The way the Mets looked on Friday night against the Angels was the way they were supposed to look.

I think we can call off the contest line, and declare that the Nets trade for and one that got the Celtics the No. 1 pick this season and gets them another No. 1 next season, is the worst single trade in all of modern sports history.

In what world is it a good idea that a vote for All-NBA teams helps determine how much money players like

and can get paid as free agents?

It sometimes seems less important to that his sons become stars as it is that he has become a big star in the world of cheesy celebrity.

said, “We’re good at what we do” the other night, and I guess my question is: Relative to what, Zen guy? It is always worth rememberin­g, as we move up on the start of the French Open, that after last year’s French Open had won the last four majors in men’s tennis and was halfway to the calendar Grand Slam. I kind of could have gotten by without them playing “My Way” as Jeter rode in from the outfield last Sunday night. By the way? If you take the ovation for out of the conversati­on, no one got a louder greeting at the Stadium than

did. They loved him at the new place the first time they saw him, they loved him when he tore the cover off the ball in Game 6 against the Phillies in 2009, and they still love him.

About halfway through the Yankees-Royals game on Thursday night, I actually started to wonder if

was aware that we could all hear him. You hear the ballplayer that

was come out every single time he sees someone in the game he’s watching on SNY or WPIX not play the game right.

I don’t know what happens with the Mets the rest of the way, but

the kid from the Bronx, continues to remind us why he’s a keeper. Whatever you think of

drug use, she paid a very heavy price for it and served out her suspension, and the idea that the people in charge of the French Open now decide she doesn’t even get a spot in the qualifying tournament shows what small-timers these people really are.

But this is a tournament that 43 years ago kept out because he was playing World Team Tennis, in a year when Connors won the other three majors and probably would have won a calendar Grand Slam himself.

From the New York Times on Friday:

told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director,

had relieved ‘great pressure’ on him, according to a document summarizin­g the meeting.”

So once again, the 45th President of the United States is the gift that keeps on giving.

Especially if you’re, say, oh I don’t know, a special prosecutor like When plays the way he did against the Celtics in Game 1, you once again start to get the idea that the sides are going to be even when the Cavs play the Warriors in Ali-Frazier III. It truly is amazing how similar numbers are to at a comparable point in their two careers.

wife says that Touchdown Tom had a concussion last season and now Brady’s agent says he didn’t, and so there’s a nice healthy dialogue the two of them have going.

If Donald Trump twists himself around one more time about that memo wrote after Trump had already decided to fire James Comey, we’re going to have to give his moves a name, like they do in figure skating: The triple Rosenstein. Sort of like a triple lutz. And kids, you know the deal: Don’t try this at home. We really did need the slaughter rule for Cavs-Celtics on Friday night.
