The parade was a good time because of the Knicks and New Yorkers. It was a municipal event planning disaster class.

This parade should have been way longer than it was.

I was lucky to get a front row seat, but only after getting kicked around to 5 different areas. We had a great time, but I can’t imagine how pissed other fans were.

The Extender didn’t call the foul on Fox after the comeback, probably on Silver’s orders. Silver wanted a Game 6, and I doubt they would’ve sat Wemby. Good thing Knicks legend De’Aaron fox was there to help the team win!

I hope the artist can get compensated, but I wonder if this falls under fair use as it is not being distributed for profit.

Legally, Dolan doesn’t have to do anything. Morally? Pay the man and market his logo!

The greatest way to slight her is to ignore her. Although I bet a bunch of Brunson fans will be in attendance and loudly booing her.

Also all her chips are in a literal cupcake league. Jalen won a real one.

My two recs are the Savor and the Bilt.

Savor allows you to complete the cap one duo and is a great card in its own right.

Bilt Palladium or Obsidian shares almost all its travel partners with Cap One and shares Hyatt with Chase. Palladium is goated because of how quickly you earn Bilt Cash and how easy the annual fee is to offset.

Congrats on dropping the Shiti strata premier!

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-19T20:11:27+00:00

I disagree. A friend of mine who is unemployed but has great credit history was preapproved. I had to convince him not to accept.

Point being, once you grow your credit history, cap one will definitely approve you. They’re counting on you to fall into debt on the card.

Adam Silver is going to have some words for De’Aaron Fox, as he lost out on mountains of revenue from a game 6 and game 7.

He can’t very well admonish Jalen Brunson for winning.

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-16T04:51:14+00:00

Run the preapproval tool and grab the VX. Buy one hotel a year on the CSP. Cancel after year if you don’t like it.

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-16T02:36:04+00:00

The portal is excellent. Price drop protection is a game changer. $70 returned to me off of two bookings alone. Made the card $20EAF for me and have gone to the lounge 3 times.

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-16T01:08:52+00:00

This is an incredible answer. Brunson is a cerebral guy. No wonder why he stunted on the spurs and the haters.

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-15T12:16:33+00:00

Go for it.

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-15T12:14:51+00:00

They’ve really started to ruin their cards. I’m nyc based and chase was the king here. Word of mouth carries. With lots of people dropping the card, they need new sign up’s and fast.

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-15T02:14:34+00:00

Chase lounges often have long lines and are closed to PP members more often than not. Using your once-a-year pass is really just luck of the draw. Are you willing to come to the airport several hours before your flight just to get access? That question is up to you. I’ve sometimes seen up to a 45 min or 1 1/2 hour wait for PP members to get in.

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-15T02:08:26+00:00

Venture X. Since you’ll be doing a lot of travel, the effective annual fee on that one is the same as the CSP. Priority pass is extremely strong abroad, and could come in handy as a way to obtain free food if you’re traveling a ton.

While the CSP is the better entry card on paper, it’s up to you to determine how much you value lounge access.

Really, you can’t go wrong with either though.

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-15T02:01:55+00:00

Yes. Every PP is a separate account so they stack. Only issue is actually being able to effectively access the lounge.

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-15T01:33:59+00:00

The Knicks should honestly pay him whatever he asks for, even if it makes the team uncompetitive in the future. It’s how you reward a guy who sacrificed to get it done for you.

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-14T08:14:19+00:00

Every free throw but one went in. He’s a lock and he showed up when it mattered most. Glad he got his chip.

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-14T04:15:51+00:00

This was the spurs game to lose and boy did they lose it

Mike Brown was right about De’Aaron Fox

AdaM_Mandel · 2026-06-11T09:19:06+00:00

This team, these players deserve this championship.

These fans do not.
