
Ramsey lead is 8-1 now

Interesting ending as the final out is a throw out on the steal attempt. Donofrio finishes with 16 strikeouts for the Rams
