I visited my parents in March and flew through LaGuardia and snagged some of those Harvey. Knowing now that there was a cancer scare makes them seem in bad taste now. But then, tabloid headlines and bad taste go together.

But then, tabloid headlines and bad taste go together. Completely agreed on bad taste. I only voted for two (Knightmare and Knight's All Right). I think those headlines spoofing a man's medical condition is over the line. Rake the guy for anything he does on the field. When you mock a medical condition you're just being a dick.

Sorry, but most days it's hard to judge where the crossing-line is on the delicate-sensibilities scale here. There's some crazy shit posted here some- times that goes completely over-the-top and goes unchecked but I make a pee-pee joke and I'm a dick (pun intended). Oh well, all in a day's posting.

Worth noting the head-to-head action (no pun intended, but there you have it). The Daily News' YA GOTTA RELIEVE! is lapping the field with seven votes, while The New York Post's YA GOTTA RELIEVE! has been shut out. I think that's in part due to the photo they use seemingly showing him in a urinating stance.

I kind of like the implication that, before a start, Matt Harvey psyches himself up by peeing on a urinal emblazoned with the logo of the team he's pitching against.

Sorry, not meant to be a criticism on anything posted here. It's somewhat private and we are just individuals. I think a news agency, however, lower the standard may be for tabloids, still has to have some respect for individuals, even public figures.

I don't think anyone was criticizing YOU. I was criticizing the tabloid headline writers.
