Because God clearly loves the Yankees and is indifferent towards the Knicks because they’re named after a beer company. Come on read a bible once in a while…

Great to have your commentary back, Pete. The Ruthless looks like a really interesting race.

I just became the New York correspondent for HorseRacingNation.com. Looking forward to 2012! Once my basketball season ends I will start cranking up my NYRA presence.
