I acquired one of the biggest bills found on the ground in 1980 that matched to the D.B. Cooper ransom. Yesterday, I extracted it from the case it has been in for 45 years to submit it for grading.

Incredible Kyle Busch Tribute (By dj brownsville)

When the house you are over realizes that their cord cutting has compromised your timing. We said “Happy New Year” at 12:01:26.

It’s really a shame it’s such a “corporate” crowd at Madison Square Garden tonight.

Four years ago today, Zion blows out his shoe during UNC game. Nike says they are investigating. They never disclose results of investigation. They sign Zion when he turns pro. He never says anything.

Knicks wearing locker room T’s that glisten. Fanatics selling the limited edition T’s for $60.

Gretzky: “Don’t hug me, you stink!”

My Knicks fan estimate in San Antonio tonight is slightly under 25%. Knicks fans SOUND like 40% of the crowd.

Five years ago: I had bet $1,550 before the season that Northwestern would win the Big Ten Championship. I did a “Deal Or No Deal” with PointsBet with live cashout offers coming in from the banker to ⁦Teddy Greenstein⁩. With NU up 10-6 in 3rd I cashed out.

Catching a glimpse of LeBron at Fanatics Fest is tough work.

In the LA Clippers Locker Room at the Intuit Dome. Each player can store 32 pair of shoes in their locker. This is James Harden's stash.

To do anything other than (safely) frying a turkey is idiocy.

The star of tonight’s Jim Irsay collection at Christie's is Jack Kerouac’s “On The Road” scroll. It was bought by Irsay for $2.4 million, but should go for north of $3.5 million tonight.

I have been to 99% of hockey games my 10-year-old boys have played. Of course, the first-ever one-timer goal for Spencer (No. 88) comes when I'm on a plane 😡

I have covered betting in some form for the last 25 years. Watching Kalshi take $22 million in bets on words Trump would say tonight is the most mindblowing thing I’ve yet to witness. Are people really cashing in on Autism mentions? What a world.

Blocking off 8th Avenue from 30th to 35th around Madison Square Garden for Trump’s arrival and security.

Northwestern was down 21 in the fourth to Minnesota this weekend. Forced overtime and won it with this Ben Bryant to Charlie Mangieri TD. When Mangieri got to the endzone, he signaled his love for his former coach Pat Fitzgerald — his player number 51 with the heart symbol.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have tried the Rainbow Cookie Egg Roll at the New York Mets Game ($8.89) and it is a must try. The Mets #1 again in all of ballpark food.

Spike Lee became a Knicks season ticket holder in 1985. His first game was Patrick Ewing’s first game. He has his first NBA title, 41 years later.

With seven days to go, the Tyrannosaurus Rex named “Gus,” is at a high bid, including buyer’s premium, of $24.3 million at Sotheby's. At 61% complete by bone count, it is one of the more complete T-Rex’s ever offered.

On Friday night, a person bought 10 seats in the last row of Section 115 for $175,000 on TickPick. Here is their view.

At Fanatics Fest: Keith Olbermann’s “FrakenWagner.”

Police checkpoint at 29th and 8th. Must show police ticket to game or cannot advance. With a big Timberland shoe rolling by.

Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan has his $360M, 400-foot yacht Kismet parked in New Orleans. It has: 3 pools, four fireplaces, a spa, a sauna, a cryo chamber, a gym, a yoga studio, basketball and pickleball courts and a helipad. Sleeps 12 guests, crew of 37.

My sealed Twinkie has turned 50 years old.

In 28 hours, this game-used Jalen Brunson Game 1 NBA Finals jersey will sell at Sotheby's. It’s at $486,000. Bet it doubles.

Store No. 41. Great to be in Westfield, NJ, one of two cities where popupbagels began.

Logan Paul reacts to his Pokemon Illustrator hitting $12,524,000 at Goldin

Riddell is not in the business of making helmets for people to play football in. They are in the business of making helmets to be owned by collectors.

In the early 80s, Rickey Henderson was called by the A’s accounting department because they determined he didn’t cash his $1 million for nearly a year. Here’s what happened, as he told “Mike &amp; Mike” in 2009.

Class Act: Giants QB Tommy DeVito showed up on his own this afternoon and unpaid to Coniglios, the pizza shop that originally had scheduled an appearance. Making sodas the old fashioned way with owner Nino Coniglio.

36 years ago today: Kirk Gibson's pinch hit homer in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. Every future broadcaster should be shown this as an example on when not to talk. Vin Scully didn't open his mouth for MORE THAN A MINUTE.

We speak with A.J. Scaramucci, winner of the Logan Paul Pokemon Illustrator card that he won for $16.49 million last night. Why did he “need” to win it?

College graduation speeches are often evergreen. They can be given at any time, similar from decade to decade. Which is why Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker’s “How To Spot An Idiot” at Northwestern’s graduation is so genius. It is the speech for TODAY

Japanese donut shop I’m Donut?, which started as a small stand in Tokyo, and has virally spread throughout Japan, is opening in Times Square this morning. The line is insane…
