Very Sad

Once again, Doc Gooden is in trouble. He was involved in a car crash, and was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, endangering the welfare of a child..his 5 year old son Dylan...leaving the scene and DWI with a child passenger. When one thinks of the potential great career he could have had, and now this, as I wrote in the subject matter. Very sad!!

The Horrible N.Y. Rangers

They had to win in Boston yesterday, to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. They played a lackluster game and lost 2-1. Now they are 5 points behind the Bruins..who have a game at hand, with 10 games left for the Rangers. I think it is safe to say that they won't make the playoffs. I am a long time Ranger fan and I have no problem saying this. They don't deserve to make the playoffs. As long as Jim(I Am As Dumb As I Look) Dolan won't fire Sather and Tortorella. This team is going nowhere.

The Blues Hour

About 9 years ago, I got REAL tired of commercial radio..the classic rock station, Q104.3, plays the same songs and has endless commercials..so I started listening to WBGO 88.3 on your radio dial, with no commercials. They are based in Newark N.J. and is a jazz and blues station. Shortly thereafter, I became a member, since they had one of their pledge drives, and I get to go to members parties, get free cd's every 3 months along with hearing great music. But right now is the Blues Hour, every Mon-Fri 3-4 in the afternoon. They just played Robert Cray, Derek Trucks, The Allman Brothers from the Fillmore East and now they are playing Stevie Ray Vaughn who would have been 59 tomorrow. Just unbelievably great stuff.

So Long Winter

The temperature where I am...I work in lower Manhattan...is in the low 60's.
Spring starts Saturday! No more snow, no more gloom, just beautiful weather!

Rangers

I realize I talk a lot about sports in this here blog, which was to be about sports and music. However that is to confining. I plan on talking about other stuff too. But back to sports for a minute. I have not mentioned the New York Rangers in quite a while, I guess because, there hasn't been too much to talk about. Right now, they are 3 points behind The Bahstan Bruins, and if the season ended today, it is time for the golf course and no playoffs. There are 16 games left and they do have an opportunity to make the playoffs if they display some of the hustle that they have shown to infrequently. They play the Devils tonight in The Prudential Center in Newark, and a win would be a good thing. The clock is ticking however.

Cablevision/ABC

Just another episode where the consumer gets the dirty end of the stick. I am not a watcher of Lost or the Oscars or most anything on ABC, however there are many people who do watch, and if this does happen it will be horrible. They say we should call Cablevision and say lose ABC, lose my business. A few years ago, the same thing happened with Time Warner and ABC..which was taken off the air for a few days. When it was restored, there was a full page ad in the daily newspapers saying you have a choice of cable systems. That is a total lie. In my neighborhood, it is Cablevision or nothing. Sure you can get Direct TV, but in the apartment building I live in, I am by the fire escape, so I am not allowed to have that. James(I Am As Dumb As I Look)Dolan, doesn't give a s**t about the consumers. He makes tons of money from his cable system, sports teams and what ever else he owns. Of course ABC is also to blame, wanting 40 million. The end is the 2 babies fight, and the people who pay their hard earned money get the shaft. Very sad!
