Who's your favorite athlete? (for real, not sexually)

Don't forget his 9/11 themed cleats: Many of the Mets were seen taking the field on Wednesday night against the D-backs wearing custom cleats that honored those who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001, including the first responders. All of this was orchestrated by the Mets' rookie, who came up with the idea for the team to honor 9/11 victims on the tragedy's 18th anniversary. Though he initially wanted to create custom hats, he pivoted to cleats to avoid what he called "red tape" from Major League Baseball. https://www.sny.tv/mets/news/see-it-pete-alonso-orders-mets-custom-cleats-honoring-911-victims/310677192 -

I'm sensing a trend here. This song doesn't make me horny, but the memory of it being used during the opening credits of GREASE MONKEYS as Lee Marlin, Kip Noll, & Nick Rodgers walked in tight jeans does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggBX1xMfxv4

Antetokounmpo hasn't been shy in his pursuit of greatness. In fact, during Milwaukee's Nov. 18 win at Chicago, with Jordan's No. 23 and Scottie Pippen's 33 dangling from the rafters of the United Center, he told ESPN: "I definitely want to be one of the best players to ever play. At age 25, Antetokounmpo is entering his prime and seemingly in the running to win a second straight MVP award. Milwaukee GM Jon Horst is keeping that in mind while studying Jordan's career. Jordan didn't win his first title until age 28, during the 1990-91 campaign. Antetokounmpo wasn't even born until Dec. 6, 1994. "You look at championship teams, and they have an average age of like close to 30, and then they have an average age of like 26, 27, 28 when they get to a conference finals," Horst said. "You have guys like Michael Jordan, who I don't think actually ended up getting to the NBA Finals until he was [28] years old. So I think for our guys, for our organization and for fans in general just to watch kind of the evolution of a championship organization -- not just a single championship year or a team that had a great run, but a team that figures out how to become great and then sustains it over a long period of time and does some really special things. I think it's really an interesting story for people to watch." The Bucks currently hold an NBA-best 53-12 record. Through 65 games of Jordan's 1997-98 championship team, the Bulls were 48-17. The Bucks have won a league-high 36 games by double figures and 19 games by at least 20. Despite playing only 65 games, that's already more games than the Bulls won by double figures (34) or 20-plus points (10). -
It’s been quite a week for live news blunders. On Thursday, Tampa Bay meteorologist Paul Dellegatto wasinterrupted mid-weather broadcast by his dog, who didn’t seem very concerned about the humidity levels across Southern Florida. Despite Dellegatto’s best efforts, he couldn’t get his golden retriever to calm down, and for the next minute and a half, he was forced to analyze the radar maps with a large puppy on his lap. More dog quarantine content, please! Yesterday, FOX 13 chief meteorologist Paul Dellegato experienced some dog-induced technical difficulties in the middle of his at-home broadcast when Brody, his golden retriever, ran into his computer. “The maps aren’t going to move because he just whacked the computer with his head,” said the weatherman, as he attempted to explain the change in dew point across Florida. “So, let me just verbalize the forecast,” said Dellegato. Turning to Brody, he added, “That wasn’t very smart.” The Tampa Bay weatherman attempted to run through the weekly forecast, but the puppy just wasn’t interested, and he repeatedly yawned as his owner worked through the daily highs and lows. “Didn’t mean to keep you up,” said Dellegato, after one particularly dramatic dog yawn. “Next time, Buddy. We’re going to eat after this.” When Dellegato moved Brody off his lap, the dog discovered something even more exciting: the man behind the camera. After a few Brody-free seconds, the outline of his head suddenly popped up from the bottom of the screen. “Oh, boy,” said Dellegato. “He’s jumping up looking for Craig outside the window.” Dellegato explained that Craig is a producer standing on the porch holding “a blanket up so that the reflection” doesn’t mess up the shot. “And now he can’t see Craig so he’s going crazy trying to find Craig behind the blanket,” he said. “Don’t take this the wrong way, Paul, but this is amazing and great. I love it,” said one of Dellegato’s co-anchors. “We don’t need to see that forecast map. We’ll just look at Brody.” Hard agree.

God bless them. I'm sure their families are proud of them, but I wonder if those families really wanted them to come here. I wouldn't have. A 66 year old paramedic from Aurora, Colorado contracted the virus & died. The city will make a memorial to him. Now, a nurse who flew up from Florida to pitch in at New York City’s overwhelmed hospitals during the coronavirus pandemic was thanked by Gotham’s worst — when she was mugged in a practically abandoned Times Square. Stacy Coco and her friend, a fellow Florida nurse, had just gotten off their 12-hour overnight shift at Jacobi Medical Center and an hour-long commute on the subway Sunday morning when they were walking through the famed tourist spot. It was Coco’s first time in the Big Apple. The pair had flown up a week earlier for an eight-week contract with the city and were put up in the Millennium Hotel. “We heard nurses were getting sick and some were dying. We thought if we came up here, we could help. I know it sounds corny … but when you have that in your heart, that’s what you want to do for people,” Coco said. It was around 8:30 a.m. She stood awestruck in front of the “Good Morning America” set in Times Square and stopped to snap a photo. But then, out of nowhere, a thug pushed Coco down and ran off with her cellphone. “I don’t even know where he came from,” Coco recalled. “It’s got pictures and voicemail of my mother on there that died a year ago, December 2018 … and that’s all I have of her.” Her friend, Kimberly Allen, wanted to chase after the thief. “She wanted to chase after the criminal but she didn’t want to get shot,” Coco said. A distraught Coco and her friend went to the nearby NYPD precinct house after tracking the iPhone — but were met by a rude cop, apparently unwilling to help. “We can’t put you in the back seat in the car and go find that phone, it’s a pandemic,” Coco recalled of the exchange. Yet that’s exactly what a police captain did when he overheard the nurse’s story. The supervisor ordered two NYPD officers to drive the nurses around the city for more than two hours to find the thief. “Every time we got close to it would move,” Coco said in frustration. “These two police officers gave us so much of their time,” she recalled, saying the two didn’t want to stop. She never found the thief. “I cried for two days and got a new phone,” she said. “When I called in to work that evening, all the person in the staffing could do is laugh, ‘I’m so sorry, you gotta keep everything close to you in New York,'” she remembered them saying. “This isn’t Florida,” Coco said jokingly.

I know Prince was considered a musical genius, but there wasn't one song of his I liked even a little. Granted, I only knew what was played on the radio. And I absolutely LOATHED (This Is What It Smells Like) When Doves Fry. I always found Jim Carrey's schtick as entertaining as Prince's vocals. Ricky Gervais is smug and overbearing. Tracy Morgan must have a lot of dirt on a lot of people to have had the career he's had. Chris Rock can be a little funny and entertaining. very little.

The family-owned funeral home is a dying industry

She paid $15,000 for mom’s final arrangements — and now worries Brooklyn funeral home stored remains on unrefrigerated U-Haul truck A Brooklyn woman says that weeks ago she paid a funeral home $15,000 to handle her mother’s final arrangements — and now wonders if she was one of the rotting corpses police found in unrefrigerated U-Haul trucks. Tamisha Covington had questions Thursday for the Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral Home in Flatlands. “What’ve you all been doing to our mom? The whole time, she’s just been sitting in a truck?” Covington said she’d like to ask. “How do we know? We don’t know,” Covington said. State health department officials have opened a probe into the “unacceptable conditions” at the funeral home, located on Utica Ave. and Ave. M. Cops on Wednesday found dozens of coprses stacked in two U-Haul trucks and a U-Haul van, along with several more bodies in two refrigerated trucks. Mayor de Blasio on Thursday blasted the funeral parlor’s treatment of bodies amid a wave of deaths in New York City during the coronavirus pandemic. “This horrible situation that occurred with the funeral home in Brooklyn — absolutely unacceptable,” de Blasio said during a briefing Thursday. The home “shouldn’t have let it happen.” Covington, who showed up at the funeral home Thursday demanding answers, the situation wasn’t just unacceptable — it was heartbreaking. Her mother, Deborah Harris, 60, died of a heart attack, possibly from coronavirus complications, in her Brooklyn home April 7. The funeral home took her body on April 9. After two weeks of ducking her calls, she said, someone from the funeral home called her sister earlier in the week and gave her a funeral date, May 12. Covington said she would have understood if the funeral home staff had told her they couldn’t handle the overflow and that a viewing wouldn’t be possible. Instead, she said, the funeral home stayed mum. “Be a little respectful for us. We’re mourning. We’re grieving," Covington said. "Have a little courtesy for the dead,” she added. “And don’t be robbing us, cause we’re getting robbed. "Why are we paying $15,000? Nobody can explain that. Can somebody tell us why they’re ripping us off instead of helping us, and now they got our loved ones in U-Hauls?” The city said last week that bodies of some coronavirus victims will be temporarily frozen to reduce strain on hospitals and funeral homes with limited space to preserve the dead. Somehow the effort didn’t cover the Andrew T. Cleckley home. On Wednesday, people walking by the trucks saw leakage and smelled the odor of death from one of them, said law enforcement sources. “I saw 15 bodies in the U-Haul box truck stacked up on one another, and more in the other,” one officer at the scene told The News. Other witnesses said they’d been watching corpses loaded onto the trucks for days. De Blasio said Thursday what happened was “unconscionable” and that he was “very disappointed” the funeral home didn’t contact the city or state or reach out to the NYPD for help. “I’m sorry, it’s not hard to figure out. If nothing else is working, call the NYPD,” the mayor said. “It was an emergency situation.” The state Health Department, which regulates funeral homes, hasn’t determined what penalty the funeral home owner may face. The home’s operator, Andrew Cleckley, could be fined, be temporarily suspended from the business, or have his license revoked, , state officials said. The bodies found in the trucks are being brought to a morgue in Brooklyn, officials said. Cleckley, who refers to himself as “The Undertaker" on his Facebook page, did not return messages seeking comment Thursday. A woman answering the door at a relative’s Queens home yelled, "He’s not here, do not come here, he’s not here!” Families and funeral homes who can’t immediately collect and handle bodies can ask the city medical examiner’s office to temporarily store the dead until arrangements are made. Coronavirus victims will only be buried at the city’s potter’s field on Hart Island if they cannot be identified or next of kin hasn’t been reached about 15 days after death. During the pandemic, the city is transferring some victims’ bodies from morgues and refrigerated trailers to freezer trucks to ensure they don’t decompose. But once a funeral home collects remains, they can’t be returned to the medical examiner’s office. Asked if funeral homes should be able to send bodies back to the medical examiner if they run out of space and take on too many remains, de Blasio said he didn’t know the details about the city’s handling of the situation. But the mayor said funeral homes have an “obligation to the people they serve to treat them with dignity.” De Blasio said the city should organize a bereavement committee as proposed by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. The committee would include representatives of the medical examiner’s office and the city’s funeral homes. Adams said the idea is to help funeral home directors overwhelmed in the pandemic.
