This Daily News Sam Darnold Cover Is Terrible; I'm Dying

Jets rookie QB Sam Darnold was perfectly okay in his NFL debut last week, a 48-17 Jets win over the Lions more notable for the Jets defense knowing “everything” the Lions were running before they snapped the ball.

NYDN: "Blah blah blah blah rain blah blah blah Niese blah blah Astros blah blah Mets got spanked."

New York Daily News scribe Andy Martino has written a game story that speaks for every fan of the 2011 Mets. What it lacks in rhetorical fluency it makes up for in, uh, truth. This isn't an editing error, although it may look that way at first blush. The Mets have reached the summit of suck....
