Now onto your e-mail: • VERY INTERESTING, MARK. "Supposing that the NFL season will start on time, the first Sunday of the NFL season is the 10th anniversary of 9/11. The Jets play the Giants this year in the regular season, what do you think the chances of a Giants at Jets game to open the Sunday night season on NBC? I would think it's a no-brainer but the NFL might not want to put two New York teams on opening weekend.'' --Mark Epstein, Oradell, N.J. A brilliant idea I hadn't considered. I hope Dick Ebersol has. It sounds absolutely perfect. I don't see any downside. Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...04/05/mikel-leshoure/index.html#ixzz1IrfQFDFj
Pretty cool, considering the amounts of email he must get. Only downside, ROJF is driving around your neighborhood as we type.
:drunk: Ummm, let me get this right, Peter King, the writer that is mocked regularly on this site as for not knowing what he is talking about and being a total Pat's homer, agreed with something (about the Jets) that you sent him??? Rah, Rah. I'd rather face the Giants late in the season when the playoffs were on the line so we can ELIMINATE them from the competition. F 'em all!!!
I actually thought it was great to send the idea in to him, and even better that he acknowledged it. Unfortunately, there's no good way to share it with us without exposing yourself, so to speak, but I can't see anyone having a beef with you anyway.
If you live near Oradell, I can tell you that as a youngin I used to egg the shit out of the Red and Tan Bus Lines' buses that drove through that area. I had a very good family friend who grew up there. My folks knew his folks from Brooklyn. Our parents would play marjong and he and I would sneak out and peg the buses. Good freaking times.
Oh yeah, I live right off Kinderkamck so I hear those buses and the train all day. Used to sit in the trees and egg cars and run when they stopped. That's when boys were boys, but if we had Madden I would have been on the couch, lucky SOB's.
