Stephen A. Smith video: ESPN personality argues with herself

1. I really, really, really wanted to write about the surreal day that took place at Citi Field on Thursday, with a video of General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen denigrating Rob Manfred for his idea of ​​protest which was mistakenly circulated to the world on the site. Web of Mets; then the apology from Van Wagenen, saying that Manfred was not the person behind the idea, it was in fact the owner of the Mets, Jeff Wilpon; then Wilpon’s statement blowing up Van Wagenen and spelling his first name twice wrong in said statement.

However, my colleague Dan Gartland did a great summary of the absurd events in Friday’s Hot Clicks, so I’m going in a whole different direction as we wind down the work week.
