Nicely done, Gordie, as always, from a Knicks fan who marveled at those Knicks in ‘70 and ‘73.
These Knicks were, ya know, likable. Unusual for a New York team. gordiejones.com/finally-a-ne…

Whether you remember the ABA first hand or you’ve just heard or read about it, you will absolutely love “Soul Power” on Prime Video. Julius Erving, Dan Issel, George Gervin and others offer great recollections and the old video highlights are superb. That was the real Showtime.
Chatted with Earl many times at high school events and Hershey Bears games. He was passionate about local sports. RIP.

Here was the Chicago Times' review of the Gettysburg Address: "The cheeks of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat, and dishwatery utterances." History seems to have proven otherwise.
When asked to describe a match against Franklin & Marshall (I think), Skip replied, “It’s a good local darby.”
Also, a George W. Kirchner Award winner.
A true #etowncollege legend ⚽️

I love that you dad was described as “a rangy senior from Chappaqua” in that 1960 program. He’s the best.
My sweet friend @LucyQui79264064 was cleaning her in-laws place in NY & found 1958 & 1960 game day programs from when my dad played @Cusefootball I told her he will have a story for every person in this book and sure enough he did not disappoint! #nationalchampions
