Flipping through the News this morning I saw this nonsense:
Giants and Jets owners say they had no choice with pricey PSLs
Really? That’s interesting. No choice huh? Let me read more…
Mara says that the Giants would have been unable to avoid the PSL program even if they had known how severe the financial crisis would become. “That program is necessary to complete the construction of the new stadium,” he says.
Oh. Interesting. The PSLs fund the new stadium.
The question nobody answers, and the question the mainstream media continues not to ask is:
WHY DID THEY NEED A NEW STADIUM?
Show me one fan, Giants or Jets, who had a problem with the “old” stadium. Any complaints are related to parking (especially since construction started on the Xanadu boondogle). It’s hard to get their on mass transit, more so now that they made it a two seat ride. Building a new stadium in the exact same place solves none of these issues.
The Giants are…let me check….undefeated and the Super Bowl champions. The Jets were able to get this Brett Favre guy. The NFL still has revenue sharing and a pretty good TV contract.

Be honest when sending out those $20,000 invoices.
