The Staten Island “Express”way... you can walk faster most times.

Gaaaah, that shit was inescapable for a while. You had all the loudmouths claiming it was THE NY SONG now, replacing Frank’s “New York, New York”. Not even a decade later, who even remembers that song?

At this point it seems more like Deadspin’s inclusion of sports in its politics coverage.

When I got married 24 years ago, finances were tight so we didn’t bother with cable. We were content with broadcast TV off the roof antenna, and sexy times.

I had (and still have) a ‘66 Galaxie when I heard about the new 500 coming out. “Cool!” I thought, until I saw one. Bleah. 

Years ago in the Mets Clubhouse store they had a huge panoramic photo from the beginning of the ceremonies for the last opening day at Shea. My wife was plainly visible walking down the aisle to her seat. I was not depicted, as I was getting beers before walking in, so I didn’t buy it. Was a bit of a mistake on my…

Eli seems like a nice guy and all, but if Tyree doesn’t make a million-to-one catch and Welker doesn’t get alligator arms, Eli has zero rings. He is aggressively mediocre.

Another time I’ll tell the story where she made me sell my hot rod 65 ford station wagon to buy a PT Cruiser.

Because it’s all a game and the True Believers on both sides are the suckers.

I had an ‘88 I bought from my parents. 4-door, burgundy with burgundy velour interior, and either that same 3.8 HO or the 3800. Car was very fast for a family sedan, super-comfortable, and you could store meat with the air conditioner running. Loved that car. Other than one warranty repair and a replaced muffler I…

Regardless the merits of McNabb’s actual play (I think he was pretty damn good), to say the media weren’t rooting for him is to be disingenuous at best.

Speaking of the Giants and underrated QBs, can we talk about Phil Simms for a minute? The guy had absolute garbage receivers his entire career other than Bavaro, and still would have won two rings had he not broke his foot in ‘91. Maybe another if the Giants organization didn’t tank the strike year. And then the…

He is arguably the worst quarterback ever elected to the Hall of Fame.

It is mind-blowing how dim people staffing marketing departments at gigantic companies are.

I’m 50 and am having two older cars rebuilt - a ‘66 Ford and an ‘80 450 SL. They should last till I am no longer able to drive, and I will chuckle at everyone’s computer-mobiles being hacked, tracked or otherwise molested. And if there’s an EMP attack I still have the old points ignition for the Ford so I can ride…

Kingman played virtually all of his home games throughout his career in cavernous pitchers parks. Frequently on bad teams with no lineup protection. Yet he still managed to hit 442 HRs, including 35 in his final season, a record until Big Roidy broke it last year. Had his career not been cut short by collusion he…

If Jeurys Familia didn’t go to the Armando Benitez School of Clutch Playoff Closers, the Royals would have accomplished one less feat, I’ll tell you what.

I don’t like the one-game play-in as it runs counter the the whole endless-season narrative.

The other end of the wedding drinking invulnerability spectrum would be Italians. Mine was at a high-end catering hall with food that can compete with virtually any restaurant in NYC. I ate approximately my weight in appetizers, plus three entrees and half the Viennese Table, and barely had a buzz despite having…

Mine was a month prior. And after a young lifetime of hardcore alcohol abuse and related wildness and shenanigans, it was very tame: nice steak dinner, beers at a pub, couple nightcaps at a nudie bar and then crashed at one guy’s apartment. Wasn’t even hung over Sunday morning. We ordered wings while watching…
