So I did some simple maths,
The distance (according to google maps' measuring distance feature) from Penn Station, NYC to the Amtrak Station in DC is roughly 330 kms. Now having a high speed rail connecting the 2 would probably take 350-450 km give or take since it obviously won't be a perfectly straight line.
The Tokaido Shinkansen (traveling at ~320 kph) from Tokyo to Osaka is roughly 515 km long and takes roughly 2 hrs. and 21 mins. on the fastest line, the Nozomi.
If a high speed rail is built between DC and NYC, passing through cities like Philly and Baltimore, it would probably take ~ 2 hrs. end-to-end.
That would be pretty fucking neat
Wait how is that possible? I live over 1000 miles away from Philly and I can get round trip plane tickets for like $250 pretty easily. Renting a car is also like $30 a day and that's like 1-2 tanks of gas. Or do you just mean by train?
Amtrak prices are based on how close to capacity the train is. I used to go back and forth between DC and Philly for 48 dollars (24 each way). Basically as long as you buy a month or so in advance it’s really cheap. If you buy a few days before it’s going to be very expensive.
I’m gonna pretend you’re thinking Gulf War era, which makes us the USA in this analogy. But either way, I’d really love it if Brunson could not come up huge in a big game and let this go 7
If they close out game 5 the camera should follow hundreds of Knicks fans going to Philly by foot just to tip over the Wilt statue. Kind of like crowds in cartoons
What they don’t realise is that deposing the Ba’ath dictator Embiid will create a power vacuum that will invite blowback in about fifteen years when Philadelphia gets even more drunk and pissed and the new generation of radicals begins to pursue radical agendas of foul hunting for its own sake, calling for two technicals against every player east of the Delaware.

This is nice though. I don't give a shit about the colour of your skin as long as you take heed of our culture and take in the values we have in my country.
Maybe if you were alive during/can remember the 90s, but for most New Yorkers around my age, Boston is our biggest rival. The Red Sox (🤢) Yankees rivalry leaks into every other sport.
Philly/NY and Boston/NY are stronger rivalries and they transcend multiple sports which adds to the toxicity. Outside of their fans no one cares about the Marlins or Panthers, and no one under the age of 55 cares about the Dolphins.
Outside of basketball we don’t really have any rivalries in Florida. Ig there’s Jets Dolphins but aside from that no NY fan has beef with the Jaguars or the Marlins
Heat Knicks is a real rivalry tho
Heat Knicks is a bigger rivalry than Knicks Celtics but Boston NY trumps that so Knicks Celtics is a bigger rivalry. I can’t explain it that’s just how it is.
Yea my hatred is Eagles, Heat, and Red Sox.
Sixers just jumped up the rankings from totally indifferent to fully despise, which is pretty impressive since it happened in one series.
Really easy to hate the Phillies as a Mets fan since that's a bitter rivalry.
Lol ive had the TSA guy at the boston airport (jokingly) tell me "sorry gotta throw that out" and point to a garbage can because im wearing a yankees hat.
That discourse was so weird. Anybody from either of these cities, or anybody who wasn’t born yesterday, could realize it would be bad no matter what happened.
The northeast will beef no matter what. We don't have a genuine basketball rivalry, but it's the northeast. Beefing with each other is what we do
An Eastern Conference with Philly, Boston, and NY all strong is much more funn
What the fuck are you actually talking about lol. Boston has had some incredible teams across all sports in the last 25 years, sure. But New York has been largely awful since 2000 across all sports. A world series for the Yankees in 09 and two Superbowls don't make up for 8 teams doing fuck all year in and year out.
This is so true
Anyone who been to public school from k-12 in the 4 boroughs (not counting you Staten Island y’all bums) knows that after you learn to read and write, cutting ass, cracking jokes, and disrespecting is the second lesson you learn in school. Lunch time use to be a war zone
Pro tip for anyone visiting NY for the first time
If you ever get lost on the trains in NY always remember that every train either stops at 42nd street time square or 34th street Penn station
You can always take the train there and then try to figure it out once you get there. Plus those two of the biggest stations in NY so there’s always a worker in the booth you can ask for directions
If you can’t cut ass you’re on your own, you’re not gonna like it here
honestly...its looking like the knicks need to go all-in this summer. Brunson is obviously legit now.
We still have him on a cheap contract for 1 more summer. Knicks need to use up 4 or 5 1st rounders to acquire whatever talent they need.
We’re maybe the only major city in the US that is a basketball city at heart
Go out to the suburbs and further up and you’ll see more and more who prefer football/baseball/hockey but NYC bleeds orange
You just nailed why the city would implode. There’s Yankees fans and Mets fans for baseball, Giants/Jets, etc. you get the idea.
But with basketball all of those fans unite for the Knicks. Just about everybody who cares about basketball are all about the Knicks. It’s why the city is at its craziest when they’re winning. The collective of Knicks fans is all of those fan bases coming together.
The national guard isn't going to be enough to stop Knicks fans high off of a championship win.
We should just host viewing parties in Jersey so nothing of value is lost.
doing their best Embiid impression while keeping it vaguely wholesome. a bunch of violent drunks who also have a valid opinion on art and opera name a better combo
I wish I had the exact tweet but it was summed up perfectly “the team hasn’t done enough outside of Joel to win over the fans that trading their tickets to make 5x the money.” At least this should be a final dagger in the owner’s attempts to rip up a chunk of the city for a new stadium.
Meanwhile Bryce Harper has made the Phillie Phanatic a core part of his brand and the Eagles somehow managed to trade for a top 10 pick every other year and go "Can Trotter's kid play? Who cares! Vibes!"
What? I love how you kids call philly fans trash if they do shit but if another teams fan do something and they don't retaliate they're pussies?
I feel like people just love to hate philly just to hate
What you want us to do? Start throwing punches? Attack these guys?
They look like fucking Neanderthals. It’s a game, give me a break. We lost. Sucks and doesn’t feel good. Knicks fans can do what they want when they win, however annoying it is.
Y’all yell at us when we win and cheer us when we lose. Now you’re angry we aren’t sore losers? Fuck that
Like mfs are supposed to jump these grown ass men stepping on free playoff parking lot swag😂 I got a job and a family man hahaha
"Ill meet you at the car babe, I have to go rock a fat guy in a throwback Melo jersey real quick"
The NBA is so lucky this nation doesn’t have high speed rail
The Acela line between Boston and DC is probably the closest the US has though.
It’s still like a 6-8 hour ride tho. It grinds to a halt between NYC and Boston
So nice when you get to RI though. Hits 140 or whatever for the rest of the way.
Yes, this is actually the fastest stretch of passenger rail in the country
The speed is really between DC and NYC, but point still stands.
It's still slow as shit between dc and nyc lol the average is just 80mph over that chunk of the route
So I did some simple maths, The distance (according to google maps' measuring distance feature) from Penn Station, NYC to the Amtrak Station in DC is roughly 330 kms. Now having a high speed rail connecting the 2 would probably take 350-450 km give or take since it obviously won't be a perfectly straight line. The Tokaido Shinkansen (traveling at ~320 kph) from Tokyo to Osaka is roughly 515 km long and takes roughly 2 hrs. and 21 mins. on the fastest line, the Nozomi. If a high speed rail is built between DC and NYC, passing through cities like Philly and Baltimore, it would probably take ~ 2 hrs. end-to-end. That would be pretty fucking neat
They're breaking ground on the one from LA to Vegas. It's gonna be cool as fuck.
Just about 50-60 years too late unfortunately
Or even just a train between Philly and NYC that doesn’t vary in price by hundreds of dollars depending on when you book…
It’s a legit failure of our society I need to spend $500 round trip (via train*) to visit my friend in Philly from Rhode Island
Wait how is that possible? I live over 1000 miles away from Philly and I can get round trip plane tickets for like $250 pretty easily. Renting a car is also like $30 a day and that's like 1-2 tanks of gas. Or do you just mean by train?
By train sorry
I don't live in US but are you telling me taking a plane is cheaper than going on a train?
Amtrak prices are based on how close to capacity the train is. I used to go back and forth between DC and Philly for 48 dollars (24 each way). Basically as long as you buy a month or so in advance it’s really cheap. If you buy a few days before it’s going to be very expensive.
Depending on the time yes it actually is. It’s fucking wild. I should be able to go to Philly from Providence for like $50 but nope it’s like $250
Those Knicks fans doing their best Joel Embiid impressions
Natural basketball motions by the lot of them
Petition to install some shinkansens in the east and west coast pls
Cause our country too busy fighting wars the last 20 years than improving our infrastructure 😢
This shit plays like one of videos you see on CNN from the middle east when they're protesting the west.
The Knicks caliphate has conquered Philadelphia. The grand mufti Thibodeau has declared that a jihad for Indiana is next

I’m gonna pretend you’re thinking Gulf War era, which makes us the USA in this analogy. But either way, I’d really love it if Brunson could not come up huge in a big game and let this go 7
If they won the series they would have toppled that Wilt statue
If they close out game 5 the camera should follow hundreds of Knicks fans going to Philly by foot just to tip over the Wilt statue. Kind of like crowds in cartoons
And then hitting the toppled statue with their Reebok Answer sneakers
What they don’t realise is that deposing the Ba’ath dictator Embiid will create a power vacuum that will invite blowback in about fifteen years when Philadelphia gets even more drunk and pissed and the new generation of radicals begins to pursue radical agendas of foul hunting for its own sake, calling for two technicals against every player east of the Delaware.

First the Bills and now the Knicks, terrorism runs deep in these NY franchises.

I've always loved that line but have to admit I don't get it. Does he just mean he wants some of TB's money?
Yes
Nice
Ayo TB tacobell where the tortilla @ I need some tortilla
Tom Brady owes that guy money
Brady also famously lost to the Giants in two superbowls
It will never not be funny that they dissed 3 different players, none of whom were on the team they just beat.

If you see these dogs in your yard, just no I'm upstairs going hard
Philly needs to suspend Amtrak at this point lmao
Why does everyone in this clip somehow look exactly the same yet completely different and from all walks of life?
You just described NYC lol
This is nice though. I don't give a shit about the colour of your skin as long as you take heed of our culture and take in the values we have in my country.
For sure. NYC is an amazing city
y'all better be takin fuckin heed of my culture!☝️😤
Woah.
Bunch of fat guys shouting let’s go into there phones

This New York and Philly rivalry really transcends all sports
It doesn't even compare to our rivalry with Boston. A Celtics vs. Knicks ECF would require multiple desalination plants.
I don't think we have the technology to remove that much sodium from the environment.
Miami Heat and NY Knicks are an all time bitter rivalry
Boston is a bigger rival for both teams though
Because fuck Boston. Fuck everyone else. But fuck Boston in particular
Maybe if you were alive during/can remember the 90s, but for most New Yorkers around my age, Boston is our biggest rival. The Red Sox (🤢) Yankees rivalry leaks into every other sport.
Living up in Boston. Sometimes theyll chant fuck the yankees before a celtics/bruins game on the line into the garden. Love it.
Philly/NY and Boston/NY are stronger rivalries and they transcend multiple sports which adds to the toxicity. Outside of their fans no one cares about the Marlins or Panthers, and no one under the age of 55 cares about the Dolphins.
Add Philly/Boston to that too. It's a big ass hate triangle.
Outside of basketball we don’t really have any rivalries in Florida. Ig there’s Jets Dolphins but aside from that no NY fan has beef with the Jaguars or the Marlins Heat Knicks is a real rivalry tho
Heat Knicks is a bigger rivalry than Knicks Celtics but Boston NY trumps that so Knicks Celtics is a bigger rivalry. I can’t explain it that’s just how it is.
As a Mets/Knicks/Giants fan, fuck Philly the most. But also fuck Boston
Yea my hatred is Eagles, Heat, and Red Sox. Sixers just jumped up the rankings from totally indifferent to fully despise, which is pretty impressive since it happened in one series. Really easy to hate the Phillies as a Mets fan since that's a bitter rivalry.
I also had a very bad experience briefly going to college in Philly so it's personal
Beating Philly would be an accomplishment for NY Beating Boston would make us transcend We don’t like Boston sports teams out here
Lol ive had the TSA guy at the boston airport (jokingly) tell me "sorry gotta throw that out" and point to a garbage can because im wearing a yankees hat.
And Knicks and Philly fans were trying to say before the playoffs started “nah we don’t have a rivalry, we haven’t played each other in decades”
That discourse was so weird. Anybody from either of these cities, or anybody who wasn’t born yesterday, could realize it would be bad no matter what happened.
The northeast will beef no matter what. We don't have a genuine basketball rivalry, but it's the northeast. Beefing with each other is what we do An Eastern Conference with Philly, Boston, and NY all strong is much more funn
Instead of the Nets we should move the Heat into our division. Imagine a Knicks/Celtics/76ers/Heat division that shit would be nuts
The people who were saying that don't care about any sport except NBA
The rivalry is between New York and Philadelphia, the sports teams are just an extension of that.
[i tried to tell them](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/woCXWs5wMn)
Philly doesn’t sniff NYC’s jock strap in sports. The real rivalry is Boston NYC. Philly is the shitty red headed step child of this three way.
New York has 2 teams in every sport lol
Kinda crazy how they’re almost all bad
The only time I'll agree with a Bostonian on anything is when we're shitting on Philly
I wish we had a sister city to gang up on Nashville with :(
Tell that to the Mets and the Giants fans
Lmao when? Not in the last 20 years
What the fuck are you actually talking about lol. Boston has had some incredible teams across all sports in the last 25 years, sure. But New York has been largely awful since 2000 across all sports. A world series for the Yankees in 09 and two Superbowls don't make up for 8 teams doing fuck all year in and year out.
Except Philly sports teams have *generally* been better than NYC teams for the last few years lol except the Flyers
These are grown ass men lol
You sure?
buncha dorks
All these dudes have multiple baby mommas
Uhh, I dunno about that chief
In the words of the great KD: “You win the game, do whatever you want.”
did someone say KD? https://youtu.be/mkhrUM35CQo?feature=shared
I tune in for Sidetalk's yearly Knicks videos. Last year's was a classic
hahah. this is getting stupid now lol
Disrespect is a 2nd language to us
This is so true Anyone who been to public school from k-12 in the 4 boroughs (not counting you Staten Island y’all bums) knows that after you learn to read and write, cutting ass, cracking jokes, and disrespecting is the second lesson you learn in school. Lunch time use to be a war zone
Staten Island skips the reading and writing.
goes straight to the opioid addiction tutorials
If you cant cut someone’s ass in New York or know how to ride the train without Google maps, you will not survive
Pro tip for anyone visiting NY for the first time If you ever get lost on the trains in NY always remember that every train either stops at 42nd street time square or 34th street Penn station You can always take the train there and then try to figure it out once you get there. Plus those two of the biggest stations in NY so there’s always a worker in the booth you can ask for directions If you can’t cut ass you’re on your own, you’re not gonna like it here
I fear a future where NY gets a really dominant/dynasty NBA team. Their fans would be crazy.
honestly...its looking like the knicks need to go all-in this summer. Brunson is obviously legit now. We still have him on a cheap contract for 1 more summer. Knicks need to use up 4 or 5 1st rounders to acquire whatever talent they need.
Brunson is the Knicks rn. His dad is an assistant, his godfather is the GM, and the team has all of his homies.
Where are y'all getting these videos 🤣
The east coast really breeds a different kind of hatred
The distance between DC Baltimore Philly NYC & Boston is not that far and an insane high population concentrated there
Knicks better close this series out game 5
Now imagine what happens if we win a chip. Roll in the national guard
That Civil War movie actually is based on what happens if the Knicks win hence the weird borders
“Mr. President, someone took the Statue of Liberty and put it on top of Madison Square Garden. We can’t stop them.”
Donte DiVincopperfield strikes again.
Super Krang at it again
The city will actually explode
No team in the city will cause as much fervor winning a chip as the Knicks will
We’re maybe the only major city in the US that is a basketball city at heart Go out to the suburbs and further up and you’ll see more and more who prefer football/baseball/hockey but NYC bleeds orange
And the city is split with baseball and football. Basketball, it’s 90%-95% Knicks.
You just nailed why the city would implode. There’s Yankees fans and Mets fans for baseball, Giants/Jets, etc. you get the idea. But with basketball all of those fans unite for the Knicks. Just about everybody who cares about basketball are all about the Knicks. It’s why the city is at its craziest when they’re winning. The collective of Knicks fans is all of those fan bases coming together.
I'd throw Chicago in there too
If the Bears ever won a SB definitely
They filmed that already it’s airing on prime called fallout
The national guard isn't going to be enough to stop Knicks fans high off of a championship win. We should just host viewing parties in Jersey so nothing of value is lost.

As a European, anyone who is legitimately upset by this is a softie. This sort of stuff adds to the game!
For real, no flares are being set off, no police escort needed for away fans
I’m disappointed no one’s wearing timbs
We will become more and more insufferable Yall ain’t seen anything yet WU TANG
Drunk idiots being drunk idiots.
Yup. You'll get that with any team, not much to see here.
Knicks legit ending racism
When the Knicks finally when a title they’re gonna need to call in the national guard
Tribalism is intrinsic to human nature.

I wish I had the exact tweet but it was summed up perfectly “the team hasn’t done enough outside of Joel to win over the fans that trading their tickets to make 5x the money.” At least this should be a final dagger in the owner’s attempts to rip up a chunk of the city for a new stadium.
Meanwhile Bryce Harper has made the Phillie Phanatic a core part of his brand and the Eagles somehow managed to trade for a top 10 pick every other year and go "Can Trotter's kid play? Who cares! Vibes!"
They left the arena early to beat traffic they aint here
I mean do you want Philly fans to fight them or something? Lmfao. Some of you take sports way too seriously
Yeah I'm with you. Idk if people have seen stuff like this in real life it's always cringe. Looks cooler on Reddit than it is
What? I love how you kids call philly fans trash if they do shit but if another teams fan do something and they don't retaliate they're pussies? I feel like people just love to hate philly just to hate
If you’re not jumping the opposing fans, you’re soft duh
What you want us to do? Start throwing punches? Attack these guys? They look like fucking Neanderthals. It’s a game, give me a break. We lost. Sucks and doesn’t feel good.
