I join with my fellow Mets fans to say goodbye to David Wright. Thanks for everything, David.  Here’s to a great retirement.

Elsewhere…

• MLB playoff season kicks off under the cloud of a major federal investigation of bad behavior in overseas scouting and signing.
• NHL regular season play begins.  Let’s have your predictions!
• Jimmy Butler Trade Watch!
• The Ryder Cup, where Europe defeated the US and where apparently the US defeated itself.
• Scoring is up in the NFL.  Except, it seems, at Met Life Stadium.

As always, all sports subjects welcome.
