Something any longtime Knicks supporter can tell you is that it’s important to maintain perspective, to not get too high off the highs or ruined by the lows, both in life and in sports, because we’ve seen it all. A crucial piece of this frank awareness is recognizing your blessings as they come to you, because a restrained, compartmentalized segment of your consciousness appreciates that such blessings won’t last forever.

“America first does not mean America alone,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on April 23, seeking to reassure the market three weeks after the president declared Liberation Day and tariffed the world. Spooked by turbulence in the bond market—or eager to discard the pretense that this wasn’t primarily about a Sino-American decoupling—the White House had already announced a ninety-day pause exempting all countries besides the Middle Kingdom from the new import levies.

I told myself it was a matter of gaining “tournament experience.” The bowling coach in my head was barking encouragement. Get out there and compete. You miss every shot you don’t take. You think you’re a good bowler? How well can you bowl when there’s money on the line? But by now, after a couple decades of trying, I have low expectations. I’m an underachiever under pressure.

The tour guide for ASARCO’s open-pit copper mine in Sahuarita, Arizona, was a stooping man with a salt-and-pepper beard and a monotone voice. His name was Dave. He addressed us from the front of a bus, where our group sat wearing branded hard hats and orange safety vests. “Mines,” the tour website had warned, “are inherently risky places.” By visiting an active copper mine, we assumed the risk of injury or death, but thankfully we could mitigate that risk by wearing closed-toed shoes.

This past winter, the forty-nine members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Selection Committee faced a difficult task: they were asked to reconsider the case of Jim Tyrer. In the 1960s and early 1970s, Tyrer ranked high among the league’s dominant linemen. From his position as left tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs, he protected Hall of Fame quarterback Len Dawson’s blind side for 180 games straight, a team record at the time.
