Watching the #AlwaysKnicks win a championship with @jackhealey24 is priceless

I quite literally never thought I'd see the day. The New York Knicks are NBA champions. To be able to share this joy with my parents, fiancée, and family, is utterly indescribable. 🥹

Champions #AlwaysKnicks

Special afternoon celebrating my father in law’s 80the birthday. A special surprise as his grandson (my nephew) came up from Florida to raise a glass to a very special guy. It’s all turned into an impromptu #AlwaysKnicks watch party for Game 5! #FamilyFirst

Happy 6/13 by the way...

Put that in your report: Wally Backman will be introduced Monday as the new manager of the Staten Island Ferryhawks (ALPB-MLB Partner League)

I think there's a little more analytical bend now with Weiss and Hefner compared to Snitker and Kranitz, who were obviously two old-school guys. I never got the impression AA demands anything of his managers. I think the analytics group is involved in every discussion in game prep, which as you know is very extensive now compared to the past. There are facts spelled out to the staff and then they run with them. Does Walt, as someone who is a bit more balanced but still was "raised" by old-school guys, still go on his gut? I think so. But yeah, I think we are seeing an increase in the analytics this season from this #Braves team. Wait, why am I talking to you @MarkCHealey of all days today. You know I have never liked you! 😎😉

Hey @BillShanks, a question for you. I'm curious as to how the #Braves handle analytics. Is there less of a focus on doing everything that AA's FO tells the coaching staff to do, and do Walt Weiss, Jeremy Hefner, and the rest of the staff have a little more freedom to coach the players in more traditional ways?

Striking out ‘The Whammer’ THE NATURAL (1984) It may not be entirely faithful to the 1952 novel, but I love this Film. #RobertRedford #RobertDuvall #BarbaraHershey #JoeDonBaker #BarryLevinson
