Savor the greatness that is Jacob deGrom
NY Post
The part that’s both beautiful and urgent is how finite and fleeting this is. Right now, Jacob deGrom isn’t just the best at what he does, he is head-and-shoulders better than anyone else who does what he does.
He is Kelly Leak right now, dominating for the Chico’s Bail Bonds Bears. He is Jefferson from “Fast Times” right after he sees his wrecked car. He’s Scott Howard right after he started growing out the whiskers in “Teen Wolf.” He is of another level. Those characters, of course, were all fictional, so their powers are eternal. It’s less certain in real life, though every now and again we are graced by greatness so profound that it’s hard to reconcile that the other players around the star are getting paid, too. And that’s the thing: It never lasts forever, like in the movies.Two women accuse NFL kicker Brandon McManus of sexually assaulting them on Jaguars’ flight to London
