Ridiculous. If there is one thing about Jimmy Carter that stands out it's character.

Carter failed to inspire and was the victim of many developments outside his control. Every president is dealt a hand. His wasn’t great. And he didn’t play it all that well. I think his much maligned malaise speech was an apt metaphor for his presidency; an inability to have his message resonate with the public.

Lived the rest of his life with purpose.

Happy birthday Mr President.

An amazing human being! We should all strive to do as much good in this world as Jimmy has done.

Much of what you've heard about Carter and Reagan is wrong

A disingenuous and an accurate article. Even Democrats agree that Carter was not a good president so you can stop right there.

If you recall, the threat of SDI (Strategic Defense initiative, or Star Wars), forced Russia to back down and ultimately begin negotiating with the US on a nuclear disarmament plan. So yeah, he spent less money, but it was about the strategy not just building up arms, which was the problem.

Let’s just honor someone who showed dignity while President and class/giving back the rest of his life. Happy Birthday!

Try harder.

Sorry boomers—but he actually deserves the credit for things wrongly attributed to your boy Reagan.

Anyway, the above narrative is almost entirely wrong. Carter was a deregulator who didn’t increase deficits much, and appointed the Fed chair who beat inflation. Reagan didn’t do much deregulating, nor did he increase defense spending much as a share of GDP — and the USSR didn’t fall because of the arms race. Let’s go through these points one by one.

Legendary American life. From WWII to Trump. His rise politically to win the Presidency was also truly remarkable.

Nice way to create some buzz. They got a great turnout too.

The Hall won’t be in any of these and probably 8-9th in most prognostications. Again. Ho-hum.

And I expect Sha’s team to outperfom it yet again. Just the way we roll.

Happy Birthday President Carter!

After saying that, Carter did some great work with Habitat for Humanity.

But, he was a horrible President and he opinions on foreign policy are atrocious. At times, it seems like he was more comfortable being around our enemies than our friends.

Amazing resilience….making a mockery out of hospice care. God bless.

I believe Sandy had under 250 deaths associated with it across all countries.

NJ and NY was 87 total of that number.

I couldn't care less about Clark or Taurasi, and the impression I was left with was pettiness, which does not rank high on the likability spectrum. I actually didn't have much of a positive impression on Clark prior to the wnba shenanigans considering she had plenty of moments seemingly in the style of her own dad yelling onto the court to tell her to shut up.

She is a generational player like Bird, Magic or Jordan. The jealousy is because she’s that good.

Actually, I don't think either have.

It's amazing to me how the Caitlin Clark zealots have a meltdown over any statement that isn't a deification of her.

Because players like Tarausi were excellent for a long time who put in a lot of effort to make the WNBA a better mainstream product but despite their efforts it never happened.

Then they watch after all those years a rookie come in and take over the headlines and single handedly change the attendance and coverage and it is reason enough to make the old timers and sub par players jealous. Not that I agree with their feelings

And what exactly do you base that on, other than your imagination?

Glad to see that he has a long life, but a terrible President.

Not a great pres. But a great man.

If those helicooters didnt fail on the hostage rescue attempt i wonder if it goes different for jimmy.

SMH. Par for the course. The players and former players are so jealous of everything Caitlin Clark its disgusting. Instead of embracing the huge increase in attention she has garnered for women's basketball, they resent it - and her.

I watched the replay of the eye poke (attached below) and it looks completely intentional to me. To accuse a reporter who simply asked about it of being racist, homophobic and misogynistic is completely uncalled for.

I like the move from the Knicks POV. They weren't ready to give Randle an extension coming off the injury and they had a big hole at the 5 that needed to be filled.

They have an interesting starting 5 with 3 big scorers (Brunson, KAT & Bridges) and 2 versatile defenders who can also rebound and score in OG & Hart. Losing Divencenzo hurts their depth but they like McBride and also have Landry Shamet at SG.
