Sounding off on this year’s MLB All Star voting, particularly a questionable All Star reserve pick over some guys who definitely deserve to be there more. I mean it is a glorified popularity contest after all…

So McDonald’s snack wraps are back for the first time in a decade, and this “foodie” got his hands on both. How does he feel about trying the snack wraps for the first time and are they worth the wait?

A ton happening on this last day of June in Isles Country, with the NHL Draft in the books this weekend, the Isles starting Development Camp for their prospects today, plus defenseman Alex Romanov returns and rumors swirl about a potential Bridgeport Islanders move to Hamilton for the 2026-27 season. A lot of road to drive down today on the Cross Islanders Parkway.

My reaction to the Isles trading defenseman Noah Dobson to the Canadiens ahead of Draft Night 2025, where the Isles hold the first overall pick.

I call out my alma matter, Hofstra University, on their decision last week to use an Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated video to introduce a new logo for their Athletics department, when the university has been very publicly against the use of AI in their academic work.

With the Knicks season ending last night in Indiana, I reflect on their most successful season in my lifetime thus far, being able to enjoy that playoff run with some great people along the way. Also, ripping off the band-aid that is the question of what the Knicks do this offseason to get themselves a step further next season.

Intro: Morgan Wallen - '98 Braves

The return of the Cross Islanders Parkway is here, talkin' Isles all offseason!

On this edition of Pags' Perspective, I break down the chaos taking place in New Jersey with the potential NJ Transit strike, which would be the first in nearly 40 years if the transit agency and Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers cannot reach an agreement by midnight tonight, May 16th, 2025.

I also talk about the recent issues affecting Newark Liberty International Airport and its airspace, the responses from Transportation Secret...

My thoughts on the New York Islanders winning the 2025 NHL Draft Lottery, their first number one pick since drafting John Tavares in that spot 16 years ago.

There's no doubt that this will be a day changing the trajectory of the Islanders franchise, with a future very uncertain as Hockey Hall of Famer Lou Lamoriello was let go from his duties as President of Hockey Ops/General Manager just weeks ago. It becomes all the more brighter...

A Monday hockey edition of Pags' Perspective, a day after the incredible Game 7 finish between the St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets, which really reminded me of Islanders playoff games at the Nassau Coliseum. Speaking of the Islanders, they hope to win the 1st pick at tonight's NHL Draft Lottery in New Jersey with 3.5% odds, as well as some more Islanders news behind the scenes.

This afternoon, the New York Islanders announced they will not be renewing the contract of President/GM Lou Lamoriello, after 7 seasons with the franchise which saw 5 playoff appearances and near-back to back Stanley Cup Finals appearances, arguably the franchise’s most successful stretch post-Dynasty.

My reaction to the move as well as what could come next for Isles Nation.
