While most of baseball rested and recharged over the All-Star break, Mr. Met came back for the second-half opener with a couple of bumps and bruises.
The Mets mascot had the second-most viral concert moment this past week when he took a spill at the Lumineers concert at Citi Field.

Mr. Met hilariously played into his epic fail by showing up in Flushing on Friday night with some bandages, a sling and a crutch.
At the concert last week, Mr. Met strolled toward the middle of the stage before misstepping and walking directly off the stage in a total wipeout.

He hit the ground hard and his giant baseball head vanished for a moment before popping back up to assure the crowd that he was alright and soak in some support from the fans.
Mr. Met showed up at Citi Field with a crutch, a sling and a bandage on his face to joke that he was still hurt from his tumble at the Lumineers concert last week.

'Don't worry, I don't oppheeliiia too bad,' Mr. Met posted to his official account on X in reference to the band's 'Ophelia' song. 'Thanks for having me, @thelumineers !'
He got some support from Mrs. Met, too.

'Love my man, on and off the stage,' Mrs. Met posted to X.
Mr. Met made the tambourine catch this time around.

Also part of his epic fail at the concert, Mr. Met failed to catch a tambourine thrown to him by Lumineers lead singer Wesley Schultz.
The mascot redeemed himself Friday night by making a tambourine catch through his 'injuries.'

Ranking the Top 25 players to play for Alabama in the last 25 years
It's safe to say that a lot has happened for the Alabama Crimson Tide football program over the past 25 years. Since the year 2000, Alabama has won a total of six national championships in football, each of which came during an era where the greatest head coach of all-time led the Crimson Tide in a decade-plus long dynasty the levels the sport has rarely, if ever, seen before. Over that same span, Alabama has also won a total of nine SEC championships, as well as recorded 18 seasons of at-least 10 wins-or-more. As to why this level of success has happened for the Crimson Tide, a big reason is the level of talent that has come through Tuscaloosa since 2000, a list that includes multiple Heisman Trophy winners, countless All-America picks, and more. Here is a ranking of the 25 greatest players to suit up for the Crimson Tide over the past 25 years, as well as what each did during their time at Alabama. 25. Mark Barron, Safety (2008-11) We begin with safety Mark Barron, who started three of his four seasons at Alabama from 2008-11 where he had a combined 235 tackles, 14 TFL, five sacks, and 12 interceptions, among other stats. A two-time national champion, Barron had arguably his best season in 2009 where he had 76 tackles, four TFL, and seven interceptions, which led the SEC, but however also earned All-America honors in 2011. 24. Dont'a Hightower, Inside Linebacker (2008-11) Dont'a Hightower was a four-year inside linebacker who racked up 234 tackles, 22 TFL, five sacks, one interception, and two forced fumbles from 2008-11. A two-time national champion, Hightower's best season at Alabama was his 2011 campaign in which he recorded 85 tackles, 11 TFL, four sacks, and an interception to earn All-America honors. 23. DeMeco Ryans, Linebacker (2002-05) One of Alabama's greatest linebackers of the early 2000's was Ryans, who spent four seasons with the Crimson Tide from 2002-05, ending his time in Tuscaloosa with 307 career tackles. Ryans was also one of Alabama's first All-America selections of the 2000's, doing so during the 2005 season in which he also won the Lott Trophy and SEC Defensive Player of the Year. 22. Patrick Surtain II, Cornerback (2018-20) A three-year starter at Alabama, cornerback Patrick Surtain II compiled 117 tackles, seven TFL, four interceptions, four forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries from 2018-20.

Youth should be served for Sixers in 2025-26 despite title expectations
Contrary to what a lot of the fan base believes, Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey isn't clueless. The man knows a ton about the game of basketball. He admitted he made a mistake with the 2024-25 season with a lack of youth surrounding his star trio of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George. That's why 2025-26 is focused on correcting those mistakes. The Sixers landed VJ Edgecombe (19) with the No. 3 pick of the draft and should focus on his development along with Jared McCain (21), Adem Bona (22), Johni Broome (23), and Dominick Barlow (22). While Philadelphia will be looking to win a title led by Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George, it has to think about its future as well. Morey did give his own expectations for Embiid and George while speaking in Las Vegas at summer league, but it's hard to count on both players right now. Embiid, who is recovering from his second left knee surgery in 14 months, spoke with ESPN and did not give a timeline for his return to the floor: "We don't have a timeline," Embiid tells me. "Hopefully, sooner rather than later." I ask if the organization supports his new, patient approach. "I don't know how they feel. The only thing I'd say is -- this is a business," Embiid tells me. "It's all about the results. … If I come back early enough and I'm still not myself, guess what? You're not winning any games." George recently underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee after experiencing some discomfort in an offseason workout. As terrific as everybody knows George is, it's hard to believe he will get back to an All-Star level at this stage of his career when considering he is now 35 years old. Of course, anything can happen, but it's hard to really count on either player at this point right now. Which is why the Sixers should begin building toward the future. Even Maxey (24) is a big part of that. A youth brigade led by Maxey, Edgecombe, McCain, and--likely--Quentin Grimes (25) should be at the forefront. Philadelphia should explore what those four can do while giving Bona, Broome, Barlow, and Jabari Walker (22) extensive minutes. If Embiid and George are healthy? Then great! Go chase a title. However, it's hard to believe they can get be healthy enough for that to become a reality. It would behoove the Sixers to explore what the younger pieces can do in 2025-26.
