newyorkpost--2020-09-25--Giants not taking matchup against ‘talented’ Nick Mullens lightly

The Giants opened the season against Ben Roethlisberger , playing his first game since undergoing surgery on his throwing elbow .
Week 2 presented a matchup against the ever-inconsistent Mitch Trubisky .
Still , the Giants enter Sunday looking for their first win .
A meeting with the 49ers ’ Nick Mullens — a 25-year-old undrafted quarterback out of Southern Mississippi , who last week threw his first regular-season pass since 2018 — is the most inviting yet .
Niners coach Kyle Shanahan announced Friday that Mullens will start Sunday for the first time since Dec. 30 , 2018 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ injury he suffered in last week ’ s win against the Jets .
“ Mullens is a talented quarterback , who has some really nice traits about him , ” Giants defensive back Julian Love said .
“ He ’ s a guy that can really throw the ball .
We ’ re locked in just like we ’ re playing [ Garoppolo ] out there and that ’ s our mindset with it .
He ’ s a quarterback in the National Football League , so he has talent.
” Talent varies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So was Tim Tebow .
Instead of facing the quarterback who led the 49ers to a fourth-quarter lead in the Super Bowl last season , the Giants will prepare for someone who was cut by San Francisco twice , and who only was promoted from the practice squad in 2018 after Garoppolo tore his ACL .
Starting the final eight games of that season , Mullens threw for 2,277 yards , 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions , while completing 64.2 percent of his passes .
The Giants got the better of Mullens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he completed 27 of 39 passes for 250 yards , with one touchdown and two interceptions in a 27-23 San Francisco loss .
“ We ’ ll use all the resources we have , whether that ’ s players on the field and they remember something about it , or coaches in the building at the time , and all of the game tape , obviously , ” Giants head coach Joe Judge said .
“ Nick ’ s a good quarterback .
He ’ s a competitive dude .
He ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , really overachieving-type guys .

“ I can ’ t say over and over enough how competitive this guy is and how much we expect this guy to fight and give his team every advantage possible.

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ week , Mullens completed 8 of 11 passes for 71 yards , with no touchdowns and one interception .
“ It ’ s my fourth year .
There ’ s really no excuses to why I shouldn ’ t perform , ” Mullens said after the game .
“ And so that ’ s kind of what has kept pushing me.

One of the toughest games on their schedule no longer looks so lopsided .

A meeting with the 49ers’ Nick Mullens — a 25-year-old undrafted quarterback out of Southern Mississippi, who last week threw his first regular-season pass since 2018 — is the most inviting yet.
Niners coach Kyle Shanahan announced Friday that Mullens will start Sunday for the first time since Dec. 30, 2018, with Jimmy Garoppolo sidelined by an ankle injury he suffered in last week’s win against the Jets.
“Mullens is a talented quarterback, who has some really nice traits about him,” Giants defensive back Julian Love said. “He’s a guy that can really throw the ball. We’re locked in just like we’re playing [Garoppolo] out there and that’s our mindset with it. He’s a quarterback in the National Football League, so he has talent.”
Talent varies. Joe Montana was an NFL quarterback. So was Tim Tebow.
Instead of facing the quarterback who led the 49ers to a fourth-quarter lead in the Super Bowl last season, the Giants will prepare for someone who was cut by San Francisco twice, and who only was promoted from the practice squad in 2018 after Garoppolo tore his ACL.
Starting the final eight games of that season, Mullens threw for 2,277 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, while completing 64.2 percent of his passes. The Giants got the better of Mullens in a November 2018 matchup, when he completed 27 of 39 passes for 250 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions in a 27-23 San Francisco loss.

He’s an accurate passer.
“I can’t say over and over enough how competitive this guy is and how much we expect this guy to fight and give his team every advantage possible.”
Except Mullens steps back into MetLife Stadium at a disadvantage, playing without injured running backs Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman, as well as All-Pro tight end George Kittle.
Replacing Garoppolo in the 31-13 win last week, Mullens completed 8 of 11 passes for 71 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception.
“It’s my fourth year. There’s really no excuses to why I shouldn’t perform,” Mullens said after the game. “And so that’s kind of what has kept pushing me.”
The Giants have motivation, too. One of the toughest games on their schedule no longer looks so lopsided.

After the season-opening loss to the Bills , Quinnen Williams made similar comments , saying he had to do “ much more ” and “ be a dog.

Quinnen Williams looks different to observers after shedding weight and adding muscle in the offseason. His performance so far doesn’t feel the same, either.

It shows.
A disappointment as a rookie, the former No. 3-overall pick in the 2019 draft out of Alabama has begun to shed that unwanted label, playing at an elite level in a Week 2 loss to the 49ers after a solid debut against the Bills.

One year ago , an early-season injury to Saquon Barkley opened a door for Gallman , who answered the call at first , but strangely was buried on the bench for the final five games .

It’s déjà vu with a twist for Wayne Gallman.
One year ago, an early-season injury to Saquon Barkley opened a door for Gallman, who answered the call at first, but strangely was buried on the bench for the final five games. Now, another injury to Barkley has created another opportunity for Gallman just as he was in danger of again becoming invisible much earlier in this season.
Gallman could make the big leap from unexpected healthy inactive last week against the Bears to starter Sunday against the 49ers, with a final chance to make something promising of his Giants career before entering free agency.
“I’m not making goals,” Gallman told The Post. “I’m going in trusting the line, trusting the offense and trusting what we’ve done in practice. That’s all I can do. If you put in hard work, the results will come.”
Like all football teams, the Giants preach a Next Man Up philosophy. It just doesn’t seem to apply to Gallman.

“I just shifted my focus to what’s more important and that’s preparing myself to be ready for anything, whether that’s starting or staying in a backup role,” Gallman said. “There’s really not much I can do except controlling what I can control.”
Before testing Gallman as lead running back this week, the Giants signed former Pro Bowler Devonta Freeman. After only three practices, Freeman is expected to be part of a rotation with Gallman on first downs and Dion Lewis in passing situations.
“Wayne’s got that long speed, get him ranging out and get him really moving,” coach Joe Judge said. “Every player has a role. Anybody coming in doesn’t replace somebody else who’s already here. They just add to our team.”

The fresh start provided by a first-year coaching staff was supposed to benefit Gallman. But the Giants’ decision to dress only Barkley, Lewis and fullback Eli Penny last week suggested otherwise.
“My drive is to get better each day and be the best Wayne,” Gallman said. “There’s so much to the league that you can only understand so much. Everything will work out the way it should be.”
The likeliest reasons for Gallman’s bit role are his continued struggles with drops as a pass-catcher, his minimal role on special teams and the constant change around him.

A UN fact-finding mission has amassed evidence of “crimes against humanity” by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his top lieutenants.
“Far from being isolated acts, these crimes were coordinated and committed pursuant to state policies, with the knowledge or direct support of commanding officers and senior government officials,” reports the UN’s Marta Valinas.
We’re talking extrajudicial executions, disappearing political opponents and torturing protesters with such techniques as electric shocks, genital mutilation and asphyxiation.

newyorkpost--2020-09-25--Yankees’ Deivi Garcia has one more start to cement postseason role

Gleyber Torres made his eighth error at shortstop on Wednesday , ...

Deivi Garcia’s entry to the majors took a step back in his most recent outing, when he gave up six runs in just three innings at Fenway Park.
He’s got one more start Saturday to show the Yankees he’s ready to play an important role in the postseason.
Asked his most important takeaway from that performance, Garcia said it came down to having a game plan on the mound.
“How to put together a plan and understand how important it is to execute certain pitches in certain situations and how to find a way to do that,’’ Garcia said Friday through an interpreter before the Yankees faced the Marlins in The Bronx.
That was certainly an issue against the Red Sox on Sunday in Boston, when manager Aaron Boone questioned the pitch selection with Gary Sanchez behind the plate.
“Just some misses with his fastball,’’ Boone said following the outing of Garcia’s lack of command. “I don’t think he had the same life on his fastball, maybe a tick off. A couple of pitch selections could have mixed a little more.”
Boone was confident Garcia would return to form before the playoffs.
“Just a bump here for him,’’ Boone said. “They’re all things he can correct and do what we’ve seen in his next one. He’s fully equipped to handle these things.”
Unlike his last appearance, Garcia doesn’t figure to pitch to Sanchez against the Marlins because Sanchez caught Friday and Saturday is a day game.
Regardless of who Garcia is pitching to, he’ll hope to avoid the eight hits and two homers he allowed to a bad Red Sox team.
“It’s important to put a good plan in place and go out there and execute the plan, especially in tough moments,’’ Garcia said. “Follow the plan of attack.”
It’s still unclear how the 21-year-old might be used in the playoffs. With Gerrit Cole and Masahiro Tanaka set to start the first two games of the best-of-three wild-card series, the Yankees seem most likely to turn to J.A. Happ, who started Friday’s game against the Marlins in The Bronx.
Even if that’s the case, Garcia figures to play an important role for the staff, either in the wild-card series or beyond, if the Yankees advance.

It’s long past time for Gov. Cuomo to offer up his Plan B for spending cuts if the feds don’t dump tens of billions on the state.

Yes, the gov has rightly been withholding funds for localities to match the drop in state revenues — but he hasn’t said which cuts are locked in, so those governments aren’t necessarily doing the long-term slashing they should.
And with the state’s projected budget hole at $14.5 billion and growing, that’s going to be a very bitter pill to swallow all at once. Any recession requires spending cuts and layoffs of state workers: Cuomo ought to be inflicting more pain up front.
When they passed the state’s laughable $177 billion budget in April, lawmakers gave Robert Mujica, Cuomo’s budget director, the unprecedented ability to make spending reductions that would kick in unless the Legislature passed its own plan. But the mere withholding lets lawmakers dodge that option.
Mujica has recommended $4 billion in cuts, including a freeze on hiring, pay raises and new contracts — but Cuomo has yet to pull the trigger. He prefers to point the finger at President Trump.
Meanwhile, the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez call for massive tax hikes — as if businesses and better-off New Yorkers needed new reasons to give up on the state.

newyorkpost--2020-09-25--Fresh proof the entire Russiagate probe was nothing but a political smear

WASHINGTON — The primary source of the controversial Steele dossier ...

Fresh proof, and lots of it, just landed that the entire Russiagate probe was a political hit on Team Trump — unprecedented abuse of Justice Department powers by Obama-era officials that continued under Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Start with this: The main “subsource” for Christopher Steele’s infamous dossier (which served as vital “evidence” to justify the investigations) had years earlier been tagged as a possible “national-security threat” and Kremlin asset.
And top FBI leaders knew that by December 2016 — yet kept the damning info from the courts as they used the dossier to get warrants to surveil former Trump aide Carter Page.
That’s right: The probe of Trump’s supposed Russian ties depended on gossip from a likely Russian asset.
Meanwhile, text messages just released in the Mike Flynn case show that some of the agents working on that Crossfire Hurricane investigation believed it was a political hit. Many of them even bought special insurance for fear they’d face abuse-of-power charges.
A Sept. 17 interview of FBI agent William J. Barnett as part of the Justice Department review of the Flynn case is mind-blowing. Barnett, who moved from Crossfire Hurricane to Mueller’s team, thought the probe was “problematic and could result in an inspector general investigation.”
The probe, directed by Andrew McCabe, then James Comey’s No. 2, was “opaque” and had “little detail concerning specific evidence of criminal events,” he said. It seemed to be “supposition on supposition,” with no clarity even on what higher-ups wanted to “look for or at.”
It got worse on Mueller’s team, where he saw a total “get Trump” attitude: “Incidents involving Trump were taken in the most negative manner, or in some cases misinterpreted.” Top lawyers assumed there was “something criminal there” and competed to see who’d find it first.
Then there are the text messages amongst FBI employees, like the Jan. 5, 2017, post that Trump “was right” in suggesting Comey & Co. delayed briefing him on Russian meddling in the 2016 election because they needed time “to build a case.”
Even back in 2016, FBI employees knew they could get into trouble. In a text message, one said that “if this thing ever gets FOIA’d, there are going to be some tough questions asked.”
Thank goodness Attorney General Bill Barr has appointed John Durham and his team to ask them.

newyorkpost--2020-09-25--Why the Democrats won’t pack the Supreme Court

The White House has indicated in conversations that Barrett was ...

For many progressive opinion-makers, the only way to save the Supreme Court is to destroy it.
They believe the best response to the Republican-held Senate confirming a Trump nominee to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the Supreme Court is to pack the court if Democrats win in November. Holding out the court-packing threat, they argue, also might give Republicans second thoughts about filling the vacancy.
As a medium-term strategy, court-packing is a woefully misconceived fantasy, and as a tactic in the fight over filling RBG’s seat, it is already an abject failure. It is a lesson in what happens when you let your outrage do your thinking for you.
For the Democrats, court-packing would be a murder-suicide. It would end the Supreme Court as we know it and almost certainly bring a swift and decisive end to Democratic congressional majorities. There’s a reason Republicans aren’t taking the threat seriously in their calculations.
No matter how infuriated a party is, the rules of political gravity still apply. A president is at the high point of his power at the outset, steadily losing juice over time.
Would Joe Biden spend precious capital on court-packing early in his presidency? If so, voting, green energy and health-care legislation would take a back seat.
If, instead, all that legislation went first, court-packing would be pushed toward the back of the line, when Biden would have diminished clout for the political fight of a lifetime.
The question of timing would enter in another way. If Democrats managed to add court seats in the second year of a Biden presidency, how much time and political capital would they have left to fill them before the midterms? If Republicans took back the Senate, they certainly wouldn’t fill them.
And, of course, when Republicans hold the presidency and Congress again, they’d add their own seats or subtract the Democratic ones, making the entire exercise a nullity.
It’s also true that, as a general rule, big changes happen in our system when a party makes a sustained public case for them prior to an election. Very few elected Democrats are willing to come out in favor of packing the court, and Biden the other day pointedly refused to endorse it.
Even though the advocates of what they euphemistically call “court reform” rightly point out that there’s nothing written in stone about the number of justices, it’s going to take a lot of work to convince people that jettisoning the 1869 Judiciary Act is the equivalent of renaming a post office.
Making court-packing the major initiative of his presidency would be an awkward fit for Biden. It would validate the critique of him as weak and prone to getting pushed around by the left. It would blow up his hope to bring some normality back to Washington.
It would inexorably make the destruction of the legitimacy of the Supreme Court part of his legacy, when he imagines himself an institutionalist. As far as counterintuitive presidential moves go, this wouldn’t be “Nixon goes to China”; it’d be “Nixon becomes a member of the Red Guards.”
The argument that Republicans have already “packed the court” is a false equivalence. Yes, Republicans have used hardball tactics to keep open, or now to try to fill, vacancies. But these seats opened up in the natural course of events. They weren’t conjured out of nowhere in a fit of pique or vengeance.
It easy to pound the table and demand an incredibly momentous change to our system when you don’t have power and don’t have to cope with the consequences. It’s another to act in the face of vigorous opposition and with nervous officeholders in marginal districts or states looking for a way out.
No matter how much progressives want elected Democrats to write the ransom note, they aren’t going to take the Supreme Court captive next year, let alone kill the hostage.

Keyon A. Lambert was charged with a felony count of criminal damage to property and misdemeanor disorderly conduct in June after he was accused of breaking into the Brewers’ Miller Park in Milwaukee at taking a joyride on a tractor.
A criminal complaint details how the 40-year-old Lambert tried to carve his name in cursive on the field. The damages for the offense amounted to $40,000. WISN, an ABC-affiliated station in Milwaukee, obtained footage of Lambert on the tractor digging holes in the grass and dirt before the Milwaukee resident ran the bases – backward – to complete his destructive escapade.


newyorkpost--2020-09-25--Andrew Cuomo is playing with racial fire

The Big Apple ’ s wave of gun violence is getting worse , ...

With children being shot down in the streets all across New York — a by-product of statewide double-digit increases in gun homicides — you’d think Gov. Cuomo would be too humbled to lecture Kentucky about murder.
Not so. Humble ain’t his thing, don’t you know?
Arrogance is another matter. The governor has raised that to an art form — most recently taking time out from his coronavirus-death nursing-home deflections to hector Louisville on its handling of the Breonna Taylor shooting case.
And, in the process, offering an imprimatur-in-advance to those who believe that rioting, robbery — and even shooting cops — is a justifiable response to controversial policing.
“Breonna Taylor’s death was murder,” Cuomo declaimed Thursday, with his customary degree of subtlety and reflection — which is to say, none. “People were outraged. Yes, because it’s outrageous. If a person was murdered, then there’s a murderer, right? That’s how it works.”
Maybe that’s how it works in circular-thinking left-wing fever swamps — where outrage eclipses the rule of law. But not where respect for due process and for common decency prevail. Like in Kentucky, it seems.
There, a duly constituted grand jury found that Breonna Taylor died last spring when police — executing a properly issued search warrant — came under fire from Taylor’s boyfriend and returned it, fatally wounding Taylor.
A tragedy? So it would seem. A fiasco? Obviously. But murder? Lacking further information, not by the stretch of any honest observer’s imagination.
Now, if Cuomo has further information, he should present it. Because as things stand, the governor’s blanket declaration is a shockingly irresponsible act for the chief executive of a state that is always only one errant police action, or one willfully misinterpreted cellphone video, away from disaster.
Away from, for example, a reprise of the arson, looting and related violence that convulsed both Midtown and upstate cities last spring — and Rochester just this month.
And perhaps away from more cop shootings — like those in Louisville after the Taylor finding and Los Angeles 10 days ago and the assassination of two NYPD officers after Mayor de Blasio encouraged demonstrators shouting for “dead cops” during anti-police disturbances in December 2014.
Cuomo was governor then, too, and should have absorbed the lesson, that inflammatory rhetoric can indeed have terrible consequences — but not so. He seems to have aspirations beyond his current station (an occupational hazard for most pols), and so he’s aligning with the portion of his party that embraces wrack and ruin as a legitimate protest form.
That is, with the Democratic mainstream in this nightmare of an election year.
The irony is that Cuomo has done as much as anyone to transform New York’s relatively tranquil cities into bullet-pocked hellscapes. (Adjusted for population, Albany, Troy and Rochester have become more dangerous than Baltimore, Philadelphia and Chicago.)
He led the way with the so-called bail and related procedural “reforms” that emptied local lockups and helped generate explosive increases in violent crime.
Adding to the irony is that Cuomo’s “reforms,” taken in tandem with de Blasio’s neutering of tried-and-true NYPD anti-violence tactics, came in the name of racial justice. Yet they have laid a brutally heavy hand on New York’s minority communities, where virtually everybody involved in the violence lives.
That includes shooters, of course, which ratchets up the cultural tensions generated by even tepid enforcement efforts. But also victims — many wholly innocent, some otherwise — who virtually without exception are minority-group members themselves.
Law enforcement is a messy, unpredictable and sometimes lethally violent undertaking. Clear-cut outcomes are rare, but reflexively laying the blame on police officers when things go south misses a critical point: Without cops, criminals prosper — and crime victims suffer.
There are more violent-crime victims in New York these days than there have been in decades — and that reflects anti-policing policies promulgated or encouraged by the governor who now tut-tuts Kentucky.
This may be a tactic — to divert attention from New York’s deflating economy and Cuomo’s other coronavirus woes (see above, nursing homes) or to promote him politically.
But, whatever the reasons, it also enables anarchy, which is shameful. Cuomo needs to examine his conscience.

newyorkpost--2020-09-25--Finding the best of NYC despite the COVID-19 shutdowns

I moved to New York City so I could , on any given day , listen to some of the world ’ s greatest classical music , see some of the world ’ s finest art and eat at some of the country ’ s most exciting restaurants .
Three months later , everything shut down .
OK , that ’ s not quite true .
I moved here to take a job at the great newspaper Alexander Hamilton founded .
But Gotham ’ s cultural greatness had long been a lure .
Six months after the shutdown , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ canceled its 2020-21 season , and Broadway likely won ’ t reopen before next fall .
I uprooted my DC life for this ?
So thank God for the Metropolitan Museum of Art .
I ’ ve visited it three times since it reopened , and it ’ s been a balm to my shattered soul — and a reminder that this city is well worth its expense when not under lockdown .
There are some changes at the Met , of course .
You must wear a mask and submit to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are disabled , and cafés closed .
But you can still eat a New York hot dog on the museum steps and marvel at the life outside one of the city ’ s best rendezvous .
That main entrance has a long line , but I ’ m not sure it ’ s because the museum can only operate at 25 percent capacity .
Buy a timed ticket online — or become a member — and breeze in much more quickly through the 81st Street doors .
Do so and you ’ ll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hellenistic and Roman galleries .
That light-filled court has always been my favorite place in the museum ’ s 2 million square feet .
The benches now contain signs advising patrons to “ maintain physical distancing , ” but there are plenty of them , and I never pass up the opportunity to sit silently in that grand room amongst the beautiful human sculptures .
It was there , among the incomplete figures — a head missing here , a limb there — that I felt I might finally become whole again .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ throw in a coin and make a wish , I saw a woman sketching the headless but still breathtaking Three Graces .
We ’ re lucky to have this font of inspiration once again .
After nearly six months without art , of course the great masters stuck out .
The one-of-a-kind light of a Vermeer painting ; the workmanlike genius of a Michelangelo chalk drawing ; the hypnotic folds of a bright blue dress in an Ingres portrait .
But other things among the museum ’ s one-and-a-half million objects drew me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first living artists the Met collected , and his sculptural forms taking shape out of a void touched me now more than ever .
Various sculptures and paintings on the theme of artist-as-life-giver seemed essential after months of life coming to a screeching halt .
That ’ s not to say I wasn ’ t also struck by less life-affirming works .
I ’ m still haunted by Alexandre Cabanel ’ s 1864 academic painting “ Echo , ” with its redheaded solo subject , half-dressed , holding her hands over her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the past envisioned my pandemic life ?
Manet ’ s “ Young Lady in 1866 ” was more reassuring : This redhead , standing tall in a pink dressing gown next to her pet parakeet , plays with a monocle , her vision challenging our own .
Portraiture is my great love , and I had to commune with some John Singer Sargents before leaving on my first visit .
His masterpiece “ Madame X ” is part of the interesting “ Making The Met : 1870 – 2020 ” exhibition ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for that ) .
But the American Wing , though a little harder to access , had its rewards : I could be alone with some of the most interesting personalities of the Edwardian and Gilded ages .
Having spent the day with a collection of the best the world ’ s civilizations have had to offer , I felt refreshed .
Walking to a wine bar to continue contemplating , I ran into Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn on a nearby street .
I had to tell the director how much I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and he pulled down his mask to reply .
“ Stay safe , ” his wife told me as I walked on .
My first year in New York City might not be so bad after all .

After nearly six months without art, of course the great masters stuck out. The one-of-a-kind light of a Vermeer painting; the workmanlike genius of a Michelangelo chalk drawing; the hypnotic folds of a bright blue dress in an Ingres portrait.
But other things among the museum’s one-and-a-half million objects drew me, too. Rodin was one of the first living artists the Met collected, and his sculptural forms taking shape out of a void touched me now more than ever. Various sculptures and paintings on the theme of artist-as-life-giver seemed essential after months of life coming to a screeching halt.
That’s not to say I wasn’t also struck by less life-affirming works. I’m still haunted by Alexandre Cabanel’s 1864 academic painting “Echo,” with its redheaded solo subject, half-dressed, holding her hands over her ears in some distress: Had someone in the past envisioned my pandemic life?
Manet’s “Young Lady in 1866” was more reassuring: This redhead, standing tall in a pink dressing gown next to her pet parakeet, plays with a monocle, her vision challenging our own.
Portraiture is my great love, and I had to commune with some John Singer Sargents before leaving on my first visit. His masterpiece “Madame X” is part of the interesting “Making The Met: 1870 – 2020” exhibition (yes, there’s another line for that). But the American Wing, though a little harder to access, had its rewards: I could be alone with some of the most interesting personalities of the Edwardian and Gilded ages.
Having spent the day with a collection of the best the world’s civilizations have had to offer, I felt refreshed. Walking to a wine bar to continue contemplating, I ran into Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn on a nearby street. I had to tell the director how much I enjoyed his memoir published this year, and he pulled down his mask to reply. “Stay safe,” his wife told me as I walked on.
My first year in New York City might not be so bad after all.

newyorkpost--2020-09-25--Joe Tsai loved that Nets’ Steve Nash hire led to ‘white privilege’ debate

Kevin Durant is aware of the narratives that he hand-picked ...

Nets owner Joe Tsai said he was glad Steve Nash’s hiring as Brooklyn’s coach created a discussion about “white privilege,’’ but believes the argument doesn’t hold up.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said on the air that “white privilege’’ was at work in the Nets’ choice of Nash, the Hall of Fame point guard, because his lone coaching experience was as a part-time skills instructor for the Warriors.
The charge created a national firestorm after the announcement on Sept. 3 — and Tsai actually loved it.
“The example [Smith] uses in this particular case is misapplied, but having that conversation is important,’’ Tsai said on a Yale University podcast posted Friday. “So I think this is a very good example of, rather than just shouting at each other, we understand white privilege is an issue and needs to be talked about. But in this case, it doesn’t apply because Steve Nash is the best person for the job. But we’re not afraid to talk about it.”
Tsai said he was proud of Nash for adeptly responding during the press conference earlier this month to the assertion he wasn’t qualified for this job, despite being one of the smartest floor generals in NBA history.
“When Steve Nash was put on the spot during the press conference, the direct question was: ‘Did you get your job because of white privilege?’ ’’ Tsai said. “What Steve said was very sensible and sensitive. ‘Yes, I’ve been the beneficiary of that, but I don’t think that’s an issue that applies in this particular case. But we need to have this conversation.’ ”
Those were Tsai’s first public remarks regarding the stunning Nash hiring that was fully endorsed by Nets superstar Kevin Durant, who is black. The firestorm included support for Nets interim coach Jacque Vaughn, who is black. Vaughn posted a 58-158 record as Magic head coach between 2012-15 and his Nets were swept in the first round of the bubble playoffs by the Raptors in August.
“Steve Nash is a two-time MVP — one of the most talented point guards that ever played basketball,’’ Tsai said. “It was an incredible get for us to be able to convince him to come in and coach our team. The problem is Steve Nash is white. In the context of social justice discussion in the nation, we came under a little bit of criticism.”
Tsai, whose Nets are expected to contend for the Eastern Conference title, wants to continue to be accessible to Nets fans in every way.
“I started a Twitter account a few years ago so I can communicate directly with our fans,’’ Tsai said. “Up to that point, I had never used Twitter. I didn’t think it was important to me. I can’t understand the idea of limiting the number of words you can post on social media. Because of the Nets, I now have a Twitter account.”
Tsai boasts 23,000 followers.

newyorkpost--2020-09-26--Fantasy football: Players to start, sit for NFL Week 3

It can be very easy to be discouraged by a ...

The Post’s Drew Loftis evaluates all the relevant fantasy football news ahead of Week 3 of the 2020 NFL season.
Big Weeks
Mitchell Trubisky QB, Bears, at Falcons (FanDuel $7,500/DraftKings $5,700)
Don’t laugh. Well, OK, laugh, but laugh at the Falcons’ defense, not Trubisky. In two games, Atlanta has given up 78 points, 772 passing yards, four passing TDs and three rushing TDs by QBs, and has zero interceptions.
Joshua Kelley RB, Chargers, vs. Panthers (FD $5,900/DK $5,000)
The Panthers have given up nearly 20 PPR fantasy points more to RBs this season than any other team. Kelley is getting nearly as many touches as Austin Ekeler.
Allen Lazard WR, Packers, at Saints (FD $5,600/DK $4,800)
With Davante Adams looking unlikely to play, Aaron Rodgers will need someone to target. We got Lazard over Marquez Valdes-Scantling, because MVS likely will line up opposite Marshon Lattimore more often.
Mecole Hardman WR, Chiefs, at Ravens (FD $5,200/DK $4,200)
We don’t want to have to regularly trust feast-or-famine options like Hardman, but in a game we expect to have a lot of points, and matched up most often with Marlon Humphrey, we are willing to roll the dice on him this week.
Small Weaks
Nick Chubb RB, Browns, vs. Washington (FD $7,800/DK $6,900)
The Football Team has been stingier against opposing fantasy RBs than any other, except the Ravens. Likely can’t sit him in seasonal leagues, but should avoid for DFS cash contents.
Leonard Fournette RB, Buccaneers, at Broncos (FD $6,400/DK $6,200)
Not a great matchup, unlike last week. And though we expect Fournette to take over this backfield eventually, Ronald Jones has not disappeared quite yet.
Devin Singletary RB, Bills, vs. Rams (FD $5,900/DK $4,900)
The Rams have been solid vs. RBs in terms of yardage, which is where Singletary scores his fantasy points. With no Zack Moss, some could be tempted to use Singletary expecting more red zone carries, but we suggest a suitable alternative if you have one.
Robert Woods WR, Rams, at Bills (FD $6,600/DK $6,100)
He could be shadowed by Tre’Davious White, which would not be good for Woods’ fantasy prospects. And let’s say, we’re not buying resurgent Rams offense quite yet.
