A dollar invested in the firm's flagship hedge fund at inception would be worth $28 after fees at the end of 2025, compared to less than $9 for the S&P 500.

"It's an iconic city. It's always been part of our mission as a company to bring fans into collecting and turn fans into collectors. We think Brooklyn is an amazing community and we think that this part of Brooklyn is full of people who collect."

"You could tell where his skill set was as a coder and as a thinker, and he was just supremely advanced. He was taking senior-level courses as a freshman and showing up to a three-hour final exam, two hours late, and getting the highest grade in class."

The first half was brilliant on offense, brilliant on defense. The second half, it's tough to play with a lead against a good-shooting team and they made some threes that were amazing. Outside of that, we played a great game.

CardVault by Tom Brady, the industry's premier national retailer of sports cards and memorabilia, opened a new store at 80 Flatbush Ave. last week, marking its latest expansion into the New York market. A grand opening ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. The first 25 customers in line will receive a free New York CardVault-branded hat, and the brand is also giving away a mini football helmet signed by New York Giants legend and two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning.

The only good reason to be mad at him is that he has leveraged the unlimited resources and power of Klutch Sports, CAA, Spotify, and The Ringer to make daytime SportsCenter simulacrum without the catchphrases. Paul and Kellerman's FanDuel-sponsored podcast is bad. It's bad in the sort of banal way that most podcasts are bad-the hosts don't say much of substance, they are stricken with red light syndrome, and their riffs are obtuse and unimaginative.

If you were an immigrant kid in New York at the turn of the twentieth century, the candy store was the center of your world. You went there to kibbitz and schmooze, to get away from the crush of tenement life and the glare of the beat cop, and, of course, to eat sweets-Tootsie Rolls and Chicken Feeds and as many chocolate pennies as a copper one could buy.

Personalization is a tried-and-tested way to boost engagement while gathering valuable information about existing audiences - and is proving to be a key driver for the sports industry, says Rawnet's Harry Daniel. For brands looking to score with digital marketing, personalization is a winning long-term business strategy. Personalizing the user experience (UX) via websites and apps keeps fans engaged and enhances brand loyalty. It can help brands to grow, by extending their reach to new users and unleashing untouched opportunities for victory.

Probably not. They've got stars all over the damn place, and to judge from years of vitriol you have to assume that by jettisoning Nick Castellanos the Phillies have banked another 20 wins, easily. The loss of Ranger Suárez stings, I'm sure, but the Phillies still go at least six deep in trustworthy starting pitchers. Barring several disasters, the Phillies will contend for the crown of the punishing NL East.

Whenever an idea pops into Oscar Rachmansky's head, he whips out a notebook or whatever scrap of paper is closest and writes it down. It's a habit you might expect from a Gen Xer or elder millennial clinging to analog comfort. Rachmansky is neither. He's 24, and the company he founded about five years ago generated $40 million in sales revenue in 2025 (confirmed from documents reviewed by Business Insider).

In a long post on X, Marcus spoke about several flaws in PayPal, a San Jose-based fintech giant, across its history. Marcus left PayPal in 2014 and has since worked at Coinbase and Meta. He has also founded a payments company, Lightspark, where he is now CEO. He said he had woken up to messages from former PayPal colleagues, which pushed him to "finally speak up."
