What happened

Phil Simms had some words of wisdom for Jaxson Dart.

Why it matters

Dart has been through a lot off the field in the past two weeks, beginning with his recent appearance at a rally for President Donald Trump, where he introduced the commander in chief to supporters at Rockland Community College.

Common ground

Then on Wednesday, the Giants quarterback and linebacker Brian Burns took a trip down to San Antonio to watch the Knicks win Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
