Probably just me but I think the NFL having a playoff game exclusively on Peacock is disgraceful. It’s never about the fans and always about the money. I hope it gets the lowest rating of any playoff game.
Well wish me luck...after 12 years, tomorrow I put in my two week notice as I begin the process of starting my own business. Nervous and excited at the same time.
The hatred for Scherzer blows me away. He wasn’t great for us this year but the guy is getting old. That’s what happens to older athletes. How can you rip a guy for getting old and losing his stuff? His signing helped give us credibility last year. I’m perplexed.
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the Favorite Comedy Movie Bracket. Your favorite Movie is.......Blazing Saddles ...with 27.5% of votes compared to 26.8% for Caddyshack. There were 1409 votes tallied. Thanks everyone for participating! My next bracket coming soon.
My choices for

Carlos Beltran and any others without MLB experience.
#mets
fans...please trust me! I have been watching baseball for almost 50 years. You do NOT want Dusty Baker as the next manager! He makes Callaway’s in-game moves look smart. He’s an A+ guy controlling a clubhouse. He’s an F regarding in-game management. Say NO to Dusty!

My new toy...a pitchback! I consider it to be my third son. He plays catch whenever I want to, he doesn’t ask for money, and he doesn’t answer me back. He’s a keeper!
So in case you have nothing to do this weekend my next bracket will be Favorite Musical Bands from the 70’s and 80’s. 128 entries. I will post preliminary brackets tonight! From Zepellin to Partridge Family to Bee Gees to Journey...they’re all in one big bracket! Stay tuned!

So my Dad moved here from Italy at 13 and lived in Bronx. He became a Yankee fan but not a devout fan. In 1968 he took me to my first Met game because it was easier to get to Shea from LI than Yankee Stadium. Because of that I’m a

By Bracket winners so far. Unfortunately this may be my last bracket for a while. My career change hasn’t happened as of yet and I’m forced to work nights and weekends for the foreseeable future. Luckily the bracket master,
@joe_manniello
has more in the works! Hope to C U soon!
As someone who’s done a lot of writing in my life, I can’t help but watch that dumbass wet teddy bear commercial and think that somebody actually sat down, put pen to paper, and wrote that crap...then showed it to others who gave it the approval. I mean...damn!
Bracket friends: I know I’ve stayed away from brackets for a bit as there seems to be many more out there, and I’ve been in the wrong frame of mind, but I’ll get back in the ring tomorrow night: Favorite Songs with the word “Night” in the title. More info to come tomorrow!

The Red Sox are hiring Chaim Bloom to be their next GM. He should have been named the

Song Bracket winner is.......
Song: In Your Eyes
Movie: Say Anything
Artist: Peter Gabriel
This was a pleasant surprise. It was a 5 seed and easily defeated its competitors.
Thanks to those who participated! Info on my next bracket in few minutes.
Bracketeers....my next bracket will be: Favorite Pre 2000 Songs With a persons name in the title ...
(I.e. Roxeanne, Me and Julio Down By Schoolyard, Eleanor Rigby, etc)
Song must have been Top 40 (no deep cuts or tracks), and no song with the name “Jude” is eligible. Date TBD
Why do I do brackets? I’ve been writing mostly comedy my entire life. Other than local theatre stuff, corporate videos, and a sports website, I’ve had little opportunity to be creative. This gives me that opportunity while entertaining you, and what could be better than that?
...And the winner of the Favorite TV Show Theme Song Bracket is: Cheers with an overwhelming win over Happy Days.
Thanks to all who participated! Possibly a new bracket will be released Sunday or Monday.
Thank you all for putting up with my brackets!!!
I’m overdue for one of my brackets…so the hiatus ends tonight….
The Favorite (non season long) TV Game Show bracket will begin tonight.
Vote for your favorite TV game show! Hope to see you tonight…

Raiders of the Lost Ark
We started with 309 movies and you’ve chosen your favorite!

Thanks for participating guys!!!
Favorite 70’s and 80’s Solo Artist Bracket Players:
Don’t forget there will be no voting tonight due to it being my Fantasy Football Draft night!
Btw I have a possible new job opportunity. It would be a much needed change. Good vibes for me please!
My first project using iMovie. Please let me know what you think! This is an ACTUAL preview of my upcoming Favorite Action Adventure Movie Bracket. Not very long...but I think it looks pretty cool! Be sure to play sound to add to the effect!
Okay so I am going to put out the Favorite Conedy Movie Bracket tonight for your viewing pleasure (or displeasure) at about 10pm. Voting will begin tomorrow night about 730. This will be a 256 entry bracket so get ready to do some voting!
How can state vote counters send their staffs home to go to sleep and finish counting in the morning??? This is Election Day deciding a Presidential election for crying out loud! No one goes home until all counting is done! Seriously....wtf?
Now that Cano is back, JD Davis rides the pine? I don’t get it. He should be starting tonight. He’s the second leading hitter (BA) on the club. Who sits when Lowrie returns?
Are the Phillies a better team on paper than the Mets? They are not. They even have a bullpen that implodes regularly. So what’s the difference? Oh yeah the manager…the same manager the old regime passed on.
Bracket friends: The“Worst Song Ever Made Between 1960-2000 Bracket” is on! This is the Frightful Four!
Remember!!! You’re voting for the song you DISLIKE More! You’re voting for the tune that SUCKS more! Okay? Please vote and RT.

“With a First Name (not named Jude) in the Title” bracket players...due to a little thing called my birthday, there will be no bracket posted tonight so my family can take me out for dinner and have a cake for me (aren’t they nice?). I’ll be back Saturday night!
Staying home tonight on NYE? Me too. I’m starting a Non Prime-time cartoon character bracket. 96 entries w/pictures. Probably start around 8ish…so if you’re staying in and need a little entertainment look for the bracket. If nothing else may bring back memories from years ago.
So as I research for my “One Hit Wonders Bracket” of the 70’s and 80’s I had to eliminate Build Me Up Buttercup as it was released in 1969. But interesting stat: this is one of the most played/used 60’s songs, yet it only peaked at number 92 on Billboard...92???? Late bloomer!
Friends....that’s it for the brackets tonight ! It’s been a pleasure spending my NYE with you all! Happy New Year my friends!!!!
Round 2 of the music bracket will commence tomorrow night.
Bracket Friends: I don’t think this is on
@joe_manniello
upcoming bracket list (Joe if it is let me know)
I’m going to put out a One Hit Wonder Bracket of the 70’s and 80’s this weekend. The rough draft has quite a few songs and I’m still compiling. Just a heads up!
If Turner came back to Mets he’d barely play more than 15 or 20 games at 3B. He’d be our primary DH and play 3B or 1B in a pinch. I’d love to have him but I can’t believe he’d be used as our primary third baseman.
