Are NYPD unions using their political endorsements to build relationships in Albany—and are the pension bills they're celebrating actually benefiting the majority of cops? On this episode of New York's Finest: Retired & Unfiltered, we examine the relationship between NYPD unions, Albany lawmakers, political endorsements and the pension legislation being passed in New York. The latest example involves changes affecting the NYPD Police Pension Fund. Tier 2 Final Average Salary: S.7808-A/A.8322-A changes the salary-base calculation for Tier 2 NYPD members hired on or after July 1, 2000. Instead of being limited to their final 12 months, eligible members can receive the more favorable calculation available to earlier Tier 2 members. Legislative actuarial estimates identified approximately 9,007 active members in the affected population as of June 30, 2025, but how many will actually choose this option? Mandatory Retirement Age: S.5053-B/A.8178-B raises the mandatory retirement age to 65 for affected Tier 2 and Tier 3 NYPD members. Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the legislation on September 28, 2026. We'll ask how many cops actually benefit from these measures, how significant those benefits are to the overall membership, and how these legislative victories factor into the unions' political relationships. Then comes the endorsement controversy. The NYC PBA endorsed the Democratic challenger to State Senator Stephen Chan, despite Chan being a retired NYPD Sergeant and U.S. Marine with a public record emphasizing policing and public safety. And there is another fact that makes this discussion particularly interesting: Chan himself co-sponsored the legislation raising the NYPD mandatory retirement age to 65. So what explains the endorsement decision? What criteria does the PBA use? How much weight is given to legislation, incumbency, political relationships and other considerations? We'll separate the documented legislation, endorsements and campaign support from the broader allegation of a political quid pro quo—which would require evidence beyond the existence of favorable legislation and subsequent political support. Union money. Albany legislation. Pension benefits. Political endorsements. We follow all of it and ask whether NYPD union political strategy reflects what rank-and-file members want from the organizations representing them.

Jessica Coody sat down with assistant coach Brennan Hagar for this week's episode of "The Dig" to recap Husker VB's last non-conference weekend of the season, the atmosphere against Creighton inside PBA, Manaia Ogbechie and her B1G Player of the Week performance, what makes her so special as a blocker, how Kenna Cogill stepped up when Manaia was out against Creighton, Keoni Williams getting opportunities against FGCU, Andi Jackson's "Launch Laser," Laney Choboy's serving role, and much more!

Show Notes provided by Joe Peluso The boys are back at the sports desk with their usual predictions, plaudits, pontifications, and pet peeves. Being a sports fan is akin to taking an endless ride on a rollercoaster--from euphoric highs to devastating lows--a fan's emotions are hair's breadth from fair or foul, like a fly ball down the line at Yankee Stadium. They call baseball a "game of inches". Being a fan of any sport is a game of holding onto one's sanity.   And here to once again put all this court side action intoperspective are your hosts Chris and Joe. The boys have much to say about the impending MLB PLayoffs, the upcoming NHL season, the NFL, the NBA, the Yankees, the Mets, the Rangers, the Devils, the Islanders, the PBA bowler who made history this past season, and when is New York going to erect a s statue to Jalen Brunson?  Pull out your clipboard, binder, or tablet because schemes, systems, processes, and metrics will be analyzed. Guard that playbook with your life, and don't tip your pitches! And be sure you are five minutes early to the team meeting--or you're late!   The world of a pro sports fan: It doesn't have to make sense aslong as your team wins.

Show notes provided by Chris LaBanca Hello there, sports- *cough cough SNEEZE*Sorry, y'all. It's a bit tough to talk with all of the dust flying up off of the sports desk. There are enough cobwebs here that even Spidey himself would be a little uneasy. But we thought: enough is enough! We must brave the dust bunnies because we may have missed some sports news while we were away from the desk.We start by talking about the Knicks' championship run: the love it engendered from the city and the tale of grit that is really familiar as a sports stereotype, but never fails to land spectacularly when it's genuine. We talk about baseball, focusing on the Mets and Yankees, as we so often do. But we also talk about the upcoming CBA, the probable lockout, and whether or not MLB really *needs* a salary cap. We also talk briefly about injuries that are becoming more commonplace in the sport.We talk PBA and a tragic loss before moving on to discuss the NHL. We talk a little about the Hurricanes and their championship, and the likelihood of them continuing their winning ways (spoiler alert: the Panthers might have something to say about that...). We talk Rangers, Isles, Devils, and we discuss Joe's further tumble into the hockey rabbit hole, as he is now going to be staying up just a little later in order to follow the Minnesota Wild this season!Hang with us, sports fans, as we try to get back into the swing of things. We're glad you're here!

The PBA introduces the ALL NEW PBA Elite Regional Tour. This introduces a brand new format to regionals and how some players can now make their way to the PBA Tour. We sit down with 2-time and major PBA champion, Alex Horton. His rookie campaign this year has been phenomenal and he etched his name in the PBA history books! 

Your brain is wired to notice problems, but constantly focusing on what's wrong can stall progress, exhaust leaders, and create a fearful salon or spa culture. In this episode, Kati explores the difference between pessimism, blind optimism, and realistic optimism—and shares how effective leaders face the facts, focus on what they can control, and believe improvement is possible. You'll learn how to interrupt negative thought patterns, recognize harmful "absolute language," celebrate meaningful wins, and expect solution-minded leadership from your team. Walk away with practical questions that will help you address challenges without allowing them to overshadow everything that's already going right.
