New perspective on Rex, the bubble, Djokovic’s reckless move & MLB...
● The more you grade Rex
Ryan against the curve, and the more you remember that he went to two AFC Championship games with Mark Sanchez as his quarterback, the more you think he’s the best coach the Jets have had since Weeb Ewbanks.
Seriously:
If you’re a Jets fan, would you rather have Gase, or would you rather have Rex back?
● They can talk about that Disney World bubble all the want to in the NBA.
But you know what doesn’t care about bubbles, or bubbleheaded politicians who’ve turned stubbornness into a virus, or American idiots who think they don’t need to wear masks:
COVID-19 doesn’t care. ● Apparently the only person not on the list of Knicks’ coaching candidates is Coach Riley. ● Novak Djokovic is one of the most impressive tennis players in history, just because he took on Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal – who have won 39 majors between them — in their primes and now has a winning record against both of them. He might eventually win more majors than both of them. And having said that, what the hell was he thinking staging the event in Belgrade and putting 20,000 people in the stands and then partying with fellow players like it was 2019? Now he’s tested positive and
Grigor Dimitrov has tested positive, and so has Victor Troiki and his pregnant wife.
I don’t care what the government over there said.
This was Djokovic’s show all the way, and no matter what his intentions were, he put himself at risk and he put his friends at risk and might even have put the ’20 reboot of men’s tennis at risk.
It was reckless, irresponsible, and plain stupid, and goes on his permanent record, along with the 17 majors he’s won himself. ● I have only just now become aware of the crime literature of a Glasgow-born writer named
Mason Cross, and that’s on me, because his books about a character named Carter Blake are great.
He’s also now writing under the pseudonym Alex Knight.
● By the way?
Wouldn’t it be something if Serena Williams won singles major No. 24 without any fans in the stands at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center?
● I want to see Alonso hit one out the first day.
I want to see deGrom throw a shutout.
I want to see Aaron Judge healthy again and hitting balls out of sight himself.
I want to see Gerrit Cole strike his first guy out at the Stadium. I get it.
It’s not the season we expected.
It’s not the season we wanted, at Yankee Stadium or Citi Field or anywhere.
But it’s the season we’ve got. It’s baseball.
The Babe called it the only real game.
You gonna argue with The Babe on this?
