Well, any time I need the heartbeat of New York, I go to Ian O'Connor, a columnist at the Athletic. He's written for the, in a columnist for the New York Daily News, the New York Post, ESPN. He's a friend. He's a six-time New York Times bestseller. He's working on a new book, but I'm not telling you what it is. But I'm going to read it.
