@_Hornik_ I’ve been staring at this thing for years. It’s gotta go. I’m convinced this thing is the bad juju that is following this team around. Removing will break the curse.

Fellow journalists, just as a thought experiment:

Consider, for a brief moment, that Michael Jackson is innocent. We can return to regular programming (the default assumption of guilt) soon. But just for a moment….consider it.

From someone who has spent a lot of time researching the artist, interviewing those close to him, trying to approach the subject fairly, there are some legitimate things to consider, among them:

- I’ve personally spoken to some of Jackson’s accusers as adults and they vehemently defended him. This shouldn’t be too surprising as they have also defended him publicly and in some cases on the stand under oath, before later changing their positions.

- MJ, of course, faced an exhaustive criminal trial and was acquitted of all charges in 2005. That case, when removed from salacious headlines, was actually quite weak. The posthumous cases are objectively weaker.

- I’ve always felt the most compelling allegation would be one not attached to millions of dollars. Every posthumous allegation has been tied to changed stories and enormous sums of money, which would seem to at least invite some level of scrutiny.

- The vast majority of people who spent time at Neverland as children continue to assert that nothing sexual took place. That matters when trying to establish patterns of behavior and grooming.

- Multiple unannounced raids on Jackson’s properties revealed nothing incriminating. Not the case obviously for other recent high profile cases (Diddy, Epstein, etc.), where the evidence is clear.

- Nobody was clamoring for “complexity” and the “whole story” when Leaving Neverland came out. The media left its premier at Sundance in complete lockstep even though it intentionally left out hundreds of conflicting accounts.

- MJ was and is a target because of his differences/eccentricities and because of his wealth.

- Race continues to play a role. We can deny it or rationalize it but it’s always been there. James Baldwin saw it as early as 1985. White journalists have always been quicker to judge, malign, and assume his guilt. Even the “Wacko Jacko” tabloid nickname has racist roots.

Is none of this context relevant? If MJ was in fact not guilty as he asserted, as his family and friends believe, as a jury determined, the treatment he received in his lifetime (and still, decades later) would be reprehensible.

It’s at least worth considering…

The Mets’ relationship with free agents is pure “would smash, but we’re focusing on ourselves right now.” #Mets

[Stephen Saulpaugh @SSaulpaugh]

@BrandonTierney Would you be open to a show at SNY with Sal? Really enjoyed listening to you guys everyday. Wishing you best of luck!

[Stephen Saulpaugh @SSaulpaugh]

I’ll puke

[Talkin' Baseball @TalkinBaseball_]

The Mets are considering free agent Paul Goldschmidt as a possible Pete Alonso replacement, per @timbhealey

[Stephen Saulpaugh @SSaulpaugh]

This is a terrible look

Edwin Díaz's deal with the Dodgers is for three years and $69M

[Stephen Saulpaugh @SSaulpaugh]

@DanBartels2 @JonHeyman This is so stupid

[Stephen Saulpaugh @SSaulpaugh]

I mean this is the worst take of all time. I love this show but come on. @WFAN660

[WFAN Sports Radio @WFAN660]

Sal says he would look to trade Francisco Lindor this offseason 👀

[Stephen Saulpaugh @SSaulpaugh]

They were right. 59.

[SleeperMets @SleeperMets]

They doubted you 59.

They said you couldn’t handle the pressure 59.

They said your success in 2024 was fake 59.

They said you have no confidence 59.

How will you respond 59?

[Stephen Saulpaugh @SSaulpaugh]

Wouldn’t it be the most Mets thing ever to sneak into the postseason and go on a deep run to the World Series.

God I hate this team. #Mets #LGM

Shout out Carnitas Snack Shack @PetcoPark refused to leave guacamole off the tacos I tried to order despite me informing them I had an allergy citing “no menu modifications”

Puesto Tacos accommodated it no problem & straight up said they should have left it off
Do better @Padres

[Stephen Saulpaugh @SSaulpaugh]

I legitimately cannot believe how bad the #Mets are. We were duped so hard.

What is McNeil doing?…

[Stephen Saulpaugh @SSaulpaugh]

Mets are bad. Really bad. No energy.

[Stephen Saulpaugh @SSaulpaugh]

This is the worst mets run I can remember. It’s laughably bad. #Mets

[Stephen Saulpaugh @SSaulpaugh]

That was worst loss of year. Compiled with the Philly win. #Mets
