There is nothing better than being able to say this:
Andrew Gerard Fanta is here! It is the best joy of our lives for @FantaVicki and I to welcome our son to the world. Full of energy, already loves watching sports. Mom & Andrew are doing great. He’s already quicker than dad. 😂

Believe it, New York City.
For the first time in 19,312 days, the New York Knicks are NBA Champions. The 53-year drought is over.

We just need a live cam of soccer fans in New York City tonight. Would pay for it.

Jalen Brunson is the heart and soul of all of this for the Knicks. Has he always been perfect this series? No. But you find so much out about a guy when everything’s on the line and he doesn’t back down, is always accountable and just never stops working for it — with zero ego.

This was awesome. @SemajStanford4 is a superstar! Before the DB heads to Oregon to play for Dan Lanning, he’ll be in the @AABonNBC at the Alamodome this January! He found out on our @overtime OT7 broadcast earlier today.
We are back at 2 ET tomorrow for the semis and title game!
Special Moment for @SemajStanford4
Earlier today he was named a Navy All-American on national TV during OT7 @overtime on NBC & @peacock

Kenny is the absolute best of us. As nice a human being and as elite at his craft as anyone. We love you Kenny. Prayers 🙏🙏🙏.
If you are the praying kind, please serve some up for our guy Kenny Klein, who is dealing with a serious medical situation at the moment.

Good luck with everything Brock. Keep saying yes to opportunities even if it’s a sport you’re not as familiar with. You never know what one yes can turn into. And there are no bad connections. Keep saying hello to people. And treat every step of the journey like the Super Bowl.

What’s your best advice for a college senior trying to break into the sports media industry?

Seton Hall will once again fly under the radar but I wouldn’t sleep on Shaheen Holloway. Intrigued to see how Del Jones/Sim Wilcher/Trey Parker/Roddie Anderson make an impact. Brown/Thomas/etc make for more perimeter shotmaking options. Liked the Devin Williams add a lot.

Thoughts on what Coach Holloway can do with this versatile group of Pirates? Hope to see you this summer @John_Fanta.

I trust John Schneider and that clubhouse in Toronto. Jays are finally getting some relief with their rotation. AL has several teams that have been either very snake bitten by pitching injuries or don’t have the horses on the mound.
1. Can the Blue Jays make a summer run like last year?
2. Why is the American League weak?
