WHACK BACK AT VAC

-

Richard Siegelman: I am confident the current Knicks team, despite its 11-47 record, could still sweep the 9-73 Philadelph­ia 76ers team from 1972-73 in a seven-game series — especially since all of its players are in their 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Vac: Watch out for Kevin Loughery, though, who still has that sneaky-quick J. Howard Siegel: Another Post article quotes David Fizdale as saying, “I like where we are.” I think the Rosenbergs said this just as the warden pulled the switch.

Vac: Quoting the cook in “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”: “Fellas, it’s been good to know ya!” @therickkar­as: In regards to Jacob deGrom, haven’t we heard this “don’t be cheap, pay him what he wants, it’s a no-brainer” outcry before? Wright. Cespedes. Harvey. Just sayin’.

@MikeVacc: For now and for the foreseeabl­e future, the biggest issue with the Mets is so few of their fans trust the owners’

motivation­s — even when, as in this case, it seems they are merely being prudent, not pernicious.

Gerard Briggs: When it comes to Kyler Murray, we are forgetting that it’s the kid’s life. He loves playing football more than baseball. When someone loves

what they do, then the prospect of injuries isn’t a concern. The kid is not making his decision based on money which I find very refreshing.

Vac: I really do hope he stays injury-free and builds a wonderful case that “undersized” QBs can be successful in the NFL. But if he’s just as good a baseball player I’ll always have a lingering “what if?”
