Neil Best plans to make history at 1:15 p.m. on Friday
I'm really at a loss to explain this one, other than to suggest that my longtime Newsday colleague has completely lost his marbles.
Or else he has been spending far too much time blogging in the basement in his jammies.
Or both.
Best is scheduled to have a live chat on Friday, beginning at 11 a.m., and his plan is to go at least 2 hours and 15 minutes. Why so long? Because he is obsessed with me, that's why. It just so happens that I held a live chat for 2 hours and 14 minutes a couple weeks ago, setting a Newsday record.
It isn't enough that Best routinely draws the most page views of all the Newsday bloggers for his always entertaining read. And it isn't enough that he has not only the ENTIRE WORLD OF SPORTS to comment and report about, but also the ENTIRE WORLD OF SPORTS MEDIA, which has become a cottage industry what with fans' obsession with all things Mike Francesa, Chris Russo, Boomer Esiason, Craig Carton and Max Kellerman.
No, Best has to own ALL the Newsday blog records.
To wit: He once owned the Newsday record for most posts in a single day of 32. I broke that record by writing 33. Enraged, Best planned his revenge in nefarious fashion: Several weeks later, he celebrated his one-year blog anniversary by writing 52 posts - one for each week of the year. All this while Charlie Chilkoot was hanging out in the basement.
(I do not plan on breaking this record. Shoot me if I ever try.)
Anyway, we'll be cheering Best on to "victory" on Friday. In fact, we'll even pitch in a question or two, perhaps to see what is at the root of his fascination with one-upping me at every turn. Please be sure to tune in, starting at 11 a.m. Better yet, check back at 1:15 p.m. to see if he made it.

Be the one to break the official news of Max Kellerman teaming up with Mike Francesa... and then maybe you can challenge Best's blogging supremacy.
Not that it's going to matter once NewsDay starts charging $$$ for online content - then (unfortunately) nobody's going to be reading either of you.
So Neil is now thrown under the bus to up the AVL for
Newsday huh? Nice!
