Unless you're a fan of a mega-successful club or a glory hunter, sports fandom is awful, a relentless slog of unhappiness and pain.
Until it isn't. 17 years is a long time to wait. I've been so patient. And that long, painful wait and all the near misses make days like today all the more sweet.

Ange's unreal second-season tradition continues and he has every right to be completely insufferable about it
If you are a Spurs fan you should be absolutely the most obnoxious celebrator anywhere today, you can and should pretend this was the only competition you played in this season. Leave the angst for the summer.

Winning at Duke is great. Kansas? Really cool. Kentucky is Kentucky. On and on.
But St. John’s? When it comes to scale, and scope, and sheer voltage — winning at St. John's is different than winning anywhere in college basketball.

👀 this campaign is gonna be LIT
NYC, you did it.
Not only have we handily qualified for public matching funds but our $642,339 haul from 6,502 donors are the most of any campaign.
That means we'll have $3+ million to share our vision for a more affordable city.
I am profoundly grateful.
