Blake is this Open’s champion & Tomlin’s Beli-aching ....

-

For the last time, ask yourself a question about the shameful treatment of James Blake in front of the Grand Hyatt the other afternoon:

What might have happened with that overheated cop if Blake had resisted him in any way?

Everybody, from the mayor on down, is lucky that James Blake was better than everybody involved in this thing from the start.

His mother raised him and taught him not to engage in any possible confrontat­ion like that. He didn’t. And saved everybody. I thought Tom Brady looked very engaged by Thursday night’s athletic competitio­n, didn’t you?

By the way, it’s kind of heartwarmi­ng to see Brady go from being “The Destroyer” — of cell phones — back to being Touchdown Tommy again.

If Roger Goodell is still insisting that the NFL doesn’t need an independen­t arbitrator, or panel of arbitrator­s, for disciplina­ry cases, he’s still watching the wrong movie.

Interestin­gly enough, a movie in which he’s one of the stars. Not so easy to do. Does Mike Tomlin or anybody else actually believe that after everything that has happened to, and around, the New England Patriots, that Bill Belichick and his mischief makers would actually pick this particular night to jack around with the Steelers’ headsets?

Rick Perry, we hardly knew ye. Wait. I take that back. We did know ye, and have always wondered why ye thought ye were qualified to be the leader of the free world.

The way things are going for the Yankees, David Cone may be looking at a spot start before long.

Stephen Colbert’s first week doing “The Late Show” was smart and funny, but who thought it wouldn’t be smart and funny? Okay, who’s fearing the beard (Ryan Fitzpatric­k) the most on Sunday afternoon at MetLife — the Browns or Jets fans? Oh, come on, we kid because we love. It was a very cool thing at the Open on Friday when Novak Djokovic, a class act as a champion the way Roger Federer, his opponent in Sunday’s final, is a class act, to tell the crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium after a beatdown that his opponent,

Marin Cilic, had played hurt. There is some talk that Canada might not want

Lindsay Lohan, and I’m just hoping nobody has to build a wall to keep the kid out. I am officially ready for Eli to throw one deep to

Mr. Beckham on Sunday night.
