yendiThe Mets got Looper! Yay! Anyone (including Jesse Orosco) would be an upgrade over Benitez, but I'm pretty happy with Looper's potential.
And tomorrow, the Hall of Fame announcements! If there's any justice, we'll see the largest group of players ever inducted this year. Seriously, I see eight or nine deserving people on the ballot. Although I know that folks like Sandberg and Gossage are going to get screwed.
In football, the two playoff games yesterday featured two of the most memorable plays I've seen. The Untouched Touchdown essentially killed the Broncos -- you just can't recover when your entire defense shows a collective IQ of about six. I could see Coyer losing his job over this one. Frankly, if he didn't train his guys to make sure a guy was down, he deserves it.
And that Seahawks/Packers game was amazing. Heartbreaking for Hasselbeck, but still amazing. One fucking turnover.
