Knick’s Knack

“So this is how it feels. It is giggling, weeping, spinning, convulsing, mosh-pitting, truck-honking, law-skirting, trumpet-playing, cowbell-ringing, off-key-singing, cigar-lighting, all-night-ing — remembering to remember it all, as if Knicks fans would ever forget. It is hugging strangers so hard they go airborne, fist-bumping cabbies as they crawl through concrete delirium, high-fiving kids on shoulders (and adults on shoulders), climbing stoplights and trees and scaffolding to wave the team flag higher, swiping utility cones and wearing them as hats because they are orange.” Knicks Give Their City Something New: Impossible Joy. (During their playoff run, the Knicks went 15 and Trump.)

The Carolina Hurricanes took home the Stanley Cup, and at least for one night, the USMNT looked like the team fans always hoped it could be. And there was much more. Here’s a good overview of a fun weekend in sporting events, during which no one desecrated the White House or verbally attacked Michelle Obama.
