Mike Jeffries was the CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch from 1992 to 2014. Though he’s credited as the main reason for the brand’s success, he also sparked controversy for engineering the company’s former all-white marketing image. As a result, A&F experienced a decrease in sales until Jeffries’ departure. Years after doubling down on A&F’s past “good-looking” kid image from the early 2000s, Jeffries stayed out of the spotlight. He remained married to his wife, Susan, but reportedly lived separately…

There’s a colloquialism often said in the Black community when trying to decide whether to attend a social gathering: “Who all over there?” Opinion Columnist LZ Granderson LZ Granderson writes about culture, politics, sports and navigating life in America. Playwright Torie Wiggins, who recently wrote a play of the same title, said: “It really speaks to the level of comfort someone has in dominant spaces. … It just really means, what am I about to walk into, and am I prepared?”I wonder if the Puerto Ricans who attended Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday were prepared to…

The World Series is here and the broadcast networks are getting exactly what they dream about each year — a battle between the two largest media markets in the country. It’s sure to draw a lot of viewers. I’ll certainly be tuned in despite the fact that I’m already groaning over the sycophantic behavior from the media fawning over New York and Los Angeles. And to be clear, it has almost nothing to do with the players who will be showcasing their skills during the next week and change.

Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man is getting back behind the camera in no time. During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Tuesday night, Holland confirmed that his fourth “Spider-Man” movie is happening — and even has a production start date. “Next summer, we start shooting.

I can’t wait!” Holland’s most recent Spider-Man film, 2021’s “No Way Home,” saw his superhero teaming up with previous Spideys Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield — a major secret that Holland had to keep from Fallon the last time he was…

WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT THE OFFENSE Four-fifths of the Giants’ starting offensive line has stayed the same for eight weeks. The only exception is at left tackle, where there has been a void to fill after Andrew Thomas was placed on injured reserve after a season-ending foot surgery.

He played his first four seasons with the…

NEW YORK – They crammed in crowded 4 and D trains, packed the Bronx’s sports bars and streamed through the Yankee Stadium gates, ready to lend their voices to the comeback cause.
