it's one thing to be a super-fan; some people (e.g., me) think it is a bit juvenile, but that's not the issue.

the reason he got banned was he would drown everyone out with excessively long, repetitive posts that could border on unhinged, in response to anything less than 100% unquestioning faith to the team.

He might do very well in a place like North Korea

PhilC got banned from a Jets sight.
Both of them? Yowzer!

I'm just going to enjoy my Knicks basketball on #KnicksTwitter (something I just discovered and having crazy fun with) and after this post/response I'm now taking myself a 4 game West Coast break from UltimateKnicks before I get myself banned from here due to A.) Posters who only post after loses and B.) 2-3 people who've waited damn near 1 month for 1 single loss in order to begin "jumping down my throat".

I know what's going on around here (and I'll see you guys next Wednesday on the 14th).

NYKMentality is a good fan. "He really seems to care. About what? I have no idea"

"Hey Whitey, where's your hat?"

"This is the worst looking hat I ever saw You buy a hat like this, I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh? Oh it looks good on you though"

Just realized you quoted Back to School...

"Say it! Saaaaay iiiiiiiittt!!"

All fans should be banned from a Jets site 🤣

Ok I get it. Some are too far right and too far left. But for either side to continue to call someone out who doesn’t 100% agree can be toxic over time. Not saying he is by any means, just acknowledging the feedback in this thread. Got it

Me, if you're not Yankees, Giants, Knicks, Rangers, you lost me...

With courtesy I don't believe Thinking the Knicks are infallible vs Thinking the Knicks are just very good is the issue here. It was/isn't about agreeing 100 (or even 75%).

It's about behavior, which is a whole other thing.

Count me as a big fan of NYKmentality. The whole reason I joined this site was because of the pessimistic bullshit on posting and toasting and needing a place to vent my enthusiasm. I'm pretty sure there was an early 2021 post where I turned NYKmentality into being a Randlestan. Anyone getting their panties in bunches about getting called out for lack of fandom on this site needs some Stuart Smalley self reaffirmation. Let's be honest and admit we are all jealous of NYKmentality because life has ground out that childlike optimism we had as kids when players were superheroes.

Hope to see you back soon NYKmentality!

If he cannot, and that's seems to be his response then "time away from us", maybe for reflection? Lets see how he comes back.
I believe he takes this all way to personal when others don't agree with his opinions.

Thanks. You've now given me another reason to avoid Twitter. Can you imagine Tweets as long as his forum posts. That's what you have unleashed!

Those tweet storms will be some form of meltdown glory celebration. Or something

I don’t normally read NYKMentality posts/threads but I do appreciate the effort he puts when writing them

I’ll miss looking at it as I gloss over to the next post

NYKMentality is a good fan. "He really seems to care. About what? I have no idea"

well its obvious that he cares passionately about being the voice of anyone who doesnt want their throat jumped down after a loss, or anyone who struggles to understand that the only thing you need to follow in Kobe's footsteps is to be that age.... at some point. Also green check boxes. He cares about those as well. So after some review and perspective he's actually pretty well rounded

I loved sam. Saw him perform live a few times. One of my favorite memories:

Sam’s performing at the beacon theatre in the 80’s. I brought my mom to see him ( she was a real character - liked this kind of stuff).

I look behind us - seated directly there are al goldstein and ron jeremy with a couple of porn stars. I say, “hi al, hi ron.” They give very warm greetings back. I say, “i want you to to meet my mom. Mom, this is al goldstein and ron jeremy.” They give her very warm greetings and introduce her to their porn star dates, something like, “this is candy and fawn.” they give her a big hi.

We turn back, the show’s about about to begin. My mom leans in to me and says, “well those are a couple of very nice jewish boys.” One of my great memories of her, i laugh every time i think about it. And she LOVED sam’s performance that night.

^ that’s gold

The issue isn’t fandom. I mean seriously everyone on this site is a fan. It’s the comeuppance and more importantly how he just gets unhinged with 50 repetitive posts.

Hilarious. Caused me to think of a time in the 80s my band and I after a gig were having late night breakfast at the Ukrainian diner the Kiev in the East Village and a matronly woman and her friend overheard us talking shop and mentioned her sons were both in rock bands. One was Joey Ramone! The funny thing was she kept pushing her other son’s band. Nice Jewish lady for sure!

I hope there is never a KnickDanger thread because that would mean either I’m attracting too much attention or I kicked the bucket.

Every site has and needs an 'NYKMentality' fan. It brings balance.

Meh, it’s just a matter of time before he/she flames out and gets banned. This one is building up to be the monumental melt down we talk about for years and all future mentally unstable posters will be compared to.

We should have a place to memorialise those that have melted down in the past. Our own UK ring of honor so to speak

Kind of like the Dark Sith?

Many chill down and after a banashment are good but then revert to the emotional side and lose it. TMS, Playa, Playa2, and some others. key is unmitigated arrogance that they are always right even when faced with facts. Most of us makes mistakes and learn from each other.

I have been accused of pushing some of them over the cliff. Might be true. But at the end of the day making shit up and getting called for it, or not admitting plagiarism is never cool.
I forget who, but they'd cut and past stuff and pass it as their own. Well, quick search usually would get that sorted out and it had to be presented as such.

Its ok to be enthusiastic, but there are limits. Nobody likes losing, but to expect it as if the games don't matter is another story.
"Randle will destroy Sabonis because he always does". No, thats not how the game gets played.

Sabonis in first quarter was a monster. I fell asleep on the game after that.
While we on it, seems to be SAC is doing very well and no slight on Haliburton but its a nice Win-win trade for both teams. Haliburton became an allstar and Sac with Sabonis is very good.
It freed up Fox also. Sac got panned for it but seems like both teams did well.

Fans are focused on who wins a trade but a solid GM (with Tenure) is about elevating the teams result. That takes years sometimes to determine.
Paul George to Clippers for Shai AND that Cache of picks looks silly given how good SGA evolved!. Fact is Thunder have yet to make noise and cLippers in win now mode with Leonard.
Still too early. Clippers not exactly setting the world on fire but they have been solid most of this year and are building their own brand and building from the Lakers arena. "The Crypt"!!!

I was thinking all jet fans were like him and PhilC?
Not to do a BeatleJuice thing, but we have not seen our one liner wonder in a few weeks?

He's posted a few times. Kind of like Fournier, he sits during win streaks.

I honestly just assumed NYKMentality was either very young and/or a relative of Julius Randle in some way...

Can we get a second rounder for him?
