GOOD!!

Mangini is fired!!
Syonara!!

A thought on The Horrible Jets

I don't care who agrees or disagrees with me, but Mangini and the coaches should be fired as early as today. I know the players are the ones on the field, but coaches have a responsibility to make the right moves and these guys just don't know how to do that. I also wish Woody would sell the team to someone who has a football background. The Mara's, the Rooney's, those are owners who know football. Leon Hess and Woody Johnson have money to own a team, but they have no football sense. Tannenbaum should go too. This team will never win another Super Bowl, until they get REAL football people to own and run this team.

Doomsday Scenario?

This is like a movie script, but with a potential for a not happy ending for the Jets. Don't get me wrong, I want to see the Jets make the playoffs, but the scenario is setting up for something else. Consider this: The Jets get Favre.
Chad is released and signs with the Dolphins. The first game of the season, Chad has a chance to beat the Jets, but falls short. If the Dolphins had won, you would have heard the words revenge, payback etc. But this Sunday's game has much more at stake. Chad can knock the Jets out of the playoffs. Consider this too: if before the season, someone said to Chad about these games, which scenario would you like better, you don't have to be a brain surgeon to figure which one he would rather have. I will be there Sunday with my usual tailgate crew, and hope for the best. I hate to say this, but the tailgate party may be the best part of the day.

A bit of hockey...

With all of my recent talk of football, I will just mention this about the Rangers. They had a 4 goal lead last night only to squander it against the Craptials and lose in OT. Now the Flyers (GRRRRRRR)are only 2 points behind them.
WAKE UP RANGERS.

Tuesday, December 23, 2008

Now that I have calmed down....

The Jets are a joke. I have been watching them since 1967. I have had season tickets since 1983. Yes there have been some good seasons, but the majority have been bad and if they don't make the playoffs after being 8-3, this will be one of the most disappointing seasons ever. Mangini has to go as well as Schottenheimer. Favre will probably retire, so next year the QB situation will once again be up in the air. This is a sorry franchise. I wish Woody Johnson would sell the team to someone who knows what the hell he is doing!

3 Words

THE JETS SUCK!!!!!

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

Forever Young

Well, to take a break from sports here, I have to say a word or two about the concert I went to last night at Madison Square Garden. Neil Young with Wilco and Everst. Never heard of the 3rd band, but they had a nice Pink Loyd quality. Wilco, I had heard of, but never saw. They are most excellent. Jeff Tweedy is amazing.
But now to a fellow by the name of Neil Young. He rocked the place out. Just toal gonzo on stuff like Hey Hey My My, Cinammon Girl, Cortez The Killer and other rockers. It was a long show too. He first didn't come ontill 10:00 and played till 12:30. I am glad I took today off. Thank goodness for Rock and Roll!!!!

Sunday, December 14, 2008

WHEW!!!!!

Yours truly, Smokey Bob, just got back from today's Jet game. As usual a great tailgate party, with the usual suspects. However the sloppy Jets nearly blew this one and are VERY LUCKY to have won this game. Maybe it's me, but ever since they beat the Patriots and Tennessee, it seems they are not giving the same effort. The last 2 games they lost proves that. But I am glad they won. Now it is time for a nice hot shower and a hot meal and watch more football.

Thursday, December 11, 2008

What's In A Name?

All I will say is this. The Mets got a pitcher by the name of Putz. He better do good, cause I can hear it now....."So how come the Mets got this Putz of a pitcher?"

Sunday, December 7, 2008

Not good...

The only thing I can say after today's Jet game is this,
To paraphrase Tony Bennett, The Jets left their brains in San Francisco.

Friday, December 5, 2008

Moron!

Being that I am a Jet fan, I will only deal with the recent moron on this team. Giant fans can discuss that other moron in their blogs.
Shaun Ellis should be suspended for his marijuana possesion. He is a professional athlete and should know better. Plus, his timing is also questionable, since the playoffs are around the corner, and if he is suspended, the Jets will be without one of their best defensive players. The NFL has an anti drug policy, and since the last time I checked, marijuana is still illegal. What is wrong with these people?

Sunday, November 30, 2008

Y-U-C-K YUCK YUCK YUCK!!

Well, nothing in this life lasts forever. And with that said, so goes the Jets 5 game winning streak. They are still in good shape, but by losing, probably don't have a shot at top seed. Fortuantely, they play a horrible team in the 49ers next week. Although the 49ers beat a not bad Buffalo team, so they Jets should be wary. Ringo has a song that describes this pefectly...It Don't Come Easy. I guess he had the Jets in mind when he wrote that...ok ok I'm kidding!!

To all who read my blog, and even to those who don't, I wish you all a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!!

Can't Forget These Guys...

Well, with all the media attention to the Jets...and Giants...can't forget about The Rangers. Their 2 game losing is streak is history with a nice game last night beating the Coyotes 4-1. Let's hope they can get a nice winning streak going and put themselves further in 1st place. It is a great time to be in NY sportswise. We haven't had this kind of thing in a long time. May it continue!!

Sunday, November 23, 2008

HOW BOUT THEM JETS!!!!!!!!!!

To paraphrase The Grateful Dead....Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be, when you beat an un-defeated team, down in Tennessee!!!
This Jets team is just awesome. I figured it would be a hard fought game, which it was for a while, but they just dominated the Titans all day. This Sunday at the next home game the place will be nuts!!!!!And the playoffs are coming!!!!!!!
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday, November 20, 2008

What was I thinking????

In my previous entry, I metntioned that the Giants are invinsable....I meant to write invincible. Even though it is rare I do this, that is why they have...SPELL CHECK!!

Sports in the Big Apple

Well, the weather is turning chillier, the leaves are almost down, but sports in NY couldn't be better. The Rangers had a rare bad game last night with Lundqvist giving up 5 goals, but they still lead the Atlantic Division which is good. Their next game is Ottowa on Saturday afternoon, so hopefully they will be rested and bounce back. Can't forget about the Giants. They are 9-1 and are looking invinsable.
Oh yeah... THE FIRST PLACE NY JETS, have a playoff type game against the undefeated Titans on Sunday. Besides the Jets winning and ruining their quest for perfection, it would greatly help their playoff chaces in a MAJOR way. Us Jet fans haven't been to a home playoff game since Jan 2003 when they won a close game against the Colts...41-0. I can't expect a score like that, but it would be cool to have at least one home playoff game. Have been to a few and they are awesome, especially when the Jets win. Let's hope it comes to fruition.

Thursday, November 13, 2008

1ST PLACE!!!!!!!

Yes my fellow Jet maniacs, they Jets beat the hated Patriots....although it was an excruciating game to say the least...however, they got the W and sole possesion of 1st place. And Bill Belichick is the biggest baby I have ever seen. When the coaches shook hands at games end, it loked like Mangini wanted to say something to Belichick, but he just walked away. Good!! Let him sulk like the baby he is. WAH WAH WAH!!!!

Sunday, November 9, 2008

WOW!!!

A very nice game by the Jets today. A total ass-whipping!! 47-3 over the lowly Rams. As usual, I got there 8 in the morning, my buddies 8:45 and had our usual great tailgate party.
It was nice to see a complete game by the whole team. However, they have a short week, since they play the Patriots Thursday. But it is for sole possesion of FIRST PLACE!!!!!!

Friday, November 7, 2008

Now that's better

Hello out there in Rangerland. I won't be writing about every Ranger win, but I am making note of last night's game for a few reasons.After the 2 dreadful games against Toronto and the Ice-Landers, it was nice to see Drury's hat trick, 3 power play goals, and a shorthanded goal. This is they type of play the Rangers are capable of and hopefully they will play like this, the rest of the way. Of course there is a lot of hockey left to be played, but a complete win like that does wonders for a teams confidence. LET'S GO RAN-GERS!!

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Not Nice

As in The Rangers. They deserved to lose that game last night against The Ice-Landers. Letting them get 2 shorthanded goals is a disgrace. The power play has gone into the toilet.
Memo to The Rangers: When on the power play...SHOOT THE PUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday, November 3, 2008

How Nice

Well, well, well. We have a 3 way tie for 1st palce in the AFC East. Thanks Indy for beating the Patsies!!.
Of course the Jets can't rely on other teams, but they did take care of business in Buffalo. Unfortunately another interception for a touchdown happened. but they were still leading and that great drive for a field goal was real cool. The schedule is still not easy for the Jets, but I like 5-3 this year as opposed to 1-7 last year.

Dead Music Part 2

It has been a while since I did 2 shows in consecutive nights, but I was happy to do it. Tonight was Phil Lesh at The Nokia Theater in Times Square. Another unbelievable show. He opened with Here Comes Sunshine and Till The Morning Comes, 2 songs that I have not heard live in ages, but were done most excellent. They also did Cosmic Charlie, which mentions my birthday...Hung up waitin for a windy day
Kite on ice since the first of February....That is so f*****g awesome!! They also did other great tunes as well. At this point however I am tired, but as I call it, a good tired! At least we get the extra hour!!

Friday, October 31, 2008

Dead Music Part 1

Taking a break from sports here, just came back from a great concert at Westbury on Long Island. For those not familiar, it used to be called Westbury Music Fair. Now it is Capital One Bank at Westbury. Go figure. Anyway, Bob Weir's band Ratdog was there. What a phenominal show. These guys kick ass. Two highlights was Casey Jones in the first set, and Black Throated Wind in the second. That one blew me away since I just brought that tune to the band I am in. Of course they did lots of other great stuff.And being it was Halloween, the encore was Werewolves of London. Next up Saturday night is Phil Lesh and Friends at The Nokia Theater in Manhattan. Stay Tuned....

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Well, well, well...

It is always nice when the Rangers go to the Nausea Mausoleum, and beat the Ice-Landers. There certainly seemed to be lots of Rangers fans there, which isn't saying much for fans of the Ice-Landers. Back in April, I saw the Rangers eliminate the Devils at the Prudential Center in Newark, and there was at least 50% Ranger fans.
That will NEVER happen at the Garden. There will be fans of the other 2 local teams for sure, but not like that. LET'S GO RANGERS!!...And one more thing..POTVIN SUCKS!!

Sunday, October 26, 2008

Some thoughts....10/26/08

First...yes I am gald the Jets won. However, Favre was HORRIBLE. The offense never got a good rhythm going. The people I sit with at the game, said why can't the Jets blow out a team like KC? It should never have been close. Now the schedule gets tougher.
Second, NY Rangers keep rolling along. Shame what happened to Renny. It's amazing things like that don't happen more often.
Lastly, in a previous blog entry, I wrote that I am not that interested in the World Series, although it would be nice to see TB win, just because it is their first time in. Someone commented how can I say that. I should be a fan of the game. Well, I hate the Phillies and always have, and have no rooting interest in TB. So in that thought, I really don't care.

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Do I care?

To quote The Who from the song 5:15..."Why should I care....why should I care".
Not to sound Un-American, but I really don't care about The World Series. I guess I would like to see Tampa Bay win, just for the fact that it is their first time there. But I also can't root for Philly. And seriously, it is not because I am a Met fan...and there are some out there who will still think that anyway.. there are just some things you can't do.

Sunday, October 19, 2008

J-e-s-t Jest Jest Jest/Grateful Deadness

To get this out of the way first...THE JETS SUCK!! They are my team, and I will always root for them, but the way they played today, they deserved to lose. They play the Chiefs at home next Sunday with a return by Herm Edwards. They can't lose that game.

On the music scene, up until Tuesday, I hadn't gotten tickets to see Ratdog or Phil Lesh and Friends who will both be in the NY area in a couple of weeks. Well, as of Thursday I had two different friends with extra tickets to each, so now I am going to see Ratdog on Halloween at Westbury, and have tickets next night to see Phil Lesh at the Nokia. That is totally excellent!!

Monday, October 13, 2008

Rangers

Well, being so immersed in football, and not caring about baseball after a certain National League team from NY didn't make the playoffs again, how bout them 4-0 Rangers. I can't believe I haven't seen any game yet, but if I am home and they are on, I will be certain to watch. Obviously you can't get crazy at this point, but a dominating season would be nice.

Sunday, October 12, 2008

Jets

Nice win by the Jets. Once again the defense was a little sloppy, and Favre gotta watch those turnovers, but a win is a win.
Lets hope they can keep it going.

Sunday, September 28, 2008

Jets and the f*****g Mets

What a weird Jet game. The defense sort of fell apart in the second half, but it was nice to see the offense score mucho points. 2-2 going into the bye week. Very encouraging.
As for the Mets..f**k them!!

Friday, September 26, 2008

More Mets and Jets...

Well. The Metsies won a thriller last night, but still have not secured themselves a post season spot yet. I will not talk about them till they do.

Now the Jetsies. I certainly didn't have too much to say after their horrible showing on MNF. Looking forward, as always, to hanging with my buds with another great tailgate deal. And then hopefully they can win the game.
To quote a great man, we shall see, what we shall see!!

Monday, September 22, 2008

Mets/Jets

Just one thing about the Mets. With a week to go, they better make the playoffs. That is all on that subject.

Now the Jets. They must win this game tonight in convincing fashion. A little imaginative offense would be nice. That is all on that subject as well.

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

Double Yecch!

The Mets. They still can't beat the Nationals when they have to. And now Tatis is out for the year. Not blaming injuries for their situation, good teams overcome that.
I am keeping positive thoughts. Hmm...Tug McGraw (RIP) comes to mind right now....

Monday, September 15, 2008

YECHH

All I can say is the Jets don't look any different from lat year. Horrible calls, not getting any yardage. It looked as if Chad was still here. They better get their shit together and FAST!!

Saturday, September 13, 2008

I AM READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!!

Tomorrow....Jets home opener. Brett Favre as the Jets QB. Hanging with my buddies that I know for 25 years. I AM PSYCHED!!!!
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

MVP...MVP...

That is for Carlos Delgado. His 2 home runs last night helped the Mets overcome a not to good pitching performance by Ollie Perez. They are now 2 1/2 up on the Phillies. Delgado has been a hitting machine and I think is a candidate for MVP. After last years collapse, I am sure Delgado would like that to win that, but I am more than sure, he would rather have the Mets make the playoffs.

Sunday, September 7, 2008

PHEW!!!!

A short second entry.
The Jets won, but dodged a big bullet. Chad almost pulled it out, but thankfully he didn't. In the immortal words of Nelson from The Simpsons...HA-ha!!

ARE YOUREADY FOR SOME FOOTBALL????????

I sure am!!!! Jets vs. Dolphins, Favre vs. Pennington....WHOA NELLIE!!!
I am psyched!!!
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday, September 4, 2008

How bout those Mets!

A short note on the Mets. They are now 3 up on the Phillies...Thanks Nationals!... and now they face the Phillies head on at Shea. Saturday's game could be in Jeopardy due to the weather, but aside from that,if they can take 2 of 3 games, that would be excellent. Not getting too excited, I still remember last year, but the hitting and pitching has been more consistent. I'm also glad Sunday's game is now 8'oclock, I feel bad for the folks who had this as a day game, but it won't interfere with something that is happening on CBS Sunday at 1:00 PM. I will talk about that in the next few days!

Sunday, August 31, 2008

An observation

I was gonna talk about sports here, but I got to thinking about those poor people in Hurricane Gustav's path, and realize that for one entry at least, nothing is more important than that right now. Those people in New Orleans must feel they are hexed...and I am not being funny...to have another storm hit them head on, and with 2more behind Hannah. At least better steps are being taken and hopefully more people will be sensible this time and leave. All we can do for those people is pray that they don't get hit too bad.

Assorted Comments

Well! I mentioned this great pizza place in Brooklyn a few entries ago, and I was asked about other places I possibly may go for that stuff. So to answer those who have been responding...which I appreciate...I do not go to ANY chain pizza place. With all the family owned places in Brooklyn who have had these places for years, there is no way I would go to Pizza Hut, Dominoes(YECCH!!!!) Papa Johns or wherever.
I also don't do Murder Burgers....White Castle for those who may not know....or most fast food burger joints. Once in a while I may have Wendy's, but that is it.

Just a quick football note. Bless their little hearts, the Jets won't charge the upper tier people those PSL's(personal seat licenses)for the new stadium. I feel bad (seriously) for those who have to pay them, but it is a crock of shit. It is legalized extortion plain and simple. But with all that, I am looking forward to see my fellow tailgaters on Sept 14th for the 1st home game. The first game of the season should be real intersting. Jets/Miami in Miami. Favre vs Pennington. Stay tuned.....

Sunday, August 24, 2008

Jets/Giants

Okay, the Jets beat the Giants. I am glad about that. Favre was average, but I am not worried. He has 2 weeks to get ready and I know he will be. Clemmens and Ratliff looked good and the defense was not bad. What was horrible and Mangini certainly looked pissed on the sidelines, are all those offensive penalties. They killed a few plays and a touchdown. No matter how good or bad your team is, it is going to happen, but not that many and at one point there was 3 in a row. I hoped Mangini read the riot act!!

Saturday, August 23, 2008

Mets--Jets/Giants

Well, how about those Mets. Firing on all cylinders. The pitching has been better, they are getting hits with men on base, and getting some breaks as well. As much as I liked Willie Randolph, I know many who didn't, I think Jerry Manuel is doing a phenominal job. A little over a month to go, let's hope the f*****g Phillies can lose some as the Mets win, so they can increase their lead in first place. Oh, I believe the Mets play them next week. Should be intersting.
Are you ready for some pre-season football? Jets versus Giants...a Jet home game...with Favre meeting up with the team that prevented the Packers from getting to the Super Bowl. This will be an intense game, even though it is pre-season. I hope Favre does well, mainly because it will give us Jet fans some hope for the season. The offensive line must protect #4, so he has time to throw. And I would like to see the defense play just a tad better than last week. As Keith Jackson says, " Whoa Nellie, it's going to be a barn burner of a game."

A Change Of Pace...

No music or sports stuff in this entry. Just a word about the best sicilian pizza anywhere. If anyone reading this lives in the 5 boroughs, or if you are close enough to take a little outing...gas prices are lowering.....than you MUST go to L&B Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn. They are located on 86th Street Between West 10th and West 11th Streets. I mention this because I had a serious jones I needed to fulfill and went there tonight. The thing about the square slices that are so amazing, is that the sauce is on the top. Now there are many places that do this, just not like L&B.
They have a restaurant there too, with excellent entrees and all, but also is the ice cream and ices place where they have the greatest homemade ices and ice cream and spumoni.
This place has been there over 60 years and is still the greatest. Check out the pics of a full tray of the square here: http://spumonigardens.com/ You'll want to go right out and get some!!

Never too old to rock/A quick word about The Jets

I am extremely lucky and thankful, that I have a chance to play in a band. As I previously wrote, we get together Friday's and it is fun. The only thing we don't do is play out, mainly cause the drummer has his regular band. But that is cool. The band he is in is called Proper Potion and they play on Long Island. They currently are on the latest cover of Good Times Magazine. The drummer is the one in the cool hat. Go to www.goodtimesmag.com. This cover is good till the 18th...which is tomorrow, but I am sure they archive it. I have another friend who has a band in Port Washington NY and whenever they play, they invite me to do a few tunes which I did last night. We did U.S. Blues, Dead Flowers and Wooly Bully. It was a blast. It is so cool playing for a packed place. Can't wait to do it again!
Before I headed out to Lon Gisland, as we say in Brooklyn, I caught part of the 1st quarter of the Jets/Redskins pre-season game. Favre looked good, although I knew he wouldn't play to long. I did get to see the end of the game at the bar I was in when the Redskins scored a TD with 1:09 left. Remarkably, with 3rd string QB Ratliff they marched down the field, and with .05 seconds left, they tried a chip shot field goal to tie it, which Nugent missed of course when he hit one of the goalposts. I hope this is not going to be the shape of things to come.

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

Music Stuff

Hello out there in Blogland!!
I wrote about this early on in my blog, but I will reprise it here. I have a very unique situation. I am in a band called The Trip 3's. We play in the drummer's apartment, but the neighbors don't hear anything but us singing. To explain. The drummer uses electronic drums. It is set up like a drum kit with foot pedals for bass drum and high hat. And has crash and ride cymbals as well as pads for snare drum, rack tom and floor tom. But what he discovered was that with a mixing board, separate headphone volume control for each members phones and mikes, we can play without the neighbors hearing. They just hear us singing from our mouths. Pretty cool huh? We do this every Friday. The one thing we don't do is gig. The drummer has his own band so they have regular dates they play, but this is a great way to get together and play rock and roll. We just do cover stuff, but we do The Dead, Beatles, The Who, Cream, Blind Faith, The Doors etc. It is a great thing after a hard days work on a Friday to come over with my Fender Stratocaster, plug in and ROCK!!

The Police/B-52's

After all these years, I still love going to concerts. Last night was no exception.
It was the final Police show ever, with the B-52's. I have seen the B's only a handful of times, but their tunes are great and they still rock.
I have seen the Police many times. I was even fortunate to see them at a now closed club called The Bottom Line in NYC.in 1979. Here is the ad from the archives:
APRIL 3-4, 1979
THE POLICE
* The show on April 4 was broadcast on WNEW F.M.

They blew the roof off of Madison Square Garden last night. They even did 2 cover tunes I never heard them do, Sunshine of Your Love and Purple Haze. Just amazing.
There were 2 groups I always hoped would get back together, The Police or Pink Floyd.
Aside for getting back together for that show last year, I doubt Floyd would ever get back on the road. But I am glad the Police did. Saw them twice last year and now the final show ever. Thank god for rock and roll. And these guys ROCKED!!!

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!

The Jets got Brett Favre. Pennington is toast. Don't know if the Super Bowl is in their future, but this gives the Jets a figting chance to do much better.
I am still in shock!!

Sunday, August 3, 2008

How Things Change So Quickly

Ah, the Metsies. They do great , play well on all cylinders, and then go back to their old ways. It just drives me out of my gourd when they have bases loaded and can't score. Too many times. And the relief pitching is going back to their old ways.
I know they are only 2 1/2 games out, but they can't falter now.
Stay tuned...

Friday, August 1, 2008

Frampton Still Rocks!!!

New York is a great place, especially in the summer. Lots of free concerts.
Well, in Brooklyn, Brighton Beach to be exact, they have been having free concerts for what is now 30 years. Last night was Mickey Thomas and Starship, not with members of the Jefferson Starship, but you knew the tunes, and it was cool. Now, a word or two about Peter Framton. The man still sounds excellent. He played for about 2 hours and did all the stuff you wanted to hear including some cover tunes. He did While My Guitar Gently Weeps, which was great of course, but he also did a cover of Soundgarden's Black Old Sun. Holy shit!!! That was PHENOMINAL!!!
Next Thursday I have tickets to see the last Police concert ever, with The B-52's as opening band, at Madison Square Garden. That shouldn't be too shabby. I will keep you posted.

Saturday, July 26, 2008

Mets/Jets

Well, after that horrible loss this week, The Mets have surely played much better.
And have I mentioned they are in FIRST PLACE BY 2 GAMES! Yes, there is plenty of baseball left, but this is a hell of a lot better than ealier in the season. Let's hope they keep it up!!
And as far as the Jetsies are concerned, training camp opened up with an interesting news item yesterday for those who have missed it. The Jets were given permission to talk to Brett Favre. To be honest, I wouldn't mind having him on the team. It remains to be seen what will transpire, but if they get him, should make for an interesting situation for Pennington and Clemens. Stay tuned....

Just A Small Suggestion To The NY Mets...

...When you are leading 5-2 in the top of the 9th, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE LEAD, AND NOT GIVE UP 6 RUNS.
OY GEVALT!!!!

Good Rock and Roll!!

Hey fellow music lovers! In 2008, we are extremely lucky to have some of the rock and rollers we grew up with still playing. Case in point, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. In Brooklyn where I live, they have free concerts in the summer in Brighton Beach, and he was the performer tonight. What a great show. You knew all the tunes, and it was cool to hear music you grew up with and still love. Next week is Smokey Robinson. To quote Arnold...I'll Be Back!!

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

All Star Game...Eh!

Now I know that sounds weird, but I for one, am not getting excited about tonight's All Star Game. And I know the importance of it being the last one at Yankee Stadium and all that, but I can't get excited. Years ago, when there was Seaver, Mays, Marichal, Gibson...etc, that I would watch. Plus it is not even starting till 8:40. That is insane. Oh well, those who think I am weird or worse, I welcome all comments.

I'm Back!

After not posting anything since January, I thought it was time to get back into the swing of things. I originally started this to be about sports and music, but it seemed to be only about sports. I will make it my business to talk about both.
As far as music, I saw one of the best concerts I have ever seen back in Feb. Clapton/Winwood.
Just phenominal. Saw some good stuff after that but nothing to compare. Had tickets to The Allman Brothers and Yes, not together of course, but both tours were cancelled. BUMMER.
And just to touch on sports, Back in April, saw the Rangers eliminate the Devils at The Prudential center. I am also glad the Mets are playing much better. Maybe this could be the start of something big..
And Jets training camp starts soon. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!! However this could be my last year as a season ticket holder, as well as many people I know, since the Jets are starting PSL's...Personal Seat Licenses. This is my 26th year, and I shouldn't have to pay legalized extortion.
More on all fo this soon!!

A tip of the cap
