Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

Unfortunately I wasn't creative enough to come up with that moniker, but someone who the Post talked to was.

Maybe Kevin Burkhardt can ask Danny Sessa to give an explanation.

Meh, just came back from the stadium today

No problems in my section nor with the drinks and food that we brought into the game so doesn’t bother me.

Deadspin is a pretty cool site

Do we just have a rivalry with every other half-decent sports blog?

Meh

I wouldn’t characterize Deadspin as “half-decent”. I’d call it TMZ for sports.

Thank you. I’ll be here all week. Tip your servers.

Wow!

The Post is really going above and beyond now in their attempts to rip the Mets. Honestly, how do those hacks keep their jobs.

And the sports section isn't even the worst part of the paper! (more like tabloid)

This has to be the worst POS story ever written.

If even half the shit described is true, the city inspectors are to blame, especially on the issue about “not enough outlets”.

That said. Stuff happens in buildings. Pipes clog, pipes leak, fuses blow. It happens on a weekly basis in the 300,000 sq ft. where I work. You fix it, get it inspected and re-certififed, and move on.

Jeez.

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
