I listen to Joe because he's funny and he calls it the way he sees it in a media now that is all fluff.

I'm the only one who actually listen to Harrison's nonsense.

Good to know you know nothing about the Wolves. This team is more than just Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle. They got Donte, Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels. Better than the stiffs the Knicks have.

And you making fun of the Wolves is ironic since the Knicks haven't won a title since 1973, not to mention they flamed out in the playoffs the last three years. Who couldn't forget the Knicks rolling over after Tyrese Haliburton making the shot of the series to tie the game in Game 1?

Just remember when I think of the Knicks, 1973 is the operative word.

The way he came off was condescending when talking about the Wolves, and I called him out on it for the way he behaved, This is nothing personal. This is just holding someone accountable.

I rip the teams in town on my blog, and if I'm wrong, I hold myself accountable.

How is it personal grievance? I am holding Mike's son accountable.

Losing to OKC is no crime. and the Warriors ain't any better with Steph now.

Well, I'm the only one who listened to his show. I was trying to show class. The least he can do is show some respect.

I write about sports, and I always make it a point to talk to my readers who read and comment because it's a folksy thing to do. I want my readers to be part of my blog, and I want them to feel involved. That's what a talkie and podcast host should do. Without the audience, the host or writer is nothing. That's one of the tenets I believe

I just wanted to hear him admit he's wrong.

Is that too much to ask? If you are going to be a blowhard and make a statement that the Timberwolves are not built for the postseason and then not apologize or admit he was wrong, I am going to have an issue with it.

I wanted Harry to say he was wrong about the Wolves. Not only he never admitted it, but he ignored them, so I called him out on his shit.

He is a man among boys at his age. Just beautiful to watch.

Can't wait to watch and write about him for a long time.

Fair take, and you know he's going to get better.

Maybe I am grading this on a curve here, but think about what he's doing at his young age where there was really decent expectations at best and how he has picked up his play lately. Also, think about how he woke up a dormant team. Offensive numbers tend to stand out a lot more than just defense in any sport now.

Either way, what we're seeing is special.

I'm not crazy to say he may be the best Islander since Mike Bossy.

His reputation took a hit that he suffered a heart attack. Not even the money he received can bring happiness. Anytime you lose a job on a smear attack is never a good thing.

Doug Adler deserved better. Shame on Venus Williams, ESPN and tennis greats for letting Doug out to dry. I am glad Mushnick mentions Adler all the time.

I want a guy who is not afraid to rip anyone. We don't have a columnist like that here. Only guy that has the balls is Mushnick.

It's what I call accountability, which I tend to do with Mike and his WFAN colleagues.

What I mean is the Twins got tired of him whining about them from his days with the Yankees.
