The Knicks, In One Paragraph
Woj has a column up that's ostensibly about the Knicks' latest insane notion—that they can sign Kevin Love in 2015—but which actually serves as a fine excuse to catalog New York's pervasive, perpetual state of rot. It captures basically every ill of the franchise in one tidy paragraph:...

That Time Mike Schmidt, Age 38, Scored From First On A Wild Pitch
A reader named Brad wrote in to ask if we could track down the video for this one.
