Why wouldn’t Eli play? Geno Smith is terrible. Let Eli have another start or two in front of the home crowd - effectively an apology from the brass for how this was all handled - and then give Webb a game or two at the very end to get a look at him in game action. Am I so blinded by my affection for Eli that I am…

Yeah, Jeets?

Another FJM day would be glorious.

It is arbitrary, but I guess your Dylan comparison kind of highlights the point. These are some pretty basic lyrics. Deadspin crew; sniffing glue; orange and blue. I mean, this isn’t exactly Subterranean Homesick Blues. Here, look (to the tune of Jingle Bells):

I watched this the other night when you guys put it up on Twitter and I couldn’t really wrap my head around it. The second viewing is different. And, there won’t be a third. Anyway, two observations:

Call it the broken clock theory if you want, but it cannot be stressed enough that (almost) every single thing Mike says here is correct. The decision to move in another direction away from Eli is not insane. Maybe it’s time (although I question how easily the Giants will find a suitable replacement). But the way…

I think they need to Fire Joe Morgan (R.I.P., baby. R.I.P.).

I think it would be great if they named one of the college football playoff games after him, but I can’t think of what they would call it so nevermind.

2017, in pictures.

Dude you have a master bath with two sinks?

AOL? More like LOL, amirite?

Classy move by the front office: back the bus up over a guy who has never missed a start, (almost) never caused a controversy, made it work with such easygoing and selfless personalities as Tikki Barber, Jeremy Shockey and Odell Beckham Jr., brought home the Lombardi trophy twice, has played for the last two seasons…

There is always something of a halo effect cast over celebrities who die unexpectedly and too young. But every single thing I have read about this guy —I mean 100%, without exception — is that he was just an absolutely wonderful person and teammate. It’s unanimous. It’ll be a fitting tribute if his election to the…

I am a Knicks fan (as much as one can be, I suppose), so believe me when I tell you that I really want this to be it. But the path away from Russ is pretty well-trodden . . . .

Intermittent NBA fan here with a question. Is OKC this bad? If so, how on earth is OKC this bad? I’ll hang up and listen to your answer.

I love you.

If we learned anything from the anthem protests, it’s that the players - when they act collectively, or even appear that they might act collectively - have a shitload more leverage over the owners than they’ve ever tried to exert.

Agree. My (somewhat obvious) point was only that second-guessing any of the decisions that the Dodgers made in this series may ignore the randomness that goes into deciding the outcome between teams that are this good and this closely-matched. Dave Roberts didn’t get out-managed in this series. He got…

Gotta put Kristaps in that conversation, too, no?

Thanks. That’s actually a really good point: both teams scored exactly 34 runs in this series.
