SNL Opens With Kids Singing Silent Night, Pat Barry Gives Emotional Post-Fight Interview in Wake of Newtown Tragedy
Pat Barry beat Shane del Rosario with the Knockout of the Night during last night’s Ultimate Fighte 16 Finale on FX. After the fight, an emotional Barry gave a tearful interview where he told fans to hug their kids and parents and bury any beef they had with old friends.
A little later, on the other side of the country, Saturday Night Live’s cold open featured the New York Children’s Chorus singing Silent Night. This was the first time that SNL went with a somber opening since the first episode that followed 9/11. Both videos were hard to watch live or the morning after. Our thoughts and prayers are still with those poor families. Thanks for reading.

Had my daughters 7th birthday party with a group of her friends yesterday. Seeing them jump around and play without a care in the world brought a tear to my eye thinking about what had happened the day before.

Acknowledging the horror of what happened and mourning for innocent lives snuffed out and families destroyed by the incomprehensible act of a madman is precisely what the country should be doing right now. If it seems as if that is a passive non-reaction, that’s because too many people understand what mourning entails. After that can come a policy battle that can be fought with passion but not with emotionalism and ignorance of relevant, basic facts standing in for rational analysis and honest debate.

Good luck with that.

I’m a casual UFC fan at best, but I just became a fan of Pat Barry.
