Erika Jayne says she was joking about PK, Dorit Kemsley breakup

Erika Jayne is backtracking on her comments about Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley’s marriage. After PK shaded Jayne on Instagram for claiming his marriage was on the rocks, the “Pretty Mess” singer commented on his post claiming it was all in good fun. “When did you get so sensitive? You know damn well I was joking..” the reality star wrote. Erika Jayne claims she was joking about friends PK and Dorit Kemsley’s potential split.

Kyrie Irving can go to hell with his anti-Semitic stupidity

Image
As a matter of full disclosure, I am a Jew.  In fact, my daughters bought me one of those DNA ancestry spit kits and it revealed that I’m 99 percent European Ashkenazi Jew and 1 percent Bonomo Turkish Taffy.  Jews, as flat-earth theorist Kyrie Irving recently shared on antisocial media, are slave-traders controlled by Satan.  Yep, the Mushnicks and the Satan Families have been tight for generations. Sunday nights, we’d have Chinese food with the Satans. For some reason, they preferred Szechuan. Can’t recall my folks or grandparents swapping slaves with the Satans; it seems I’d rememberer that.  While Irving’s sense of applied and shared history seems to be in accord with the 12th Century Inquisition and genocidal Nazis of the 20th Century, I wonder if he knows of three more recent historical figures:  James Chaney, a black man from Mississippi, and Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, two young Jews from New York ...

Kyrie Irving finally releases apology after Nets suspension

Image
All it took for Kyrie Irving to apologize was an indefinite suspension, a call out from the Anti-Defamation League, two press conferences and a week of public pressure. Following a hailstorm of criticism on Thursday after Irving’s shambolic press conference, the Nets point guard finally released an apology for retweeting an anti-Semitic movie via his Instagram account , though he did continue to say he agrees with some of the points made in the film. “While doing research on YHWH, I posted a Documentary that contained some false anti-Semitic statements, narratives, and language that were untrue and offensive to the Jewish Race/Religion, and I take full accountability and responsibility for my actions,” Irving wrote. “I am grateful to have a big platform, to share knowledge and I want to move forward by having an open dialogue to learn more and grow from this. Kyrie Irving released an apology on his Instagram account Thursday evening. Getty Image...

Knicks' rare lineup pairing sparks much-needed win over 76ers

Image
PHILADELPHIA — Desperate times called for desperate measures, and Tom Thibodeau certainly coached that way.  Thibodeau shook up the Knicks’ starting lineup. He went small. He even gave the Julius Randle-Obi Toppin pairing a long look.  The result was a much-needed victory over the 76ers, a rally from 12 points down in the final quarter engineered by Toppin and Randle. Toppin, finally given extended minutes, hit the go-ahead 3-pointer on a Randle dish with 1:25 left, and the Knicks snapped a three-game losing streak against the short-handed Sixers, 106-104, at Wells Fargo Center.  Joel Embiid was out with the flu and the 76ers were playing without a true center, so Thibodeau went to Randle and Toppin together. They duo helped the Knicks rally after a shoddy performance up until that point. Thibodeau was backed into a corner, his team was struggling and Mitchell Robinson was out with a sore right knee he suffered in the second quarter.  Obi To...

Ben Simmons' MRI exam on knee comes back clean in Nets break

Image
WASHINGTON — Ben Simmons had an MRI exam on his left knee earlier in the week, and it came up clean.  The All-Star had his left knee drained, and was back in Brooklyn working with the medical staff while the Nets blew out the Wizards, 128-86, on Friday night. Simmons will miss the game Saturday at Charlotte.  “My last interaction he was just with the medical team and trying to get that swelling reduced,” said interim coach Jacque Vaughn, who was noncommittal about Simmons playing Monday at Dallas.  “Not sure yet in Dallas. He’s still back in Brooklyn right now. We’ll connect with the medical team. Hopefully he’s doing better and see if he meets us in Dallas.”  Ben Simmons Getty Images Seth Curry (left ankle) did not play Friday. T.J. Warren (left foot) was also out. Kessler Edwards was with G-League Long Island.  After Joe Harris came through the Nets’ last back-to-back OK, he’s expected to be able to suit up Saturday against the...

Jerami Grant's buzzer-beater propels Trail Blazers past Suns

Image
PHOENIX — Jerami Grant scored a season-high 30 points, including a baseline jumper at the buzzer, to lift the short-handed Portland Trail Blazers over the Phoenix Suns 108-106 on Friday night. The Blazers had just 1 second left when Justise Winslow lofted a high in-bounds pass to Grant, who grabbed the ball and tossed a high-arching 13-foot jumper in the air. It rattled through the net and after a review, the officials confirmed it left his hands in time. Grant’s clutch shot capped a back-and-forth final minute. Devin Booker made a 3-pointer to put the Suns ahead 106-104 with about 30 seconds left, just moments after Jusuf Nurkic sank his own 3 to put the Blazers up 104-103. Nurkic tied the game at 106-all with his putback after an offensive rebound with 23 seconds left. The Suns looked like they would have the final possession of regulation but Mikal Bridges was called for traveling. That gave the Blazers enough time to set up their winning...

This is the fight the superstar-less Knicks need to show

Image
PHILADELPHIA — Even though mediocre teams are never supposed to win on the road against superior opponents, the Knicks had absolutely no choice but to win Friday. They were not exactly facing the Julius Erving-Moses Malone 76ers.  In fact, they weren’t even facing the Joel Embiid-James Harden 76ers. With Philadelphia’s two franchise players out, and with the deep, rough-and-tumble Eastern Conference offering no free passes, the Knicks needed to prove to themselves — and to everyone else — that they could at least sink a five-foot uphill putt after it had been practically conceded.  They did not hit that putt dead center. No, it did a 360 spin around the cup before falling at last, leaving the visitors at Wells Fargo Center looking more relieved than joyful at the final horn Friday night.  No surprise there. As a rule, nothing will come easily to this middling group. These are the Knicks after all, and after seven games the...

Kyle Kuzma clarifies cryptic tweet amid Kyrie Irving controversy

Image
Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma raised eyebrows on Friday after posting a cryptic tweet amid the latest Kyrie Irving controversy.  “Can’t even tell the truth no more,” Kuzma wrote .  Kyle Kuzma of the Washington Wizards Getty Images Many social media users were quick to assume Kuzma was referring to Irving, whose promotion of a film with anti-Semitic tropes — and refusal to apologize for an entire week — got him suspended for at least five games by the Nets on Thursday.  Not so fast, the 27-year-old former Laker said. A little over an hour after sending his original tweet, Kuzma clarified the meaning behind it.  “This is not about any current events lol.. have a good day.” After the Wizards’ loss to the Nets on Friday, Kuzma gave further context to the meaning behind his tweet. “My tweet got taken completely out of context,” he told reporters. “Probably a product of wrong place, wrong time. “Anybody who knows me knows my character. I’m all ab...

Knicks fan wins a car after hitting incredible half-court shot

Image
A male Knicks fan hit a long-distance shot during the Knicks-Celtics game Saturday night at Madison Square Garden — and won a Kia car. The fan, who was wearing a John Starks No. 3 jersey, banked in a half-court shot during the third quarter and then chest-bumped with RJ. Barrett, sending the Garden crowd into a frenzy. Despite that good karma, the Knicks came up short, falling 133-118 to the Celtics and are now 4-5 on the season. A Knicks fan wearing a John Starks No. 3 jersey hits a half-court shot to win a car during the third quarter of the Knicks’ 133-118 loss to the Celtics. @nyknicks/Twitter It was a night where a lot of long-distance shots were as the Knicks were undone by the 3-pointers by Boston’s sharpshooters. The Celtics connected for a franchise-record 27 treys – also setting the mark for 3-pointers allowed by the Knicks. https://www.tausiinsider.com/knicks-fan-wins-a-car-after-hitting-incredible-half-court-shot/?feed_id=407673...

The Masked Singer fans 'work out' Rhino's identity as X Factor winner | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

Image
TV personality and panellist David McCall went on to point out how Rhino seemed "humble". She said: "Rhino has been particularly emotive. There are people who completely draw you in. "It’s lucky for Rhino, actually, that they can pull some emotion out of the bag, because it's very, very hard in that costume to give us anything at all. They are massive, and they are quite humble. "They keep putting their little hooves together, it looks so sweet. If it's possible to have a sweet rhino, this is it." So could it really be the former X Factor winner James Arthur behind Rhino?
