She's actually a pretty stout sports fan and has had a huge compound in New York City since 2014. She bought a couple of townhouses in Tribeca (Franklin St) and then added more for an over 50 million investment (practically owns her block). She has like 8 homes (with Tenn considered the main) but admits she got a carried away with NYC.

She likes the social scene with her other celeb friends (they aren't hanging in Nashville) and NYU gave her a degree. She's good friends with Jimmy Fallon who likes Knicks. She absorbed some of NYC's esoteric philosophies but she doesn't really beat people up with these as much as some think.

Her first hit songs were about high school football stars and her broker father was a big Philly sports fame (he's friends with Andy Reid) and she said she was an Eagle fan and had their jerseys in some of her videos. Now that she's with the meathead she's a KC fan of course. She really does like football and when games are over she can be seen getting excited after a win and robustly backslapping Pacheco and other players . She started going to Knicks games in 2014 and while not one of the dweebs at every game she goes regularly. Thankfully she's not a big baseball fan.

"Cornelia Street" Is a song about her NYC neighborhood and is a fan fav not usually on radio


IMHO you know way too much about Taylor Swift. :) :) :)

It has nothing to do with Knicks fans and everything to do with the decaying of society and culture and previous examples of crossing the line not being held accountable
Sounds very elitist and fascist.

Well, now there are video's showing up how and why these fights happened. Example of the first dude that had his jersey stripped off- he had been trolling fans all night and then agreed to meet up to fight the one knick fan...now- the mob getting involved wasnt right but the does not look like Knick fans were just going after random Spurs fans...
Look at post #69, or

or many others. Was the girl that was on fire “trolling fans all night”?

I have an ongoing juvenile takeover thread on CE that is very telling
It's great that when something is needed at Walmart, CVS, etc that there is plenty of stock available. . .. . .since the 5 finger discount was thwarted after authorities decided the 5 finger discount would not be prosecuted.

Kinda figured this post would be coming, and even thought it might be from this particular poster.

But that said, absolutely nothing wrong with calling this out. It’s absolutely vile behavior. And the number of people willing to follow it around just to film are almost as bad. And it’s disgusting to see how people engage with police. We are very very sick as a society.

When this stuff happens in other cities (and one in particular), many people on here waste no time creating threads about it.

The same can’t be said when it happens in NYC, it’s usually silence.

I kinda figured there would be no thread on this vile behavior and nope, there wasn’t.

Glad you are okay to call this out at least. This behavior is not okay.

with that said- it makes it seem like anyone in a Spur jersey was getting assaulted everywhere. I’m going to bet there were thousands of Spurs fans still drinking , having fun and just busting balls are various sports bars all over the city with no issues.

Can't see WTF went on in that video. And coming from a poster on X who idolizes Vick, how does anyone take it seriously?

And maybe the Spurs fan said something insulting to the Knicks fan or asked the fan to keep quiet, which, in today's world, where lame excuses run galore, justifies a violent response and setting the person on fire.

While I’m glad you both denounced this behavior in this thread @Knight Shift @yesrutgers01, I find your odd attempts to defend or explain the behavior it comical.

You are two posters that love to dump on another city on threads over the years, yet when the behavior happens in the city you have a soft spot for you

1) Never post about it and now
2) Attempt to defend it

At least I have never attempted to defend or explain this type of behavior / criminal activity like we’re seeing in these countless videos over the past week around MSG.

I have always said there are scumbags everywhere, and this stuff happens in other cities but for some reason it doesn’t get ever the attention like it does it another city.

So when it happens in another city, it’s the fans.

When it happens in NYC with fans wearing Knicks gear, it’s the decaying of society and culture but not the fans?

Haha I hope you were listening to your police scanner over the past week to tune into the debeauchary.

We mostly agree. There are just MORE scumbags in Philly than anywhere else, and that is in a second or third-rate smaller city. Not justifyin', just sayin'.

Some appalling and sickening behavior after the loss outside MSG from Knicks / NY fans.

I thought NYC was better than this, but apparently not.

Hopefully this gets cleaned up for the rest of the series and Spurs fans that are in attendance don’t have to fear for their lives.

Imagine wearing a Dylan Harper jersey at the game and getting assaulted and having it torn to shreds.

Sickening.












NYC had a very good record of not having stuff like this after winning at a big sporting event--and I used to point it out. No more. Really disappointing.

WTF with Taylor Swift. It's bad enough when watching a Chiefs game and she is present, 20 minutes of game coverage involves shots of her.

What exactly is her connection to NY? She grew up close to Philadelphia and moved to Nashville as a teenager. Zero connection to NYC.


Oh, she wore a "Stevie Knicks" t-shirt. And her dopey friends wore "Knickelback" and "Knickole Kidman" shirts.
Stevie Nicks is from Phoenix. Nicole Kidman is from Australia. Zero connection to NYC.



Yeah, get off my lawn.

She was front row in the Cleveland series rooting for the Cavs. Go home.

Loving the Bloomberg memes

Yep, B1G is 100% the old money, country club power conference lol. They got that dead on as Big 12 is the rogue wild card conference, SEC has the hot, rich coeds, and the ACC is the awkward nerdy conference. Not pictured is ND in a press box all by themselves lol.

Spot on. Scumbags everywhere but a ton more in philly. Again most of these videos just seem like teens taking over and acting like thugs. Sadly we are seeing more and more of this in today’s society. Actions need to have consequences. Hopefully they arrested some of these scumbags

First, there are 9.5 million people in the NYC boroughs. Not making excuses for morons , but there are going to be many in that environment. Secondly, I’m very glad I grew up when I did in the ‘70’s and early ‘80’s. If there were cameras everywhere and 24/7 news shows like today I would have been in big trouble back then.

I'm sort of curious how I get the "love to dump on other cities" title from you. Did I say something specific about Philly that upset you?

As for what is happening in NYC - I only said- it isn't like anyone wearing a spurs jersey was being attacked. And that I saw one video of one of your specific video's where the guy that got attacked, wasn't exactly as innocent as it seemed. It doesn't give a mob the right to do what they did but the guy was not just walking down the street.

That isn't defending anyone.

And I did not start a thread about the behavior of the Knick fans- why would I?

You are only posting because it makes you feel vindicated. That is kind of funny.

Posted the Waffle House girl above. This guy rambling on about European tourists here for FIFA experiencing middle America and the Waffle House at 1 a.m. !!!


Posted in the World Cup thread but I can’t get enough. Freddy is on a run- buccees, bass pro shops, Waffle House, visits with the Saints/Pelicans, driving around the South listening to country music getting all of the southern hospitality. Even discovered the country’s hottest music star and now she (or her people) messaged him. All from posting his positive experiences online. More of this, less rioting when our team wins/loses.

We know- you just wait to find anything to make you feel better about being a Philly fan.

Keep trying to make excuses for the inhumane behavior we are seeing in NYC and outside MSG.

I wonder if this kid deserved this as well?

Maybe you can do some research on X today and tell us.

I saw one with a guy from S Africa who was simply amazed at a gas station convenience store and how nothing was locked up and that he was able to walk around at night without getting assaulted

Nobody is saying anyone deserved anything. All these thugs should be arrested.
All fan bases have scumbag fans. Philly just has a bunch more than others.

At least you agree that all fanbases have scumbag fans.

I’ve made that point for years here but was always told on this board that this type of behavior doesn’t occur in other cities.

This thread is silly. There is no scumbag census quantifying the percentage of scumbags in a given fanbase. What these incidents prove is that, unfortunately, scumbags are everywhere and in every fanbase. I honestly think there are groups of people who don’t care at all about the sport and use these events as an opportunity to destroy stuff and hurt others.
