Nice to see his team supported him. Maybe this stuff will start to change.
Soccer Team Walk Off

And your 2013 class elected to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame, as selected by BBWAA is....Nobody. That's right, nobody received the prerequisite 75% of votes.

With a light snow-rain mix falling from gray London skies, there was little activity outside the O2 Arena on Monday morning.

On a day global warming forgot, workers walked briskly to their destinations just outside the North Greenwich subway stop.

Just inside the building that hasn't been standing 10 years, crowds were sparse as shops and restaurants awaited the lunch rush.

And aside from one sign featuring Pistons Brandon Knight, Rodney Stuckey, Jonas Jerebko and Knicks Carmelo Anthony, Jason Kidd and Steve Novak, there weren't any signs that the NBA was about to descend upon the O2.

But the scene will change Thursday when a sell-out crowd will watch the Pistons play the Knicks in what will be the league's 16th regular-season game in a foreign market...

NFL and NBA in London eh?

It will be baseball next

Notre Dame's Manti Te'o, the stories said, played this season under a terrible burden. A Mormon linebacker who led his Catholic school's football program back to glory, Te'o was whipsawed between personal tragedies along the way. In the span of six hours in September, as Sports Illustrated told it, Te'o learned first of the death of his grandmother, Annette Santiago, and then of the death of his girlfriend, Lennay Kekua.
Did you enjoy the uplifiting story, the tale of a man who responded to adversity by becoming one of the top players of the game? If so, stop reading...

I don't buy his or ND's attempt to exculpate him. He represented this women as his girlfriend although he had never met her. Of course, you have to wonder what they are teaching students at ND if he just assumed that she was telling the online truth about having Leukemia and then believing her reported death from it.

However, pizzaboy and Lou follow the Mets and Giants

So does Don Cardi. It's not so uncommon.

As I remember, Archie Bunker was a big Mets and Jets fan. He was a loyal Queens guy, but I would have thought that given his age in the early 70s, he might have been more likely a Giants' fan.

I'll let some of the New Yorkers to weigh in on this and offer deeper insight. This issue was raised a few years ago in one of the threads if I remember correctly.

I always associated the Giants with the Yankees and the Jets with the Mets because the Giants played at Yankee Stadium while the Jets played at Shea. The Jets and Mets also came into existence around the same time, long after the Yankees and Giants. I would guess perhaps at one time there was affinity between the football Giants and baseball Giants when the latter made the Polo Grounds their home.

I would associate the Rangers and Knicks with the Giant/Yankee base as these Madison Square Garden teams have deeper roots than the Nets and Islanders. However, pizzaboy and Lou follow the Mets and Giants, Geoff, MaryCas and Babe follow the Yankees and Giants and Irish follows the Yankees and Jets. My wife's family are diehard Yankee and Giants fan, but they split over hockey and basketball, none of whom are fans of the NY teams.

The biggest celebrity fan of the jets that I can remember was a kids show host called captain kangaroo he never missed a game.

He also played Clarabell the Clown on the original Howdy Doody Show.

I don't know which was more horrifying to look at: Clarabell or Howdy.
